Title describes it all: Do you agree with the majority?

Yes or no?
macmert
Why do you ask? Are you some kind of CIA or KGB agent try to find out the rebellion minority and use the brain control techniques on us so we can be mindless thralls, always obeying the rules and regulations set by the government???

biggrin.gif Anyway yes I agree the majority, please dont abduct me and use me as a lab rat and run some tests Mr. Highly Classified Agent... I dont want to die!!!

Agree with the majority of what? lemmings? republicans? liberals? Americans? Europeans? Gamers? Left handed bald rugby players with red headed girlfriends? There are many majorities to choose from, I agree with some, disagree with some and could care less about others. no.gif yes.gif wacko.gif

And, Agree with the majority about what? religion? games? renting vs owning? Bill Gates? Tuesday?
Yes, No and sometimes, but not entirely. But on the other hand, I have five fingers and a thumb. whistling.gif

As I am the only one of me, I agree completely with the majority that comprises me alone. cool.gif
bben46
double post - sorry bout that.

Yes, when I agree with the majority...
No, when not

Edit: But I know what you meant, better you told the fashion, or normal... yet again the answer is the same. I agree only what I deem correct, better or worthy by myself. Indeed most of the fashion things seems, at least to me, plain boring, not functional or just stupid.

Edit 2: I avoided using the word "right" there because it has been divorced from the correct, the fair and the just.

I believe what I believe. If that happens to be what the majority believes, so be it.

And what MB said. thumbsup.gif
einhander888
To go off of what Bben46 said, I agree with what i want to agree with and what i dont want to agree with i spit and fight to argue my point why i dont agree.

I come from a family of rebelious people. i am no pushover and people cant convince me whence i have convinced myself whether what not is right or wrong or whatever.

So my answer is this: To me there is no majority. Only me and my life......Except maybe my wife. She is the majority. So in that sence I would have to say yes. But when it comes to other things, there is one thing that i know i have, and that is a choice. So if i choose to go with the majority does that make me and every other person in that majority an idiot? And if i go against the majority does that make me stupid. nope. Makes me, me. an individual, and a happy one at that, cause i know i make my own choices.

I have even broken the law just to avoid what the majority "belives" is right for me. because i had a choice. in my world i am absoulutly free........with in the boundries of the law. And sometimes i take a step or two outside of it, and dont get caught...........okay i gotta run now.

Why thank you. It seems that you are one the first to realise the point of this topic. A kudos to you for that. smile.gif

I don't agree with, trust the, nor do I beleive in the majority.

If i did maybbe i would learn to spell.

But as you cna see i don't, anywy the idea of having more people agree with you than the numbr of people who agree with the other option is redundant. As there are never only two options. There are always 126 diffrent choices you could make. sometimes more but 99% of the time this applies to at leat 95% of those times.

in the meantime ponder these, please.

They say 3 percent of the people use 5 to 6 percent of their brain
97 percent use 3 percent and the rest goes down the drain
I'll never know which one I am but I'll bet you my last dime
99 percent think we're 3 percent 100 percent of the time

64 percent of all the world's statistics are made up right there on the spot
82.4 percent of people believe 'em whether they're accurate statistics or not
I don't know what you believe but I do know there's no doubt
I got too much to think about

Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It's too much to think about

They say 92 percent of everything you learned in school was just bull you'll never need
84 percent of everything you got you bought to satisfy your greed
Because 90 percent of the world's population links possessions to success
Even though 80 percent of the wealthiest 1 percent of the population
Drinks to an alarming excess
More money, more stress

84 percent of all statisticians truly hate their jobs
They say the average bank robber lives within say about 20 miles of the bank that he robs
There's this little bank not far from here I've been watching now for a while
Lately all I can think about's how bad I wanna go out in style

but then again
It's too much to think about
It's too much to think about

Bonus points to anyone who knows where that comes from.
doomjockey
I think I see where this is going, but I wonder if it will spawn a worthy debate at all.

Anyway, the question as it stands is entirely pointless.
freddycashmercury
I've seen something similar before, so I recognized the question, but I couldn't resist writing something.

And what doomjockey said.
Marxist ßastard
Dear lord, we're at five votes now. This is just too perfect.
htone
The only majority i agree with...is sexual one...

SO most of the time I do disagree with with majority..brainwashed followers...
we could talk bout politics...Im for Ron Paul...n he's already out...or for example tv...i hate most of the popular tv shows n other populars typa things...or.. fashion...never follow it...really don't care wat whoeva thinks bout it..got my own style...that proper to me...
I could state a hundred other things in here...but i think ive already proved my point...f-word the majority!(didn't mean to offense anyone...really...)
Marcus Wolfe
Usually, the majority is dumber than me, so....no.
Sharkull
Do I agree with any majority because of the majority position? No. I form my own opinions based on the information available to me... I do not routinely substitute the judgment of others for my own (I trust myself more than most "majorities").
Marxist ßastard
Okay, now we're getting slightly ridiculous here. Are mods playing around with the votes?
Halororor
Yes and no, I only agree with the majority if we are voting on something I suggested or if I am the majority(duh!)
freddycashmercury
Every single person who voted in the poll is wrong. Hahaha.

I apologize immensely, but I just couldn't stand seeing the poor people make a spectacle out of themselves.
Sativarg
LoL

Hypocrisy abounds and I voted no just to prove that point...LOL
imapain
lol the majority is no so therefore this is a trick question... odd...
dezdimona
who decides what comprises a majority? The news media? Poll Takers that ask questions with no true answer?. You? Me? Anyone? I know in my own opinions what I believe in.And that makes me a majority of one!
worm82075
No, I don't agree with the majority, the majority agrees with me.
Thanodai
Well, since the majority of people who have voted do not agree with the majority, than the one who voted 'yes' must not agree with the majority, as the majority has voted no. But then, the self-admission made by said person does agree with the majority that doesn't agree with the majority. Hence, all those who have voted yea or nay all agree with the majority. Such a twisted web has been woven that becomes a spiraling black hole of hypocrisy.

Thusly, I decline to cast my vote, as I wish to believe that I am not a hypocrite. Therefore, by refusing to vote, and adding my silence to a growing number of people, who will become the majority, I have agreed with the majority, and proven myself a hypocrite.

Vote, yes, no or not at all. You are the majority, and a hypocrite.


...or I could be over-analyzing. unsure.gif

about you,but then thats a majority question, which makes this topic a minority as there is no majority to decide on an outcome of nothing!
Wrath_Of_Deadguy01
No, I don't... except when I do.

Well played indeed. smile.gif

The obvious question that would follow a topic like this would be: "Why do you agree with the majority?" In which case, I would have to answer "coincidence of opinion" as a majority is never right merely for being the majority.
stephanie
I've found that usually a 'majority' has a hidden agenda and wants control of everything, so I stay away from them.

Ohh .. I voted no ..
