what is wrong in believing you are better than everyone else?
shouldn't everyone think like that? after all, it is your life we are talking about. don't you deserve better? shouldn't you get the best?
settling is for pussies.
i mean, I am equal to the ignorant masses? bah!
to further mussolini, if we were all in the same class, nobody would do anything of any signifance to move up.
say i am cocky, but i will be the only one who is truly living his life the way i fully want to.
shouldn't you have the best?

Ok, I will say that you are cocky. I will also say that you are ignorant and pigheaded. You have no more inherent rights than anyone else, such reasoning is eerily similar to that used for justifying eugenics, which has no justification. You can work for what you want, but you do not deserve anything more than anyone else just because you are unique. Everyone is unique. So take your place in the ignorant masses.

I say we start with potsdamcartel and take out the rest of the inbreds when we have more time.
potsdam, you can put away the mirror and step down off your pedestal now. You're not all that.

Right all the way man.
Besides, you may think you're the best and it may seem that way, but there is ALWAYS someone better than you.

There's a difference between being cocky and being confident. Those differences are modesty, self respect and tact:smile:.

"Of all the animal creation of God, man is the only animal who has been created in order that he may know his Maker. Man's aim in life is not therefore to add from day to day his material prospects and to his material possessions, but his predominant calling is, from day to day to come nearer to his own Maker."
There's a lot more meaning to the above quote than "don't selfish or greedy". Do you know who said it?
Hint: His picture is in your sig...
That's right Mr. Cool, Ghandi. You should understand what self-sacrifice means if you're going to tell everyone you're "Cool like Ghandi".

there's nothing wrong with thinking you're better than other people as long as you're not an ass about it. if you're stronger, faster, smarter, quicker, then technically, you are better than them. call me egocentric but i see myself as better than someone who has no education, doesn't try in life, can't speak proper english *or any other standard language they choose to speak* and has no ambitions. me, at 115 lbs with the "perfect, curvy body" i've been told, am i equal to the 450 lbs woman whose hobby is eating doughnuts? if we're so equal, i'm sure you wouldn't have a preference or a problem when it came to choosing who you'd want to be in bed with.

What if the 450lb woman is a scientist who discovers a cure for cancer? That makes her better than you, right? That would mean she's more deserving of a better life than you, right? WRONG. On so many levels that is WRONG.
Should you judge people by their appearance? Should you judge people by their accomplishments? How do you know what they've accomoplished if all you see is their appearance?
The Bible says something like "don't judge people, or you'll be judged yourself"...that's a warning that means "most people don't hold you with the same high esteem that you hold yourself".

you're right, maybe she's 450 lbs cuz she works odd hours to find that cure for cancer, screwing up her eating habits, and i respect her because she is intellectually better than me. but physically, i have her beat. there are so many different levels to compare people. i'm not religious so i don't base my opinions on the bible, and how many people can say they never or rarely judge people on appearance? it's part of human nature to do so

Remember, we are not all created equal, but we should be given equal opportunity. Does that mean some people are better then others? That question is to broad for a simple answer. People are better then others at different things. Jordan is a better basketball player then Hawking, but Hawking is a better physicist.
Some of you who are all high and mighty about people not being better then anyone else aught to remember that the next time you're slamming away on rednecks, liberals, republicans or any other group you don't like.

Could it be the rednecks, ..., republicans are likely to be in the top 10% income bracket for the globe and are tired of the calls for equity from the vocal majority underclass? The internet is one of the most equal opportunity mediums available to express ones opinions.

Sounds like a few people are using this thread as an opportunity to prove (read: attempt to) how much better they are than the rest of us :lol2:
There's a difference between arrogance and confidence. There is nothing wrong with being confident. Having a better body, a higher education, or whatever else you want to say about you is better...does NOT make you better than the rest. While you are posting about how wonderful you are online, there are people out there in the real world who are doing wonderful things such as trying to find that cure for cancer, figuring out ways to have more for less, contributing to society, fighting a war for their country and sacrificing their lives for our freedom, building homes and offices for us to live in and be productive in, the list goes on and on.
You can have the best body, but still ahve no friends because you are too stuck on yourself. You can have the highest level of education, and remain jobless because you lack experience. You can have all the money in the world, and still have nothing. You can be perfect in every way possible on the outside but so fucked up on the inside.
What really matters in life is that you are content with where you are at in life. To me success is getting the bills paid on time, enjoying what I do in life and maintaining good relationships with anyone who is in my life. You don't need millions of dollars, a college degree or a perfect body to achieve that.

Everyone IS created equal. So we all have diffrent looks, bodies, IQ's. What one person lacks for in one department they make up for in another.Einstien for example was brilliant when it came to physics but was average at best when it came to math.

Yeah that's it exactly. Take me for example. I rock at being awesome, and suck at being a loser. See - one thing makes up for the other.
Alot of people think they're better than everybody else, but generally this is just a sign of narcissism, not actually being better.

Not that it's a big deal, but that is one of the biggest myths of our time. Yes, he failed a math class in grade school, but that was because he didn't do his homework. When you study physics as Einstein did, there is no difference between it and math.

i agree, life is about perception. if you are happy then that's all that should matter. life is also about judgements and improvement. let's say you got a job promotion, which is awesome. clearly you weren't the default choice and only option. you had something the other people who weren't promoted didnt. you are better than them at the job, but maybe they're a better drive, better parent, better golfer or w/e. people are better than others in SOME aspects, but not everything.

right, which is precisely why i have to work harder then the rest to put meaning into my words.
if i said i am just like that typical guy, i would become that typical guy.
if i said i am the best, i would have to prove it. this would result in me becomming a better than average person.
i mean, even if i do not become the absolute best, i would still be closer than that guy who believed he just some typical guy.
i do not want to sound like a fruit, but "shoot for the moon, cause even if you miss, you will still land among the stars"
all i am saying is: it is better to believe that you are better than it is in believing that you are just equal.
also, you all speak of equality. now i ask: who am i equal to?
everybody?
well you know what; everybody is retarded.
they are called ignorant masses for a reason and they deserve what they get. they are given so many opportunites yet choose to be nothing.
its quite odd, even though opportunites increase, people's intelligence decrease. i do not exactly understand that, i will have to figure that one out.
even in college, there are so many ways to get help (professors, TAs, tutors, study groups, writing labs, the INTERNET, etc.) but people just do not take the initiative. i am constantly hearing shit such as "meh, i don't care as long as i pass", or "just put down any answer, i wanna leave".

I think small women are sexy. they look good with a big.... hairdo... in them. lmao...
anyways.. the only way to actually be better than other people is to be humble. Being cocky is not being better. Believeing you are better does not make you better. Being better makes you better. And the instant you start to classify yourself as better than everyone else, you put yourself right back into their ignorant group.
I just want to focus on my life, help those in my life who need help, accomplish my goals, and remember those who helped me do so. And at the end of it all, I will only be hoping for others to do the same. I think that is the BEST way to live your life.
There may be A better way to live, but there are many people doing it right along with you.
