Depends on the intensity. Sometimes intense love takes over hatred. And somtimes intense hate destroys everything.

Stronger?? each emotion has its own properties. Hate is an emotion which is easily aroused. Road rage is an example of people hating each other that may be too easily aroused. People that have loved for long periods of time may grow apart. Trust, caring, and affection are casualties of hate in a marriage. Divorce is an effect of what was once love turning to hate.
Very few people are willing to give love away unconditionally (nor should they, certainly, love shouldn't be able to be dished out as easily as "hate"). Friendships can turn into love on rare occasion. Long time friendships can create a loving bond between friends. Love takes an enormous time and energy to cultivate. Love also needs to be nurtured to continue on. Infatuation and lust is often associated with love... but this is often a bond only generated from one party where true love is a bond between two people. Love for mankind and humankind is a ideal that doesn't truly reach the depths and power that true love actually bonds two people together. Love is limited to the time you put into nurturing the people whom you choose to have relationships with. Some believe that, It is better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all.
Love takes a lot longer to develop than hate, and love is often more fragile and harder to maintain than hate. But taking the old Taoist line, one could not survive without the other for if there was no hate there would be no love one feeling is not exclusive of the other.

I think love and hate have equal power. I guess it depends on the application of personal vocation. There are people i hate but i guess the effort i devote to it depends on the transgression and my peronal boundaries. Love is an emotion that is ruled by a sense of selflessness. I also think there is a fine line between love and hate as they are both passions and the boundaries for both are very fine. They both are like a double bladed sword

I would say "Hate"
When you hate someone,that's a pretty strong emotion. The fellings of annimosity building up inside a person,can cause physical and mental pain,to both parties involved. A person can get over the lost of love,and be able to love again,but when you hate someone,those fellings can last a lifetime (If you let them!)

They are equally intense. I learned in this class I had to take the other day that there is a very fine line between love and hate (specifically dealing with other people). If you look at how you react, they are very similar. When you truly love or hate some one you:
(1) Think about them all day.
(2) Dream about them.
(3) Let their actions control alot of your life.
Whether you love or hate anything in life it is generally with "all your heart". They are equal emotions.

Will the forces of good win over the forces of evil? Open.. Do you "love" your date to the high school prom? The prom is just a temporary arrangement that is soon over and the high school graduates go to different colleges or to the big city to look for a job (??Just kidding, they stay home with Mummy)
Hate is better. A robot does not know love.

It depends soley on the individual. But sadly, we have waaaaay more instances of how hate is the stronger emotion en masse, than love.

to me the stronger emotion is love but when you had been love with someone the stronger emotion is hate,because you will get bored with the person you love.But when the person that you love leave away from your life.the stronger emotion is love.

Hate, everything in this world (it seems to me) has to do with people hating others. people go to war, people (on both sides) die, their is tension, people end up angry and they begin to feel hate. They want to get revenge for the people they knew that were killed and seem to think that more killing will be just the right 'pay back'. But it never ends just there,the killing continues, back and forth until everyone is so angry at people that they don't actually know.
An eye for an eye, right? well it will only take so much time for the whole world to have participated in the blood bath before its to late to stop it, hate has infected the earth, revenge is the one thing everyone is plotting and the world will become blind.
Hate spreads like a disease, its passed on to our children, because they usually take on what ever it is that we believe being exposed to such an environment for so long, they come to think that the way their parents act (hating others for one reason or another) is right and 'justified' they come to believe that people are no longer equals, and its everyone for themselves. People no longer care.
Love can only do so much, but it seems that before it can their has to be some kind of remedy to banish hate.
no matter how much love their is, their is already so much hate that man has spread it makes it seem like the job is impossible and will never be done. i know its depressing, and maybe its just me who thinks like this -but to me, this is the world today, my generation, and for the generations to come.
I don't mean to sound depressed, but thats just how i feel.
