I'm amazed at the number of people who hate olives here.

I'm not terribly fond of the typical green spanish olive, but one of the tastiest foods on Earth is the Kalamata olive, a delicious black Greek olive. I could eat an entire jar of them in one sitting. If all you have had are canned black or green olives, I can understand your opinions, but try a Kalamata olive before you swear off olives for good.

There are a LOT of different kinds of olives out there. The typical olive you remember from your american childhood is just about the worst.
