100% true if you care about a reputation

but it will get you in both good and bad places.

baddog · 04-15-2006, 02:34 AM

think that is a given

i always thought his most famous quote was

"bigger the postcount, bigger the penis size"

;)

I think the truth of that statement is probably a very difficult thing for some people to accept. We are fallible, all human. Yet some seem to struggle more towards ideals. A thing like a reputation may become very "abstract" for certain people, given certain emotional conditions. And I understand that. Live and let live, right. But basically, I see the world as divided into 2 camps: those who are trying to improve shit, and those who are trying to hold shit back. Anybody says they ain't scared of change is a fucking liar. But, I tell ya this, it's a lot easier to face change when you can hold your head up.

It's Warren Buffet...

Anything could be true. I mean have you ever "met" Mr. Buffet? Were you there when he said this?

Even people who say something did happen could be full of it. Like me... right now.

very true

and then come back a third day with a new nick and persona and hold your hand and cry for you. boo hoo, boo hoo, you got scammed. I feel your pain.
thats the internet.
you know its true.

Vitasoy · 04-15-2006, 06:41 AM

gecko · 04-15-2006, 08:45 AM

It does have some merit.

I believe that a solid rep can be built in much less than 20 years. And if built right, it will take a lot more than 5 minutes to destroy.
