“I don’t know if you saw this study the other day, but what this study clearly shows, is when people have the ability to come downtown to an office and don’t, when they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket diddling on their laptop … if they do that for a few months, you become a loser! It’s a study. We’re not losers, are we?”

    I knew this guy had to have a scholastic sports background. This is exactly the type of non-sequitur talk I’d expect from a coach to pump up a team to reach an arbitrary goal.

    This guy hasn’t met someone with no future. We have no shame in admitting we lost and are, therefore, losers. I’ll stay home and be happy. And the opinions of others don’t actually effect my day-to-day life.

    To quote Beck: “I’m a loser, baby.”

      He’ll just respond with a “it doesn’t count” because he doesn’t have a cat blanket.

    People like that have nothing but whatever small pathetic position of power they have obtained. They define themselves by their success in the rat race and everybody who doesn’t want to participate looks like a loser to them.

    The idea of loser is moronic and unscientific enough. I’m fine as long as I am not Hitler or some autocrat, also happy I’m not as idiotic as the person quoted in this article.
