heh, bad wording sion, I apologize. I never seem to find this thread before 2 AM
If I had some way to quantify "good" and "bad" frat members, and if i could take a RANDOM sample of them, then probably the number of greeks I have met and interacted with would be a good number to analyze the population as a whole, is all I was trying to say. But since the first 2 premisses are impossible to fulfill, well, we're all just up shit creek, aren't we?
To further hijack this thread... lets talk about generalizations of groups then. I understand that mass generalizations that generate hate and bigotry are bad. BUT, it's human nature to classify things into groups. It's a REAL handy defense mechanism. If you get sick eating fruit from a purple-leaved plant, and you avoid purple-leaved plants from then on, are you discriminating against the plants? are you not giving them their fair chance? yes, but you're also not vomiting your toenails up! If I said "all greeks are bastards who deserve to die and they should all be hung upside down and the skin flayed from their bodies" then I think you'd be legit in saying that i was being racist. Since I choose to simply avoid them in consideration for my well-being, I think I'm being unjustly pinned here. But, that's just my opinion.
