<p>Yes, and spywear left out that we should also take another step to deflate/bash those over-inflated egos, I'm adding it in for him. That's not hard to understand is it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Refusing to stroke one's ego implies only one thing: one refuses to stroke one's ego. Any and all responses that land outside the realm of an egotistical circle-jerk fall into that category. There's no reason to sit here and praise someone for doing what they're supposed to be doing, the same way that I'm not going to give a cookie to a father who brags about taking care of his kids. OmG u GoT a fOuR pOiNt Ho??? gR888 tELL m3 MoAr!!!!11</p>
<p>Sooner or later people need to learn that the rest of their entire life doesn't hinge on getting into UCLA over UCSD. You're not doing any favors by enabling and perpetuating their self-destructive thought processes. </p>
<p>It's also laughable that you believe people who bite their tongues will make it farther than those who express their opinions, but we won't get into that.</p>
<p>Just like sstory said, there's some people on here who are in for a huge reality check at the end of April. I'm not going to put more rungs on their ladder so they have a longer fall when the time comes.</p>
<p>You're still not getting the point. I understand that it might anger you to see someone doing that type of thing, but that's not what this thread is about at all. </p>
<p>Nowhere in my OP did I mention stats, or these type of "show-offs" as you've nicknamed them, and I reiterated this in my response to you which you seem to have overlooked. I'm talking about unwarranted negativity which seems to be rooted in competitiveness.</p>
<p>Regardless, just don't reply to those posts as you've become accustomed to not doing and let people live blindly -- they will ultimately reach their inevitable fall.</p>

<p>I'm too nice to let that happen without trying to do anything about it.</p>
<p>I will be quiet now because obviously no one here understands the English language. </p>
<p>If you'd be so kind as to re-read the example in which this thread is rooted, please do.</p>
<p>both of you are being "too" nice in your own way. can we agree to that? haha</p>
<p>I kind of went off of replies to your OP. However if you think about it, it's really the same thing isn't it? Getting too obsessive with this whole thing? Needing reassurance for the slightest of success? Showing off every little email? </p>
<p>"Great, you've got your scholarship email, that's awesome. Would you like a cookie?" I don't see how this comment would be unwarranted, it's helpful if anything. I'd like someone to reply that way to me if I ever got all over hyped with this academic bull and started showing off.</p>
<p>I mean hey if you want I'll adjust my super hot girl analogy. It isn't any more pleasant when a super hot girl goes around showing off and constantly asking people what people think of her new shoes.</p>
<p>Lets stay up all night popping redbulls waiting for automated receipt responses. We can all make tinfoil hats, too.</p>
<p>One of us that's good with computers can try to hack their myUCLA account.</p>
<p>all of you guys should start arguing, points of views are very hard to change. spywear has a dry sarcastic sense of humor which might be rude to some (funny to me).</p>
<p>instead of arguing over silly things like this, we should be helping each other</p>
<p>"I will be quiet now because obviously no one here understands the English language."</p>
<p>OHhhh ZINGGGG!!! Nick, prepare yourself for a fullblown flamewar!!</p>
<p>how does an argument with one-two people lead to.. "no one understand english"</p>
<p>wow seriously. im hoping his major isnt english. lol</p>
<p>Dear nickthecoolest, thank you so much for finally saying what I have been thinking to say for a long time (...but 1) procrastination and 2) homework got in my way) :)</p>
<p>Nick, I'm sure most of those with some intelligence and a conscience understand what you are conveying.</p>
<p>spywear: "Chance me!</p>
<p>Applied: UCLA, UCB, UCSD.
GPA: 10.0

<p>OMGGGGG IM SO NERVOUSSS!!!!!1111 "</p>
<p>whats your major?</p>
<p>HAHAHAH spywear!! SO TRUE</p>
<p>lmao @ King Inc</p>
<p>I also find the notion of "you don't agree with me so you must not understand me" pretty funny.</p>
<p>Thanks. [:</p>
