>What a crock of utter and complete nonsense. If you isolated the simple statements of fact then this article would still be a long and enjoyable read, but instead i am assaulted with corresponding insane ranting; accusations against huge swaths of people that are totally unsupported.

This sounds more like a "totally unsupported" claim that what the article suggests. And even if that was the case, it would show the same stereotyping done by the parents as the article already suggests.
