why change a winning formula

Now all stereotypes at the very least are simplistic generalisations but have you come across any that struck you as particularly ridiculous?

Well, you just opened a can of worms! I am polish and sometimes do stupid things. The fact is, there are many very intelligent polish people but they always get the stupid rap. I however, can laugh at myself. Alot of people can nt. People get very stupid about offenses.
People need to get a thicker skin and learn to laugh. Life is too short!


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1707)   ranked 189 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

well opening a can of worms was the idea. everybody does stupid things so saying polish people are stupid is, erm, stupid. harmless but silly stereotypes about your group are funny, other stereotypes less so. up to you whether you think this one is harmless or not.

happy Hi Jb...I guess the sterotype I find most ridiculous is that city people are more educated and sophisticated than country people. Pffffft!!

Here's one, Bush was a Conservative.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1707)   ranked 189 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

what was he?


myLot reputation of 64/100. freethinkingagent (1003)   ranked 1,280 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

He was a Moderate Republican. Most people think all republicans are conservatives, and all democrats are liberals. He was not a conservative, He grew the size of government and increased Government spending, we haven't had a conservative president since Reagan.

If you used to do drugs you still do drugs.

Don't know if that is actually a stereotype or a monotype.

But it pisses me off either way.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1707)   ranked 189 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

it's pretty banal and doesn't really make much sense


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (2784)   ranked 22 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

I know. But since I still have long hair and "act cool" (whatever that means) many people assume I still do drugs and are always asking me where they can get some...even complete strangers. doh

It's like I'm going to have to buy several t shirts that say "LEAVE ME ALONE I DON'T DO DRUGS" and start wearing them when I go out.

that's a nasty one. by the way the question was meant to be general not just political - i stuck it in politics because of the stereotyping i've seen here.


myLot reputation of 98/100. astonysh (1824)   ranked 527 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

no problem - I will stereotype you as a political junkie ....


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1707)   ranked 189 out of 6,346 in politics  4 months ago

that's not a stereotype, that's a sad fact...
