    It doesn't seem worth arguing with you, although it is fun, because your narrow mind can't accept anything besides what your reverend says.

    You have two piles of marbles. Lots of marbles. Pile one pile is blue. The other pile is white with little pretty pink poka-dots.

    Now in the first pile, the one with the blue marbles, there are several stragglers. You find a couple white-with-poka-dots marbles in the large cluster of blue marbles. And in the second pile, the one with the white, poka dotted marbles, there might be a good amount of blue marbles.

    Would it still be fair to say, even with the odd marbles in each group, that generally pile one is blue and pile 2 is white with poka dots? Yes it would. You call me a racist for saying every marble in pile one is blue, or that every marble in pile two is whit with poka dots, but that is wrong.

    You say that "generally" and "stereotyping" are the same, but that is wrong. Generalizing is what I just did with the marbles. Stereotyping is saying that in pile one, they are ALL blue marbles, even the marbles that are clearly white with polka dots. It is like saying in pile two that they are all white with poka dots, even the ones that are clearly blue.

    I get all of what I know right now from books, and if beleiving the bible makes me narrow minded, I guess I'm narrow minded.

    How am I the only other person who understood this...it's pretty clear what he was trying to say.

    You have made many topics that don't have to do with the original post. In fact, my long post(the one you won't argue with) only came from the result of something you said that did not have to do with the original post.

    Since you so desperately cling to your hope that you may someday outwit me in any way, I will waste my time delineating to you exactly why you are dumb.

    First of all, your assertion that to stereotype is to say ALL individuals exhibit some trait or behavior is wrong. To stereotype is to make an assumption based on a GENERALIZATION, and does not necessarily imply all individuals demonstrate these traits. Essentially, generalizing equals stereotyping. Don't act like your not making a generalization. If you want to prove the generalization you are making is correct, feel free to start up a new thread to do so because you may be right. My point is, you can't use this generalization as a basis for argument. Next, your marble analogy is not only an irrelevant, fallicious comparison, but is also just plain stupid. If you want to talk about marbles, why don't you go out to the playground for a while and let the grown-ups have an adult conversation.

    Now that you have sufficiently wasted my time, let's use our brains so that we can prevent this kind of pointless explanation in the future.

    His analogy of the marbles was a good one. Telling him to "go to the playground" is taking the analogy out of context. Generalizing is like saying "most people in this room are wearing suits" whereas stereotyping would be to say "people in that room wear suits" (when not all of them do).

    But anyways...back on topic.

    No, you are wrong. Read what I wrote.

    And I wasn't taking the analogy anywhere, you moron. It was just a belittling comment.

    I read it, but it is hard to follow anything you write due to the "belittling" interjections thrown in everywhere. You should really concentrate more on emphasising your points versus just degrading people.

    I read back to page 22. I didn't miss anything. I was soley arguing what is sterotypical and what is generalization, nothing more. But I don't believe that all people brought up in poor neighborhoods are all dumb. The average IQ may be lower, but that is what you SHOULD expect out of someone who may have grown up with barely any food, and a single mother who could not take care of them. Many people do prevail out of such situations though.

    Stereotyping and generalizing are essentially the same concept. Stop being retarded. I don't know what definition of a stereotype you have read, but the differences between a stereotype and a generalization are miniscule.
    Regardless, whether you are stereotyping or generalizing, you are making a broad assumption about a group of people. Why debate this?

    Considering your asinine decision to join this argument for the sole purpose of asserting your position on the nonexistant discrepancies between the words stereotype and generalize, I have concluded you are yet another weak-minded individual who is unaware of his own stupidity.

    I never took anything you said out of context, so either you don't understand the meaning of this fallacy, or you just ignorantly used it as a desperate attempt at argument. No, what you said was not out of place--but, as I stated, you decided it would be a good idea to expand upon this stupid side rant which I had no intention of continuing, but because of the insistence of you morons that I debate that pathetic marble analogy was forced to do so. Now please, stop being stupid and say something relevant to the topic of the thread.

    ARE YOU STUPID? Your explained difference between generalizations and stereotypes is completely incorrect. You are incredibly dense.

    I'm sorry to break this to you, but there's probably no such thing as god. The higher a person's religiosity, the lower their IQ. Creationism/Intelligent Design is retarted. I am vastly smarter than you.

    I think that covers the basics.

    7.to make general inferences.
