Hahah. Good question. Just like people in general I guess.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Wow that a philosophic one. "They" are the ones that invariably feel the need to show that way and instruct you on how to do what you do when they cannot. Really "they" are just an excuse.

"They" are anyone who agrees you regarding the point you are trying to make. "They" are sort of a universal reference for anyone that doesn't really know what they (the person speaking, not "they") are talking about.

you dont really know who "they" is unless the people are mentioned earlier or later in what you are talking about.

Some of us know--but they've said we can't disclose that information
