Ranger,
All of your links and examples are anecdotal. They aren't facts. You yourself even state your assertions cannot be proven.
So I am left wondering why the simple way around all of that remains elusive to you: Don't make those kinds of statements in a debate.
A debate isn't here so that you can spout "wisdom" that you consider common or conventional. There was no reason, debate-related or otherwise, to make your liberal comment (and you only started defending it with an equally anecdotal conservative label once I took you to task for it).
Don't make stereotypical, pointless statements in a clean debate. Can I be any clearer on how a real debate is supposed to be run?
I would have thought again it was very obvious to someone who states to be well informed as yourself.
It isn't obvious, and I never said I was well informed (provide a link for that if you think I did). Please don't put words in my mouth, as that is very inappropriate debate behavior, too.
Why isn't it obvious to me? Because I try not to lump groups together and assume it's all true. It's why I also try to avoid superlatives like "never", "always", "everyone", and "no one". It's why whenever I make a bullet list of choices for someone, I try to consciously force myself to add "...or something else entirely, add detail if you need to..." so that I am not building a false di- tri-, quad, Nth- chotomy for someone.
If there is one thing in my attitude and perception I fight against tooth and nail it is stereotypes and label-based generalizations. They do absolutely no good when it comes to trying to reach common ground with people. In fact, stereotypes can skew perceptions to the point of making them entirely IMperceptive (or worse, inaccurately perceptive). If you are inclined to do some Googling yourself, go Google "attribution theory." You probably won't even need to put it in quotes.
