If you invent a term for an extreme sweetheart, you also need one for an extreme jerk.<br /><br />@Anonymous: 12:11 PM LMAO!clasqmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812785541545674276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-53130705534853614512015-03-12T01:14:18.091-07:002015-03-12T01:14:18.091-07:00So could there be something done to plotting down ...So could there be something done to plotting down what, as a tribal creature, is the sort of average setting in between the two ends of the spectrum? Looking past technology and instead when we were reliant on the people directly near us. I mean there would be some differences from culture to culture, country to country. But what might be the average setting.<br /><br />I mean, otherwise it's left 'floaty', isn't it? Or I get that feel - like in anon's comment above - 'don't do too much' - how vague and floaty is that? How much is too much? How long is a piece of string?<br /><br />Surely it'd be interesting to pin it down to some place inside the spectrum - based not on preference (or atleast trying to avoid any amount of it being based on preference) and instead on tribal structure?<br /><br />Also what about looking at people who start laying the label of 'jerk' on others, but really the behaviour is one of gathering more people to their own personal powerbase. In other words, they are being jerks themselves (though arguably far more efficient jerks).
