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.

Of course you understood it. It's retarted.

And why would I waste my time refuting this irrelevant, stupid analogy when the person who came up with it is too dense to realize his own idiocy, not to mention the stupidity of the conceit. Besides, doing so would only lead the discussion further off topic, which would facilitate his side of the argument, for any real debate which remains on topic and rational can only lead to my being correct.

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.

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.

Christians should.

Someone symultaneously spreading presents across the world is just as absurd as someone hearing millions of murmurs at the same time.

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 told you the difference of a generalization and stereotypes. Read my marbles post.

Ya, joke's already been used, torn up, tossed out. And not sure what you mean by "murmurs",?

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