The official "I don't get it" thread

People with knee-jerk reactions to anything.

“Every person who says this is a bigot!”

“Every person who does that should be locked up for life!”

"All people from that place are like this!"

"I tried that once and didn’t like it, so it should be banned!"

“I’m disgusted by this, and if you aren’t, then I’m disgusted by you, too!”

Nothing jeopardizes my faith in humanity like people who value their righteous indignation more than their ability to think freely.

I hope someone from CC recognizes himself or herself in this post.
