categorising people

[hermanntrude]

I've noticed a lot of it happens now. People state that x was done by christians or y was done by muslems, or all americans are z.

Why should we categorise people? and if we do maybe we could attempt to use the categories only when they truly apply. For instance rather than say all acts of terrorism are carried out by muslems we could say all acts of terrosism are carried out by insane bastards. I really think it's important that people stick to what's true, rather than making generalisations. Prejudices can be sustained, created or emphasised by doing otherwise. dont you agree?

Well, I have been labelled as "handsome" and "intelligent" and I can't argue with that! Sure, it may have been me doing the labelling, but I thought it was a pretty accurate description!
