I think it's everything's nature to fear what is not understood, but hatred depends on the person. I don't think it's our nature, but I think it's an easy path to it.

True. Since we don't know what they are capable of, we have fear. (i.e. Ghosts, Aliens, ect.) I'm not saying they DO exist. I'm just saying it hasn't been proven wrong.

Half true. We do fear until we understand I do not think we hate. Well maybe southern people

Only for the close-minded idiot humans.

It is human nature to try to understand what we do not know. It is a human failing that we hate things unknown and a sad trait in us that causes unreasonable attitudes towrds things simply because we do not understand So I do not think it is human nature to hate/fear things that we do not understand.

False! is my answer to that question. Generally, people do not FEAR what they don't understand and some will try and get to the bottom of it. They are more frightened of the UNKNOWN which is something completely different. Hate, in this context is a product of ignorance.

I think it depends on what it is we don't understand. If a huge monster comes toward us we assume it's motives aren't honorable so we fear...I think our curiosity about things we don't understand is what drives us to achieve and succeed and invent. I don't see how hate has anything to do with it...how can hate what you don't understand? Hate presumes knowledge.

Nah , if I don't understand it I brush it under the carpet.

Well I fear zombies and most think they are not real but there are private islands that are not on the world maps or globe that the goverment have them where they are and they work and that is scary to me.
