So you act ignorant and prejudiced to get more information than all of the information you just completely disregarded? Interesting approach. The problem is that people think you are ignorant and prejudiced without the intellectual capability of solid reasoning.
And all of this for some reason gives you carte blanche to generalize about all people in the social safety net following the recession that was caused by other people? How do you feel when people hold those same views to people you know in the social safety net? If you don't like it, don't do it to others [golden rule].
Sounds like you want to imply that people who are in less fortunate positions are a result of their own actions and therefore should treat the other 19 as less likely to come through based on what some of their peers did. But thinking like that would limit their opportunity and make it more difficult for people who are hard working to make it if society judges a group based on a minority within them. So I am hoping you don't look down as them as a whole based on some bad apples like it very much seems so given the comment...
I'll give you an opportunity to explain what you think it says though.
I believe that people should be judged for their own actions rather than the "typical" behavior of their demographic or peer group. Do you think that, or carry prejudice based on the 11 out of 30? Do you have an assumption about SNAP users because of a small minority?
So you saw one case of fraud and generalizate about most people in SNAP? Not very intellectual of you. Pretty simple and non-academic.
Why not explain how my perception of your views are incorrect? If you don't believe that most people in SNAP are crooks, then why try to make it seem so? Or ignore reality because it doesn't suit your persona's assumptions? It just makes you look like someone who looks down on the less fortunate and doesn't care about facts, and that's why people here don't see you the same way as people in Miami do. Whose fault is that?
If you are capable of intelligent conversation based on facts, then show it. If you act simple and devoid of any and all ability to use facts to make arguments, then that is what people will think. The disconnect between what others think and what you think of yourself is as much fault as yours then as the people who perceive you as closed-minded and it is impossible for anyone to see that you can think complexly if you never once demonstrate it.
