Quotes - What's your favorite?

[benschmidt]

Things people like tend be fairly accurate representations of what they aspire to be, or what they value. If you post a bunch of thug quotes under a thread for favorite quotes, people will tend to jump to conclusions. This isn't always fair or accurate, but unfortunately it's a necessary part of social interaction. It can help to be mindful of how what you say may appear to others, particularly with people outside your social circle.

[benschmidt]

To the other respondents, you kind of jumped to a bit of an extreme, don't you think? That's a long way to jump on a thread that's not meant to be taken seriously.

If you would care to go back and read some of the quotes in this thread, you'll find that 98% of them are inspiring. I consider what littletoobig posted as off topic.

[benschmidt]

I agree, however, I thought the comments against littletoobig were a little too personal, particularly the jail comment from gerg. The only thing I am trying to get across here is that I would like people to take care with what they post and how they respond to others.
