Hi Checkers, If you mean the "warm and fuzzy" kind, a follower and ready to forgive and forget. No! Am I to fall for the religious overtone of the video. No! You can be sure that I don't need the advice of this lady to form my opinions, make decisions in my life and recognize absurdities. No one has to have a religion to be "nice" and as to the effects of political correctness, you have been subject to it with your deadbeat renter in Germany. Hail to the E.U! To me, being a political, societal or religious sheep equates to be a sheep.

Hi Merri,
It is not intended in that context, Merri. It was meant for people who believe every political lie, manipulation from the powers to be in society and the religious ideologies taking advantage of people goodness and faith. When they make decisions for your own good, something is wrong here.
I think again people have missed the point she was trying to make and that is in the quest for being nice we tend to accept all sorts of evil things. Take Jesus out of the mix and just think of good vs evil and it makes sense

And it took her 17 minutes of waffle to tell us what 99% of people already know. Okay,they might not practice it,but they proberly know it.

I believe in Christ not religions And I believe nothing until the politicians deny it. If you read the New Testament and dont pay attention to the idiot Scofield IE Scofield study bible you can see that Jesus didnt like politics or religion either. And he wasnt "Nice" to everyone all the time either.
I respect your beliefs Checkers and this is not an attack on them in any way. What I do not respect are Imams who find some susceptible young man and send them to blow themselves up, killing some innocents in the process to serve their own greed for political power and their own skewed ideologies. That also goes for any man of the cloth inciting hatred toward others.

Again I could not AGREE more, a persons spiritual beliefs can be used to manipulate them as in RELIGION.
I really hadnt meant this to be a religious poll I just found it an interesting point to ponder "Is being "" nice IE being agreeable all the time a anti-virtue
