I hate people who hate
The reason people use hate is because we hear it every day in every way, it's the way it is and they way it probally will be. People grow up with the word, and in turn use it themselves even then thought they may not really hate whatever it is they are talking about, but dislike it.
Also, when some one says they hate canada for instance, they may just be saying they don't like the landscape or such, not everything about Canada and it's people. As Americans, we tend to clump a lot of things together which is why you think people that say they hate Canada and it's people. Take Sandals for example, he dislikes 2/3 of the places he visited in Canada, so he just groups it all together.
