Yes, read all about it. These two are a microscopic segment of our military population who have been latched onto by those who wish to discredit our military and their mission. Fortunately, the majority of the populace are thinking, reasoning people who understand that there are a few bad  in all groups.

BIAS STEMS FROM A LACK OF EDUCATION AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER FAITHS AND CULTURES! ALSO PEOPLE FORGET THAT OPINION IS NOT FACT AND EXPECTING EVERYONE TO LIVE BY ONE NARROW MINDED VIEW IS WHAT STOPS PROGRESS! \n\nWE LIVE IN A SOCIETY OF MULTI CULTURES, SHOULD WE NOT, AS A SOCIETY, BE MORE ACCEPTING OF OUR NEIGHBOUR? WE SHOULD BE EMBRACING DIFFERENCES INTEAD OF FEARING THEM!\n\nEVERY LIVING BEING HAS THE SAME INSIDE SO WHY DO WE CONCERN OURSELVES WITH THE OUTER IMAGE! I MEAN WOULD YOU BUY A MAGAZINE AND JUST STARE AT THE COVER?   NO!! YOU OPEN THE PAGES AND DELVE INTO THE INTERESTING CONTENTS!\n\nWE SHOULD ALL BE LOOKING DEEPER THAN THE OUTER LAYER AND ENJOYING WHAT IS IN THE MINDS AND HEARTS OF OUR FELLOW MAN!

Some people want to rule the World because, There is a deep unconscious divide between Exceptance & Unexceptance. ome people want to achieve more thatn other people because there is not just satisfaction but, a great need to want to be better & more reliable to other people. Some of these people are actually positive people that have positive agenda's. There is nothing wrong w/wanting to rule in who's or whatever world they choose but, the reall World has never been ruled just by One Individuall.The rest of the people that remain content have already looked into those posibilities but know that just being content is a whole lot to ask for anyway's. If there were more Millionaries in the World than Poor people, then I guess that means that there would not be a need for Poor People. I'm Poor but, I'd rather be content then because there is a whole lot more to do in this World than rule it.

The question practically answers itself.\n\nBut as others have pointed out, only some do, so only some are lunatics.

Most problems of generalization stem slightly from emotional laziness.  People assume that becuase they met one X-person, that all X-people are like that.  It is easier to do that than to be open-minded with everyone you meet.  In order to be open-minded, you must be confident enough to admit when you are wrong...most racists will not listen to others or consider other points of view.  I believe it is because they are afraid that they might be proven wrong.  \n\nI see the same problem with politics.  Not all Republicans are bad and not all Democrats are bad, but people meet one extremist and then assume that they are all the same.  Then they hate everyone from that group.  There are billions of people that want peace, happiness, and what's best for the world...but we assume that our rivals are always out to hurt or deceive us.

Because they're brainwashed themselves, so they think they need to brainwash other people.  Luckily not everyone is capable of being brainwashed, so that we can have some free thinkers in this world.

Because they are 'right' and the rest of us are 'wrong'.  They can't accept that people think differently than them is all.  So they think they are the 'rightous ones' and it inflates thier vanity and ego.

Most people seem to take it personally when a conflicting viewpoint is brought up.  It can be so frustrating when people are blatantly disregarding viewpoints.  I have trouble when I am trying to have a rational discussion with someone and they are obviously not looking at the merits of my own argument and just see it as an attack on themselves.    What are you supposed to do when someone is being completely closed minded and willfully ignorant?  It's difficult.\n\nThere is no more rational discourse or comprimise, only two sides of which you need to pick one.  People aren't even expected to be able to back up their own beliefs as much as attack others' beliefs blindly.  I feel your pain, and hopefully there will be a time when this can change.

Human's are ego driven. They ask questions (sometimes), not to get the truthful answer, but to get attention. They want responces that tailor themselves to an image that they already have of themself. Answering otherwise conflicts with their personal beliefs.\n\nAnd don't get me wrong. But this world is FILLED with people who have problems when others conflict with their personal beliefs.\n\nSome people just live blind... who need to OPEN THEIR EYES.

There are a lot of closed-minded people in the world. They want people to hear their opinion, but don't have time for others. It really is a shame, because its not just "everyday people" who act like this, but politicians - all across the spectrum - that do as well.

What one believes is their "perception" of reality. Everyones' reality, or perception of, is different. So, if they believe it to be true then for that individual it is. Most ppl look at things in a subjective manor. The trick is teaching them how to do both,so they may draw a more realistic conclusion, or one that is a bit more accepted by society in general... Just a thought.

because they are stupid, ignorant or both

I hope I am wrong, but I think many of them are really that ignorant and close minded.  And they want someone to agree with them, without being given criticising looks by those who disagree, so they post their stupid questions here while no one can see their faces.

Because many people feel that it is morally wrong to be bisexual or a lesbian. If course much of that feeling is based in their opinions about their own sexuality ("I'm straight therefore everyone has to be straight").

Not everybody is like that...but a lot of people are.  They think their way is the right way, and the only way.  We call those kind of people close-minded.  Good Luck in your life.....

There is this wonderful phenomenon called a bell curve.  There are some at an extreme on either side.  Just as there are smart, there are stupid, and a pile of us in-between thar are on dangerous ground of being one side or the other of that invisible line in the middle marking those who are sort-of-smart and sort-of-stupid.  Careful there.
