Every single person in the world knows that one hundred percent of all the people from the UK know damn well to stay away from generalizations. Oh wait.

Ugh I knew somebody would bring up generalisations. Yes yes I know not every single person in Russia hates and wants to kill gay people. Ask a gay person if they would go to Russia and be openly gay without worrying about it? I doubt you would find many who would be fine with doing that. I have been to Russia many times, it is an amazing place, but I have seen how anti-gay many places in Russia are so yeah I will generalise and say the majority seem to be against gays.

You've interpreted a statistical claim about population means as a universal claim about all members of a group. That is incorrect, uncharitable, and unhelpful if your goal is discussion rather than browbeating.
