No generalization is always true. That's why it's a generalization.
Generalizations are based on patterns of consistancy if for example you were to say that Christians follow Christ that would make it a true statement even some don't always do it.

Christ is apart of Christianity. Hence why His name is in the word. You must believe Christ is God to be a Christian in the same way you have to go to law school to become a lawyer.

However the only clarifying term that is true among all liberals is A) liberals stand for equality and B) liberals desire/enjoy change.

A generalization is an assumption that everyone among a group of people is the same as one or two people. A generalization is hardly a fact and it's generalization that fuels most inequality we have in the United States.

But I can understand why we disagree since as I am a liberal I don't believe assuming or generalization is ever necessary or fair.

Because I don't want FathersDaughter to be afraid we now replace this post with bagpipe jokes:

Bagpipes-(noun)-I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when
he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm.
Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound
achieved by the pig.
-Alfred Hitchcock

pipes ring out.

Finally fifty men have fallen, and the chieftain says to the piper, "For
heaven's sake, can you not play something they like?"

I don't understand why generalizations fuel inequality, but that's nice. Since you are a liberal you believe in relativism and cheery picking the bible, it's ALL GOOD.

I suppose you could create a tread that gathered all the FAQ's of this specific board. I am new to these forums so I suppose that would help me see what kind of ground everyone has been covering, but I'm sure just as many complex issues, there isn't a simple Question: and then their isn't a simple Answer to that question. And everything is debatable, which is essentially the essence of this board, but an FAQ could be interesting to refer to.
