::::What I meant, Ed, was that he is trying to use exampes of bigotry to prove that all (or most) liberals are bigotted. It can't be done, unless he gives an example from all (or most) liberals. I don't know how many times I have said this across this wiki, but nobody seems to understand this point. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 19:52, 13 November 2008 (EST)

:::::You don't seem to understand the basis of statistics and representative data. It is utterly impossible to survey the entirety of a population in ''any study''. Instead, we have to rely on representative examples, the broader the better. This establishes an underlying culture and shared values. [[User:RodWeathers|RodWeathers]] 19:55, 13 November 2008 (EST)

Never let it be said that I failed to understand a point. I was kind of pulling your leg with the 'example logic' above.
Apparently what is happening is that the two different sides are using selected examples to argue that the other side are the real bigots. Erasing each other's examples isn't going to remedy the situation. I suggest we try something else. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 19:59, 13 November 2008 (EST)
