Something I often Wonder....................

[PolishHammer1977]

Why do some people feel it is necessary to constantly put other people down?

When something is important to someone why must there be someone standing in the way to put someone down.

What if these people were your "friends"?

Any thoughts?

Friend? Nope, that is NOT a friend!

Being honest with a friend is one thing..Having them feel like a piece of crap in the process is another story!

thanks for proving the stereotype that polish people are stupid.

maybe they aren't being serious. I act like an asshole all the time but when someone is being serious i am usually helpful.

 

[powerforward]

people's insecurities sometimes get the better of them. it is hard for a lot of people to see someone close to them, better themselves or have success.

if they really are your friend talk to them about it, maybe they will tell you the reasons behind their actions/comments. maybe they are just jealous/envious of you.

 

[from zero]

For some reason, acting childish like that makes some people feel better about themselves.

Pisses me off.

This dissapoints me that you would make this comment. I can assure you that the people who do know me would tell you otherwise.

I almost pray for the day someone says this to me in person. It's the nice people you really have to worry about NORDSTROM. In the meantime, please go elsewhere.

I will back up the fact hammer is a stand up, nice guy. Hung out with him last weekend. He did not strike me as being stupid.

Bump

I would really like to hear some different angles on this one. I enjoy other perspectives and it helps me to smoothen things out.

I think some start doing it as a joke and it evolves to something that isn't too pleasant.

Others just do it and, in turn, feel better about themselves. Specially if they put you down infront of many people.

JMO, sad really.

Some people can be real great friends and very caring etc,
and yet still constantly bitch and complain and gossip etc.

You have to look at how good the positive part of the friend is, and if it outweighs this Negative aspect of their personality.

when you insult my heratige and my intelligence I take offense to it. I will send you negative karma every time you insult me. I think that is plain enough to understand.

I would like to hear your input on this though. Do you have anything to add to my original plea?

I would not go that far but he can be an ass.

But he can also get serious when it is important so i don't have a problem with him.

If you sat nrodstrom down with a piece of blank notebook paper and a pen and told him to write down everything he knew about Poland..me thinks he wouldn't get too much down...."its next to Germany".."Polish people live there".."origin of the Polish sausage"...

damn right. Plus hitler invaded it. Killed 6 million, used to be a big empire. I know a few more useless facts too. And spell my name right next time, it doesnt help your credibility when talking about knowledge. Its written like 6 times in this post.

critics who i've pissed off personally have never bothered me. But critics who lick their finger and test the wind annoy the shit out of me.

Okay...to answer your question PHammer. I call it the grab bucket theory. You ever see a bucket of grabs and one is always almost always out of the bucket and the others that are trying to get out pull it back in and none ever get out of the bucket.

Same with society. People try to pull each other to a common level in order to feel safe. Putting people down is a negative means to that end.

 

[Monkey Pox]

I'm glad my friends don't do that to me other than in a joking sort of your forehand is ugly as hell on the court or something like that. Otherwise, they prolly wouldn't be my friends.

It's all insecurity though. And fear.

 

[flex123]

Polish people are rather very smart in math. It's a sterotype none the less but I've noticed it to be rather on point.

For people who put others down, it's usually because they fear that someone might get ahead of them and they are trying to sway them away from this. It's more of an envious action where someone actually wants it themselves so they knock it for someone else.

They feel bad about themselves. I know that sounds like what your 3rd grade teacher would say, but I've learned that it is true. As the adage goes: "Misery loves company."

I have friends that act this way. I was an easy target for this crap when I was growing up because I was a meek kid and smaller than my classmates (a year younger). Of course friends act this way, as do lovers and parents. But it's because of their own personal problems. Now that I am a stronger person, I have distanced myself from some of these friends and stood up for myself with others.

 

[bwood]

i only put down my friends...

dudes rip on each other cause most of us dont like
group hugging...except for aap and nathan maybe...

and geez...if you guys take nordy seriously, then
you just dont know him or get his sense of humor...

he is very world conscious and a stickler for people's
rights and the responsible conduct of the world's
nations...his polish comment was the most tongue
in cheek one that i have seen here in a while...

havent you, him and i chatted before hammer???

the best thing i can say about poland is, that they
learned the lessions of communism very well, and
are not so eager to rush into the EU, which makes
them the most intelligent nation on the european
continent currently...

You would assume a post where the original post was about 'people who put others down unfairly' would give my motives away.

i admit that i am an asshole though. i've gotten that remark directed at me a few times before.

I think people who put others down are so insecure that they can't handle when others close to them have successes. Do your friends have the same drive as you do to better themselves? Perhaps they are jealous, but too lazy to buck up and do the same thing.

I think bigguns15 pretty much hit it on the nail....It basically all comes down to Insecurity and jealousy....

..well besides the fact that you identify your location as "does this shotgun make mine butt look good" i think you are quite the punk historian..Hilter?germany invaded Poland in '39,but did you know that that the USSR also invaded at the same time..and Stalin and Hitler divided up Poland,but never theless the French and British declared war over the soveriegnity of Poland ,but failed to declare war on the USSR which was equally culpable at the time..ultimately the genesis of WW II was over Poland and yet that country remained under the Soviet?communist domain for some 50 years..and now i read/hear that a Polish division is going to replace the 3rd infantry in Iraq>>>i think that we owe thema great amount of thanks

i knew all that about poland.

A German girl was getting raped by 12 Pollacks. She screamed Nein! Nein!". So, three of the Pollacks left.
