I think it's a near absolute that those who make it to the very top, world leaders & elite, are all psychopathic. Perhaps not every one of them, but nearly so. Would you consider this a sweeping generalization? I'm curious.

You're a victim of your own thread. Generalizing that all generalizations are the work of imbecils... I don't even have to ad hominem you (something which I try not to do anyway), you do it to yourself.

I hear them all the time about "Americans" the "Chinese" the "Middle east" etc. I fear that for those who are not well read or have a good understanding of the real world that they will actually believe some of the stereotyping that goes on simply because a topic poster is popular.

The Illusion of "me" vs. "other" probably comes from the false notion that if there is no separation, everyone will be the same and things will be boring.
In my opinion its possible to be as ONE without being the same, without loosing individuality, without loosing national identity, with maintaining full diversity.

Not really talking about all Generalizations but a certain type.

Im not saying that ALL Generalizations are a fallacy. Thats what the second poster said. I did not say that.

Go out into the real world and you`ll find...
* Homosexuals who are not interested in marriage
* Palestinians who are Christians
* Jews who are struggling to survive financially
* Chinese who are creative
* Muslims who love America
...and more...
