in my experience, being a nice person has got me a lot of friends. but it never once 'won over the bullies'. Even when I was very young I was never impressionable enough to believe that it would.

Nice and polite has served me well in my travels.

People are bastard coated bastard with bastard fillings. Basically, you can be nice if you want, but all that's going to get you is to be walked all over like a doormat.

I've been nice to people most of my life, and I've never been "walked over like a doormat".

Perhaps it has something to do with being physically larger than most people with whom I converse and associate with? o_o;

liberals "feel good" don't understand this


I understand that human nature is bad, and find it reprehensible to sit back and do nothing to make it better. Human nature like other facets of nature as a whole, is capable of evolution. See morals, ethics, philosophy, religion, art, science, music, literature; all are things of beauty that have come from a human consciousness that rises above the pettiness of "human nature" and show us the greatness of human potential. We are complex creatures and I for one refuse to cling to simplistic and barbarous worldviews that perpetuate the evils of man. No I choose to rise above and envision something better. If no one desired to be better than dogs civilization would not exist.

This. This, this, this - fivefold, this.


shoot them ... politely?

Exactly. I mean, as long as you're nice about it, you still have the moral high ground and people will respect you for it. Nobody gets points for "RAWR UR A FKING SHITBAG AND I WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH! *gunfire* MWA HA HA HA!", but "I'm terribly sorry that I had to do this, my good sir. *gunfire* What a senseless waste of human life." is terribly civilized and should be encouraged.

The "treat others as you wish to be treated" is bullshit to say the least. I personally follow the reasoning "treat others as they treat you"; if someone treats me good, I treat him/her good, and if someone treats me badly, I treat him/her badly.

Think back to when you were 9 or 10, going into a new grade at school.....Think when you met that first bully. Did being nice to him make him nice to you? Or did he kick your ass, or pester you all the way through school? The same could be said about politics. You don't convince any foreign power to back down by sending gifts and being nice. You make a stand to show that they are going to stop what they're doing. Now I can understand that this can be abused, but I mean actually standing up for yourself, or others, not to use it for personal gain.

What do you NSGers think? is it possible to use this theory in politics or life?
