Hate is a strong word, especially when used against your own prime minister. In a democracy, people have the right to criticize government, but criticism should be constructive, and beneficial towards the country. When people criticize for the sake of criticism, society stops moving forward, and we can never progress.
Let's not be pessimistic cynics, but rather optimistic realists. When something has happened, we cannot reminisce about what it was like before, or how life would have been better if it had not happened. When some challenge presents itself, we shouldn't complain, but rather find solutions.
I understand that many people don't like Harper, and I don't understand why. Sure, Harper may have his faults, but hate is beyond what is necessary to condemn his actions. We did elect, please remember, so that means that as a country, we have decided that Harper is the best choice for our future. We, as the people of that country, should stand behind the decisions of our fellow countrymen. Only when a country unites in both ideology and practice, can that country ultimately progress and become a stronger nation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for constructive debate. Debate is absolutely necessary for the best selection of options, but when that debate becomes too focused on just attacking people and knocking people down, then I would rather not hear it. That's hate.
Why do haters all gotta hate?
I just think that since Harper got elected, let's try to make the best of it. There will always be those poeple who whine and complain, but let them do that. We're stuck with him for 4 years. We can either make the best out of those 4 years or b*tch and moan about it for 4 years. The choice is yours.
What say you?
