Society has this weird thing with following. Lead your life and earn respect. Lead by example, not by rhetoric. Everyone is an internet hero, and a real world loser.
but i am all for not trusting public figures and calling them on their shit. you frown on that though. *shrug*

and i never said that. if you don't have people following you, there is no leading as you mentioned. that was my point.Foo wrote:

Re: Lone White Wolf
You have to accomplish something before people will follow. I am not talking of just celebrity, either. Being the best possible version of you is an accomplishment.zombie wrote:and i never said that. if you don't have people following you, there is no leading as you mentioned. that was my point.Foo wrote:

Re: Lone White Wolf
uh huh. celebrity or public exposure is only one kind of influence. but it is a larger influence than the average person has, people have always followed and been influenced by public figures of one kind or another and it's disingenous to pretend otherwise.Foo wrote:You have to accomplish something before people will follow.

Re: Lone White Wolf
Stupid people following false prophets. Again, that is the problem. Celebrity and authority have replaced parents. When there are parents around, half the time they are worried about what bar they are going to on Friday night or getting drunk/high instead of being an example for their kids.zombie wrote:uh huh. celebrity or public exposure is only one kind of influence. but it is a larger influence than the average person has, people have always followed and been influenced by public figures of one kind or another and it's disingenous to pretend otherwise.Foo wrote:You have to accomplish something before people will follow.

Re: Lone White Wolf
it is a problem. we shouldn't put so much stock into authority or public figures. and they, as authority or public figures, should not abuse the influence they have. or at least be honest about their motives and intentions.Foo wrote:

They only have the influence they are given by the sheep.

Re: Lone White Wolf
This afternoon I was driving home and passed a school bus dropping young kids off on the corner, ages around 5-7 years old. Street was a little busy because the parents were waiting to pick their kids up. As I drove past, I could smell the marijuana covering the air like a thick cloud.Foo wrote:Stupid people following false prophets. Again, that is the problem.

Re: Lone White Wolf
If Trump somehow stopped the shooter himself you'd still give him shit, and I'm not joking about this. Forgive me for taking your opinion of Trump with a grain of salt. All of your opinions. Weird how all of a sudden everyone hates the guy and calls him racist the minute he runs for president.showa58taro wrote:It’s a shit catchphrase made more hollow by a tin pot demagogue who can’t even bring himself to respond to a humanitarian crisis.Jason wrote:Shut up, ungrateful colonial.

Re: Lone White Wolf
Same to you sir. Trump could literally BE the shooter and you guys would justify his honest use of the second amendment. Every shit thing he does gets a pass, every minor “guess that wasn’t shit” gets paraded like a triumph.Jason wrote:If Trump somehow stopped the shooter himself you'd still give him shit, and I'm not joking about this.

Uh-huh, but you see, Trump wasn't the shooter. Every day for the last year the haters like you have treated him so badly as if he were the shooter.showa58taro wrote:Same to you sir.
