I can't stand it when I am listening to the radio and i hear a DJ/host ask someone "what is your opinion as a ____________?". I can't stand that.... I am a firm believer that any opinion that is held privately or publicly is formed because of the experience and knowledge of the person that forms them (as a whole). These opinions vary wildly within any one specific demographic and yet people still ask "what is your opinion as a man?" as if I have suddenly become the spokesperson for every man everywhere.... I don't have opinions "as a man", I have opinions that are mine as a person.
Admittedly this is a bit of a rant, but when I hear some inarticulate half-wit seize the opportunity to liven up an otherwise hum-drum life by exalting themselves to spew ignorance as the self appointed spokesperson for an entire demographic (whether it includes me or not) I feel the need to scream!
