Is it wrong to truly hate a part of your country's population?

I would not talk that way and probably would not think that way. I do get frustrated and upset at political misdeeds, but I see the way to cope with them is by learning and changing. I do hear your frustration, too.
There have been bloodbaths and genocides in history but they are not well regarded.
Change is not easy, and it takes effort, not merely wishing death on people.

Ever read the history of that region? A revolution in the name of Freedom is long overdue there, IMHO.

Thats what I thought when I saw that too blue lol.
Perhaps Mackenzie is just living in the US? Staying in a country doesn't automatically make me refer to it as "mine".

Wouldnt that make it "Our" Country?
That would only be apropriate when speaking as a single understanding body...like someone speaking, in person, to another member of the same society, "Our country is great."

"Our's" would be a vague response to "what country are you from" which could either mean "I'm from the same country as you" or "I think you're from the same country as me." "Your's" is the appropriate response because it eliminates the possibillity for misinterpretation and becuase my 11th grade english teacher told me so.

I don't know about "hate", but what's going on over there is extreme...
I do dislike the east of "my" country Germany...I still pay an axtra tax so they can rebuild their part after the DDR. Crazy.

WTF are you trying to say and why are you trying to bring my 11th grade english teacher into this?

Are you a citizen of the USA Or do you hold multiple citizenship?

You obviously didnt learn anything from your 11th grade english teacher, like comprehension. Unless you havent taken 11th grade english yet.

Are you working on a "point" here or just trying get a kerfuffle going? My comprehension of the english language is rather adequate...if you're having trouble with this thread, you might investigate your own.

For kicks, my teachers managed to teach me how to use commas, apostrophes, capitalization and how to create complete sentences as opposed to a collection of fragments.
