Generalizations are just that and they always insult people, no matter if they are exceptional or not. How many times do you/we feel insulted when a magazine says something like "ColdFusion programmers don't know how to code?"
Yes, there are some kids who deserve to be folded, spindled and mutilated. Some of them pass by my house going from public school every day. But I can only speak of the ones I hear cursing and acting like animals. Not all of those passing are these animals and I can't speak for those who I don't see. And that's NY. Are the kids in Alabama the same? Like I said, generalizations. Like you said, generalizations. On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 8:11 PM, Erika L.
