Nicely done, a bit of a personal attack, but clever just the same. As far as the generalizations or stereotypes, by definition, they are mostly true. Do not even assume for a second that I believe that all union workers are lazy, or that all poor people are poor because of their own actions, there are always exceptions. That is why it's "general". But the same as the electoral college works, 51% of a state votes democrat, then all of the electoral votes for that state go to the Democrat candidate, generalizing that whole state as Democrat. (Just an example) Insurance companies do it everyday, hence young males pay far more in auto insurance than the same age female, because generally, a young male is more likely to do something dumb, probably to show off for a girl. Therefore their insurance is higher. I have never been in an accident that was deemed my fault, but I still paid the higher rate when I was young. Any company that sells any product, generalizes and stereotypes their marketing in order to maximize their sales. So you must be right, 'People who generalize are stupid', therefore, anyone who is in designing, sales, engineering, investing, insurance and so on must be stupid.... which I believe, if I am not mistaken, in some way, is ultimately everyone, except the unemployed, making them the smartest!!!!

My point Xactly

My subliminal point was that the comment itself was a generalization which inferred a diminutive to my own cognizant psychi.

'Nuff big words for today - I have a headache.

BTW, I wasn't trying to attack you personally (sorry if I came across that way). Generalizations happen to be one of my pet peeves - that is what I was attacking.

I got the original joke, hence the "very clever" comment
For real LOLLOLOLOLOL. Thanks, you made my day, just got home from work, and I went in yesterday at 0600. Tough to make someone smile after 30 hours at work.

BTW,

Wifey wants to visit Charleston either this summer or next to do some ghost tours. I haven't been in that area in years so would like to visit again too. I'll let you know if/when it happens.

That would be cool, do you have a DOD ID? There is a really nice campground that has cottages right here in Charleston for military/dod only. Its on a nice a pretty big lake, Lake Moultry(SP?). Let me know for sure...after Moab of course.

[tom4bren]

Yup on the DOD ID. Army Civ for the past 25 years (dang, that makes me sound OLD).

I'm guessing that it'll prolly be next summer since we are doing the family trip to Niagra this July.

"Its on a nice a pretty big lake, Lake Moultry(SP?)."

Awsome - I could bring the SeaDoos.
