More on confused conservatives

The thread where the rather short discussion takes place is called 'Not All Muslims are Bad.' What a typical statement by Bolton's opponent. This is one of the favorite lines of leftists, and it seems libertarians too often share the failings of liberals. Whenever someone makes a generalization, the retort from the liberal is always 'not all [fill in the blank] are like that.' I mean, in these discussions, no one is claiming that each and every member of the group in question is the same, or that all are 'bad.' The issue is always generalities. But the liberals always cite a one-in-a-thousand exception and triumphantly claim this disproves the generalization. Why is it so hard to show people that an exception here and there does not disprove the general rule? The average is what counts, where groups of people are concerned.


Stupid liberals.

This is funny...and it reminded me of another thread...

I'm also a nerd because it reminded me of my math classes and proofs....because in there, one exception DOES disprove the general rule. :) But, of course, life isn't like math. Aren't we all glad?
