Someone mentioned that rat-hating might be ok, if you were personally affected (family member, etc) ... that's what you call shifting the blame. "Buuut...buut...my uncle Tony would have been free if that guy didn't tell the cops where the body was! Damn rats!" Give me a break!
I didn't say it was okay, just that it was understandable if you feel that way because you lost a loved one to prison.
I was also quick to point out that young kids who live in Middle America posting on the Internet that they "hate these rat bastards" are basically a fucking joke. They haven't lived yet and have no idea how they'd react in such a situation.
As far as keeping your mouth shut as a matter of principle, it's something you're either born with or you're not. You either get it or you don't.
