As you almost certainly know, the people I feel the most contempt for are *bigots.*

I have to agree with that --- especially the bigots who demonstrate over and over and over that they haven't got a clue what they are going on about but they don't let that stop them. In my opinion there is a difference between bigotry, which is just an ignorant and uninformed set of assumptions about entire groups of people, and dislike based on ample evidence that certain people or groups are willfully stupid and/or hateful and, thus, not worth wasting time on.

If I had to choose something to be contemptuous of I'd pick those who are content in their lack of knowledge and resentful of those who are not. I also have no use for people who are intolerant of those who engage in a way of life different from their own but that is usually more based in fear and feeling threatened.

I'm also pretty fed-up with pinheads who keep harping on the same damn stuff year after year after year. If you are determined to be an ignorant nitwit, could you at least get new material? Just because you're stupid doesn't mean you have to be a bore, too.

Pretty much right on the money, Gypsy.

I do find the penchant for slimeballs to attempt to paint others with their very own tar rather amusing, don't you? It's like they have some undeniable urge to accuse their moral superiors with their own moral failings.
