Sorry, Lexi. You picked an extremely bad source for information. That dude is someone that only a 12-year-old-mentality left-winger could believe. Funny that you should mention "irrational - illogical" in your last statement...

Want three more words that explain nearly everyone you know? "Conformity, intolerance, and insecurity." The fear-mongering left-wing media breeds those traits. Just open your mind, start paying attention to the world and the people around you and you will see. Once your mind starts to open, you'll know it. EVERYTHING will look different. It will be the best and the worst thing to happen to you.

Thank You for proving my point.
It is now generally accepted in over
a thousand pieces of research and critical articles
that some people are psychologically
more prone to prejudiced thinking than others.

From your posts it is clear that you tend to
think in terms of general categories, if only
to enable you to make sense of the world by simplyfing
its complexity.

I can only assume that your personality, your thoughts
and feelings have been developed in, and shaped by
your social conext.

You obviously live in an environment that encourages
prejudice. You probably conform to the norm's of
your own group. And you certainly do display a
distinctive set of traits including conformity,
intolerance, and insecurity - typical of many
prejudiced people.

The Truth,

I'd have to agree with Lexi. You (Truth) sound more and more like a dyed in the wool Socialist - just about as far left as one can get, short of out and out Communist - the very thinking you seem to deplore. (But then you seem to have a problem with everyone, Libs, the Right, Left, Academics, Everyman, and all in between. It must be pretty lonely in there, in your self-made Ivory Tower.)
Yours is indeed a complicated personality, and, contrary to your view, I think the great majority of people are quite rational, and capable of reviewing their attitudes and beliefs.

Wow, you two are total nuts. Lexi just goes with, "uh, book?" —'if I never read it in a book or saw it on the screen, it never happened, especially if I saw it in person with my own eyes'— and Saltpetre with "M-O-O-N. That spells 'attention'." —'hey guys, look at me!' Lexi posts from Communist books and Saltpetre posts whatever he/she thinks a "HuffPo" or Gawker kid might like.

"Thank You for proving my point. It is now generally accepted in over a thousand pieces of research and critical articles that some people are psychologically more prone to prejudiced thinking than others."

You still do not have a point. That's your problem. And you apparently cannot read. I did not say that no one is more prone than another to do, say or think whatever. I said that your source is a Marxist nut who cannot be taken seriously. Those who have copied and pasted and/or believed this nut's 'findings' are clearly just more of those whom lack the ability to think for themselves.

"... generally accepted in over a thousand pieces of research..." Sorry, but that does not mean anything. Who cares? "Man-made" global warming is also "generally accepted" by the same types of "thinkers," although it is far from reality. The left's anti-science, anti-common-sense approach to "debating" has made "... generally accepted..." unacceptable and those who use the term obviously never know what they are talking about.

"From your posts it is clear that you tend to think in terms of general categories, if only to enable you to make sense of the world by simplyfing its complexity."

Common clueless nut mistake. Making general assumptions and accusations without actually reading or paying attention to the thread. For your information, the thread is on the topic of "gays," which is as general as it gets, i.e. "the broadest niche." That means that the author, you, myself and everyone else on this thread are thinking in terms of general categories. In other words, read your own posts... You're doing the same thing that you are accusing me of.
