I strongly condole the death of the black guy and i am strongly against racism but looting and burning property is a serious crime too and that too with innocent people suffering, i hope laws are made more strict and racism vanishes completely from our planet. Nice Mytake.
some people make posts justifying this horrid behavior based on the behavior of polices... wrong is wrong... wrong is never justified... vandalism in society is never justified... but these events are full of bussed in Aholes paid for by one world govt bois
One time a six year old girl in my country accused a 49 year old man of molesting her. Soon a mob formed, grabbed the man, and beat him to death. Days later at least two individuals I spoke to said that the man had been innocent and not touched the girl.
I agree, a peaceful march might have had a more respected impact but what i will say is those 4 white police officers are probably scared sh#tless right now and hopeful that will count for something
@AndrewMG she's here if you see that toast dude anywhere we tag each other please. The stalking is over and we can't allow that to happen again to her please tag me anyway
Hey, @OlderAndWiser. In this thread, it sounds to me like this Wow Girl person alleges some user who dubbed himself Toast stalked another user. Stalking is a very serious allegation, that and she's talking about a woman as if she's a 12-year-old girl. This is an anonymous platform, so I don't know the real identity of anybody using @GirlsAskGuys. Stalking seems like a stretch to me. What do you think, @AndrewMG? What's the context that motivated these remarks?
@xXHamsterHeartXx Call me cynical but I'm intrigued why as a newcomer to this forum you've decided to use your first post to discuss such a random topic, or maybe it's not so random. I've a feeling you're not being anywhere near as subtle as you think you are and to tag me in thinking that I'm actually that naïve is slightly insulting.
I'm not trying to be condescending, @AndrewMG. Stalking is a serious allegation to make against another user. There are posting guidelines that discourage people from posting negatively about other users. She posted a Take earlier today that struck me as kinda odd, so I read some of her other posts. The behavior she exhibits strikes me as odd, at times. Portions of this take were pretty much copy + paste from other articles online. By no means I am trying to suggest you're naive; not my intention. That said, this is a public platform, so I'm free to post where I like. Nothing I said violates the terms of use of this site.
@xXHamsterHeartXx I've not read the take that you reference-that's what working a 12 hour day does for you-what I'm saying is you taking a personal interest in it and responding how you have and with the style of writing/grammar etc makes me think that maybe there's a little self interest at heart... I really don't think I need to spell what I'm saying out to you. Take it from me I don't think this is the right approach mate. I'm saying this as a nice guy who understands why you may be frustrated, annoyed, misunderstood at the reaction to previous posts etc but creating an alias and trying to cause conflict is not a sensible way forward. Take care, Toast.
@WowwGirl @1828avaava1828 -he deactivated his account after my reply, I almost feel guilty-I don't think he's a bad lad necessarily I just think there's a few issues that probably come out when he's on social media/talking to strangers/put in certain social situations. No matter how much people try there true personality will come out over time on social media hence it was so easy to spot almost straight away who it was that tagged me in. Jeez, I need to be more ruthless, I feel guilty for outing him so quickly.
@WowwGirl It's a good point well made lol, I've had a 12 hour day at work though which has involved people shouting abuse at me so at the end of my shift I can't be doing with taking that out on a stranger on the internet, hence my compassionate side came out! lol
We love your big heart but that guy picked the way he wanted to go and that was harrassing and scarring us. Actually you probably were much nicer than myself would be so you kinda helped him not get emotional castrated by me
@1828avaava1828 Awwww, I promised I'd look out for you, but I was surprised how easy our friend made it (despite him changing sexuality! lol), to be honest I'd had a 12 hour shift at work and logged on to find a total stranger wanted to talk about yourself, me and WowGirl so without being Sherlock Holmes I kinda worked out what was happening.
Hey, @AndrewMG: I suggest you read through some of the comments people leave behind on the posts this @WowwGirl makes. I'm not the only one who thinks she has a bad attitude. (And, @WowwGirl, the only reason that Ava girl decided she didn't like me was because I told you off in an angry response; that's what happened). You get yourself into conflicts with people on this platform quite a bit; that's a good sign that you should take some time for a good self-reflection.
I believe "group thinking" is simply an updated term for "mob rule", which has been around since the beginning of time. It takes a strong person to stand up to it.
"Group think is bad unless someone disputes the accuracy of something I say! I will question the credentials of someone who makes a point I dislike, especially when they question the accuracy of something I say" Portions of this article were copy + paste from a Psychology Today article; that's plagiarism. Her education is deficient. Example of Plagiarism: The remark, "The term was first introduced in the November 1971 issue of Psychology Today, in an article by psychologist Irving Janis", came literally from an online article about Group Think. Whether it goes against the guidelines for @GirlsAskGuys is another question. And, besides, just because the first person to do clinical research into the Group Think concept did their work in the early '70s doesn't mean the group think concept wasn't discussed in various forms before then. The Two Minutes of Hate, which appears in George Orwell's 1984 (published in 1948), illustrates quite well the negative consequences of group think theory. Don't need a degree in psychology to discuss the origins of group think theory.
What's the policy on plagiarism on this website, @OlderAndWiser? I personally think it does a disservice to this platform when people copy + paste from other sources online when writing a "My Take". There's a lot to be desired with posts like this.
That's fine, @OlderAndWiser. This is an informal site, so it isn't like it's a major issue either way. That said, I personally think it does a disservice to the website when people fail to acknowledge their sources when writing an article like this. Some of the points Wow Girl makes in this article are reasonable and justified. I agree with some of the things she said. Plagiarism weakens the merits of a person's arguments, nonetheless. The way she responded to the original comment in this thread seems misguided to me. Don't need a psychology degree to appreciate that the origins of the "Group Think" theory might extend beyond the origins of clinical research. But, anyhow, I'm just going off on a tangent here.
@AndrewMG, I suggest you read through the first few posts to this particular thread. Someone points out that the concept of Group Think was addressed as part of George Orwell's 1984. Although, clinically, group think was discussed in psychology literature no earlier than 1984, the subject was mentioned earlier than that, in various forms, in popular culture. It was published in 1948, not long after the end of WWII. Nazi-era Germany was notorious for what is now known as group think. Wow Girl tries to discredit this guy by asking, "Do you have a psych degree?" It reads to me like, "Group think is bad unless you disagree with my opinion".
"You questioned the accuracy of something I said. Do you have a degree?" -- This isn't the first time I've seem a remark like this. It seems like Wow Girl doesn't like people disagreeing with her. "Group think is bad unless people disagree with me!"
Let me give you a little hint, @WowwGirl: You've got an attitude problem. Asking, "Do you have a Master's degree?", oozes arrogance and narcissism. Besides, a significant portion of this article was copy + paste from a Psychology Today article; that's plagiarism. For someone with so much education, I'd think you'd paraphrase, even on a site like this. Perhaps you should learn how not to be so patronizing toward people; that'll take you a long way (and, yes, that's the reason why so many people bad mouth you on this platform). I came back just to tell you you're an idiot with a chip on your shoulder. You needn't bother responding because I will be off this platform by the time you sign back in. This site is so chalk full of bogus ads anyway.

