[QUOTE="soberups, post: 970430, member: 14668"] It is unfortunately an all-too-common human failing to pre-judge an entire class of people and ridicule them because we do not understand them. If the people who we are pre-judging and ridiculing are members of a religious or ethnic minority.... such behavior makes us "bigots" and we are rightfully condemned for our ignorance and intolerance. If, on the other hand, the people who we are pre-judging and ridiculing happen to be [I]gun owners[/I]....such behavior makes us "liberals" and we are [I]applauded[/I] by others for our ignorance and intolerance. I guess it is just a lot easier to buy into stereotypes than it is to base one's opinion on facts. [/QUOTE]
