I'm attacking the bigots for their beliefs, nothing else.  I don't care if your black white or green, if you hate immigrants, you deserve my scorn.  Where's the bigotry in that?
Deeming all people who believe in secure boarders as racists is bigoted.

Not taking reasons for opposing opinions, or willfully disrespecting those opinions is bigoted.

Saying that all people who want secure boarders hate immigrants and deserve scorn is bigoted.

bigot - a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own

Votes:
1=1
2=2
3=3
4=4

Coincidence?

It makes a nice bell curve until you get to outlier 7.

I picked three, because three is nice. The pool ball 3 is red, it's the first prime odd number, it's just a nice number.

I even design DF forts in groups of three's.

To all you racists border security lovers out there, I just want to take a moment to pre-emptively gloat.  The history books are going to make you guys look like a bunch of turds in 100 years.  How do I know?  Because people just like you look like a bunch of turds in the history books of today.  Of course, your schools won't have any money for history books because you blew all your money on keeping the mexicans out.
This statement is more bigoted than the people/opinions you are attacking.

Also, Nikov, it's probably because you're incredibly hostile and come across as a troll most of the time.

It's not like they have any more ability to racially profile than before.

You have to show ID every time you get stopped anyway.

I am afraid of things damaging my eyes. I've got poor eyesight anyway, but I can still remember seeing clearly before I was 9. It is a genuine, all consuming fear.
I have perfect eyesight but I have an almost irrational fear of things being near my eyes.
I'm REALLY afraid of damaging my teeth. Not like, forgetting to brush my teeth, but like having them broken.
I have nightmares about losing teeth, during the day I'll get an image of my tooth being ripped to one side and biting down on it.

I don't like spiders, and my dog got killed by a spider and that didn't help.
I don't like heights either.

Any stereotypes on Switzerland?
Fun accents (:
I was going to say hot women, but I had my European geography mixed up. I was thinking of Sweden.

EDIT:: Also, the "They're stealing our jobs!" argument is stupid, and racist. Most jobs they do no one else wants, and that statement implies that they are different, and inferior to an American.

Are you serious? It's purely economic. Unemployment is high. This years graduates are competing for jobs with last years graduates, and middle aged men who have been laid off.

More unestablished people = more job competition = lower standard of living.

Mexicans were brought over to work on farms and such up through the 1920's because there was a need for labor, once the depression started, people wanted the boarder closed up. It's been that way ever since.

Please tell me how that's racist.
EDIT: and/or stupid.

I was skimming Legends in a world I generated and discovered the Forgotten Beast Saslu, a huge noseless ass with a poisonous bite.

Unless that was a typo for "donkey", I really don't want to think about where its teeth were located . . .
Nope, we're talking about a giant behind.

I struggle with an incredible lust for power.

It would kind of suck because you would never know if someone really loved you, or if they were afraid to act otherwise.

A difficult choice.
