kwagoner 214 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I am relatively new to the General Forums part of this site. However I see something regularly in the world and have seen a ton of it on here. People are predetermined that a certain party is evil b/c party x believes this. If someone leans a certain way on a particular issue then they are ______. As you may notice, I do not tie myself to a party. I do see a lot of stereotypes both ways and being on the middle ground I wonder if that helps me to see this differently than others. How is: - Those "dims" want to tax us to death. - Those "repugs" only want to flood our coast with oil and destroy the environment. - Billy doesn't want to drill off FL.............. he must be a liberal democrat - Susan likes to keep a .38 in her purse................obviously she's a NRA worshiping republican Different from: (no offense to anyone, I'm using these to make a point; not to voice an opinion) - Carlos works construction............probably lives in a trailer with 10 other Mexicans - There was a black family renting the pavilion.............. oh boy, rap music and hot wings. - Don won't vote for Hilary.............he's a sexist - Whoa a Mercedez?................. Quite showing off all your money - She likes horses.............what a freaking redneck! - Can I spare some change?...............Get a job you drunk! - Good thing we got out of church at 11:50.........we'll beat the Baptists today. - Paul is a single dad.....................his ex must be a druggie ho-bag - Jimmy is 42 and has never been married................must be gay right? - A racial riot?...............whites and blacks need to get along. I fail to see a difference myself. Is there any good justification? On a wide scale, I think there are more exceptions to the political stereotypes than people care to realize.

AURaptor 1,125 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm the exception to one..... my name isn't 'Jimmy', I'm 43, not 42, and I'm quite the eligible bachelor, thank you very much. But all the other stereo types are based in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
