I agree, and it was never my intention to do so. It would be ridiculous to stereotype any large group of people in that way.

What I believe that I can make observations of, however, is a standardized set of guidelines having a similar effect on a population of the same species, who therefore have the same psychological mechanisms, and who therefore would react similarly, in theory, to a standardized set of moral regulations. My theory is that when the attempt to regulate morality comes into conflict with biological instincts, the inevitable drive of nature will find one way or another to assert it's dominance, in one possible scenario through the development of undesiarable deviant behavior.
