    So its ok to say that everbody born on 2nd June behaves in a certain way but wrong to sah that everyone born in Italy behaves in a certain way?

    I think you took it off tangent by saying racism. Little do you know.

    Maybe but its similar.

    Stereotyping people based on a prejucial assumption with little factual evidence applies to astrology and racism

    So I'm a racist. Lmfao.

    A persons behaviour can give you enough factual evidence. Especially when you ask them questions. ;) and if you know enough of them. Which I do. Many, many people can give you the evidence you need

    Btw. How can it be racist or stereotypical if you don't believe it?

    I didnt say you were racist.

    But its easy to fit behaviour to fit a stereotype whether racial or astrological.

    Especially if you ignore behaviour that doesnt fit & highlight what does.

    I don't ignore those that don't fit at all. You assume that.

    It doesn't all fit me at all. A lot does though. ;).

    I don't think he accused you of being racist.

    What at he did do was ask why stereotyping is acceptable in one form, but not another.

    Oh, and you didn't answer the question asked either... ;)

    You dont think? That could be debatable.

    It's not stereotyping in my book. ;) it's only from people I've come across (in person) who themselves have confirmed things.

    Oh. I don't need to tell him where i'm from. It's easy to find out ;). Oh and it's not up north. ;)

    He just missed out 5 words that need to go between 'guidance' and 'will'

    "and who are gullible enough"

    Well if it was in the Sun or the Star, then it might carry some weight, but the Times???

    Read by the proletariat. What would they ever know? Clearly rubbish :thumbup:

    ;)

    So what we learned so far:

    All about the patterns. No hard and fast rules, just observing behaviours and trends
    Some good input from those who who have observed their family traits and can clearly describe them :thumbup:
    Clear divide between those that follow the astronomy traits concept and reject it !

    - Geminis just keep on posting. Outspoken, love a debate, they give out their opinions regardless
    - Capricorns are occasional posters. The thread will never be about control
    - Taurus are very hard to sway from established beliefs, more uncomfortable with change
    - Virgo's are naturally OCD (detailers). Can get take things too seriously though and generate tension
    - Libra like everyone to get along. Happy to give an opinion in a crowd, can seek attention, but avoid confrontation
    - Sagittarius can be fairly blunt, honest and opinionated / 'know best' persona
    - Leos have pride and gung-ho traits, enjoy attention, but don't want drawn out confrontation

    Nothing much posted from the water signs apart from Cancers?


    As for the sceptics, opinion given but still posting? Concerned that they're missing something? Also various new entrants seen on the thread!

    Lots reading in - thread views are astronomic :p
