You should have included something about what region of the country people are from, to see how many Northerners would admit they're prejudiced against Southerners.


Yep that option should be on here because I could then give a real answer.

Better to discriminate indiscriminately than to discriminate about who you discriminate against.

Actually, I don't mind sexuality per se... I'm in favour of civil unions for lesbians and gays but not marriage.

Odd position for a strong atheist (as I recall you being). I can see the logical consistency in disapproving entirely on nationalist grounds: more breeding, more babies, better country, some nationalist rhetoric like that. Or the logical consistency in not opposing same-sex marriage from the belief that religion shouldn't play any role. But civil unions while opposing marriage is a position fraught with contradiction in strong atheism.

Yes...and I know a lot of nices of all religions though. Its just that some religions make me uncomfortable...namely Abrahiac Fundamentalists, Athiests, Pegans, Mormons and Muslims. Though the entire polygamy thing kinda sorta appeals to me...

...and because political party, obviously...someone is trying to create policies that would ruin your life and you are doing the same thing with them.

Income? Ah. People are resentful of people who are poor and waste their money or are rich and seem to not really deserve it.

Not going to hide the poll:

Religion, sometimes political party

I would never under any circumstances hate someone on the basis of race as they can't control that

Other
I have a negative opinion of the idiot demographic. Tongue

More seriously, I have a negative opinion of radical protesters (other category again), regardless of whether I agree with them or not. Namely, violent Iraq war protesters, the more radical of the health care protesters. They have every right to protest, but there are more constructive ways to show your opposition. That man in Montana who asked Obama how he would pay for the health care is a good example.

I get mad at other groups sometimes, but I realize that they have a justifiable reason to believe what they do (except scientologists obviously). For example, I dislike liberals, but I respect them because I can understand why they feel the way they do (on economics, on other issues I do agree with them).

Not picky. Maybe political party. But usually I try to avoid that subject since people get heated about it. and mean people.

Well, I am more of a clasist than a racist. For example middle class blacks and jews tend to be ok but we could do without ghetto blacks and wealthy jews. there are low class whites and elitist whites as well but they are not quite as bad. I would never hate someone purely because of their race.

Found one of those, too.

How is hating a black low class person more than a white one not hating them purely because of their race?

PS - Jews are white.  Eek!

Right, my point was poorly structured, but that proves it even better.  "Jew" isn't a race.

By the way Stark, deleting your posts doesn't work so well when they're quoted.  Dumbass.

Judaism is a religion.  My ancestors were Jewish, but I'm not.  That's it.  I'm not part Jewish because my ancestors were.

No, I'm not.  The only way to be any bit Jewish is to believe in Judaism.  There is no nation of Jew, there is no ethnic group of Jew, just a religion.  My Jewish ancestors were from Germany and Russia, not this mysterious Jew-land where people's religions become an ethnicity.
