too much generalization

Not every rapist is the child of a rapist nor does every child born of rape turn out to be a rapist. Yes, behaviors are passed from generation to generation but that is generally by example, not genetics. Alcoholism is not a fair comparison as alcoholism is a disease. Many children of alcoholics, though, are adamantly opposed to alcohol. violence, you other example, would more likely be passed on as the child witnesses or is subject to the violent behaviors in their formative years. So this might be true if the child lived with a father who was a rapist AND the child was exposed to the aggressive behaviors a rapist would demonstrate in his dealings with women. You state the possibility is there but the possibility is there for any child, not just a child or rape. The possibility is also there that the child would not be a rapist. Let's be fair and open-minded about it.

With your generalization of what
food stamp recipients do all day long, maybe you can feel the frustration of those of us who have paid our bills and mortgages on time, have lived within our means and don't want to bail out those who lived above their means, charging everything in site, thinking the free ride would last forever and now want those of us who are responsible to take care of them.
While I agree with your suggestion in therory, I certainly don't want the gov't telling me what I can or can't buy, where I can or can't live, or telling me how I should live in general.
sweeping generalization
dont fall on your broom like Albert DiSalvo.
Another broad sweeping generalization
Another broad sweeping generalization..I guess you know ALL liberals? Know our values, what we would do under socialism..yada..yada..yada?? Keep these crazy posts coming, Im having a ball reading them..rolling on the floor laughing....what is that..*BAAAAA..BAAAA*..Oh, darn, I think I hear the republican sheep herder calling you...
Before you continue with your generalization rampage
William Bennett's remarks are definitely NOT representative of conservative views as a whole. However, you and GT's comments do nothing...absolutely nothing but make the division between political views that much worse. If you and your ideology truly want unity and peace you would do the cause much good by not adding gasoline to an already bad bonfire.
Your comments cause as much harm to race/political relations as what Bennett said himself.
Over generalization....socialism is redistribution
xx
Again, awful generalization. Your animosity toward anyone
again goes against your other posts. Plus, you're basing some of your own opinions on hearsay from others? Lest you forget, it's the person, not the money. Look at Angelina Jolie, someone we all know has plenty of money. She might not have food sitting out by the mailbox on food drive day, but that might be because she's "walking the walk" in a poor third world country. You don't want to be judged, yet you are doing an awful lot of judging yourself.
