Is 'I love a parade' gramatically correct?

I'm wondering about the use of singular nouns when making statements like "I love a parade" or "I hate a thief". Wouldn't "I love parades" or "I hate thieves" be the correct way to make these statements, or are both ways correct? Is there a rule that governs this type of statement?

That is fine in the right context. You and your friends are watching a parade. You can say either, "I love parades." or "I love a parade." (The latter means that you are presently experiencing a feeling of love.)
