Is being an overachiever always better than being an underachiever?

[Erzengel]

the opportunity was there to insert the sex joke. not like the thread got sidetracked by it.

Subtlety is not your forte is it?

This isn't me jumping on a bandwagon but you never seem to ever take a step back and take in another person's explanation, belief, retort, etc.

It's a silly debate on a geek website not a congressional hearing on global warming.

A silly debate on a geek website, then why are you still posting, if you think you're too good for it

why are you giving me crap about it?!

*ahem*

How do you pay for sex with hookers, while living at home?

And where do you have sex with them?

And how often do you pay them to do so?

*ahem*

It's been two months. get some new material.

for passive recreation?

Thank you for proving my point.

A debate is a debate.

If you are on a messageboard you should expect some sort of verbal back and forth with someone else, using some sort of substantial fact or point a view.

I use the same type of style of debate whether I'm arguing which is better Star Wars or Star Trek or why I'm voting Republican this year and not Democrat. I don't think it's silly to back up what I say and to use viable sources or experience while doing so.

But then again, that's just me.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

why are you voting republican this year?

 

[Erzengel]

Maybe you should wait for a more obvious opportunity.

o0o0 how witty.

I was speaking arbitrarily but if you do want me to segway, For next year's election, I think the Democrats should rally behind some sort of moderate candidate instead of a Black or Female presidential nominee for the sake of them being black or female. Obama is a well spoken individual and Hillary is well driven, however while we may be "liberal" in the big cities, but I don't think our country is ready for either. The people would vote Democrat if they had a nice moderate candidate. Forcing a almost "novelty" nominee, when they could win because people seem fed up with Republicans is mind boggling.

although i agree, that does'nt really seem like a good reason for going republican.

Overachievers aren't simply "hard workers", overachievers can achieve in a variety of fields and ways. Some of it is talent, some of it is hard work.

Also I think you are having trouble understanding why people work. Some people work at things because they genuinely enjoy them, not just because they make money and or provide them with a means of survival. I don't work out for it's consequences...I work out because I genuinely enjoy the activity.

Eh, it depends on who runs.

A thread on a messageboard isn't a debate though. There isn't an organized structure set up, and a messageboard is sure as hell about informal as you can get.

That's like saying all the talking-over-each-other, yelling, interrupting, and cutting of mikes on the fox neutron channel is a debate, instead of what it is: a cluster****

Wow, 2 months and still the beating you took in that thread is still an open wound? Tell you what, when you can actually back up ANYTHING you say with a valid argument then you can attempt to advise someone else on their posts, until then you should probably stick to one word interjections.

Thanks,

If you want to be literal about it fine, an informal debate.
