Group Think

While everybody's looking for a justification for suicide bombers and terrorism, I'll add my two cents: group think. Those people are manipulated. The solution is to open the group to new perspectives, to confront their rationale to other people's view. It's to break the isolation of those groups, to include them in our debates.

How many times have you seen a group at a meeting start to make ridiculous decisions. I won't share names, but it did happen to me all too often. It's ridiculous how people are eager to please the group and want to appear as leaders by having their opinions adopted. They only suggest things that will be accepted. They avoid contradictory arguments or just facts that don't fit the group. Those people are weak, but they can set the tone. As ridiculous as it may be.

Even an isolated group of slaves could start talking against liberty.
