I think there is far too much generalising going on in the world!

Hahaha! Yep, I finally did this post.

Those that know me, will have seen so many of replies to posts where I tear at generalisations (also can be spelled with a Z)

So… what thing do we each feel are far too often generalised about?

which is ironic, because the guy who posted this is named dougie the pisces ;]

i would have to say…that people think a persons character is dependable on who they hang out with

i have friends in many different groups. i wouldnt have it any other way.

the only thing a persons friends says about them is the type of people they want to surround themselves with.

Well Cali, the site wouldn’t let me be Dougie, so I added the Pisces on the end.
Also I thought it might attract new age interest ;)

No I’m not.
I said ‘I think’ there is too much generalisation. That is an opinion.
I did not pass it off as if it was fact.

That depends on your definition of being out of line.
Jestivities aside…. I think the world is out of line, not me ;)
Ha… generalised :D

Now that I think of it, I think everyone is made equally, but the true difference is that each gender’s body is made differently to do certain things. It’s the only major difference I can think of.

Generalization yields mediocrity.
