i think its because people......they want to be relevant. to fit in. dont like confrontation so they go along with the crowd..its the popular thing to say...like myna birds..if thats stupid...i guess so for some..others they dont know better..its like a fashion trend..its doesnt look good on you but you are going to wear it anyway to fit in ...to be like others...thank heavens to us who have also gone the other way...or taught to be a leader not a follower.

That is not stupid, its completely logical. There are many ppl that are followers instead of leaders....I believe that is also in the school teaching also...squash out leaders or upcoming leaders when you see them....teachers have a huge im[act on our children and we are letting them messour kids up big time....
