Actually yea... you could say 'programmers are introverts' and largely be correct. It is the use of 'all' that makes it a problem. You didn't see me use the word 'all' anywhere did you?

No, use data if you want to get consensus with others! I'll wait for the data indicating a high amount of conservatives are racist... it does not exist! But also yes, for your survival.

I've done the research into gun violence using Federal data and was surprised. The analysis and conclusion is my own in the first link below: https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/3143-actual-conservative-policies-or-stances/#comment-100986 https://intermatwrestle.com/forums/topic/147-seriously-michigan/page/12/#comment-21698 The one finding that makes me scratch my head some is that most gun violence is through stolen hand guns. They guys committing the crimes don't have legal ownership. They are getting their guns from legal owners. So banning or heavily restricting legal hand guns reduces the guns available to be stolen. You are not going to ban hand guns so how to make it safer? Biometric smart gun technology becomes interesting because a thief cannot use the gun. You need the ability to have multiple bio people linkages (e.g. 10 cops can all fire the same gun). Except currently smart guns are easily hackable. At least a smart gun prevents a toddler from accidental use. The other problem with smart guns is that bio tech fails. Like the face recognition and fingerprint reader on my devices sometimes fail. If that was to fail when I needed it for defense, its a non starter. So we need better smarter guns and then I'd support hand gun regulations involving smart gun tech.

What discussion led you to believe one cannot push back? Unlike the accurate stereotypes, to say that conservatives are racist is a wrong and harmful one. If it was most conservatives, then you would be fine. But it is by far a minority of conservatives that are racist... so you are wrong.

Because "words are violent" to whomever finds it offensive.

Bluesky is so much better /s

That makes him American, not left or right.

Many stereo types are based on statistical reality, without care for how it makes you uncomfortable. Stereotypes are part of our biological need to survive. I may be stupid but it is naive to think we shouldn't use stereotypes or for anyone to claim they don't. We can be aware of them and try to recognize the dangers... but never go so far as to dismiss the good of them. Would you ask an old person in a wheel chair if they can grab the other side of that 200 pound sofa? Or a toddler for directions? There is a tiger, should I pet him? 20 young men showed up at closing time in the parking lot of this fair, wearing red and blue. Should I ask if they want to join me in hacky sack? Stereotypes are often accurate. Men are stronger than women Asians are good at math African Americans are less likely to have two parent households Jews are good with money Americans are fat Engineers are analytical Stereotypes are probabilistic sketches, not absolute rules. Understanding and using stereotypes is not automatically dehumanizing. But I'm stupid.

Please explain yourself. Are you still claiming that stereotypes are absolutely factually wrong? (rather than sometimes factually correct) And then making judgements based on that wrong understanding?

If one wanted to dramatically reduce gun violence, they would Execute a plan to increase the black father's presence in a two-parent family home. Heavily police the few blocks (hot spots) in major cities where gun violence predominantly occurs. Invest in smart gun technology that is reliable for the owner(s) in a time of need. (specifically hand guns) and then mandate the smart gun technology on new guns Somewhere after abortions, gangs, crimes, auto accidents, drugs, medical, drowning... one will eventually stumble onto the priority of school/church shootings. Why is there so much attention on the school shooting outlier in comparison to the other ridiculousness occurring at much higher rates? To Charlie's end... there isn't a gun restriction practical that would have prevented his assassination.

He also behaves like a conservative. Having a mix of ideas doesn't change stereotypes and generalizations.

He also behaves like a conservative. There is openness to have a mixed set of ideas and values.

Nice try. Conservatives support rules for order.

I shut my brain off to this show week after week. It is the only one currently.

If anyone cared about gun violence, cities would welcome the national guard with open arms.

I know a sikh from India and would not let him travel alone to certain places in the midwest because of 9/11 fears of muslims and confusion.

The topic is extremely relevant to current behaviors and news.

betas routinely challenge alphas. some become alphas and some remain betas.

Stereotypes are built on facts, but can be misrepresentations and lead you astray. They are necessary.

It is logical in accordance to generalizations. At the senior level, the attributes for success involve personal responsibility. Grind in the practice room. Grind watching videos. Grind on strength and conditioning. Healthy mind. Healthy body. Be diligent while your competition is sleeping. Be humble and grateful. Have heart. Challenge. Confidence. One on one. Create and execute your plan. The result of the match is on my merit alone. The most dominate (often entertaining) wrestler is the most liked wrestler. Wrestling is one of the oldest grittiest sports. Wrestling is strongly aligned with right values. If we took a survey, which politics would align with these statements? People that agree with the first five will skew left. People that agree with the last two will skew right. There is room for everything in between. Underdogs and minorities should be spotted 5 points. The wrestler won/lost because they have one leg. The loser should have their hard raised and be given a participation medal. The loser lost because the rules were biased against them. The loser lost because their training environment was unfair. The loser lost because they did not prepare as much as the winner. The winner won because of their merit.

The stupid people are in power now. What ever will a beta do? Shoot the alphas.

I am grateful to be aware that I am stupid. Can you imagine betas so weak-minded and captured that they cannot use generalizations to make quick decisions? Rather they must pander to political correctness?

You are making it worse. You don't use stereotypes and understand the value of them? You know... especially at night in the city... you should be scared of a group of strangers, and be even more scared of a group of black strangers. It isn't about skin color or the reasoning... It is just the facts with regards to safety. You should keep your hands on the wheel and do exactly what the cop tells you. Comply with the cop's instruction... Remember, I'm stupid.

Looked him up. Yea wow. Not just a few instances... rather one continuous state of hypocritical behavior.

I didn't know that. I'll have to go look up Mark Robinson and what you are staying. That doesn't change the value of personal responsibility at all.
