barring feelings, sacrificing others for your own sake is simply the easiest path to personal monetary success.

it is far easier to fire a thousand employees for a few thousand dollars of profit, than to keep them at no deficit, just to do the right thing.

And often, good people are easy to take advantage of, for their sense of justice leads them to help whoever asks. Yes, it is objectively bad to assassinate a politician for protesting a legal decision you made, but it keeps your profits going.

No that's because it f*****g hurts. That's what I mean. When they show it on telly they only show how much it hurts the victim.

I think headbutting is quite a British thing to do, especially Scots. I don't think Americans do that as much as we do.

Yes I can't understand how the most horrible people get the best things in life. Although I asked someone a while ago why everyone was all 'me, me, me' these days and they said it was the only proven way to get ahead.

That shocked me that people even think that.

A Glasgow kiss.

we call it a "Salford Kiss" because I'm from Salford.

I always say that you've gotta use everything you've got in a fight but I did headbutt someone once and I regretted it afterwards.

Like National Babybird Day? I could do with an extra bank holiday. In fact I could do with at least one bank holiday every month. :lol:

American NFL players headbutt on the field as a greeting. But they can do that because theyre wearing helmets.

Thats the only situation that Ive ever seen Americans headbutt.

Exactly. I remember when I was little and people started headbutting each other on TV. It was described as a Glasgow kiss and gradually spread to England etc. I think it was the film Trainspotting that brought it to public view.

Yes, you have to have a hard head for butting people with :lol:

Yes exactly, they won't hurt themselves with helmets on.

It's not really safe without helmets, I'd only do it if I was being attacked and it was the only way to escape. I'd probably still concuss myself though! :lol:
