fantastic IMO!

Broadbrush denigrations against entire groups are not allowed (subject to the decision of jury) on DU for good reason.

If they were we would spend our entire time arguing with freepers just trying to get back to principles that have been accepted for a long time.

Everyone is equal, we are all individuals.

Even if we are part of a group, whether it be christians, muslims, hindus, atheists, the overweight, smokers, gamers or whatever we should never be judged as a group (unless that group has all specifically and explicity signed up for the thing that is being criticized, e.g. Republican pols and the Grover Norquist tax pledge).
