If you believe for a split second that Ranma and Akane >hate each other,
then you are truly far gone, my friend. You'd have to be >madder than
Kodachi on a BAD day. There's just nothin' I can do for >ya....

	They may hate each other on a momentary basis.  So, >at the given
instant they fight, yes.  But after they have time to >think of it, they
always manage to work out, while not most efficiently, >whatever
differences they had between them.

	I'd say it's not even that.  One thing that both Ranma and Akane have in 
common is that they neither one of them has any real hate for anyone.  I mean 
take Kodachi.  They both have plenty of reason to hate her for everything she's 
put them through, but when she asks Ranma for help when the White Lilly shows 
up, he helps her and Akane goes along with it.  And look at that scene from OAV 
#6 where Akane's trying to train to beat the 'new tendo sisters', and she asks 
Shampoo and Ukyo for help.  Akane trusted them to help her because she would 
have done the same in similar circumstances.
	Hatred is one emotion that Akane and Ranma just don't have much to do 
with.  Anger is as close to it as they get.
