I hate, hate, hate that sentiment, that if "enough" of a group thinks a certain way, it's okay to generalize. What the hell does that even mean? How many is "enough"? 50.1%? 60%? 75%? Exactly where do you draw the line? Furthermore, how do you know that "enough" people think it? Even if your cut off is 50.1% of the group in question, when said group consists of millions of people, how can you even say that "enough" believe what you say they do? Sure, maybe the ten, fifty, or, generously, hundred people you know do, but 100/60,000,000 IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE YOU JACKASS.
I also just love how he tries to say "oh yeah I guess I was generalizing oops" and then afterward completely negates it with the whole "sometimes it's okay to generalize!" bullshit. What the fuck ever, dude. You don't even have the balls to stick to one opinion, so who the hell are you to say anyone else doesn't have "guts"? He reminds me of this time I saw an anonymous commenter call someone a "coward". Lol, Bernie Goldberg, that is my reaction to you. Just lol.
The, "Oooh, look, I just called you gay! Buuurn!" bit pissed me off too. Wow, I bet Jon is going to beat you up at recess for that.
Also, Bernie Goldberg, because you're an idiot: "comedian" and "social commentator" are not mutually exclusive entities. That's often at the core of what a comedian IS; we certainly seem to remember them for it.
Ahhh, stupid people. Why do they always feel compelled to their mouths?
