Stereotyping - I think so!

This was last week's front page on New Statesman. I'm told it's meant to be Angela Merkel as Terminator - offensive enough, but I thought it was 7 of 9, the Borg from Star Trek - and I found the suggestion she's a mindless clone even more offensive.

Of course, lots of us complained and an article has appeared this week rebuking NS for its racial stereotyping (it hasn't gone down well in Germany) and giving the German point of view of the Eurozone crisis

Question: at what point do intelligent people talk without insulting each other?

    This question is part of what bothers me about the discussions so far on Scottish independence: up till now I've heard a whole lot of insulting going on.
