re: #179 windsagio

That kind of wasnt’ my point :p My point was that bad experiences don’t justify generalizations like that.

Him saying ‘arab cculture is uncivilized’ is the same as me saying ‘cop culture is brutal and abusive’.

We both have reasons for coming to those conclusions, but none of those reasons are fair to the cops (or arabs, or egyptians, or iranians) that live/work in those cultures but aren’t part of that problem.

There is a difference from saying that the cultural norms that prevail are uncivilized and saying that every memeber of that group agrees with them. Why si such a simple logical distinction impossile for you to make? Clearly I don’t think that all agree with them./ However, it is stupid to deny what the norm is.

Take the American South in the 1920’s for example. Are you going to say that it was not, in general, racist?

Did that mean that all Southerners were like that?

Does the fact that some Southerners went against the norm, make the reality of the norm less real?

Why is basic logic so difficult for you?
