No, John Adams did not personally hate Thomas Paine.
In a letter to his wife, John Adams wrote that the author of Common Sense (Thomas Paine) "[had] a better hand at pulling down than building." Although he agreed with Paine that American independence from Great Britain was desperately needed, he disagreed with some of the sentiments espoused by Paine's famous pamphlet. Chief among them were Paine's use of the Bible to prove the illegitimacy of monarchy by calling it "one of the sins of the Jews," the way the pamphlet illuded that war with Great Britain would end in a quick victory, and most importantly Paine's vision of a unicameral legislature after the war.
Adams did not hate Paine, however, he did disagree strongly with some of the ideas Paine layed out in Common Sense. It is also important to note that Adams, along with most revolutionaries at the time, thought very highly of Common Sense, he even went so far as to call it the "common faith."

Why did Hamilton and Burr duel?
There are many factors leading to the duel. There had been a bitter and long-standing political and personal hostility between Hamilton and Burr. Burr was what we call a "politician" today -- a person who will say and do whatever's likely to get him elected. Back then the aristocracy felt it was expected that leaders try to hold their belief of what was best for the fledgling nation above personal gain. Also, Burr was a member of the other political party and had published articles very critical of John Adams who was of the same party as Hamilton. Hamilton despised Burr and would say so publicly. Burr challenged the duel because he thought it would reestablish is failing political career. Hamilton did not want the fight but could not escape it without losing his honor, and hence his political career. There was an unspoken arrangement at the time that once each person had stood to the duel each could fire into the air and neither would be harmed. Hamilton did but Burr shot him dead.

Why do you think Washington chose Jefferson and Hamilton for important cabinet positions?
There is a saying about keeping your friends near and your enemies closer. Jefferson and Hamilton were strong anti federalist and it seems that Washington was smart enough to keep them near rather than to let them roam around on the edges to cause problems . Hamilton also hated Adams and eventually Jefferson does as well. Washington didn't care much for Adams and ignored him so they all had that in common. Politically Washington was pretty savvy and astute when it come to controlling people and Congress.
