The old saying "When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME", is true and we all do it, unfortunately.
Don't we make certain assumptions about TEENAGERS, LIBERALS, CONSERVATIVES, ATHEISTS, OLD PEOPLE, CORPORATIONS, POLITICIANS, LAWYERS, ETC.
Be honest, what assumptions have you made recently that are probably not 100% accurate?
I make assumptions that most posters lie.

You mean posters like Jim Morrison Rocks is a lie??
Well I am glad you discovered that to be a lie.
My assumptions I found to be unfounded in the end,
Most folks from certain countries have criminal tendancies.
All people who deal with the legal profession abide by strict codes always.
Women are the weaker sex
Media is always correct.
Need I go on.

I assume there is a reason for this thread. I'm kidding, Lon!
I have a hard time with the line between positive thinking (everything will be ok) and assuming the worst about people who have, quite frankly, behaved badly towards me.

All negative assumptions about conservative Christians, Jewish settlers, Miami Cubans, white supremacists and gangsta rappers are correct. All of these people are human garbage and should be denied the right to marry or breed. Just my opinion!

Yuck!!
What makes you any better than the white supremecist? They hate based on color. You appear to hate based on politics. Hate is hate. The reason for hate does not make one group more or less noble than another. Just something to think about.

I assume too much that people always have good intentions. I'm less and less disappointed these days than I used to be when I was younger.
