The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Unfortunately, liberals would scream blue murder if schools went back to teaching social virtues. ~Wendy

I'm a Liberal and I would be fine with schools teaching social virtues as long as freedom of/from religion was respected.
Also sweeping generalizations, (liberals would scream blue murder) are not helpful because they apply broad, absolute rules or stereotypes to specific instances or groups without proper evidence or consideration of individual differences. This leads to unfair, inaccurate, and illogical conclusions that ignore diversity and exceptions, often resulting in misunderstanding, division, and prejudice.
Such overstatements undermine credible argumentation and can harm relationships by promoting judgment based on group affiliations rather than individual qualities.
They can also create barriers to growth, unity, and effective collaboration by fostering fear, animosity, and stereotyping instead of understanding and nuanced thinking
