OK, seriously, Ill say this one more time, but in broader terms. Getting ahead has NOTHING TO DO WITH WEITHER YOURE NICE OR NOT. The biggest key to getting ahead in pretty much everything, is knowing how people think and how things work. A big problem I notice a lot of people have is that they are incapable of imagining how another person might react differently then they would. They think that because "I like this" or "I think this is a good idea" that other people will share that view, just cause there heart is in the place. Im not saying to not try and be nice, but to get ahead, you have to have more than just your heart in the right place. You have to understand how things and people work. I can be the most caring person in the world, but thats not help me solve an algebra problem if I dont know anything about math. And unfortunately, sometimes, you get these guys, and theyre good guys, and really nice and caring, but they dont get anywhere, cause theyre also ignorant. I think that same thing happens to bad guys, but they dont get the attention cause it doesnt seem so tragic. Also, and I dont know why this is, but sometimes I run into these nice people, and its like they are afraid to analize people, or they feel somekind of guilt over it. I really dont know what thats about, but it could be why more nice guys seem to have this problem. I see this problem all the time though. For example, my best friend always ends up pissing off his girlfriend or someone else, even though he had the best intentions. Then I got to go explain to him how this other person might have seen it and why they are mad. This is always followed by a very loud " AAAAAAH...........OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I DONE!" So anyway, please drop this whole "nice guys are the victim" bullshit, because it really has nothing to do with anything.
). But as I said before, these are discussion boards. And the 'arguing' you speak of has just been contradicting points that I believe are wrong, if in discussion no one contradicted to suit you, nothing would ever be properly discussed. Make a poll, it's irrelevant, what do most people do when they're not spamming in the off-topic forums? Discuss things, give help to people and/or post stuff about AMVs.
