Stereotyping - Humorous or old hat and offensive?

A good mate of mine that used to run free partys
He said to me late one night dont judge people on what you dont like about them
Judge them on how they can help improve your life

Now im not one for taking advantage of anyone
However since i found the late bay in a period of turmoil
Ive stuck with people that offered help guidence and food
And ive found myself doing the same since

Nowts perfect but when you get a good bunch together anythings possible

 

You are missing a black or brown labrador...

 

I'm afraid that may change if we need the parking space ...

Unfortunately some stereotypes are perpetuated and lead to injustice. The last few days listening to the radio have been really upsetting, bringing back awful memories. I'm not a liverpool fc fan.

It's easy to fall back on stereotypes, we all do, but discussions lead to change. In the absence of discussion the status quo remains. Think back (and not that long ago) the attitudes towards many people were truly awful. 40 years it was ok to use the n word on tv, that was seen as as alright.

Thankfully the world moves forward; that's not being pc, it's being civil and open minded. The term pc is often used by some people and aspects of the media to actively discourage debate and change and comes from a position of fear of change and the unknown.

I'm glad I'm not living in an age of legal and socially accepted racism, homophobia and misogyny.

Thankfully the world is changing

 

Send them all to be re-educated in the correct way of thinking. Individuality is a threat to the rule of the State.

 

I forgot the 'All Coppers Are B@stards' stereotype.

 

Sadly, you're right...it's the basis of most organized religions...accept the dogma without question...if you question it, you're accused of being a heretic, or worse...
Then, of course, there's good old 'Faith'.....that catch all nonsense that enables others to dictate terms and co-opt people's inherent sensibility....Have 'faith' that if you put your hand in the fire it won't burn....somehow I think not. Stereotyping is, as someone pointed out, 'lazy thinking' and comes from the same stable as organized religion IMO

 

i did used to like my stereo thou

 

Thankfully they're not, some of my friends and all that ...

 

In the 90s the typical hard core football hooligan who organised the fights was mid 25 - 35, employed and educated, not the late teenager waiting for his balls to drop. I was surprised just how much organisation went into these mass fights.
