I think it's only a matter of time until you guys break down and give each other the tongue. It's so obvious that you want each other. The withheld passion is clearly bubbling up to the surface and coming out as angst and frustration. Everyone can see it. You won't be able to hold back much longer.

 

JUST GO WITH IT.

Your sick mind doesn't seem to comprehend that responding to systematic verbal abuse by the neanderthals isn't in any way a sign of "wanting one another".

Cooperation, competition, and cooptition are all in evidence in nature and I suspect 'fairness' is an enevitable outcome of cooperation as a survival strategy. I'd say that in competition, almost by definition, 'cheating' is a very peculiar notion and one which would have to be 'unnaturally' imposed on a system. Take life and feeding on a coral reef - it's a ghastly competition where eating without being eaten is the name of the game and there are no rules. What does 'cheating' even mean in that context?

 

How strange the notion of 'cheating' is in competition can also be seen again and again on Wall Street and in American corporate board rooms where we as a society attempt to impose 'fairness' where it is clearly as unnatural as 'fidelity' in Hollywoood or politics. You might get all warm and fuzzy talking about 'fairness' in competition, but that warm feeling could just as easily be either a dog or the chairman of Goldman Sachs pissing on your leg.

 

Or at least that's one monkey's opinion...

 

Breaking the rules of cooperation would be cheating, for example grabbing all that results from a communal hunt would likely result in no more cooperation. Cooperating to hunt doesn't preclude competition in other domains, like say acquiring the favors of the most dominant male.

You're the one who wants to plow 5k's, and *I'm* the sicko????

 

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, honey.

huh? where do you get that I want anything to do with that retard? From my answering to his insults? You must be trolling.

Sorry, that was mean. Please carry on.

 

This thread is turning to idiocy like most others but it isn't my responsibility so I didn't feel concerned by your post. I always post in earnest and give people the benefit of the doubt but I can't be held responsible for others. I could of course take my marbles and go home but it would amount to capitulating to the knuckle draggers, so I carry on.

riiiiiight. Don't pretend you're above the fray. You fling poo with the rest of them. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but save us the innocent princess act. :rolleyes:

I don't go about hijacking threads by trolling, making inane comments or flinging random insults. That's your domain.

 

Yeah, but I don't pretend to "post in earnest" :lmao:
