&gt; That young white men feel entitled to shoot people when their lives don&#x27;t work out (and apparently others don&#x27;t)<p>If I said that Jews feel entitled to slander people and call them racist when their arguments about the existence of gas chambers don&#x27;t work out, I would be <i>ding ding ding</i>&#x27;ed by <i>dang</i>.<p>While both assertions are crassly correct, we must ask ourselves (dropit_sphere, pay attention now):<p>- Please tone down your claims. Are you sure it is a characteristic inherent of <i>young white men</i> that they feel like shooting people when their lives don&#x27;t work out? Or perhaps do you think it could be the characteristic not of such a large group with so many counter-examples to your thesis, but of a much narrower group, such as, for instance, non-home-schooled pubescent students under prescription drugs and probably victims of bullying, who aren&#x27;t emotionally connected enough with their parents in order to talk through their feelings? When you generalize it to &quot;young white men&quot; you indict a whole category of people when really you should be chastising only the exceptional, criminal outliers.<p>- Please substantiate your claims more. How did you come to the conclusion that young white men feel entitled to shoot people when their lives don&#x27;t work out, while others apparently do not? Is there a study corroborating this? Can we make this claim from the sample size we have? Have there been other cases where people mistakenly blamed a whole group for the actions of the outliers? (Hint: Jews). If so, what can we learn from it?<p>dang: please moderate this thread more closely in order to curtail the behavior exemplified by dropit_sphere&#x27;s post. Thank you.
