Right wingers, far left wingers, religious people, new agers, most old people, most young people. I *think* that covers it.
 
Racists, Republicans, Neo-Nazis, Libertarians, extremely ignorant people. People who make comments without trying to understand the other side.

Of course, I only hate most of them on the internet.

I generally don't hate organizations; or I hate them all the same.
 
Also, people who do stupid things, and yes that includes myself.

conservatives, ppl. majoring in humanities

Hehe. Well, technically the humanities is where you find the least amount of conservatives. But, the best radicals imo have been scientists.

On advice from old ppl:

"Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost. One may almost doubt if the wisest man has learned any thing of absolute value by living. Practically, the old have no very important advice to give the young, their own experience has been so partial, and their lives have been such miserable failures, for private reasons, as they must believe; and it may be that they have some faith left which belies that experience, and they are only less young than they were. I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors." from Walden..
