Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Imagine basing your entire perception of a person based on a single group identity that they have, it turns a 3D person into 2D cutouts of themselves and reduces their opinions and belief's to the group identity and not the persons identity.
(It also dehumanizes them making it trivial to justify uncivil behavior.)
Never judge a person under normal circumstances based on their group as you don't know their reason for their belief. (Provided that their not a extremist.)
Think for yourself and be careful to understand another's POV before making a judgment about them as a person.

I don't make assumptions like that usually. There are some groups that have lots of corruption within, just didn't know if I missed the memo on libertarians.
