"Like the much larger, supermassive black holes found at galaxy centers, stellar-mass black holes have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them."

Um... unlike relatively light black holes, which also have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them, because that's why they're called black holes in the first place?

As expected, dumbed down for the uneducated masses. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

There is no such thing as 'masses'. If one takes the time to distinguish them, all people have some difference.

(Which isn't something I live up to fully. I can be petty and vengefull)

I disagree. With 6.5 billion people on this Earth, there are bound to be lots of people who are essentially the same.

'Masses' in this context simply meant 'vast majority of people'.
