i used to be a bigot and an asshole.

i think im starting to understand you.

while i will never fully understand you, i will fight for your right to be yourselves.

Well, thank you.

The comment and compliment are mutual. I believe it was Voltaire who said something like that once?

All of us are bigots and assholes once in a while. When it gets to be habitual, then that is the time to do something about it.

I can't ask for anything more. Thank you for being civil, for it's all too rare online - especially on such a charged topic.

Civility indeed!

The world should be big enough to hold all sorts, even us, with tolerance.

Do even we understand us? Probably not completely.

-But thank you. We do enjoy being who we are.

Being an asshole isn't always a bad thing. A good friend and I high five each other when his wife says we're a couple real assholes.

But bigotry's hilarious. I've been given many hours of laughter by Zyklon Ben Garrison's racist and antisemitic cartoons.

society owes you a lot. while we all have issues, you've found a way to deal with them without directly or indirectly affecting others. while the majority of us did the opposite.

take my alcoholism as an example, it is socially acceptable even though it is more harmful to society.

so again thank you.
