You are right chess can be harmful too. Those wasted hours studying and memorizing start-games and end-games and then as you say the hatred. Maybe it's good mental exercise but you might better use your time studying mathematics physics science or engineering and that way help yourself and others better.

Well I'm not exactly saying that (it sure might be, like anything that can consume your life)...
My tongue-in-cheek point was along the lines that just because a discipline doesn't involve punching someone in the face - unlike boxing, called out for it by the parent comment - doesn't necessarily mean it's not a brutal sport... in psychological dimension, obviously.
