generalizing is something we all do,
its a art of paving the way for people to open up and participate in a more deeper sensible conversation about all types of topics and issues

Generalising means that you don't know the answer. It doesn't make you a fool. Sometimes it can be quite near the truth - in a general way - other times it can seem narrow minded - but who are we to judge?

Maybe not a fool but there's always an exception to every sweeping statement, which means most of them aren't completely true.

I generalise that everyone here on Answers has time to spare or more likely far too much time on their hands, that doesn't make me an idiot now, does it?

Yes. I do that and I pidgeon hole everybody, and I'm very aware that I'm a fool and that I'm showing myself up by doing it.

no. you need to look at their experience behind their belief and thoughts.
don't we all generalize on something? no one knows all and agrees with all.

Isn't that kinda of a broad sweeping to make?
