Well, here is where we disagree. Bluntly bigoted statements have no place or
merit anywhere. Suggesting that an entire people can not read and live in
boxes has no merit for a discussion. It was meant to belittle and insult an
entire country and people. Bigotry only serves to help the self image of
weak minded people who need to feel superior to feel better about
themselves. Bigotry inspires violence and hate. Bigotry also spreads like
the cancer that it is.

I ask you, with the World in the state that it is in, do really need more
violence and bigotry?

We should be encouraging an honest dialog with the goal of understanding and
not trying to cause a larger divide.
