    why is it when someone doesn't agree with someone else they automatically throw the "jealousy" card out there? Really? So, everyone's jealous of everyone? It can't just be that we agree to disagree, we are all just jealous. I personally think this is a flimsy, accusatory statement to just *throw around* all of the time.

    Get over it. Agree to disagree and move on. Debate maturely, without accusation and namecalling.



    Rant over. *returns soapbox*

    I've been thinking this same thing lately.

    this is so true.

    I saw that being thrown out once.. and my reply was, jealous of what.. that said poster has no clue what they are talking about? The person who threw it out goes, but I was kidding when I said it.. I'm not actually implying that your all jealous of said poster.. Then why say it in the first place? :huh:

    because I'm jealous of said poster of whom I do not know. :tongue:

    Here's a factoid from being a psychology student for 14 years:

    People will look to resolve any conflict that they can with the easiest method at their disposal. What does "you're just jealous" give exactly? Well it basically states that my opinion is superior to yours and that you are only arguing because you want to be like me, further reinforcing my superiority in the argument. It is, in a nutshell, an "I WIN" button that I can push whenever I don't have a proper counter-argument, similar to "NUH UH" and "UH HUH" and "NA NA NA NA IM NOT LISTENING", only "you're just jealous" takes those previous items and boosts my own ego further by stating that you just want to be like me anyway.

    People are an arrogant, narcissistic and ego-centric bunch of protein sacks.

    I prefer na na boo boo stick your head in doo doo as my go to comeback when I got nothing.

    usually the person throwing out the "your just jealous" is in fact the one that is jealous. That is why they feel the need to throw it out there.

    I like to agree to disagree by saying, " you're right! I am totally jealous."

    That was me, and I said it because the jealousy defence gets thrown around this website like confetti. It was a joke that other people actually got. I'm sorry you didn't understand why it was funny, but many others did. :flowerforyou:
  • It's easier to call someone jealous or judgmental than it is to debate intelligently with them. I've almost given up on the forums because it seems that if one actually has an opinion than they are lambasted immediately. Obviously there are going to be things in life that we feel strongly about; why do you have to insult and malign someone just because you don't care about the same things? It makes absolutely zero sense to me.

    Respect everyone. I really try hard to live by this every single day.

    I know, it's hilarious. I don't envy anyone on here, but have been accused of it when I have disagreed with people.

    Edit - for the record, no I don't wish I had bulgy arm muscles or a muscular *kitten*. I quite like mine the way they are, thanks!

    I think I have heard this argument before.


    if it has, I felt compelled to make it clear yet again. I mean, why not? There are only scabs of TOM threads daily...

    Do you mean scads?

    This is because most people really aren't intelligent. Therefore having an intelligent debate is not possible for them. Therefore you are just jealous of their ta tas.

    I'd have to debate Louisville hosting cool protein sacks. Louisville is full of people that rabidly foam at the mouth for UK basketball and drive like they are nascar drivers, usually while whooping about UK basketball.

    If beer drinking were a sport, Louisville would be #1 ;)

    I feel a wee bit of satisfaction when I know someone is jealous of me. Is that wrong?

    j/k in case someone actually doesn't pick up on my sarcasm...
