  i dont generalise, i observe.
  
  For example
  
  When a student from my school does some crap outside of school, they will avoid our students like plague.

  It's not. It is simply the incapability of the human brain to process all aspects of a particular matter at once, so generalising helps the brain to think faster actually.

  i think you are wrong...
  
  actually all christians believe that if you are a non believer, you will go to hell. that's wat they are taught in church and from the bible, not a generalization.

  That's not generalising at all. Please don't use this thread to start flame war.

  According to science theory, generalising takes place in everyones as the brain is made to work that way. It helps the person to think faster. But that's also became part of a human's bad point at times.

  Generally, redstone is generalising that generally, people generalise people.
  
  The above statements does not constitute a statement of generalisation. It is merely a statement of observation.
