    influence vs. charisma

    In your opinion, what's the difference? I'm curious to hear (some of your) opinions on this...I got this topic from an article I read and it's kept me thinking apparently.

    It was fun while it lasted...

    Re: influence vs. charisma

    Charisma and influence go hand in hand because people with Charisma can influence a lot of other people. Charisma is something I see as a positive atribute in the 1st place though people who have weird ideas and plans but have Charisma so others follow their visions can create a lot of problems. Influence instead is mainly a very negative subject for me because I rather associate influence with using and abusing power be it politically or economically to put pressure on somebody or a group of people.

        charisma is what I obtain when I'm under the influence.

                Influence: Using your power/money to get laid
                Charisma: Using your good looks and ability to lie well to get laid

                So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                    Well, then that explanation should work
                    generally well for most of America.

                            Perfect example of someone with influence but lacks charisma (in most ppls opinions).
