No, i mean if the person who is "arrogant" was better in general...Tulipa said:uh being rich doesn't make you better than anyone else.
its being rude.miss_b said:No, i mean if the person who is "arrogant" was better in general...
Say person A is better than person B. Person A makes it clear that they think they are better than person B. Is this arrogance or confidence?
What if they ARE actually better?50Cent said:i think its been established, when you look down on other people.
how do you measure that?miss_b said:What if they ARE actually better?
It is arrogance to look down on other people whether or not you are better. If you aren't really (though Im not really even sure what that means), its arrogance because its pretending to be something you're not and insisting on that upon others. If you are really, its arrogance because you're flaunting a superior status only to put the other down.miss_b said:Bah, but where to draw the line?!
Smarter, more attractive, richer, better at everything...Tulipa said:how do you measure that?
what qualifies someone as "better"?
doesnt make them better! better is a such an ambiguous term.miss_b said:Smarter, more attractive, richer, better at everything...
Bah, i'm going to stop before my head implodes from too much use...
Ok, if i was taller than you and i looked down upon you becuase of your shortness...Tulipa said:doesnt make them better! better is a such an ambiguous term.
make a specific example k?
doesnt make you bettermiss_b said:Ok, if i was taller than you and i looked down upon you becuase of your shortness...
*head implodes*
What if i got higher grades than you and looked down upon you?Tulipa said:doesnt make you better
and i wouldn't classify it as arrogance unless you used your height to make me feel "small" in relation to my height and emotionally.
still not bettermiss_b said:What if i got higher grades than you and looked down upon you?
What if i was more intelligent than you and looked down upon you?Tulipa said:still not better
book smart doesnt always equate to actually being intelligent
sorry dudemiss_b said:What if i was more intelligent than you and looked down upon you?
*prays that you won't reply with "But you can't measure that..."*
YAY for nekkidnekkid said:even if you were taller, or richer, or smarter, you stating the truth can be taken as a sign of arrogance. i mean, why do you feel the need to state the facts?
then again, people who brag or supposedly state the obvious are quite commonly insecure people... and they suck.
Are ou saying that no one can be determined to be btter at anything than another person?!Tulipa said:sorry dude
but you can't measure intelligence. everyone is good at different things and more "intelligent" in reference to certain subjects at school for example.
Well then there is no problem with arrogance unless it is directed towards me...nekkid said:even if you were taller, or richer, or smarter, you stating the truth can be taken as a sign of arrogance. i mean, why do you feel the need to state the facts?
