What % of People on USMB are Losers?

[the_human_being]

I call it counting coup. I don't really attack the white man but I do enjoy messing with his mind. The Blacks on the other hand are somewhat sacred to my people. Most of them are insane practicing racism, worrying about the Civil War, and from trying to keep their trousers from falling off. Actually, I'm the most rational person on here. Also the best looking.

Also the best looking

Best looking?

You'll always be second to me.

Well Will, I never really had any special skills or talents to speak of. I was forced by circumstance to rely on my good looks to get me through life. I liked a very good life and retired very comfortable thanks to the many lovely ladies who were willing to pay my asking price for my special services.

(1) Anti social behavior / issues
(2) Avoidance behavior / issues
(3) Unhappy home lives
(4) Inability to cope with common life problems
(5) Generally just ugly, unlikable and with no where else to go

The more I am on here, the more I'm beginning to feel that most on here may have one or more of the following:

(1) Anti social behavior / issues
(2) Avoidance behavior / issues
(3) Unhappy home lives
(4) Inability to cope with common life problems
(5) Generally just ugly, unlikable and with no where else to go

You been talking to my doctor?

No, just some self examination notes.....

I think people come here to vent and that's all it is. Venting. An outlet. Those who take everything seriously instead of just someone venting and saying shit they won't say in public to people face to face due to 1) maybe losing their job 2) don't want to hurt someone they care about 3) have no other social life due to ill health, etc 4) insert your own here________________.

I've seen everyone at their worst. Flat out worst. But I have also seen those same people come together to help someone out that is REALLY hurting. Those same helpful-but-otherwise-mean folks are not stupid though, so anyone pretending to be a victim 24/7/365 are just asking for trouble. But if they are REALLY in pain, mentally or physically and NEED the majority here....they get the help or advice or assistance or hugs they need. Period.
Which is why I said 50% or less.

I think people are here for different needs.
If you are really in trouble, you should have REAL LIFE family and friends to go to.
If you are leaning on people here, you have issues in real life

Also, no one wants to REALLY be real.
It's either act stupidly silly 99% of the time, then talk about some lame issue that should be discussed in a PM

 

[Bonzi]

or, at a minimum, dysfunctional?

All of us and would not want it any other way...

I like they dysfunction.
I just wish more people would confess theirs
I confess mine.

 

[Bonzi]

Hmmm...

I think many here are fairly intelligent, so boredom is more the issue.

Not many people show it.... or share it.....

The "losers" are a certain type of loser, One that fails to look at all sides of an issue before making a determination. How often do you see a real debate going on with facts and links where both participants are listening? Seldom is one person all right and the other all wrong. But you never see one side give credit where credit is due. I suppose, if they did, the other would think they gained the advantage and call them an idiot, lol.

We have our egos invested too often in these posts with certain posters or will all posters on a particular A"side."

Anyway, all posters are losers if they

1)cannot listen to the points their opponent discusses
2) don't openly agree with points that they secretly agree with
3) stop a discussion with name calling

They refuse to listen.
They only car about WINNING
Not information and resolution

Well, MY estimation upon reading the question was around 70~75% but that wasn't an option... not sure if that makes you a loser, Bonzi... I don't think it does... you may just not understand statistics.

In any event, I think more people are losers than winners in general... probably about 60/40. But on a political message board among the "regular" posters, I would put that slightly higher. Losers tend to congregate around other losers in order to feel more adequate.

I'm reminded of a favorite quote:

People who think they know it all are particularly annoying to those of us who do!

No, I put other on there just to cover anything I miss.
I post things normally quickly before I forget or if I have to log off quickly.
People here (want to project an image of self importance and intelligence)
What a perfect venue to be able to expose yourself, warts and all - but people just won't / don't

Actually, I'm a failed comedian.

I failed in every Comedy Club west of the Mississippi, and my wife wont let me cross the Great Divide

Or people that can trash others, but if you trash or "flame" them they cry like a baby.
Even if the FZ where supposedly people are up for that.
But they get close and then if you Flame, it's "oh I thought you were my friend"
That's so lame.

I have been here a long time. After awhile it becomes clear you are not going to reach most people and sway their opinion. Giving short rebuttals with some humor became easier and more entertaining to me. Sorry you feel short changed.

Well you seem to be trying a lot of practice here....
I think I'd be a better talk show host anyway....

Hmmmm I don't want long extensive debates. I actually hate long posts.
I think people should share of themselves more.
I don't feel short changed.
I think a lot of unwarranted nastiness and bitterness happen, and, people are unwilling to talk about it.
They'd rather hammer you down and hope to chase you away.
I don't understand that.
I just want to understand. I want a valid reason, if not, an admission they have no good reason
Or an admission they just don't WANT to like you - but there is ALWAYS a reason.

Talk show host?

I can see you hosting a "really big shoe", like Sullivan did
