is there any difference between I don't like you & I hate you ??
Isn't it that dislike is passive, hate is inactive? as in the oerson you don't like, you wouldn't think of them if they weren't there, whereas the person you truly hate is always on your mind.
Which is worse, being hated ir being indifferent and forgotten? I don't know really.

When, if ever, is it impolite to appear knowledgeable? Should a person ever apologize for their knowledge? Why?
Showing off is bad when it isn't based on anything, when an arrogant, know-it-all attitude covers ignorance of a topic. People will follow "strong, confident alpha male" leaders, sometimes to disaster.
Also, when you do genuinely know a subject but want to beat other people with your knowledge, rather than put it at the service of others.

What do you think could be the cause(s) of "shared madness"? (E.g. shared delusions.)
I always feel I'm letting you down, like so many of your questions this is excellent but I don't really know. :(
There is this excellent book, it was made into a film but I've never seen it. You might enjoy. :)

#wednesdaywisdom give someone you know some advice right here
Here's my advice to Brexshitters who, in their spite for "foreigners", have just voted to make their own lives worse. I might be tempted to gloat except that I'll be dragged down with them.

Do you look down upon those who choose to undergo plastic surgery? Why?
I've never really thought about it, certainly I've not considered it myself. I don't think I'd judge other people if they feel the need for it?
Because not everyone has my beauty.

Are you interested in post-mortem changes of human body or would you rather not learn the morbid details of decomposition your body will experience? Why?
I'm sorry, post-mortem bodies aren't my idea of a night out!
What I was interested in is in the old days, they were often not sure someone was actually dead, so people were buried alive and often died of suffocation in the grave!
http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/01/06/im-not-dead-yet/
People would have it in their wills that if they looked dead they should have their wrists cut to save them a slow, agonising death in a grave. Great, I hadn't thought of that in ages and now I have :s

How would you describe a mentally healthy individual (e.g. your own, subjective guidelines to determine whether a person is mentally healthy or not)? Would you say that 100% mentally healthy people are a rarity and nearly everyone has unresolved issues? Why?
Only the easy questions :)
I don't know, like if our whole society is sick, does that mean fitting into it is actually a bad thing? Would someone with no issues at all just be a boring pushover? Sometimes anger and disaffection is the right response to injustice, sometimes it's just pointless, like walking around in a rage without ever using your energy to right wrongs.
This is a great question, but I don't really know much about it except to say this:

what advice would you give to Someone Who's Being Bullied?
Why not phone a helpline? Because it happened to me and I never thought to get the school or parents involved, no one knows what the consequences of that would be.
I hear it is more insidious now, going online and so on. So I think your first thing should be to contact professionals who aren't to do with the school in case there are unintended consequences.
Above all, it isn't your fault and you have to try your hardest not to let them define you as fat, ugly, a freak, "swot" (this is what I so often got) and keep hold of your own life and interests, not let yourself be defined by what other people do to you that you don't deserve.
I don't know your circumstances, anon, so I don't soecifically know who would be the best people to consult but I'd begin by getting on the phone to someone and don't be afraid or ashamed of it.

Going on my tree-planting trip in September! It will be hard work and a bit nerve-racking to make such a big journey, 5 hours on the train, but I hope it will be rewarding & useful.

Do any of the things that used to upset you a few years ago matter at all to you today?
Not really, a few years ago I had an underactive thyroid, so from vaguely around 2012 to March 2015 I was far more upset and angry at the drop of a hat.
Today, I still get angry at injustice or seriously bad behaviour but I don't get het up so easily.
But then again, I haven't got laid since January so I'm in a bit of a mean mood :)

"people says world will be better place if there is no muslim on this earth" no muslims = no isis what do you think ?
Except that Muslims and Christians lived in peace in Saddam's Iraq, which was a pretty nasty place but without mass sectarian killings and the worst of the Islamists kept in line...
Until "patriots" decided the best way of fighting the Scary Muslims would be to overthrow a secular regime that protected the religion they allegedly follow themselves. So who now thinks the "response" to 9/11 was a good thing?
9/11 eh, arentchasickofit? Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to sell arms to Islamists and anyone who was against communism in the 80s, without a milisecond's thought for the long-term consequences. Why have "patriots" spent decades cuddling up to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain etc, then have the gall to accuse Rotten Lefties of doing the same themselves?
Obama could have risen above this, but his own tendency to foreign policy realism was undermined by Killary, who is the main architecht of the Libya farrago. Therefore I support Gary Johnson.
Also why is Iran meant to be the worst place ever, neocons hate it far more than the Sunni regimes- which they quite like, and they even supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt- when there are no Islamic State supporters in Iran?
You're an idiot, anon, and should try looking in the mirror since "patriots" and "anti-jihadists" have spent three decades stoking up the problems they project on to Scary Muslims and Rotten Lefties.

I've always got a load of plans, two journeys booked and a third will be booked this month when I get my wages and I'm back from this, my next one:
http://www.visitcheshire.com/things-to-do/the-gritstone-trail-p49561
This is the third, and shortest, of the three walks in the "series". Like the others it combines places I've been to and places I haven't, a good blend of familiar & unfamiliar.

Which topics, emotional themes, or degrees of humor appeal to you most when reading the answers of others? Additionally, do you mind reading conversations between people, or do you think Ask feeds should be limited to Q&A?
I've never really thought about it that much, I'm afraid :) Apart from I like anything Tolkien-y, for several years he lived in the city my girlfriend now lives in and I feel I have a lot in common with him, minus the being a genius bit :)

What I'd like to see more of is good questions of the day, today's isn't bad but I think you'll agree that most of them are woeful. And it's be good to see a million different opinions on the same topic, if it was an interesting topic.
One thing, when they allowed people to disable reading answers liked by people they follow, I actually kept mine. I don't follow too many people and all of them are great, so I never read anything unpleasant and it's a good gateway into the wider world and way of vaguely keeping aware of people I don't follow all the time. So I thought that was good and ask has become a bit narrower since most people turned it off.

The @Hadacol....where did the name come from? It was a snake oil named that in Louisiana, sold by a congressman. There was even a song about it. Two different Hadacol's perhaps?
Thanks for asking :)
It's a reference to the same snake oil, I like Hank Williams and he went on the Hadacol Special with it. It wasn't a carefully thought out username, I just "had to call" myself something :)

Who is the one person that can always make you laugh?
How do you feel when you love someone so madly that you forget everything in life, but you still cannot tell that person or deep inside you know he/she doesn't feel the same way?
Because I liked you better
Than suits a man to say,
It irked you, and I promised
To throw the thought away.
To put the world between us
We parted, stiff and dry;
'Good-bye,' said you, 'forget me.'
'I will, no fear', said I.
If here, where clover whitens
The dead man's knoll, you pass,
And no tall flower to meet you
Starts in the trefoiled grass,
Halt by the headstone naming
The heart no longer stirred,
And say the lad that loved you
Was one that kept his word.
You want to have a look at that author, AE Housman, I love him. He really understood life imho.
