I feel that you shouldn't lump all generalizations into the same category.
I meant specifically the negative generalizations.
ohh? I dislike many generalizations that are "positive" as well, they are equally sloppy and error prone.
And I think my deadpan delivery made the joke soar right past your head.
Sometimes people use them to be offensive or to flame/bait/troll. There are other times in debate when generalization is warranted.
Those are what I'm talking about, the "negative generalizations"
There are a lot of generalizations here on DP, and generally in politics. Common ones are, "liberals hate (insert constitutional right/upper tax bracket)" or "conservatives hate (insert minority/equality)".
Whenever I see one, I tend to get pissed, because its sheer ignorance, stupidity, and in my opinion, quite frequently nothing more than derogatory.
How do you guys feel about this crap?
EDIT: This is public, don't be a hypocrit and vote you hate them, and then use them.

On the flip side I hate it when people generalize things like legal and illegal immigration and just say "immigrant/s". Or when someone says that whites/blacks are racist. Not everyone is racist despite what some people here like to claim. (and I would challenge anyone to prove that I am racist in another thread if you think that I am lying) And yes I hate it when people generalize republicans/democrats etc etc.
Dumbest generalizations:
1) Republicans are racist (or hate Obama because he's black)
2) Liberals hate the military
3) Conservatives love the military more than liberals
4) Conservatives just love to bow down to the corporate God; corporations and businesses are evil.
5) Liberals hate America/want it to be weak
6) Liberals love terrorists more than they love America.
7) Unions are the root of all evil.
Anyone else care to add...
