| | ::::Sorry, maybe I missed something, why was the violence against abortion clinics removed as an example with the reason "The evidence being compiled is ample" only to be replaced with another example. If it was deleted on accident, then let me know and Ill put it back in. Also, I might just be naive, but isn't saying all members of a single group are bigots, in fact, also bigotry? The only defining characteristic of Atheists is that they don't believe in God. Some of them may be bigots, but so are some Christians, Jews, and pagans. Using an atheist who is claiming "all religious people should be locked up" is a good example of bigotry. Saying all atheists are like that is wrong. If I am correct, then the into should be changed since it is attributing bigotry to all members of the listed groups. --[[User:ScottA|ScottA]] 18:35, 13 November 2008 (EST) | | ::::Sorry, maybe I missed something, why was the violence against abortion clinics removed as an example with the reason "The evidence being compiled is ample" only to be replaced with another example.

| | ::::What I meant, Ed, was that he is trying to use exampes of bigotry to prove that all (or most) liberals are bigotted. It can't be done, unless he gives an example from all (or most) liberals. I don't know how many times I have said this across this wiki, but nobody seems to understand this point.

| | + | :::::You don't seem to understand the basis of statistics and representative data. It is utterly impossible to survey the entirety of a population in ''any study''. Instead, we have to rely on representative examples, the broader the better. This establishes an underlying culture and shared values. [[User:RodWeathers|RodWeathers]] 19:55, 13 November 2008 (EST) |
