Pretty much all my posts you've seen are sports related (which I admit I'm opinionated about as I'm more passionate about it) because A) this is a sports forum and B ) I try to avoid internet political debates. But thanks for jumping to assumptions when you have little to no knowledge of where I stand politically.

 

Kreed, people claim to be open minded all the time.  It doesn't mean anything.  How people say things tips the hat to where they stand on being open minded and biases they hold.  People don't have to make an overtly political statement for someone to figure it out.  And, of course, this equally applies to me as well.

At the end of the day you're making an assumption and assuming it to be fact. No ifs, ands, or buts.

 

Anyways this has gone completely off topic. I won't be making any further replies. Enjoy your holidays.

Correct.  Such as, liberals using and creating labels such as hater, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, etc., to describe anyone with a more conservative position on an issues.  

 

Yet, they are persistent in their pleas for understanding and tolerance of their own beliefs.

Annnnd Liberal is a label you conservatives use to describe anyone who has a more moderate, less conservative, view of yours.  

 

But no you missed my point.  Bigotry, Homophobia, xenophobia are actual things, that have actual definitions.  If your actions meet the criteria for the definition, you are...by definition...can be described as acting as such.

There's a difference I don't care to explain, because you don't care.  So I don't care to waste my time.

I really don't have much interest in this topic but I find this discussion quite rich given the first sentence in the topic

For the record, I was not the one who devolved it into politics.

This discussion is still happening? I had no idea. I've been having such a hard time accessing this site and many other since they overturned Net Neutrality. I'm also going broke due to the amount I have to shell out each time I even want to view a news website or simply use my internet.

 

Oh wait...
