    btw, since you missed it

    Don't tell Andrew Burke he is guilty of generalising and then proceed to do it yourself.

    What I said was Burke was making a superficial generalization, both unintelligent and ignorant.

    Obviously to discuss culture is to generalize by nature, and I wasn't disparaging all conversations on culture. Only misinformed ones such as what he argued.

    Duh!

    You wonder why I call people like you idiotic? Because you constantly prove it so.
