I think I just hate people in general and those that I like are the exception. I try to keep an open mind and to value the opinions of others, even if we disagree. But sometimes I just can't get over how vile and despicable people can be. For example, while on a field trip, I kayaked to a small, remote sandbar with several other students and a biology teacher near the mouth of the Connecticut river. Upon arrival, we collected samples and talked about the local fauna and flora, some of which were quite unique and interesting. While traveling along the sandbar, one of the students noticed a small jellyfish about 5-6 meters away from us, trapped in the shallows. He then proceeded to break a stick off of a nearby piece of driftwood and walk over to it in order to stab it and eviscerate it. He then proceeded to smear its viscera across the beach and stomp its remains into the ground. when asked why he did so, he replied in a emotionless, careless manner : "It could of hurt us. I had to kill it first!!! its only a jellyfish!!! who gives a f#@k!!!". Several other classmates joined him in killing several fish, countless jellyfish and other small animals throughout the course of the trip. In most cases the teacher was well aware but legally couldn't do much to intervene. Later while eating lunch, he walked over to me and whispered into my ear that he would kill every last ant that he saw on the island simply to make me reach my boiling point. As you can imagine, I gave him what he deserved. Everyone left me behind and I kayaked back to the harbor alone.
WARNING: The following is a rant in which I agree with CTAntkeeper, except for the fact about hating humans. I don't even hate bullies, etc.
This shows how cruel some humans are. One day, the only humans surviving will be the ones who appreciate each other and all other life.
I never kill the organisms I hate (some fungi, mites, and a few weird bugs), but some people think that people should kill EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL that threatens them a little bit. If pandas killed humans, we would still love them more than bugs just because they are "cute and fluffy". That may be a reason why I don't really like pandas 
.
For example, once some whiny kid was showing off about how he threw bricks at a swarm of honeybees. I asked why and he said it was because he was allergic to bee stings. So?! Just because some animals could hurt you (you could even get some medicine to help with the sting effect) that doesn't mean you KILL them all! Compare the injuries of one human to the deaths of hundreds of bees.
Also, everyone is talking about driving mosquitoes to extinction. Seriously?! Mosquitoes are actually quite beneficial pollinators (females only drink blood for protein for their eggs) and are important foods for many animals. Thank god that I have some friends that agree with what I think. I thought I was alone for a while 
.
Also, there is talk of introducing Phorid flies to fire ant infested spots. Simply don't. Really? Phorid flies couldn't really care less about what ant they kill, from aggressive alien ants to native ant species. Simply trying to remove one species but killing many others isn't really worth it.
Also, once I saw a couple of girls throwing rocks at a baby snake(in Ohio, because the blind snake babies in Hawaii never seem to emerge. It was already bloody and dying) . I asked why and they said that it had bitten a squirrel's tail. I couldn't believe that they thought that a nonpoisonous queen snake that was at least 1/4th the size of an average squirrel could cause any harm to a tiny little queen snake. I shooed them away and took the poor thing home. Sadly, despite my efforts to bandage it (I was 6, don't blame me for not recognizing proper reptile medicine techniques) it bled to death.
There you have it. My crazy rant (this is not supposed to be a pun, but it actually looks a lot like "My crazy ant"). I hope that this doesn't offend some of you.
Also, CtAntkeeper, I love jellyfish. Are they common there? I'm probably going to keep an aquarium of them when I move to CT.
