Rediff Comments and Sterotyping

Today I was reading news on rediff and then I did the unthinkable. I decided to read the comments left by readers for this rediff report

Really unfortunate is the complete lack of any sort of insightful thinking...Even more depressing is to see the sort of communal pigeonholing and complete religious sterotyping and posturism that these ppl adopt and that too on a public domain footing. For a second I told myself I did a bad sampling....That I should read the comments for atleast a few posts rather than judge by this single report...I went ahead and read a few more and found that the lack of any understanding of the issues involved or even worse the lack of any real effort to undesratnd the issues involved struck me as plain dangerous.

I urge you all to read some comments on popular reports in rediff and surprise urself. Even assuming that the ppl commenting on rediff are not representative of the entire population, it still remains a scary thought that there are all these scores of people who think that it is alright and completely acceptable to carry such sterotyping in their heads and even go forward and confess their beliefs and given the opportunity would be happy to spread it too.

There should be an organized and informed attempt to somehow somewhere address this issue and I dont see it coming anywhere...

And whats more, I was totally shocked by this and turned over and lamented about this for a couple of minutes....His response
Silence for 30 seconds followed by "What are you doing for lunch?"

and thats what prompted this post !!!
