          Question: Is it "devisive" to point out by Classic_Jon2009-04-10 13:01:51
            It is if you harp on it time and time again. by firehawk2009-04-10 13:10:42
              In re-reading the article, the only by Classic_Jon 2009-04-10 13:38:34
political sounding statement I see is this part "Intertitle: UTOPIA IS THE OPIATE OF LIBERALS." Is that what you are talking about that you find "offensive?"


What is odd is that you are pointing out that particular generalization/stereotype and fail to mention the *other* stereotypes mentioned at the very top of the article.

"There’s the usual cross-section of customers:

Two elderly black women, sisters, who have been robbed countless times by drug-addicts. Ignored by the LAPD, they have no choice but to buy a gun for self-defense. The women wear colorful bonnets. Yup, they dressed up to go gun shopping.

There are a couple of hunters buying high-powered ammunition; they sound like Los Alamos scientists as they discuss the exquisite physics of various exotic slugs. It’s way beyond my comprehension.

Two Marines on leave are stocking up on rugged, combat-ready clips for their side-arms. Semper Fi.

There’s also a young Hispanic apartment manager who lives in a high-crime area. His wife just had a baby—Mazal Tov!—and he wants to protect his family from the local "desperadoes.""

Do you not find those generalizations as offensive? Or is it because politics are a hot button issue?
