[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 949194, member: 22662"] [b]Re: Obamabastic !![/b] Peer pressure? Also known as "herd mentality". Nobody "came up with" it. It's being part of a culture but not a slave to it as Hannity would have you believe. I associate on a daily basis with lecherous individuals in AA. Doesn't mean I act as they do or even believe as they do. But then that association is one that is generally seen as a "positive" one. So people assume a certain belief, lifestyle, or attitude based on an association that may have no basis in reality whatsoever. Soberups and myself are probably a good example of that. I think we probably have some similar experiences and exposures, but I think have very differnt outlooks on a wide range of topics. Nothing wrong with that. Simply points out that conclusions based on associations and exposure are rarely accurate. [/QUOTE]
