You are a contradiction. I was illustrating your original stereotypical view of people in the middle east. I've included your line above. I do not generalise nor sterotype people at all. Are you denying that America (in general) spends alot of time in front of it's television sets? That everything America's people buy they really need. That America does not engage in practices that are as inhumane as the example you gave above? That America never engaged in slavery or that their is no racial disparity in the US.
