Blanket generalizations are easiest Eric. They don't require any thinking.

Saying homosexuals aren't weak minded is a blanket generalization too...just saying.

So, you take mythical elements and equate them to a whole idea. I could assign to all conservatives the appalling state of veteran's benefits in this country, or the desire to attack Iran, or any other of a number of things. I supposed I lack the fundamental simple-mindedness to characterize people that way.

Yes yes, how could anyone believe in mythical hippie spit and vile accusations. They were all about peace and love.

Do you have a source that represent all liberals?

The New York Times in which that add was run.

So, you would support the ability of thd Commander-in-Chief to decide this policy?

He never served so no.

Only for a person who has difficulty with basic grammar. Saying "homosexuals aren't weak minded" is the denial of a generalization. The generalization you have confused this with would be "No homosexual is weak-minded".

Homosexuals are human beings. Since that fact is true, every conceivable group of people since the beginning of time has had weak minded people.

I believe that hippies were often vile criminals. That does not change the notion of veternas being spit upon from myth to fact.

You continue to revel in highly simplistic reasoning.

If I personally know a veteran who was spit on does that change the notion of it being a myth?

Two can play that game. Saying homosexuals are weak minded is a denial of the generalization that they aren't.

It doesn't make it any less of a generalization, certainly.

Did you even read one brow's post? If so, it's alarming how thoroughly you misunderstood it.

Is this highly respectful anti-war sentiment a myth?
