BB, do you know what the dictionary definition of the word "bigot" is? I looked it up just to be absolutely sure. It is:


bigot - a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

Origin:
1590–1600; MF (OF: derogatory name applied by the French to the Normans), perh. OE bî God by God



I find that hilarious, because by that definition almost everybody on this whole damned forum IS a bigot and is practicing bigotry...specially those who rave on all the livelong day about other people who have some different opinion being "bigots", despite apparently having no idea themselves what the world "bigot" actually means.

I mention this not to go after you particulary, BB...but just because I thought you'd find it interesting in itself. You might, like me, find it amusing. Truly, bigotry is an ever-present blight these days, specially in political discussions, because practically everyone I hear engaging in them, whether they are "liberal" or "conservative" is utterly intolerant of any differing belief, or opinion...and quite proud of it too! They relish their own intolerance and self-righteous fury. ;-D

Genuine fairness and objectivity are as rare today as they were in the Dark Ages.

But I like Obama. You know why? He's tolerant, and he listens fairly to those of differing beliefs and opinions. He actually listens! Astounding. The man is one in a million when it comes to politicians these days.
