My broad generalizations are pulled from the leading news agencies. Do you take offense when reading a Time Magazine a newspaper? There are stats for every economic class, every religon, every ethic group, male, female, gay, straight, old, young, rich, poor and thousands of others. It's a gathering of info that is meant to be shared, studied and hopefully understand that we as a people can gain knowledge and improve. Every soul on this earth belongs to these stats and every one can be offened if they so choose by some of the findings. But why? It is what it is.
Should I take offense at findings that put Germans at fault for something or another. No. What about my religon? If people say something negitive I don't take it personally, they could very well be right. It's not perfect, nothing is.
