9 of 10. Missed the pope one which technically the pope didn't call it terrible.

They might be your opinions, and you're entitled to them, but if they infringe on the rights and humanity of other people, others have every right to be intolerant of them.

How is it possible that you both got this wrong?
Bigotry implies intolerance of people, not ideas or opinions. People are deserving of respect and dignity. Ideas and opinions aren't. Intolerance of an idea is essentially disagreement - to be encouraged. Your opinions are not entitled to any status or respect if they're ill founded.
Moreover, opinions cannot "infringe on the rights of people" - only actions can.

While likely it was a technical glitch--it still seems a bit disconcerting.

Alas, politics junkies, news editors and anyone else who was watching the broadcast online did not learn how that sentence ended. Ms. Waters was cut off. Instead, they heard the jangling music of a feed from RT, a state-run Russian television network that has been accused of helping its government interfere in the American election.

The ski-thru ATM at Whistler one was the easiest. Whistler found a new way to make it easier for people to spend all of their money at Whistler? Of course that's true.

Not much of a stretch here, bigotry is the intolerance of people based on their beliefs or opinions.
Opinions can't infringe on rights, but they're obviously referring to opinions that actions which do are acceptable.

Bigotry is intolerance of people based on their inherent qualities, like race or sexual orientation, not their beliefs or opinions. Granted, there's a bit of a grey area here for religious bigotry, but you aren't a bigot if you don't like Oilers Fans because they're Oilers Fans.

So, apparently the CBC is looking for anybody who has dealt with Guiliani's so-called cybersecurity firm.

Quote:
'I've never heard of it'
Cybersecurity companies often demonstrate their expertise by publishing research and reports on new and emerging threats, appearing at conferences, providing expert commentary to media, and participating in legal and policy discussions on security matters.
But for 13 years, Giuliani Partners and its subsidiary, Giuliani Security and Safety, has remained all but silent on cybersecurity — to the extent that many in the industry were unaware of the firm's existence.

Not exactly, unless you're including deeply held ideas and beliefs into that. You're ignoring one very real part of bigotry just because someone distorted that part (I agree, "opinions" is weak, but it's incredibly easy see how that conclusion was drawn, it's not outright wrong, it's just a distortion). You're not wrong either, you just have an incomplete definition.
I don't know why you think religion is a grey area, religious bigotry is one of the most cited types, and a very real form of bigotry.

Wow, hard to believe that this thread is being derailed by yet another Corsi semantics argument. Move on Pep, you'll never win and the more you make him chase his tail the worse he gets.

Great Americans Day lol. But you know the same people that love Great Americans Day instead of MLK day would have the most apocalyptic meltdown if you called Easter "Chocolate Bunny Day" or Christmas "Fat Man Brings Consumerism Day".
