Why Be a Follower? *~WiLeY~*

  Author:  4309  Category:(Debate) Created:(12/10/2001 8:24:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (371 times)

A striking question that came to me. I am sure more then just me has noticed Trends in USM. If someone gets alot of replies and respect for this kind of post I will do it too kind of thing or act that way too kind of stuff. So the begging Question to ask Why be a Follower?. If 10 people condemn someone on one post do you condemn them too?. If 15 people wrong you do you wrong someone else? What is the standard of being ourselves now?. When did it become the thing to do to put up the same type of post persay as someone else just so it can be on top too or get replies like it did too.. Or when did it become the best thing to do to just follow in with others on something just because they are all doing it.. I know.. Old age saying.. If everyone jumped off a bridge would you too... Well im starting to reconsider my old answer. I am starting to wear down myself and I truely wonder how much longer I myself will be myself? Do any of you wonder that too?

Date: 12/10/2001 8:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 3263    *sings* every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you :D  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 30743    LOL I am the least of a follower there is.. LOL Sometimes I am too headstrong.. the lion in me.. lol I notice a lot of following, but if I don't agree with something, I have in the past and will in the future state that I don't agree. If I do agree with something, I don't care if ten million people have the same thoughts, I will agree. I don't couch my opinions based on anothers unless their opinion started me to thinking. :D Good post, Love and BIG MONKEY HUGS!!!  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 3263    I wanna be like Mike! err, Wiley :p  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 3263    Seriously, though, some people need "direction". Some people need to "fit in" and by jumping on the bandwagon, they feel they are fulfilling their needs to do that. *shrug* that's my 2 1/2 cents on it :D  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    I can be a follower, sometimes.. I admit it. But I do stick up for what I BELIEVE in.  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    I do/say what I believe or what I believe in and at times that does mean following a crowd......  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    DC I love that song. LOL!  
Date: 12/10/2001 8:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 34775    Sometimes, I think it is comforting to jump on the bandwagon...there is comfot in letting someone else say things first, sometimes..but I think the majority of people end up sticking up for what they believe...innately, that is.  
Date: 12/10/2001 9:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 3263    Ooh, good point, Anabel! :D  
Date: 12/10/2001 9:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 27046    I agree with Anabel, there are just some times you want to go OMG what a flippin idiot but don't have the guts to say it, when someone else does you are like well okay they said it...everyone can beat up on us together...LOL  
Date: 12/10/2001 9:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 16061    I write what I wish when I wish it. If it seems to be following a trend well maybe it means I am not the only one to see a problem or agree in the same way. It does not mean that I am following like a sheep. Some people do to fit into the IN crowd at the moment but they will not be able to keep up with that at all. I dont write anything expecting it to be put at the top, I dont write things expecting lots of comments. I write them because things sometimes need to be said.  
Date: 12/10/2001 10:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 277    I don't wonder that at all. I always act like myself. I think a lot of the following comes from the younger crowd who are probably also feeling pressured in high school to follow.  
Date: 12/11/2001 8:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    LOL at DarkCrow. Gee, I think I'm well known here on USM for not being a follower. I say what I think is right, not just because someone else said it first.  
Date: 12/11/2001 8:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 27414    Nope! Have never followed the crowd. If I want to question a post, and have the time, I'll DO IT!...pianoman  
Date: 12/11/2001 9:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 37354    You all are obviously a bunch of non-conforming bunch of antagonists. I choose to follow. Hugo
Date: 12/11/2001 10:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 34476    Actually, I normally reply to the post, THEN read the comments. Then MAYBE I will reply more after seeing what was written. But 99.9% of the time, my true opinion will be posted FIRST no matter what ... NO following required :P  
Date: 12/11/2001 1:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    Yea RIGHT HUGO!!!! LOL  
Date: 12/11/2001 1:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 13079    Hi Wiley *hugs* I remember a time a while back when the whole front page *almost* was filled with posts either for or against the USM Angel. I didn't even want to turn the computer on, and was completely disgusted by some of the comments, and posts. I think sometimes people read a story, and figure the reply would be so long that it would be more appropriate as a post......Thats my opinion on the subject. *hugs*  
Date: 12/11/2001 9:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    yeah you gotta point but about the jumping off the bridge thing it depends on the bridge how deep that water is how fast the current is the amount of rocks i could hit um what evers living in the water stuff like that you have to tell me about  
Date: 12/11/2001 10:12:00 PM  From Authorid: 1631    Followers, martyrs and whiners...Oh My! I definitely voice my own opinion around here - always have, always will...  
Date: 12/12/2001 4:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 47700    no i put down what i want to say and my true opinion and i do not follow what other ppl say or do  
Date: 12/24/2001 8:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 34078    Sometimes I think USM is popularity contest by the looks of things to come.  
Date: 12/24/2001 8:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 34078    Don't be a follower. Listen to your instincts and to people like me.
