Merriam-Webster "BIGOT: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance."
"Anything "bad" done by religious people is presented as evidence of religion being bad in general - whether or not non-religious people do the same thing (e.g. rioting)."
Have you ever heard a religious/conservative person in the US say anything good about atheism/socialism/communism/etc.? E.g. the religious keep pointing out what Stalin/Mao/etc. did as an example of why atheists are bad. Why can't Dawkins do the same?

"No, you are simply wrong about factual history." Hearing that from you is hilarious. It's funny how the more clueless someone is, the more confident he/she is:)
Millions were killed or died in USSR not b/c of their religion, but b/c of their social/political views (or what the government thought were their political views). The government actively discouraged and hindered religion/religious, but it never had an official policy to kill the religious.
yeah, great, thanks for the tip. but to measure that distance by walking, you would first need to get to the polling place to walk 100 feet AWAY from it.

"People under 30 know how to reinstall their OS and clean malware for the most part..." Source? Personal experience? That's hardly relevant. Cause mine is completely different: 90% of the people I know aren't capable of that irregardless of age (sample size: ~400). I know some who couldn't clean up their computers properly if their life depended on it (late 20s - mid 30's, senior/lead software developers).

Do they (NBC, CBS, ABC) do it at the same level/rate as FOX? If you don't see the difference, your reality distortion field is very strong and I envy you.
"Flying with Qatar it's even possible to make the whole journey without seeing an economy class passenger." Well, that's what so called "middle class" has to live with - seeing their poor brethren up close. No difference if you ask me - the same schmucks - some just with little more money than the others. Normal people just fly their own planes.

Yes, your Highness, they are smug indeed.
That's a huge oversight! Terrorists can hijack those planes too and fly them into something! I say the TSA should check those passengers too! Just imagine what they can load on the planes when no one's looking!!! Will someone think of the children?!
Just checked - the cheapest is $358. Who says you absolutely have to bring two bags? And if IIRC you can bring drinks on board as long as you bought them at the airport.

Hell, even Russia allowed full access to international observers during the latest president(-for-life) elections.

PS. Either way, seek professional help please.

we can always rely on the Swedish to spice up Li... anything...

How about Ctrl-Alt-T?

"I can write a 50 page essay on this..."
You can write essays all right. Too bad the writing and logic aren't coherent.
PS. Most of the flaming "capitalists", "libertarians" and the like that I've met were born in the USSR. Oh, the irony...

Ermm... For instance..?
"You didn't know that Russian Diamonds are almost all radioactive, did you?"
You didn't know that everything that existed was radioactive, did you?
Just curious. Which did you get first: the kids or the nickname? :)
