crazy posse

ok. something that i'm kinda scared about is...being unjustly bias. and a way to be like that is by surrounding yourself with a crazy posse of people. what i mean when i say "crazy posse" is...pretty much, a whole shit ton of people who all have the same ideas. i mean like EXACTLY the same. and when you bring up something, they're all agreeing and it just makes the idea or standpoint on the subject even more bias.

ok, that doesn't make sense. so i'll do an example :D

say, you like puppies. and whenever you say "i like puppies" your friends and family are also like "omg! i like puppies too!" "puppies are awesome" "puppies!!" then it just reinforces your love for puppies. and puppies are amazing and all, but if they're all you know, and they're all you and your people talk about, how will you ever know the joys of kitties? in fact, you might even become bias against kitties and start saying shit like "puppies are better than kitties any day" "my puppy is better than your kitty" "anyone who likes kitties are stupid and don't know what's good" now...puppies or kitties aren't better than the other, it's a preference. kitties are better for some people, and puppies are better for others. that's all there is. but, you can still get it in your head that one IS better than the other, not just for you, but for the world.

and that's pretty darn scary isn't it??

i mean like...how could you be friends with someone you disagree with ALL THE TIME? but that doesn't mean that you should be friends with someone who does agree with you all the time. if all your friends agree on something, then something's wrong. (of course, there's always that ONE friend whose gotta play devil's advocate, and frankly, that person gets really annoying)

i mean, i get pretty paranoid sometimes. like...sometimes i go over conversations and then i get a freaked out like "holy shit! we're a crazy posse!" but..i hope we're not? i mean...i realize that i rant and bitch about people all the time, but i hope that none of you guys will like...judge them until you've kinda met them for yourselves, because when i'm ranting, i'm really emotional and i may exaggerate a lot of things, so give that person some benefit of the doubt when i'm ranting :D
