Bullshit. Selfishness is what drives our economy to success, and what generates wealth. Ultimately, selfishness ensures individual liberty, if viewed against the alternative.

It's part of that Counterglow game, where you post a question or comment to see if you can get someone to reply, they you call "110/0!" or something like that, unless someone immediately calls "own goal!"

You only say that because you, incorrectly, view selfishness as assholishness - all selfishness means is that your first concern is for yourself and your own well-being. Of course, you can define that however you want - if you believe that your self-interest is best served by trying to look out for others, that's fine. I'd even agree, to a certain extent.

Self-interest != selfishness

Saying they are equal is like saying anger = hate. One is an extreme, distorted version of the other.

There's this game on Counterglow. It's called 100/10 or 100/0 or something like that.

Person 1 asks a question or makes a comment.

If Person 2 responds seriously, Person one calls out "100/10" or 100/0, something like that, and wins.

If person two calls, "own goal" then person 2 wins.

No, it doesn't make any sense.

It's really simple, Jaguar.

You set a trap. You know Ted is active and somewhere nearby. You post a picture of a beautiful girl and ask if she is attractive. When Ted, or anyone else, says they'd hit it, you respond with hundred-nil. They fell for the obvious and gave the perfectly predictable response.

You set up the hundred-nil by posting something with the expectation of the blindilngly obvious response that would follow it.

'What was the capital of the United States?'

Washington.

'Hundred-nil!'

Own goal is the defence against hundred-nil. When you see the question with the blindingly obvious answer, you defeat the hunter by responding 'own goal!' thus redirecting the attack into your oppo's net.

Simple, eh?

But if "Own Goal!" is a customary response to posts like that, then Own Goal should cause a hundred nil
