I am prejudice of many things. You can only not like something once you have already done it or you have had a bad experience with it. The reason people are prejudice against certain thing is if that person has enough knowledge to make that decision, it would be quiet silly to be prejudice against something we don't even know much about. The reason people talk about it is to spread the word just like everything else out there that people spread the word for, specially if bad. Good and Bad News travels fast.

Prejudice is a sign of personal weakness and insecurity.

I think it is because it is an issue that you might be passionate about. If you truly believe in something or feel something, what's wrong with keeping up with it. As long as you're not hurting someone else, who cares?

In order to know fully why you don't like something, you must know about it in deph to critisize it better.
It's a form of masochism xD

I guess to not like something,you have to know all about it so that you know why you don't like it.You keep talking about it so that you can convince others not to like it too.

I guess it's "Know thy enemy." I'm not too fond of Nazis...but I know a lot and read about them.
