I've always wondered this as well. Absolutes are very nearly never true, yet using the bandwagon fallacy is hard to avoid. I almost used two in this comment already! Your poem's personification of everyone reminds me of this one paper I had that came with a small lock-box that I bought. It had a tale of four people (everyone, someone, anyone and no-one) having an argument.

Cool.
So I'm not the Only One (who is actually the mysterious FIFTH brother, BTW), who has had those thoughts? ;)

Everyone has pondered this. Don't you know anything about anything? XD

I know nothing about nothing. :P

Too freaking often!

If you have teenage children, you probably hear about 'Everyone' so much, it sounds like a Holy-Roller screaming JAY-SUS-UH!!! :P

My son is 19!

Actually he is quit level headed and has always seemed mature beyond his years. I actually don't recall him ever saying 'everyone' ever. Though yesterday while on my way home from the movies, upon seeing the new tattoo parlor in our small Iowa town, stated that 'many' of his friends have gotten tattoos. *Oh God* I was about to respond when he continued and asked why anyone would get something like that when they more than likely would regret it later in life. He seems to think ahead and recognizes possible consequences. I think there's hope for him. :)

That's excellent news. Especially if he's been able to avoid many of the Generation Y stereotypes. :P

"Every freedom loving person condemns the Donbass separatists as terrorists." I'll see quotes similar to this quite a lot from politicians and other people who support the Kiev government. The politicians seem to have persuaded their people with blatant lies. A lot of people simply do not bother to do any research, or they just don't care. And now, the Ukrainian Civil War will intensify due to Washington's increasing support for Kiev. Why are the Ukrainians the heroes, and the Donbass separatists the villains? Shouldn't a group of people have the right to secede if they are dissatisfied with their government? Sorry if this seems like a tangent, but it's something that's been bothering me recently. If it turns out you are against what I am saying, by all means, we can discuss it reasonably. For once, it might be refreshing to see a logical defense of Ukraine. Just be warned, though not impossible, it will be difficult to sway me given the vast amount of research I've poured into the subject.

We all have issues, which are near and dear to us. No need to apologise for that.

And likewise, what you said does indeed contain one of the largest points I was making with this piece, namely absolutist statements and bandwagon fallacies.
