Is being an overachiever always better than being an underachiever?

[Colossal Spoons]

Ah ha, Jag and his lyin ass talking bout "Spoons, if you wanna get big you gotta work hard, get your BCAACCAA's and shake out your toxins"...when all this while he's been juicin'.

You're the one who gets all amped up with ****** strength anytime you get slightly fustrated.

Suddenly it all makes sense...

jag, you can't expect to getting anything that requires thought out of b_f. This guy makes his name by making large statements with absolutely no credible way to back them up, and then when he's confronted by logic he either resorts to childish "insults" or attempts to pass of his ignorance as a joke.

firstly I simply pointed out overachivement does not apply to friendship or family relationships. Hardly a large statement. Also I backed up my argument and offered an opportunity for conjecture. That's when your boyfriend Jag when apes--t throwing around a bunch of rude insults like a fustrated monkey flinging feces simply because he claims I misinterpreted what he said. What a nutjob.

I think the animosity you two have for each other spans across many different threads so to make this one thread an example is taking the whole feud out of context.

You have yet to refute anything that I've related in this discussion with any sort of logic whatsoever. You've just made naive generalizations and insulted me over and over again while decrying the fact that I've called you an illiterate, underachieving jackass and an idiot (neither of which you've been able to refute as well).

Overachievement DOES apply to family and friends if someone wants to be the BEST father, son, husband, wife, daughter, mother, grandparent, best friend they can possibly be. Overachievement has NOTHING to do with a person's value set or what they think is right, because for them...that IS what's right and what's important irregardless of what another human being may think. As long as they are trying to be the absolute best at those things that they can possibly be and maybe even more, then that is being an overachiever. Many of the things you describe as being an overachiever as a parent in your reply to Erzengel are exactly what BRUTAL said they were; being overbearing. That's NOT being overachieving.

This made me laugh. You could not have proved my post more correct. Your ignorance never ceases to amaze...

... and "firstly"?? Seriously?

You had no reason to insult me to begin with. You just leapt at any chance to put down an unpopular poster because you think it impresses people. You sad little man. And I only insult people in cases where they insult me. I would never insult someone who didn't insult me. I save that for 5th grade bullies and gasbag posers such as yourself.

Values matter because it decides what a person considers a great parent. Maybe they think a great parent is a parent with a child who becomes a doctor. That could result in an overbearing parent. An underachiever could be a much better parent by supporting their child without pushing them too much. But I'm just wasting my breath because your just going to start throwing out cheap insults and being dismissive no matter what I say.

 

[BRUTAL]

Pot Kettle, Kettle Pot...

Don't the terms Underachieving and Overachieving have to do with one's self? I don't think those terms apply in relation to others, i.e. parenting.

Errr...I see you insult people all the time without being provoked, dude. Don't try to paint yourself as a saint. I apologize for insulting you, but honestly...I swear that you don't actually read anything I ever write. You just go off half-cocked without comprehending what I was actually saying in the first place.

But values are not related to whether someone is an overachiever or not. They are two separate factors. They may influence one another, but one does not define the other or depend on it's existence. Values are highly individualistic and do not determine how driven to achieve someone is, though you might be able to say that being driven to achieve in of itself could be considered a valueset to some people.

And for the record, I have insulted you exactly TWICE in this thread. Would you like to have a tally of the number of times you have insulted me in it? (Hint, it's a bigger number).

Actually, you do tend to avoid answering questions and when you debate you seem to bring up awkward and non relatable metaphors in your arguements.

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.

That's just my impression of you.

Just the whole this topic wasn't about sex until you brought it up?

*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*

 

[Addendum]

I've found that I'm best at doing the least amount of work possible and still live comfortably.

I'm content
