Sitting and relaxing, I got to considering the fact that so few ppl, on a whole, do so much to affect your opinions. I have no percentages to give you but lets be honest. For everyone who helps you in life, there are 100 who walk by. And for ever 1 who truely treats you badly there are 1000 who never hurt you.
So consider our stereotypes and our anger towards "groups"
These candy canes, pictured below are almost all white, except on the surface and a little bit below, where they have these red stripes
3 small ones and one large one
the 3 small ones:
extremists
assholes
loud mouths
the big one:
hypocrits
yet we judge the whole treat by its stripes, though they don't change the flavor one bit
(please note I am using the idea of the candycanes as a group of ppl as WE see them. Each individual has a choice of whether or not they will be associted with extremeists, assholes and loudmouths....thus the large stripe is hypocrits)
