Oh, you are in THAT group…No matter the topic, the easy answer is always to throw dirt on a group; cops, lawyers, preachers, teachers, old folks, liberals, lgbtq or whatever, men, women, etc. No single group is full of bad folks, just the few that give the group the bad press.
I have known, worked with, associate with pretty much every “group” individuals I can think of, and have encountered a few of those “bad apples”, but the vast majority of people I’ve known have been good folks. We may not have agreed on everything but overall I’m glad I’ve known them.
I try to look at individuals not what group I might try to put them in.
