Why do all Americans generalize so much?

    That was a joke. Trying to be funny by being hypocritical. If my Aunt Eleanor was still alive she'd say, "Poor dear. He's trying to be funny again."

    It's a historic thing. Their first president was "Generalizer" George Washington.

    Right now we have general chaos and are working on general mayheim. Wouldn't surprise me if by the end of next year we have general anarchy.......generally speaking, of coarse.

      JEEZ Kurt - there's no cause for resorting to fear mongering over it.

      Remember that some of us live right across the border from all of them.

        You have to watch out for Canadians. We may appear friendly and polite on the outside, and that is very suspicious. Always tread carefully around someone who is overly polite 'cause it means something is just not right. Do you act more polite around the police? I rest my case.

          Which Americans? North Americans form CANADA USA, etc. Central Americans? Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, etc? South Americans? Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, etc.?

          Or did you generalize that all Americans come just from the U.S.?

          um....no. Actually I don't. But as long as not all Canadians aren't just like you, I'm no longer scared witless.

            Oh. Surprisingly, I'm not representative of Canadians. I'm not even representative of myself, much of the time.

      No, I certainly can't. That would require logical thinking and applying the same standards to myself as I do to others. Doing so would be abnormal in human behavior.

        Oh yeah, and THAT always stops people from doing and saying stuff in this forum.

        You mean the Gen. in charge of exploiting Afghanistan's natural resources.

          Much unlike USaid, right? LMAO. We've been setting up to use their resources for a few decades. I've corresponded with Gary Bowersox (a.k.a. the Gem Hunter) personally about the mining "industry", USaid funding for the mining schools, and a found out a few very interesting little facts on that one.

          Now THEY are all the same. No generalization needed.

    Because when speaking "generally" I can canvas such a large amount of things with just one sentence. It's a lot of fun really. You should try it sometime, and of course, always precede your statement with a "generally speaking!"

    You see were a mixing pot of various cultures, races, and ideals. I couldn't possibly go into so much detail that I covered each nuance--thus I generally speak to a general public about general things they may or may not understand.

    Still with me?
