Irving Janis and Group think springs to mind


http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/4110/think.htm

The "illusion of invulnerability" happens when a group thinks that they cannot go wrong. Confidence among the members of the group is remarkably high and is reflected in the decisions that they make (Keil 1). A "belief in inherent morality of the group" occurs when the group thinks tremendously of their morality. The group believes that it is doing the right thing in all circumstances. "Collective rationalization" is another symptom of Groupthink. Groups who experience this believe that nothing can be wrong with their plan even if there is significant evidence to prove otherwise (Keil 2). A lack of creativity and a disregard for others' options is a characteristic of groups with "out-group stereotypes." Groups often pay little attention to what outsiders have to say, and this can be detrimental (Keil 2). "Self-censorship" occurs when group members don't share their ideas with the rest of the group because of fear of being rejected (Keil 2). The "illusion of unanimity" explains that silence can often be interpreted as acceptance. All of these are symptoms of Groupthink. If one or more of these are commonplace in a particular group, change must occur.

Trust you to take it out of context Skull, hahaha

And what does believing in God have to do with group think?

Well Stu if you knew as much as you try and make out you would be able to answer that one yourself?

Believing in God is the epitome of group think or is it a Godless morality you are on about?

A dirty little man hahaha, I wish I don't think you have to ha ha ha

I am not trying to convince anyone of anything

Do you know I dont think it's worth the effort,but the dirty wee man thing makes me laugh, I think there is obviously some form of projection there, I think I mentioned that the last time you lot tried that one, but just to remind you, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else, know what I mean as if I give a f*** what anyone thinks about me, I already know the answer to that one anyway, but thats the danger when you stick your noses into something you dont understand,cant understand, you put two and two together but you make five, it's always the way, me, I dont care about your childish threats, why dont you expand on the dirty wee man story, it's certainly been running for some time, 3 years and 8 months now, so come on Skull, tell the world about the dirty wee man in your midst, what is the crime/habit/repugnant behaviour you are talking about, dont just suggest there is something that makes me a dirty wee man, time to get this one out the way be honest and open, I prefer that to the [edited by admin] I have to put up with every night from my schizophrenic "friends"
