I always enjoy seeing some right winger blowing down the freeway with his
yellow plastic "support our troops" sticker plastered over a door ding on
the fender of his Suburban. I often honk and wave, with all my fingers. I
am in complete agreement with the literal meaning of that sentiment, (but
not the "code" talk it stands for in many cases-"Hurrah for the invasion of
Iraq").

Close, but no cigar.

If I had said "all right wingers blow down the freeway in
Suburbans......." that would be a stereotype. If you read carefully, I
said "some right wingers" blow down the freeway........"

I also said I was in complete agreement with the literal meaning of the
bumper sticker. I doubt that John H is often in complete agreement with
the literal meaning of any of my opinions.

Had John said, "a favorite of some liberals" he would not have been
stereotyping, but he didn't. He claims to be a fan of binary thinking,
and in binary thinking stereotypes are probably indispensible.

Chuck,
You crave attention. So does Harry
You are a word crafter. So is Harry.
You claim great knowledge of boats. So does Harry.
You are into cameras and photography So is Harry.
You are a political extremist. So is Harry.
You have rental property. So does Harry.
Your personality is much like Harry's
You are an expert on everything. So is Harry
You torment Skipper. So does Harry
You avoided military service. So did Harry
You claimed "I served my country a different way". I believe those were
Harry's exact words.
You think your **** doesn't stink. So does Harry
Should we assume that you and Harry are one and the same?

This sounds more like the new Skipper than JimH. Is it possible JiminFl,
Skipper, JimH, and Smithers are one in the same?

Arguable.


You are a word crafter. So is Harry.

So are tens of millions of others.


You claim great knowledge of boats. So does Harry.

I never claimed a thing. If somebody concludes I know something about
boats, that would be their conclusion to draw.


You are into cameras and photography So is Harry.

So are tens of millions of others.


You are a political extremist. So is Harry.

Really? Harry's a moderate, I'm a liberal, and many voices in the NG
are far more extreme than Harry's or mine.


You have rental property. So does Harry.

So do tens of millions of others.


Your personality is much like Harry's


Naw, if my personality were like Harry's I'd be flaming your arse in a
major way.


You are an expert on everything. So is Harry

Really? Well thanks. I never really thought I was an expert on
anything. Nice to see that you think so highly of me, and I'm sure
Harry probably appreciates the compliment as well.



You torment Skipper. So does Harry

Yeah, I really torment Skipper. Just think of the torment the poor sock
puppet is having to endure as he launches attack threads ("open letter
to.....") and posts false, hateful, stories about his meetings with me
that are not only untrue, but contradict comments the real Skipper made
about those same meetings shortly after they occured. Yeah, I'm just
beatin' hell out of the poor guy.


You avoided military service. So did Harry
You claimed "I served my country a different way". I believe those were
Harry's exact words.


I was drafted and fulfilled my obligation under the law. I don't know
that the same can be said for Harry.


You think your **** doesn't stink. So does Harry


You have some basis for this claim? Depending on recent consumption, my
**** can stink pretty badly. I've never discussed the smell of ****
with Harry, so I can't comment there.


Should we assume that you and Harry are one and the same?

You can assume anything you like. But remember, if this were Harry he
would have called you about 50 names by this point in the post. :-)

Where did I claim to be a fan of binary thinking? How would you define 'binary
thinking'? How do stereotypes and binary thinking go together? Are you
stereotyping binary thinkers? (If such things exist?)

ROTFLMAO.

John, check your sig. You have used that sig to claim for months and
months that one must employ binary thinking to reach any sort of
decision.

Stereotypes facilitate binary thinking because, with a stereotype,
entire groups of people can be reduced to a single factor subject to a
preexisting conclusion. When you reduce your question to two single
factors, you have a binary proposition.

The fact that the making of a decision is the result of binary thinking does not
mean that the decision maker is only a binary thinker.

Before one has reduced the question to two single factors, one may well have
considered a multitude of factors. Does the reduction process make one a binary
thinker?

Have you ever made a choice from half a dozen (more or less) alternatives? How
did you make your choice?
