psa: be cautious of absolutes

[Hyde Parke]

What's is it with you and false implications and assumptions to suit your argument? I never said that Jim Jones' or Jihadists' behavior was correct behavior. I said there is nothing wrong with following, or being led because we are all followers, just as we all need oxygen to survive.

what is your definition of following? Dont play dumb here, im very alert and very aware of what is transpiring. So what do you define as following? What is the difference in what examples i gave of followers and yours? Im listening.

the jihadists, militia groups and gangbangers dont see anything wrong with following either, or else they wouldnt be doing it.

If you have been taught anything, you are following your teacher's example and lesson. This could be an instructor, a parent, or a friend. That act of following is like any other act, it can be used for good, or bad - but that act itself is neither. You can follow someone towards a righteous path, or a destructive path. Ultimately, it's your choice. But again, the act itself is neither.

so now you are spiraling off into right and wrong, righteous and destructiveness, and all other kinds of subjective stuff instead of dealing with the source of all of that. ok, got it. kool

lol. You are the one that brought up Jim Jones and Jihadist being wrong for following, not me. haha...but, okay Hyde.

i did not say they if were right or wrong, i used them as examples of following/having followers and asked you to confirm there was nothing wrong that, since you are the one who made the statement, "there is nothing wrong with being led" All they were, were examples to me.

and yeah, okay.

You were the 1st one here to slang insults, so whatever you say from this point on, is of no relevance because you've demonstrated your inability to have a discussion in a reasonable and mature manner.

lol...well sure I called you an idiot because you were acting like one with an idiotic assumption/conclusion that I don't mind being led because I agree with the threadstarter on one issue. And speaking of having an inability to have a discussion, you don't seem to. It looks as if you just want to seem like you're right on everything, (i.e., you trying to make more out of this thread than what's actually there). but either way, i'm completely fine with not having to deal with your "reasonable and mature" comments.
