People hear what they want to hear.
Smooth salesmen armed with lies can make people do irrational, stupid, hurtful things.
Shut down the NAR. Deprogram their followers. Cleanse the world of this force of evil.
Haven't they caused enough damage already?
A Cult always refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding population considers to be outside the mainstream. In common or popular usage, "cult" has a positive connotation for groups of art, music, writing, fiction, and fashion devotees (see Cult following), but a negative connotation for new religious, extreme political, questionable therapeutic, and pyramidal business groups. For this reason, most, if not all, non-fan groups that are called cults reject this label.

For the love of Pete the NAR is for responsible gun ownership (not talking about the mahcine gun crazies).
Keith you've even advised a gun in the home for perhaps necessary personal protection in these coming dangerous times.
Take a look at something that is NOT responsible behavior. And I don't just mean the use of a firearm, but much more the misuse of an image, intended to go out to countless masses of impressionable youngsters about what being a "man" is all about.

Ok, I just realized I f'ed that one up. But the point is valid, the criticism shrivels like the witch in the wizard of oz, and the image is still insanely irresponsible.
By the way, there really was a spaceship behind that comet. Whether they made it on-board though is doubtful.
All rent-seekers and parasites are cultists.
Jefferson knew that and advocated yeoman farming as a way of the virtuous life.
"...rice, black-eyed peas, kool-aid..."
Gotta have the kool-aid.
Our gummint should play that inspirational when things get really bad here: "...don't be that way; have some dignity as you die off..."
The NAR is a cult like Amway or Herbalife or any other multi-level marketing scheme.
Full of Cons and B S artists.
Kinda like a Tony Robbins motivational speech get everyone worked up with no long term results.

Thanks SOB for the good laugh.
Yun gives me the willies.
Please dispose of all Yun-aganda.
I can't take it.
Keith,
this link is to the The Advanced Bonewits’ Cult Danger Evaluation Frame. I'm sure you know much more about the NAR than I do, so you might find this helpful in evaluating anything that seems like a cult.
I don't have any reason to believe that the NAR tries to exercise control over the lives of members and their families to the extent that cults generally do. What I don't know is how they handle internal dissent and whether they can take a joke.

I am a member of NAR and I absolutely hate them. In my area all of the major brokers insist that thier real estate agents all be members of the association. The dues are expensive and they waste all kinds of money at every level (national, state, locally) on thier stupid proganda. Let's face it, who buys a house because some smiley NAR person says its a great time to buy?! The only value in my opinion is that some money is spent lobbying to prevent politicians from increasing the already exhorbitant taxes on the sale/purchase of real estate.
Every time I hear or read another rosy NAR picture of the real estate market I want to scream. It's not rosy and everyone knows it!
What we need is a new organization that is dedicated to the highest level of realtor ethics and no money spent on self-advancing bs propoganda.
