DrDebzz Opening Shpiel: To hate is to feel intense deep passionate emotional dislike for an individual, group, entity, object, behavior, idea, to criticize or abuse. The antonym for hate is “love.” How do we move from hatred to love in order to preserve our species? As the Obamas tell their daughters, "When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high."
Two Oscar nominated films in the Best Foreign Film category concern hate crimes. For an act to be considered a hate crime: 1) the act must constitute an offense under criminal law and 2) the act must have been motivated by bias.
In the case of "The Insult" the prejudice is between nationalities and the crime is an assault provoked by hateful language. In "A Fantastic Woman,” the bias is towards a transgender woman and the crime is physical verbal and emotional abuse.
Freedom of speech isn’t synonymous with hateful language, i.e. words of loathing detestation abhorrence abomination execration hostility enmity animosity revulsion disgust contempt. Those are equivalent to a killing of your soul your core your very essence and existence. No one has the right to desecrate defile debase degrade vandalize damage destroy deface or violate your body mind and spirit.
Words have the power to lift you up or tear you down. Check your language delicately at the door. If you can’t find something Thoughtful Helpful Intelligent Necessary and Kind (T.H.I.N.K) then seal your lips. Especially don’t wait til you’re on your deathbed before you tell those you care about that you adore, admire, and appreciate them.

Guest Caller Kaya from Burbank: A family wedding is coming up and I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I don’t go I’ll look worse in my relative’s eyes. If I do go I’m afraid I’ll be bombarded with criticism.
Write in question from Stacey in Sioux Falls: I’m attracted to younger men but I get slack from my friends and family. Why is it okay for men to date younger women but not vice versa?
