<<You have to stop completely stereotyping people.>>

Sam I am not stereotyping anyone. I am generalizing. Generalization is a valid statistical function.

E.g. different populations.

I am the first to admit we are all a unique collage of ideas and sanity. I know brilliant wonderful people who are very religious, and atheists who are nuts. Still there are populations who mostly agree on things.

So patterns, IMO, are important to recognize. It is what kept us safe from the lions :>).

They're assholes and idiots. I don't know why you even bother to check what they're saying. Just say to yourself, "What's the stupidest, angriest, most idiotic thing someone could believe about this?" Your answer to that question will be similar to what they're thinking- and has the benefit of not requiring you to wade in to their mental swamp to find out what they're doing there. win win
