This is a proper thread about the unfortunate circumstances of being the nephew of a mass murdering, deranged dictator! A condition, I’m sure, many on these boards will empathise with. Please take your frivolous talk of delicious dark ale somewhere more appropriate. :-s

:lol: Oh! Saturdays really do sound like that even when you’re not drunk and on drugs. Another of life’s mysteries cleared up. Now, in the name of science – and I think there might be a Nobel prize in it – can someone leave their phone filming and shut it inside a fridge to see if the light goes off, please?

By the way, always nice to see a couple of young things enjoying a ride.

You cant have a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience of spiders?

You cant be unable to endure specified conditions or treatment of spiders?

You can, so if being homophobic means your a bigot, the same applies to people who suffer from Arachnophobia.

Emma, you yourself defined a bigot as a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others. Not or, and. Therefore you can be unfairly prejudiced towards spiders, squashing those that mean you no harm, pulling the legs off others because you mistakenly think they deserve it etc., but you can’t be bigoted about it since arachnids don’t have opinions of their own to be intolerant of and, according to your definition, a bigot needs to be both prejudiced and intolerant of another set of views.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Thanks to the person that PM’d them to me, saved me finding them… poor Stephen, his persecution complex will be heightened now. :lol:

:-s Sounds like you’ve your own little snidey PM system going. Either that or, of course, you’re the one with the persecution complex. Or is it one rule for you and one for everyone else?

As for the thread, I don’t think the bigotry of homophobia and arachnophobia can be compared since Emma defined a bigot as a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others. Arachnids don’t have opinions. Well, that Charlotte did but she was a quite exceptional web-spinner chapette.

Good on you for taking the time, Mr Belfast. I reckon it’s a good perspective that we don’t often get to hear. Worth chewing over.