Group think=complicity and guilt by association.
Group think can be such a problem sometimes.
on the other hand collective consciousness has great potential!!
life is wild

I agree, a peaceful march might have had a more respected impact but what i will say is those 4 white police officers are probably scared sh#tless right now and hopeful that will count for something

Don't I would have anyway. How about don't act fucking crazy to the point you worry us and there wouldn't be a issue... How about that?

i've never heard of it, but it sounds like mob mentality
Same thing
The origin of the term Groupthink was the George Orwell novel 1984.
Do you have a psych degree?
@WowwGirl
No, but I read 1984, which was published in 1948. The word appears in that book.
Sure
@WowwGirl
If you have not read 1984 and Brave New World your education is deficient.
Sure.

Nice take owly birdee, only smart people knows how to think by themselves and won't be led by anyone blindly.
Thanks Mr Metal I agree
Your welcome 🦉
#WowGirlRocks.
Ur right u DO rock and u have also written an amazing MyTake 👏👏👏👏
Sounds like your saying that they are doing it because of peer pressure. I really don't think much of psychology. Quackery, psuedo science.
Some groups good things can be done an others try to destroy the good that's been done to change things
Yep! The mob is only as smart as the dumbest person.
It is best to get groups of people to gather and think instead of think alone.
Group thinking is a bad idea nice analysis
Thank you
Interesting. Good take
It's also called solidarity. Good read.
Great Take.
I'll be damn. I didn't know you could speak to wowgirls till right now😎
And thank you sir I appreciate it
@ThisIsMyOpinion
Thank you
4 white guys? You sure about that?
Very got a degree in it actually.
Seems to can get a degree in anything these days!
"You questioned the accuracy of something I said. Do you have a degree?" -- This isn't the first time I've seem a remark like this. It seems like Wow Girl doesn't like people disagreeing with her. "Group think is bad unless people disagree with me!"
Why don't you have a master's then?
@xXHamsterHeartXx wow girl doesn't like no it all's and whinny men I'm Wrong all the time and don't care to be. Being Wrong is how you learn
