Life is a popularity contest.

So deal with it.

I just conjured this one from one of BO-CEPHUS's posts. It's true, though. Why did OJ get away with murder? Why is George Harrison's death overshadowing everyone elses?

Life isn't fair so stop bitching.
 
I dont care how popular I am at my school. As long as I can go out with the girl I want to, I enjoy myself. I dont try and get people to like me, it is a waste of my time.
 
I'll tell you the one incident that hit me. Dale Earnhardt died. I was listening to this morning talk show and the whole time I was going to work they were whining and mourning his death. Right before I get to work the local news, traffic, comes on and they say there is a fatal wreck on Haywood lay, and if you are going that route find another because it will be backed up.

Here is a man that died doing what he loved and accepted the risk. Everyone is crying. Here is another man that dies and all they are worried about is him slowing down traffic.

Go figure?
 
Not really, I am happy if I have a hot sweet girlfirend. I dont care what anyonelse thinks of me. Even my guy friends, I dont really get along with them. Im not the type of person who just goes up to people I dont know, and trys to make friends with them. I really dont give a fuck about people I dont know. I have never tried to go out of my way to be frieds with anyone, unless it is a hot girl.

You're totally missing the point. Popularity is power.

If what you do is powerful, you will become popular.

Just because you are popular, dosn't mean life is going to be "better" for you. More people that like you, also means more people that hate you most likely. Janet Jackson is "popular" and powerful, but she almost commited suicide, along with countless other people. In the end, all that matters is how you feel about yourself.

Popularity is overrated....and unfulfilling...

people like you for the wrong reasons....they don't know you for the "real" person inside...they only know the superficial image you set forth...I'd rather have people know the REAL me and accept me for it...

hey you are kinda cute... can i be your friend? isn't image what attracts you to someone in the first place? you takes your chances and sometimes yous wins?
 
I don't become friends with people b/c theyre "cute"...lol I choose my friends based on how well I get along with them...but that's just my own little world...I'm sure other girls hang out with the "pretty crowd" just so they can be noticed....
 
that wasn't an insult...you are totally cool... i am generalizing... i think like people find people like them... we are drawn to our own.
 
i will admit sometimes i can be a real jerk to pretty people tho... prolly because i am ajealous of them

The Cannibal completely agrees with you my dear....
 
Good quote Hannibal :)

I agree....I was never a "follower", if anything I stray from the norm...I like the idea of being unique....most people my age don't share some of my views and I have no problem expressing my feelings among a group that I know may not agree with me...I've always been the type to "rebel"

Rock on Sista...Fight the Power;)

"Stray from the norm"...that's a good thing though I think. I mean if you stop and think about it. NORMAL PEOPLE really arent that happy. Its the nonconformists....the ones that "live outside the box" that live life to the fullest. CARPE DIEM!!!:)
 
The theme of this thread reminds me of Nietzsche's whole will-to-power theory.....you've gotta be driven enough to break free of the mold that would otherwise confine you in life....

As Dr. Frank-N-Furter proclaimed in the Rocky Horror Picture Show...."Don't dream it! Be it!"

Holy shit - a reference to Nietzsche and Frank-N-Furter in the same damn post....what is with that? No really, what is that all about?
 
I think one day im gonna go around looking up all the popular kids that were thinking they're the shit when they were in high school and knocking on their doors and beating the living piss out of them. Then tell them they aint the shit...Im the shit as they lay in a puddle of blood consciously glaring up at me with a bewildered look .

That was weird, I thought I wrote that in my sleep, but it wasn't me


Everything I do in my life is because I WANT to do it, not because I want to fit in. When you have this mindset, especially if you are doing things "differently" people ironically start following you.

I'm not a leader or a follower.

If people choose to follow me so be it.

dude just wait til your 10 year reunion after you graduate.... trust me life will take care of those people for you.
 
I'm glad I sparked a semi-intelligent thread. Thanks guys!

Pretty good considering you have your dick in a shling from the accident! BBAAAhhaahha! :lmao:
 
Life should never be considered a popularity contest.


Life is so much more......


It's about making a difference in someone's life. Even if it's just
one person you make a difference to.

It's about having someone in your life that can make you smile with a simple "hello".

It's about being true to your values, and having a passion in
your life for those values.


Those are just a few things life should be about. None of which
involve life being a popularity contest.

Life is fun, passionate, and exciting.
If you live your life remembering that, then you will get so much more out of it, as opposed to thinking of it as a popularity contest,
or any other contest for that matter.

I'm not a "non-comformist", I just do what I like, and if that happens to be unpopular, or of the norm so be it.

I don't do things that are different, just to be different.
