| SeaDaVie said: Yes, I have confirmation bias in regards to the characterisation of a person I've never encountered before in my entire life. Makes perfect sense. What about the people blaming this decision on foreigners, Muslims and left-wing lunatics without knowong a single thing about who made the decision or why? That's not confirmation bias at all, and definitely not ignorant and prejudiced. Again, though another person chose to ignore that and focus on the one person who actually highlighted the reason the girl was asked to leave the class, and not because the school is run by Muslims(or whatever group your preconceived biases aligns you against) Another shining light of humanity you are eh. I get it, this website tends to have a lot, let's say, outcasts; people that feel anger at being left behind by society, and you want to take that anger out on someone. However, maybe just think for a second about where that anger is coming from, who is stoking it and what their objective is. |
Yet you have no problem ascribing beliefs and positons to said person. Why don't you focus on people that have actually said things you find offensive? That's typically how forums work, when it comes to different/opposing stances. You debate/argue with the person that has the view you disagree with. You don't assume posters that haven't replied to the people you disagree share their views. You have an axe to grind on a wholely separate issue. Instead of making a thread on it, you chose to hijack this one.
