No I no longer have those people in my life.:-)+

no, i couldn't be around someone i felt like that strongly about. but, i am diplomatic and courteous to people i don't really like, to maintain the peace.

No I could not be so hypocritical, it would drive me insane to have to be nice to someone I do not like, sorry (not even to keep the peace) hey maybe Im wrong!!!

I couldn't do that if someone offered me a million bucks..I'm a lousy actress so no matter how hard I tried my face would show the distaste/disgust and I wouldn't be able to pull it off. Now, if my child's life depended on it, that would be different..I could do a lot of things that I would ordinarily be incapable of doing. ! :) Happy Friday! :)

...actually, I would have to say yes...my first thought is about a colleague where I am employed. I feel extremely strong in my dislike, however,it is important to have a semblance of peace...my overt dislike would be like the proverbial "the ripple in the pond..." and negatively impact the working environment.I can't & don't want to leave my job...I love it, but this person is a portion of harsh reality...& helps teach me the practice of tolerance. (but I really can't stand this person...I really can't!!!!) And I ask you, haven't we all had a teacher, a boss, an in-law, ect...that we just can't stand...but we make do...adapt & adjust...and let's take our dislikes to a another level...a race, a country, a religion...if we really want Peace...(and I do) we all find ways to make it work. Good question Shattered...it really made me go into my thoughts!
