Vader or Obi Wan
Bernard Black or Manny
God or Jesus
The hobo who flings obscenities at passers by or the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement
Cain or Abel
Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan

Vecna or St Cuthbert
Bane or Helm
Shar or Selune
Sephiroth or Aeris
Multinational Corporate CEO or charity collector


I could go on. Partly due to the expediency of being friends with an arsehole, and parly due to the charisma being an arsehole imparts, it would seem to me that arseholes pwn. Nice people are inoffensive. Arseholes are awesome.

found the list confusing...as in which one is the asshole out of God or Jesus?
or Batman and superman? Catholics or non Catholics? It's a VERY odd list...you are very odd...

God, or the Old Testament God is/was a complete asshole.

Look what he did to Job just to prove a point to the Devil!

He totally chilled out in the New Testament.

I'm with you. Insufferably nice do-gooders are tedious, and Amnesty International members might well be the most boring people I have ever spent time with.

As, I assume, one of the few who get the "Bernard Black or Manny" comparison, you're quite correct. It's similar to Blackadder or George.

found the list confusing...as in which one is the asshole out of God or Jesus?
or Batman and superman? Catholics or non Catholics? It's a VERY odd list...you are very odd...
God is the arsehole in comparison to Jesus (You know, all of the condeming to fire and brimstone, smiting of various individuals and towns and not a few disobedient children. Throwing his 2IC out of heaven simply for optimisic career goals. And all that..)
Batman is the arsehole in comparison to Superman (Read any batman done by Miller. My favourite line- CRIMINAL"You can't do that, I have rights!" BATMAN "Rights? Yeah you got plenty of rights. Sometimes I count them to make myself feel crazy" *Throws crim through window*
Catholics are the arseholes in comparison to Protestants (Because they are cool, authoritarian, decadent, elitist, arrogant, and ruled europe with an iron fist for centuries).
I am odd. That I shall grant you. Better that than 'nice', though...

Personally, I'd pick Obi-Wan.

Vader ain't gonna help you pick up chicks, all in that crazy black armor shit.

[QUOTE=GreaterPacificNations;12398411]Seriously, arseholes are much better. Who would you rather be friends with:
Vader or Obi Wan

I'll go Obi, Vader was a loser, irritating child, irritating teenager, goes to drak side, loses legs, becomes robo-man for a while then dies in a totally pathetic way...and finally, when they upgrade the film they edit in Hayden Christiansen!!!

Bernard Black or Manny

No idea who they are

God or Jesus

Im guessing God has the real power here

The hobo who flings obscenities at passers by or the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement

I'm trying to make a pun between hobo's and Hobson's choice but failing...

Cain or Abel

I'm generally more cained than able

Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan

I can't be bothered anymore

Damn it. I knew when I wrote that down that someone would realise Obi Wan is actually cooler than Vader. Why did I write it? WHY?! *Clenches fist in air*

Ned Flanders. Need I say more?

http://www.reed.edu/~fisheri/immi/flanders.png

Seriously, who in their right minds would want to be friends with him?

I would you rather be friends with:
Obi Wan, Vader whines too much.
Bernard Black or Manny --- who?
Jesus, God would be more likely to strike me with a plague
the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement, he probably has a vivid imagination.
Cain or Abel, eh, either I suppose.
Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan, not familiar with the clan.
Pirates, alright, you win 1 arse-hole
regular peasants, more likely to feed me
Othello, why not?
Faust or his poxy cameo doctor friends , no idea
The 'stay puft' marshmellow man, yumm
Cyborg raptors or regular boring raptors... I am not even sure which are the arse holes here.
Batman or Superman, Batman... ok you win 2.
the quadraplegic psychic loser, make it so, number 1
Shiva or Vishnu, this one may be a toss up. I stay on all dieties' good side
India, otherwise how would i get any tech support?
Ghandi, we must become the change we wish to see
Hippies, like they are so full of love, man.
JD, he makes me giggle.
Catholics or protestants, neither... I am tired of attempts at converting me.
Corrupt sub-saharan Dictator overlord or desperate poverty-stricken oppressed sub-saharan peasants, again... neither.
common cold, who would want to be close to AIDS?
not-cancer, who would want to be close to Cancer?
kindly innkeeper, would rather not be close to any vampire really...
St Cuthbert, saints are typically pretty nice.
Bane or Helm ok... i think you lose me on the this one, and the next two.
Shar or Selune ...
Sephiroth or Aeris ...
Multinational Corporate CEO or charity collector, well i work in social services, so either one, whoever would give my organization more money.

