    every linguistic statement is a generality. by your own logic, you can't ever speak. because everything you sad is 'wrong and bad'. you ipso facto must disagree with every statement you make if you hold that position.

    'penguins eat fish' is a generality. apparently you find that very upsetting to you? lol

    See now you are just being disengenous. I was specific with "all x are/have y".

    and i was specific with the fact hippies are all well-off people who don't need to work for a living.

    again, where are the working-class hippies? oh right, there are none.

    in order to be able to not work, you have to have independent wealth.

    this is just another generalization and untrue. all hippies where well off people who did not not need to work for a living. patently false like all generalizations regardless of immigrant, jew, black, boomer, hispanic, gay, straight, hippie, etc, etc.
