Thanx Jim. I wouldn't have cared one way or the other if I wasn't personally attacked
BTW, one from all 3 of your definitions, I may be considered prejudiced:
1)... having "an adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts" ...
I do believe that i have already formed an opnion on all terrorists, whether they be muslim, irish, right-to-lifers, et al. You tell me there is a person that is a terrorist (killer of innocents), I'm against him/her.
2) ... or "the state of holding unreasonable preconceived judgments or convictions" ...
Since unreasonable is a relative word, it could certainly apply to me. Of course the preconceived part is coverd in 1) above.
3) ... or "irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group ...."
Again, irrational is a relative word. I do suspect and hate terrorists.
From what I wrote above, some would consider me a prejudiced person. Of course no one would consider Don prejudiced (at least against terrorists, make that muslim terrorists).
