I always assumed that Texas A&M fans would be the ones with little brother syndrome, but it’s clear that Texas fans are severely inflicted with LBS over Aggie. It’s weird, but I probably shouldn’t be surprised at the keep Austin weird, do better, dildo carrying crowd.

WOW!
I think I may have hit a nerve on this one!
Let's pick it apart:
Actually it all started about 4 months ago when you posted this definition of a cult
Then about 20 minutes later, I fired back with this:
Today, you come out with something new that most people on here won't even understand. I am pretty sure you don't even understand most of it.
You do realize that less than 35% of all incoming freshmen attend Fish Camp.
Half the people in the country who follow college football praised JFF. He won the Heisman in his freshman season! This has to be one of the dumbest statements you have ever made. How is UTrans devotion to Arch Manning any different other than the fact that JFF actually won the Heisman his freshman year and Arch has not done a damn thing.
This all started on 12/12/25. That's a little over 4 months ago. Did you forget your meds again today? I guess 4 months may seem like a year ago to someone your age.
You really should just quit on this one. You are just making it worse on yourself.
I am actually starting to fell sorry for you.
JUST KIDDING!

Let's pick it apart:
quote:

Actually it all started about 4 months ago when you posted this definition of a cult
quote:
The three core characteristics of a cult often center on an authoritarian leader demanding unquestioning loyalty, a system of thought control/coercive persuasion (brainwashing) to suppress doubt, and the systematic isolation and exploitation (financial, emotional, sexual) of members, creating an "us-vs-them" mentality where the group's ends justify harmful means. >>>>[>
I can break it down for you Buster if you like.
Then about 20 minutes later, I fired back with this:
quote:
And just how exactly does A&M fit that description? Donghorn U fits that definition just as well as A&M or any other university.
quote:
I can break it down for you Buster if you like.
quote:
justify harmful means.
Exactly what "harmful means" are we trying to justify?
quote:
the systematic isolation and exploitation of members,
What is our method of "systematic isolation and exploitation of our members"?
quote:
a system of thought control/coercive persuasion (brainwashing)
Exactly how are we brainwashing?
quote:
authoritarian leader
Who is our authoritarian leader?
Remember, this is your definition. You had no idea of the definition of a cult until I forced you to google it. Couldn't even put in in your own words.
Today, you come out with something new that most people on here won't even understand. I am pretty sure you don't even understand most of it.
