Please give me your opinion:

Which is worse? Being Last, or Coming Up Second?

I have heard many of my colleagues ask this question, and
I have heard many responses.

I want to know what the people of NS think.

Coming in last, IMO.

If you come in last you can only improve, but if you come in second you are almost the best. Well, since I would rather be forth then last and third then forth and second then third, ultimatly I would rather be second.

yes, a valid point, but there are those that would rather be last than be second best.
Some feel, if they were soo close to the gold, only to end up with the stinkin SILVER...
It all depends on your perspective

It depends...

but, both are equally as bad.

However, a friend of mine said that being between first and last was the worse because you were not the winner, nor were you the real loser, you just hung in limbo.

I imagine coming last would be worse in a biscuit race but coming second when having sex with a dolphin would be an acheivement.
So, depending on circumstances... *nods*

I had a valid point and I demand to know who deleted my post and why!!

You really think you can post about child abuse and paedophilia without getting yourself deleted?

Which is worse - being a moderator or being hated. ( ten english pound to the first right answer)

I wanted to be ... a MODERATOR! Leaping from spam to spam as it...never mind.

Coming in last would be terrible, coming in second I could live with. However, dying is terrible, but in torture you survive. Coming in second is very, very torturous...so I suppose that would be worst.

Well, second place is the first loser. Make of that what you want.
