Default Re: OFF TOPIC - The IOC sucks.

After a short night's sleep and some rethinking, I've realized the error of my ways. Not so much oversimplification or misrepresentation of the Southern Baptists (though valid assertions), but overgeneralization. I took the actions of individuals (like the Southern Baptist who told my Catholic friend he was going to Hell for being Catholic) and individual actions of the sect (like the Disney boycott) and applied them to the sect as a whole, without really knowing the motives and beliefs of the sect and its members. Kinda like if I had said that all Canadians are nothing more than beer-swilling hockey goons, which obviously they aren't ("all I ever needed to know about Canada I learned from 'Strange Brew'").

So, I've learned three things:
A) Don't go about bashing a group of people until I understand where they're coming from;
2) Think before I post; and
ç) No more posting at 4 am!

Quikngruvn, off to make an omelet with the egg on his face
