Ok, I know that there are the people that absolutly HATE D&D and other rpg's, but the thing I don't know is WHY? How did it start that gave them such a bad rep?

Look up (google the terms, that should do it) the terms "Pat Pulling", "D&D" and Mazes & Monsters" and "BADD" and that should give you a ton of info. Most of the media hype began around the disappearance of a guy named Dallas Egbert, who was experiencing some home problems, and ran away for a while. The Private Detective his mother hired to find him discovered he played this new game called "D&D", and the implication was questioned. Later, he committed suicide, and when the urban legend kept growing, D&D was worked into the story.
