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?

Astrology, like what people of your sign are like.

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.

I think there is too much political correctness. We live in a globalized and interconnected world. One in which you encounter every belief and person different to you on a daily basis. It’s natural that you’re going to run into some conflict. Recently, so much of the emphasis has been on being politically correct, saying nothing to offend a specific group. However, that has been ignored a lot for specific minorities, and it also fails when a person is a minority at a certain site. So instead of focusing on not offending anyone, which has failed and pretty much shuts down communication, let’s focus on getting people to leave alone people who express a wish to be left alone, and actually enforce it. Thank you.
