• Givers vs. Takers: The Hypocrisy.
    28 replies, posted
I stumbled upon this article; [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22495641/[/url]. While reading it, I realized how hypocritical the idea really is. Regarding the characteristics of a giver: [quote]...and pissed off because no one recognizes just how hard you are working.[/quote] That destroys the concept of "giver". It shows That givers only give so they can have the righteous image associated with it. Right there they are exhibiting "taker" behavior. Givers may give for long periods of time, but they eventually succumb to the desire of recognition. [quote]Takers may get a bad rap. I mean, how nice it would be to be self-centered, entitled, and narcissistic and still get what you want handed to you on a silver platter.[/quote] Negative attitude toward others, [i]even though[/i] giver is not supposed judge others, regardless. [b]Conclusion[/b] Either the logic is flawed, or the author is a taker in denial. Orr... You have to be a taker to even think about this stuff. Because a real giver wouldn't care, they just want to help others and not categorize them either negative or positive. In a giver's eyes, everyone is important. Also, I don't think human beings are so black and white, individuals have a wide range of personality traits.
I do not give or take. I destroy. Which is like taking, but I don't get to enjoy it either.
Guess i'm a giver because I don't care at all.
Hmm, People are actually black and white emotionally. They can be categorized by their feelings and this makes people bland and unoriginal. Everyone takes at some point.
[b]Vagina vs. Penis: The Hypocrisy.[/b] Do [i]you[/i] take it, or give it?
The guy in that article only gives so he can claim he is a giver, In reality all he wants is your pity or gratitude.
[QUOTE=OhSnap!;16190697]Hmm, People are actually black and white emotionally. They can be categorized by their feelings and this makes people bland and unoriginal.

sorry man i pitch i dont catch
And here I was about to point out there is a gay forum in the lifestyle section.
When you post about your opinions by default you are asking for attention therefor you yourself are a hypocrite and a taker of attention. But I couldn't give a shit
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191316]When you post about your opinions by default you are asking for attention therefor you yourself are a hypocrite and a taker of attention. But I couldn't give a shit[/QUOTE] You're a jackass by default. :hurr:
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191316]When you post about your opinions by default you are asking for attention therefor you yourself are a hypocrite and a taker of attention. But I couldn't give a shit[/QUOTE] That's hypocritical too, If you didn't give a shit you wouldn't have claimed not to give a shit, nor would you have cared enough to furnish us with your ideas.
It's all just dark or light.
[QUOTE=Arbitration;16191360]That's hypocritical too, If you didn't give a shit you wouldn't have claimed not to give a shit, nor would you have cared enough to furnish us with your ideas.[/QUOTE] Yup you got me. Now die along with your ideals like the rest of us
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191316]When you post about your opinions by default you are asking for attention therefor you yourself are a hypocrite and a taker of attention. But I couldn't give a shit[/QUOTE] I'm not a hypocrite, I'm able to acknowledge my taker personality, nor did I deny it.
[QUOTE=Doriol;16191345]You're a jackass by default. :hurr:[/QUOTE] And you crave men genitalia. Whut? I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191410]Yup you got me. Now die along with your ideals like the rest of us[/QUOTE] That's not likely to happen for a very long time.
[QUOTE=trogdor6666;16191426]I'm not a hypocrite, I'm able to acknowledge my taker personality, nor did I deny it.[/QUOTE] I wasn't talking 'bout youuuuu
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191410]Yup you got me. Now die along with your ideals like the rest of us[/QUOTE] Resorting to such insults makes you look like an evasive asshole who can't back up his arguments.
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191476]I wasn't talking 'bout youuuuu[/QUOTE] My bad, read it wrong.
[QUOTE=Arbitration;16191470]That's not likely to happen for a very long time.[/QUOTE] What does it matter how long it takes? Also, I don't think you caught the sarcasm in the post you just replied to [editline]06:26AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Doriol;16191486]Resorting to such insults makes you look like an evasive asshole who can't back up his arguments.[/QUOTE] Yup, I guess I just got someone over the internet angry by using words. You know you're just trying to find some fault in my argument after I called you a cock mongler, and now you're indirectly trying to insult me. U mad?
[QUOTE=Uzi-Face;16191519]What does it matter how long it takes? Also, I don't think you caught the sarcasm in the post you just replied to[/QUOTE] I can only judge by your text, Which as you know has no tone of inflection. How was I to know you don't speak in emo song lyrics in reality?
[QUOTE=Arbitration;16191795]I can only judge by your text, Which as you know has no tone of inflection. How was I to know you don't speak in emo song lyrics in reality?[/QUOTE] Oh sorry, I just don't care you know. :emo: By the way I never said I wasn't a hypocrite. Also, in the first post I meant I don't care if you thought yourself as a hypocrite. So like the first time, you got me again. I'ma go hang myself and whatnot [editline]06:57AM[/editline] Also a righteous man does not judge. Like ever

Also could you clarify what you're trying to say.
There is no such thing as a truly altruistic act. Even people who regularly give to charity get something back even if it is just a feeling of 'doing something good'.
Everyone is selfish. If you do something good, it makes you feel good. That's selfish.
Can't you be somewhere in the middle? Give & Take? Edit: Wow that sounds gay after reading it. :huh:
[QUOTE=Arbitration;16192104]So why did you rate me dumb? Also could you clarify what you're trying to say.[/QUOTE] That wasn't me, and clarify what?

I'm not so sure it's necessarily so easy to categorise people so stringently, but maybe it is.
