  This has nothing to do with the lottery, everything to do with a certain individuals attitudes.There are some individuals on this forum who use the term "BIGOT", very loosely when they don't agree or choose to ignore another posters' opinion. There is an older Black man living in the assisted living facility, my wife and I live in. This morning after breakfast, this individual stood up an asked if someone would  please take me to the toilet? I stood up and helped him to the toilet and back. Do you believe a bigot would do this?

  If someone is accused of bigotry then the accusing party must also be intolerant of the accused persons intolerance; therefore, it is self evident that the term bigot in a sense, can not actually exist in a free society or open debate because of it's self-destructive, self-imploding and hypocritical nature.

  I don't think you're a bigot CarBob. You seem like a pretty nice guy.

  Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

  Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

  By your post it looks like someone implied you were a bigot.  Way too many ****** out there want everyone to think like them.  They're the intolerant ones.  Don't let it bother you.

  Never give up.

  The only thing that keeps me up at night is you driving to my residence.  If you know what I mean.  LOL

        I wouldn't say that you're a bigot Carbob - you're quite the "nice guy" in my book and helpful too, if I might add.  Anyways, I looked up the meaning of 'bigot' and it refers to a prejudiced person (i.e. one who pre-judges others) who is intolerant of the opinions of others, or of other persons holding different opinions - something to that effect. 

        Therefore, the only way you could be bigoted in this instance, in helping the blind man to the bathroom, is if you were intolerant of that blind man's opinion.  Don't look like no bigotry was going on there, no Siree, not at all! 

  Success is liking yourself, what you do and how you do it!
