I tend to make decsions for myself. If people, friends or otherwise, want me to believe something but decide I am not privy to the facts it is not likely I am going to take sides in a matter solely on their say so.

I have found when a person is trying to make a loyalty play it is rarely going to turn out them being loyal to anyone but themself.

With virtually any situation subject to manipulation it is often hard to settle in on only one conclusion. When I see someone trying to make a particular conclusion accepted I want to know why.

Because I strictly avoid being drawn into other people's contests the people I know don't generally try that kind of game with me.

What I have seen in watching other people doing it is seems to give some sense of power and control and really isn't as much about the ultimate turn out as it is the game. A game that can go way back to rounds that happened years before. Basiclly gradeschool and high school all over again.

I'm beginning to wonder if Peccy or Mirror took over Kristi..

What amazes me is when some will say anything about a person, site or product just to get others to follow them. And then those that add to it and don't have the full facts as well.....

Myself if someone tells me something I will check it out and get the facts before I jump through hoops and play follow the leader. I've always been one that I will research or come right out and ask to answer any questions I may have..... Never have I took another word as total truth no matter how well I know them. I may consider what they have said but have never let that alone make me change my mind on anything I do within my life......

Lmao, hell I'm too long winded for either of them to keep up with me

Yep, sounds exactly like gossip to me too!

People love gossip and most will not bother to find out the real story. They'll just follow what their friends do.

so whatcha think I should do?

Keep ya butt planted right where it is and stick around there maybe fire works to watch later hehehehe....

I was once told by someone on this site..

Don't talk to so and so
Don't talk to this one. Or that one because....
( made them sound really bad!)

But now that I know them. They are not bad at all!! In fact really nice people
That one person was disgruntled so they lied and gossiped

Thank god I learned my lesson!!

Weather it's person. Place. Or thing. Check the facts yourself!!

It depends upon my relationship with the person. My parents I wouldnt question because I have never been given a reason to. Most other people, I would ignore it until I saw for myself.

That is funny said by some one called Gossip

I do not believe ANYTHING that I dont have at least some proof of, maybe its because I work for a newspaper, but to many people like to spread rumors before they verify they are fact!!

Haha

The only people who know why I AM REALLY called gossipmpm is my daughters!!

No speculations please!!! Just the facts!!!!

it depends.

there are about 3 or 4 'internet' friends whose word i wouldn't question.

I think your facts are AWESUME!!!

I only base it on what I am reading

Haha

Yours are too!!!

I think that everyone takes other people into account when doing, saying the things that they say or do. I'm not saying that what other people think dictates someones actions exactly, but there is some form of influence. Culture and society. Gotta love it.
