Your generalizations will lead to believers being the next group hunted. There are believers who are a problem, but that does not mean that all religious types are nut cases.
If by hunted you mean questioned, you are correct. Beaten? Not even a possibility. Not all believers are nut cases, but they all plead the case that the nuts are somewhat right.
A while ago I played a little bit on FICS and I found some of the
language used by players to be disturbing. A small fraction was
very racist and a much larger fraction was very anti-US.
Then again I think chess drives some people nuts. ie Bobby Fischer.
When I saw Murray in The
Razor's Edge is when I realized he could act. Even better than
Robin Williams, who's acting always seems to still contain just a
little bit or Mork.
I once had a heated discussion with my future brother in-law on affirmative action. My argument was that affirmative action was racist. No, NO, NO bro-in-law kept repeating, that's not possible. We went around and around in circles until I realized his definition of racism was different than mine.
According to his definition only the suppressors can be racist. The have-nots, the suppressed, can never be racist, bigots yes, but NEVER racist.
I tried to explain that my meaning of racist was one race showing prejudice against members of another race based strictly on race, not on culture or wealth, but strictly on race.
He explained to me that in any academic setting he'd ever been in (he has his masters in social work) racism was, by definition, the practice of the suppressors acting against the suppressed. By that definition if you're a member of race that is seen as suppressed, even if you're the CEO of a fortune 500 company, you can never be racist. You get a free pass, you can never be labeled a racist.
How can you have an intelligent conversation when you're speaking two different languages? It seems to me that some people are teaching a different definition of a perfectly good word to further their own political agenda.
[Following definitions edited to avoid the evil lameness filter!]
From WordNet 1.7:
racism
n 1: the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races
2: discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary:
Bigot n.
1. A hypocrite; esp., a superstitious hypocrite. [Obs.]
2. A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended sense, a person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his own, as in politics or morals; one obstinately and blindly devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion.
From Jargon File
bigot n. [common] A person who is religiously attached to a particular computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see {religious issues}). Usually found with a specifier; thus, `Cray bigot', `ITS bigot', `APL bigot', `VMS bigot', `Berkeley bigot'. Real bigots can be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or technology is threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly said "You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare {weenie},
{Amiga Persecution Complex}.
From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
BIGOT, n. One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.

I have downloaded a newer kernel to add ext3 support I just haven't gotten around to compiling and installing.
From the kernel-package docs:
For the Brave and the impatient: Phase ONE: Getting and configuring the kernel
1% cd
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure Phase TWO: Create a portable kernel image.deb file
3% make-kpkg clean
4% $Get_Root make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
(Get_Root is whatever you need to become root -- fakeroot or
sudo are examples that come to mind). NOTE: if you have
instructed your boot loader to expect initrd kernels (which is
the norm for recent official kernel image packages) you need to
addd --initrd to the line above
% $Get_Root make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
Personally, I prefer non initrd images for my personal machines,
since then adding third party modules to the machine has fewere
gotchas Phase THREE: Install the kernel image on one or more machines
5# dpkg -i../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_.deb
6# shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO/SILO/QUIK/PALO/VMELILO/ZIPL/yaboot/..
# worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
With the addition of fakeroot ( a really nice program, I recommend
it). Steps 1 to 4 can be carried out as a non root user. Step 5 does
require root privileges.
I started reading Stephen King's E-Book "the plant" . I'm not exactly sure why but he took it out of the sun and let it dry up and die.
King was distributing this short novel online for a buck a download. I paid for 2 installments (through Amazon) and now I'm stranded with no ending in sight.

I disagree with both of you.
They all claim to be peaceful
Not all of them.

I've installed these.
One customer's house is being rented. The renter called me with a problem.
He couldn't shut it off!
It took a little bit of explaining and even some pointing to the R2D2 looking dome on the roof.
Why not run this
with mythtv or freevo?
Not that I've done it myself yet.

Yeah mickey mouse had one like that, what was his name... ...it's on the tip of my tongue...
