skeptic 997 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lemmings don't actually suicide off cliffs' date=' that's a myth.[/quote'] Like many things in our everyday rhetoric, it has become more or less a fixture in the lexicon of analogies for stupid or ignorant actions.

qwazse 4345 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I prefer to avoid the expression because it is no mere myth, but a Disneyfication: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=wildlifenews.view_article&articles_id=56 It seems like the the run-off-the-cliff is better depicted by certain flightless bipeds.

Stosh 3452 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 How can it be defined as inclusiveness when it divides, fragments and alienates? Gottal love the hypocrisy of the liberals...say one thing and do the opposite. It's kinda like the scandal riddled administration we currently have that touts transparency... Reminds me of the Emperor's new clothes.... Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
