It is not bigotry to sanction bigots -- bigots choose to be in their group. That groups paints broad groups of people based on natural characteristics. No one chooses their ethnicity, their disabilities. People choose to be bigots, willfully ignorant or just plain jerks, I have absolutely no time for them and I wish the ill -- but I am not a bigot.

Is it bigoted to hate bigots different amounts based upon their bigotry? If there was:
1. a person who is racist
2. a person who hates disabled people
3. a person who is sexist
would you hate all 3 equally?
If not are you a bigot?

You literally have to walk a mile, right past 20 open handicapped parking spaces.
There is something wrong with this
If handicapped people want to be treated equally, then they should cover the same amount of distance as me to get to the front friggin door.
This really pi$$es me off.......
