There are different types of extremists in this world. There are people who hold on to honor and pride as life; there are religious extremists that imposes their will on others. There are those who carry out orders blindly; and others who will do anything to fulfill their ambitions. No matter what, exploiting the extremists can be easily done from their rash and blinded actions.
Exploiting extremists of these faults is very easy and advantages. People who hold too much on honor and pride are sensitive to shame, which can be easily manipulated to a different course of action. People who follow religion to the neck can be easily influenced on what to do in the name of god. Those who just follow orders blindly are easily controlled by people of higher standing. People who are seduced by their ambitions can be easily misguided by temptations. Taking things to the extreme is like a sickness, and sick people can be easily influenced and manipulated.

These emotionally-charged people might be easier to exploit, but if we’re caught in action trying to manipulate them, the potential damage from backlash will be catastrophic. They’ll go all-out on you!
A risk worth taking? Oh well…
There are extremely dumb people in the world too- I like to avoid those types…
Fortunately I don’t know any extremists, at least I don’t think so.
Zedd- There’s always a chance. This is a good way to look at yourself to see if you are an extremist.
Michelle- That’s good
Wow, this post appears a bit Machiavellian.
Still you’re right. One’s greatest strength or virtue can always be turned against himself.
It is always wise to sit back and contemplate on the righteousness of one’s views or thoughts to avoid falling prey to extremism.

Avatar- Yep, it is always good to just sit back and think long and hard. Impulsive behavior leads to destruction.
