Poll question: Which emotion do human beings use more? Love or Hate?
All the posts about The Great Satan (Reagan) passing got me wondering...which do we use more often - love for our fellow man, or hate for our fellow man. Think of history...do we have more wars then peace? Do we discriminate more than tolerate differences?

2. It's easier for human beings to hate than to love
The act of love seems to be the single hardest thing for people to do.
Hating takes no effort or thinking.

3. Other
Greed is the only constant through out human existence.

4. True, but that's a biological urge
I would argue that greed is linked to self-preservation; which while this shouldn't justify human greed, it is still has roots in biology.
Hate, on the other hand, is a wholly unique state of mind to humans...

5. Depends on the human
Mainly hate though
But, is their hate a result of love?
