View Full Version : to generalize or not to generalize...that's the question...

Most people have come to conclude threads with statements like "do not generalize." Especially in questions that are 'negative' in nature like 'what's the rowdiest crowd' or the 'most pakonyo school,' it's almost impossible to answer the question without 'generalizing.'

To those people who say do not generalize, each post is an expression of each one's individual opinion.

To those who post in these threads, just watch the way you say your messages. "X school's students have very bad personal formation" is different from "X school has a lot of students with very bad personal formation."

The people who start these threads are to blame! I mean, what do you want to get out of it?
