I hate it when, say, I try to categorize a state as being the West, Midwest, South, etc, and people get all mad and say "you shouldn't generalize", like I was launching a personal attack. It's like how angry are you?
It's interesting to compare and contrast things, it doesn't mean you're some bigoted racist or have some agenda.

If a person can't get a general idea about things, then how could they ever get a thorough idea about anything?
I think a "generalist" would be a person who never looks past the general and makes too many assumptions about things, I've done that in certain aspects of my life when my attention to detail "bone" was being used in other (and sometimes the wrong) areas of the things going on in my life.
I also think that sometimes people use
