Yes, it was everywhere. My question for Tyler was "where in the posted story" do you see this? Answer: nowhere.

Absolutely nothing wrong with stereotyping? Do you mean "absolutely" or just in some cases (with which I would agree)?

Riiiiiight--painting with a broad brush--great idea! The basis for all knowledge? Really?

So as usual you were looking at it wrong.

I mean absolutely. It is up to the individual to prove they aren't the stereotype (assuming a negative one). If someone is unwilling to learn that the person isn't, that's on them.'

Yes, basis for all knowledge. Stereotyping has pushed every discovery, caused every invention, and more. Everything is created because of a bias against something else. Admittedly, there are some exceptions out there.

Hmmm...

That's some world in which you live. Negative stereotypes apply to everyone in a group (guilty until proven innocent). Positive stereotypes are the exception to the rule, I guess? Then how would they be stereotypes?

You seem to fancy yourself a bit of a philosopher, JB. I'll buy that--you are a bit (albeit a tiny bit) of a philosopher.

Except I wasn't. Tyler posted a story about a woman setting fire to herself in a thread titled (oddly) "Why Must Democrats Tell Lie?" The story has absolutely nothing to do with Democrats. Lying, yes. Democrats, no.

Why would you want to disprove a positive stereotype?

You're confusing yourself too. Go back and read everything. You didn't ask TT about media bias, you made the statement towards me about it because I said it belongs there and not here.

Sure it had to do with democrats when the girl said she was attacked because she was wearing an Obama shirt.

Someone who would set fire to herself absolutely proves she's a democrat.

Breaking my rule for one post on here........ I am so relieved that only Democrats lie. I thought all politicians lied. Glad to have this bit of knowledge. Maybe I should just vote Republican since none of them lie. Mitt and GW Bush never mislead or told a lie is VERY comforting.

Where did I say anything about wanting to disprove a positive stereotype?

You are right--I did refer back to the wrong thing (it's called a mistake; people make them; wise people admit it).

But, you keep missing the point, JB. This discussion stems from Tyler's post. Where is the media bias in the article he posted?

That would be true IF THE ARTICLE TYLER POSTED SAID THAT. It does not.

Again, I brought up media bias and I already answered you in post #89.

Many others did. I didn't know there was a "comment only on one article rule" on BBB.
