51. I'd like to make a post about this sometime soon
I'd like to here what others here think of it.

There are people who, because of circumstance our of their control, are truly losers. For a whole bunch of reasons. And there are many more who, deep inside feel that, somehow, they are losers too. I think when they hear the word "loser" thrown about (by "winners") so carelessly, they must feel much the same hurt and dismay that black and gay people feel when the overhear the words "nigger" and "faggot".

It's a mean and ugly word. Much meaner and uglier than most realize. I just don't like it. If I had kids I'd tell them my thoughts on the matter and hope they'd see it the same. They could live perfectly happy lives without ever labeling another person a "loser".