I dont think I chose more arse holes... sorry. I have to disagree with you.

I think what matters most is how attractive they are particularly if there bad

oh dear that was bad

Vader or Obi Wan

I'll go Obi, Vader was a loser, irritating child, irritating teenager, goes to drak side, loses legs, becomes robo-man for a while then dies in a totally pathetic way...and finally, when they upgrade the film they edit in Hayden Christiansen!!! This is true. I already expressed my regret a post ago. Mind you, Hayden Christensen does not help with his poxy brat protrayal of Anakin.

Bernard Black or Manny

No idea who they are Blacks books. Budget UK comedy. Bernard is an irritable irish shopkeeper/drunkard. Manny is his bitch.

God or Jesus

Im guessing God has the real power here And much much more style. Jesus is the hessian wearing hippy kid to God's Iron fist retired marine.

I can't be bothered anymore

Likewise.

On that description I'll go Bernard then : )

Meh...I don't really care if people are nice or not, so long as they irritate me as little as possible. :p

Obi Wan, Vader whines too much.Cries some more.
Jesus, God would be more likely to strike me with a plagueNot if he was your friend. Well maybe. He has done it before.
Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan, not familiar with the clan.The Zhou clan, known for it's sophisticated culture, was overrun by the imerialistic and warlike Qin to for what is now known today as China (i.e. Qin-a)
Pirates, alright, you win 1 arse-holeIndeedy
regular peasants, more likely to feed meOnly if you are a samurai (being obliged to do so), in which case you'd be better off being friends with ninjas (whose sole purpose is to kill samurai).
Othello, why not?Because he is made of fail.
Faust or his poxy cameo doctor friends , no idea Christopher Marlowe's elizabethian era play 'the tragical histories of the damnable life and deserved death of Dr. Faust'
The 'stay puft' marshmellow man, yumm I wouldn't bite him, personally..
Cyborg raptors or regular boring raptors... I am not even sure which are the arse holes here. Good point. I think the cyborgs are the only raptors with the artificially enhanced capacity for arseholery.
Batman or Superman, Batman... ok you win 2.3, if you include the marshmallow man.
India, otherwise how would i get any tech support?But you don't have any tech to supprt without China!
Ghandi, we must become the change we wish to seeOr Stalin, "No people, no problem" :).
JD, he makes me giggle.But Dr. Cox must leave you in need of new pants?
Catholics or protestants, neither... I am tired of attempts at converting me.Right. This is why I prefer the Catholics older stuff. You know, when converting wasn't an option, because you were one of them, or you were dead.
St Cuthbert, saints are typically pretty nice.Not this one. This one is nice in the same way as catholics.
Bane or Helm ok... i think you lose me on the this one, and the next two.
Shar or Selune ...
Sephiroth or Aeris ... just general geekery. first 2 forgotten realms gods, last one characters from FFVII.
Multinational Corporate CEO or charity collector, well i work in social services, so either one, whoever would give my organization more money.Probably the CEO, as a tax deduction. So that makes 4.

I dont think I chose more arse holes... sorry. I have to disagree with you.
But not entirely *raises eyebrow whilst stroking air-beard knowingly*

Bernard Black is one of the greatest arseholes ever. Black books is quality too

Vader or Obi Wan

Obi Wan, 'cause he'll show you how to use his mad skillz =p

God or Jesus
Jesus, so long as he'll show me how to turn water into funk.

