mmm?

[Shrike]

You made a thread and forgot the contents.

[Carl]

I think that is the content.

[Fineus]

He has five minutes to post it, or else I'm exercising my divine powers.

Bigotry ends with humanity. Luckily I'm working on a cure for that problem.

[magatsu1]

It ends when this thread does.

[StratComm]

Shrike, what happened to your Avatar?  That's a little disturbing.

[Kazan]

the content is the question, the question is the title

[StratComm]

But what's it in reference to?

Kazan, have you forgotten how you got your current title?

[Kazan]

bigotry in general - want specifics? bigotry against homosexuals, bigotry against other races, bigotry against other countries, bigotry between different religions

when does it end?


--------------------
i got my current title by arguing a lot - against people who didn't understand the argument, or wouldn't listen to it

[Striker]

I agree. It's not just in the world, but right here at HLP. THere are quite a few people here and elsewhere that are just a little too big headed to know when to stop.

Isn't it great?

It's just that you're talking about such a wide range of human irrationality.  When will it end?  Only after the apocalipse.  As a species we are intolerant, by our very nature, of others who are by perception or reality different from us.  That's not to say that an individual can put that behind him and actually break out from those tendencies.  Most humans can and probably never will be able to break through that boundary.

And you got your title, if memory serves, for posting a bunch of really off-the-wall topics, not because they were hard to understand or anything, but simply because there was no apparent motivation for bringing up the subjects in the first place.  Much like this thread.

[Flipside]

Ah, but simply by posting a question like 'When does the Bigotry end?' could be defined as pre-judgement and bigotry by itself

Bigotry, Greed, Hatred, Fear are all vital to our survival, we may dislike them, but it is them and nothing else that has carried us this far. The thing is that we are at a stage where the strong-willed among us can choose to control those emotions, rather than let those emotions control them.

Bigotry ends when the following are dealt with harshly:

1. Horseradish

2. Mel Gibson movies

3. Pineapple on pizza

4. SUVs

5. People who brag about how they figured out The Sixth Sense twenty minutes into the movie.

[BlackDove]

Technically it doesn't, until a higher rate of consciousness in the human mind is achieved.

In short?

Not in our lifetime.

[übermetroid]

Never.

Bloody hell do I agree with you on those two.

Effectively, that's the same answer, as if I said "Tommorow".

Right?

[ionia23]

Bigotry will truly end when all races, genders, and ideals merge into something more common and uniform.  As long as we are able to recognize anything as "different than" with an attitude of trying to perceive 'it' as a threat or inferior bigotry will continue.

I'm surprised the started of this thread posted this, especially in light of his violent and haughty attitude twords the followers of any spiritual branch out there.  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

no pun intended.
