Subject: Who would you respect more?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Poll is flawed.

Of course more people are going to vote for the second guy because they can relate to him more.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

So what exactly made you pick John? When I wrote the first part I can say that Steve stuck out to me as the better of the two. While these are not based on actual people, they were developed by a conglomerate of perceptions we all have about people.

I would sooner respect the guy who is nice and makes sure people think well of him, than the guy who is nice but doesn't seem to care if his reputation is tarnished.

Given the second part the vote is of course for John. I guess people voting for John just shows that many of us have predetermined judgements based on past experiences.


Yeah, we get that, but the thing is the majority voted John because you made it extremely obvious that he was a good guy. Like, there was no competition whatsoever- he was the good guy.
It also deals with who we are asking for the opinions of. Let's face it, the majority of the Flood are nerds, myself included. We weren't popular in school. We weren't unpopular, we would be the average people who don't stand out. John is written much more to appeal to that kind of people then Steve is.
See I think of most of the people on here as those semipopular kids who are openly into "nerdy" stuff and no one really seems to care. I will keep my broken perceptions.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

John. Steve is a complete ass.

Yes I cheated with the OP. Deal with it.

I voted for John, and after reading the second part, I'd stick with that vote.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

I thought "John" seemed more deserving of respect, but "Steve" seemed nice as well.

Doesn't make sense that Steve is nice to almost everyone, yet talks badly about people behind their backs and does stuff to undermine everyone to his own ends.

Well no... i voted for john because he knows how to apologize even if he said things that could hurt, but he doesn't really mean it, i think that is more respectable.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

John, because he seemed more human and trustworthy. My opinion was right.

"It will take many bad things to ruin your day, but it only takes one good thing to make it."

"We have a bond that's stronger than any sports team or extra curricular group on campus........combined. This band is our family."

"Tis but the journey, not the destination."

"And that's my contingency plan. Well, it wouldn't be considered 'contingency' if it happens more than half the time..."

But.....I actually voted Steve......

  • 12.13.2012 9:33 PM PDT

After readin the 2nd part. Yeah I'd still vote for him

Third option: Bob.

Bob always wears a shirt with a picture of an albatross on it. Bob is a transvestite, but doesn't see that as his defining feature and rarely mentions it. Bob owns a helicopter and uses it to save animals from natural disasters. Bob is also incontinent and wears a pinwheel hat. He treats others like gameshow contestants and sporadically awards them prizes according to a criteria that only Bob knows. The biggest prize he ever awarded was a space flight. Bob inherited the family fortune.
