You know.. all those, 'women/men only want...' or 'why do all guys/girls do...'
Let's list a bunch, then rip into 'em. | |

(don't have to) Blondes have more fun. ( let's analyze "fun") Children should be seen and not heard. (they are our future, don't stifle them) Scarlett | |

Now, I know there are some dumb blonds...but there are also dumb redheads, brunettes, etc. | |

Being one of those nice guys I really don't mind if people promote that generalization. We know it's not really the nice guys but the wussies pretending to be nice guys that really finish last. As for the players if they want to finish first that's fine with me. There are things in life such as relationships that I would rather take my time at and finish best over first | |

I've had great things happen to me from smoking. Met many good friends from them coming up to me going, "Hey man, can I bum a smoke". | |

I'd say the one that bugs me the most is is that all white people are racist or stupid.
My other favourite one is about "immigrants". Uh, most of us are technically immigrants ;)
Oh, women and men?
Girls are emotionally volatile and unable to control their feelings, while men are cold hearted buggers who want nothing but to drink beer, watch football and get layed.

I hate the immigration one. That we're a nation of immigrants. I'm not an immigrant. Neither is my father, mother or grandparents and great grandparents on both sides. 98% of my friends aren't immigrants, and neither are their parents and grandparents. Somewhere up the line my family immigrated from Europe, so I am decended from a pair of immigrants, but I am not one. Nor is the current majority of America. I didn't think Canada had alot of immigrants.
My favorite one:Only smart people wear glasses. I do some pretty dumb things sometimes, and although I can do some really brilliant things, I've met people smarter than me who don't wear glasses. | |

| Please post your favorite generalization... Posted: 5/22/2006 7:50:30 PM | | Blondes have more fun is by far the one that pisses me off the most cos I think it is ridiculous there are ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE who can have fun why in the world would u limit it to only one kind of haircolor?! It just amazes me sometimes how moronic people can be lol but then again I definitely give too much credit to people sometimes also...but ya also people outta know some "blondes" are by far the worst looking people I've ever seen so to just have that hair color does not immediately mean "person who is having fun" lmao oh man heck no lol... | |

Hey, if a person moves here from Australia and goes through the "immigration" process, they're considered an immigrant. If a family did the same 200 years ago, then how is it not the same?
I don't buy the argument for one reason. We're all citizens of the Earth (well, that we know of I guess..). | |

I have to agree with indicalover. Yes there are a lot of immigrants so you could say we are a nation of immigrants but anyone born in a country is not an immigrant but a native. If your parents are immigrants then you are a native born to immigrant parents. So no, we are not all immigrants.
The one I hate is that we must be PC and not face certain facts lest someone might be offended. ( No specific target here so don't anyone start throwin' things )
