BlueTear Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm still unsure of why you're even trying to argue this BlueTear. I don't (and a lot of us do) think that our worth is simply measured by how much money we are making. The picture thread was (for the most part) pretty on the money for a lot of people by the way. :P . And, at any rate, it was mostly just exaggerating a point -- not supposed to actually mean this is what that person is exactly.Meh, I'm not trying to argue anything as much as I'm trying to show something that occurs on the forum. And it's not really directed at you either, I knew I was going to make the same argument when I read abelmesis post in this thread, yours was just the most quote-friendly of the number of posts in this thread that had the similar content. It's a general observation that I think is worth considering before hitting 'submit', for everyone. Ahem... Most people don't believe that the complexities of human morality can be divided into the D&D alignment system either, yet you didn't make a post saying how that thread fails because it isn't a realistic projection of reality - in fact, the only guy who made a remark about how inaccurate the system is was Zonorhc, everyone else played along and took a stab at it without commenting. The RL picture thread is only a realistic projection of reality in the "haha" sense (don't get me wrong, I thought the thread was hilarious right up until people went "Do me!" rather than make a self-portrait to post), but that's okay. Neither thread was made with super-serious intent. So why is this thread different? Why isn't it possible to ignore the fact that strictly speaking it's not very realistic, and strictly speaking, you personally don't find it all that amusing either and not post about it, or play along anyway? Because of who posted it. You (and - cursed be the few limitiation the english language has - that's a plural you, to everyone who couldn't keep quiet on this one, but does otherwise) don't care what Defender thinks of you in the same way, his opinion of you is not something you hold in particularly high regard. He's just not important enough to you for you to care about his opinion of you. Not enough e-credz. -This message was deviously brought to you by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not important enough to you for you to care about his opinion of you. Not enough e-credz. I'll admit I am guilty of that. If certain people make topics that I think are stupid, I will just ignore them. If it's someone that hasn't been around a while, I'll flame them/post a stupid reply. Just wanted to mention that before I say that in this particular topic I replied the way I did not because the OP doesn't have enough ecred, but because you don't measure your worth as how much you make per year/hour/second. You measure your worth as the total amount of stuff you own. You measure your salary by what you make in a certain amount of time. I neglected to post my salary just because it is very fluid, and didn't post my worth because no one else did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
