I am not up for endless of going back and forth, was just stating some facts. As for Turkey...
http at is mainly Jewish does not seem to struggle with this problem (for non-islamic women anyways).
Originally posted by twhiteheadYou know, look, this conversation is getting way, WAY more tedious than I want to participate in.
Have you considered that maybe you are stereotyping me given all the assumptions you just made because you know I am not american?
Do you consider distaste for communism to be reasonable? Are those that have a distaste for communists bigots?
Originally posted by SuzianneBut I thought offering constant stereotypes of a group of people you disapprove of is a form of bigotry, no?
Yes, so what? I really do not think that having a bias against Republicans is exactly the same as being a bigot. Do you?
Originally posted by SuzianneActually that is all about you stereotyping me and thinking falsely that because you have stereotyped me you can read my mind. I have said nothing in this thread 'because you are a Christian' and before you jump to the next obvious conclusion, I have said nothing 'because you are a woman'.
I have never ever had any interaction with you where you've given me any credit for being a rational human being. Why? Because again, you're letting the fact that I am a Christian, and your stereotypes of Christians, get in your way. We're not all whatever it is that you think of when you think of Christians. But you sure act like we are.
Originally posted by whodeyMaybe some people are bigots who assume far too many things about people they do not know, just because they belong to a certain religion.
Maybe some people just don't want to date someone that thinks that someone like Mo that has the horrific human rights history he has and equally hateful rhetoric he spewed, is a perfect and upright man of God.
Originally posted by twhiteheadOkay, have it your way. I'm bigoted against Republicans.
Bigot: A person who is intolerant of those holding different opinions.

You said "...like most people who depend on stereotypes, you don't let any facts get in the way of the stereotype"... does this apply to yourself?
Originally posted by twhiteheadI've read a rather large number of your posts in this forum, and I've seen your bias against Christians many times. You know what they say about something if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's probably a duck. I find it hard to believe that anyone would say some of the things you've said in this forum if they had no bias against Christians. I'm usually surprised when I read your posts in the Debates forum, because I generally agree with them, and I see that you're capable of writing opinions about other people without bias. And then you come to the Spirituality forum and then things subtly change here when you speak about Christians.
Actually that is all about you stereotyping me and thinking falsely that because you have stereotyped me you can read my mind. I have said nothing in this thread 'because you are a Christian' and before you jump to the next obvious conclusion, I have said nothing 'because you are a woman'.
I will give you credit for being a rational human being when you ...[text shortened]... my posts very carefully and are responding in anger to something you thought I said, but didn't.
Originally posted by wolfgang59Offering stereotypes about a large diverse group of people is unjustifiable in part because it doesn't "let any facts get in the way", as she put it, and it can therefore constitute disinformation, except in so far as it pertains to the nature of her bias. But anyway, in this instance it's moot as she has conceded that she's bigoted against Republicans.
Bigotry is having an opinion about a group of people which is unjustifiable.
