Music is life. It provides me an escape from my day to day life, as well as give me hope for the future. Music provides a way to express my feelings and emotions. Its the perfect outlet for me.
I would start with the hate. If people would just learn to set aside any/all differences and just love each other; everything would be so much better. Life is too short to hate someone because of the color of their skin, or the way they believe. I believe that anybody can do anything they want to do, and be anything they wan to be; just as long as they aren't hurting themselves or others.
I listen to wide variety of music. I suppose it just depends on my mood. But my preferences are EBM and Metal. Some examples would be Wumpscut, Psyclon Nine, and Suicide Commando.