The hobo who flings obscenities at passers by or the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement
The hobo who stares at the pavement. You can do anything and he'll be cool with it.

Cain or Abel
Cain, 'cause he's emperor of Solaris

Pirates or regular sailors
Pirates, 'cause pirates just pwn that much.

Ninjas or regular peasants
Regular peasants under the hopes of becoming a samurai :D

Iago or Othello
Othello, because Iago squawks too much and I don't like noisy birds.

The 'stay puft' marshmellow man or Slimer
Slimer pwns. If you don't think Slimer pwns then you do not pwn.

Cyborg raptors or regular boring raptors
Regular raptors 'cause they eat people.

Batman or Superman
Superman. Clark Kent is a nerd, Bruce Wayne is a freak...

Magneto or the quadraplegic psychic loser
Magneto, assuming the movies portrayed him correctly.

Shiva or Vishnu
Ifrit :cool:

China or India
China... won't flip out if you eat a burger.

Stalin or Ghandi
Stalin, so I could laugh at Hitler and say "haha you mortal Germans can't touch me!"

Punks or Hippys
They're both superficial and fake. I'd rather be with someone who actually stands for what they stand for.

Catholics or protestants
Well... I'm not catholic... so....

Corrupt sub-saharan Dictator overlord or desperate poverty-stricken oppressed sub-saharan peasants
The desperate peasants. Desperation = determination. Desperation + determination = one hell of an overthrow is imminent.

AIDS or the common cold
Common cold. It tends to not kill those who become friends with it.

Cancer or not-cancer
not-cancer, same reasons as above.

+6 Vorpal sword weilding Vampire or kindly innkeeper
Vecna or St Cuthbert
Thinking in World of Warcraft terms, a vampire would be more like a warlock and a saint would be more like a priest, meaning either/or would do just fine. One can beat the everlasting shit outta stuff like nobody's business, the other can heal.

Sephiroth or Aeris
Aeris, 'cause Sephiroth's a whiny little mommy's boy.

Multinational Corporate CEO or charity collector
You can't be friends with a multinational corporate CEO. It just doesn't happen. Being a prick is a requirement. Besides, just because a person's into charity for something doesn't mean they unconditionally love everything. I'm a huge animal lover and will go way out of my way to help a sick or injured animal, but I don't give a flying crap most of the time what happens to most people.

some of these i am ignorant of, so i have not highlighted my preference.
now to the asterisk
*God and Jesus (from the Christian perspective) are the same.
*The actual opposite of a ninja would be a samurai.
*Stay Puft stepped on a church and "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"
*Dr. X isn't quadraplegic, he's simply paralyzed fro mthe waist down. Learn the difference...loser.
*:eek: If you'd really like to be friends more w/ a brutal mass-murdering dictator, there's probably something wrong with you.

Seriously, I think you need some form of counseling.

now to the asterisk
*God and Jesus (from the Christian perspective) are the same. And whilst I respect the fact that the christians did dream him up (and thus, to some extent have directors rights over his portrayal), both as fictional characters are free to be reportrayed a one would please no more than 100 years after the author's death (without the payment of royalties or consent) according to IP laws in most countries.
*The actual opposite of a ninja would be a samurai. Ah, but samurais are also arseholes. The non-arsehole equivalent of a ninja would be the non-ninja peasants from which they sprang.
*Stay Puft stepped on a church and "Nobody steps on a church in my town!"Fair enough.
*Dr. X isn't quadraplegic, he's simply paralyzed fro mthe waist down. Learn the difference...loser.Actually I don't subscribe to marvel or any of the filth they produce. I know quite well the difference between a paraplegic and a quadraplegic. This discrepancy shows very well the flaws in the writing of marvel. Why have a super-intelligent psychic if he isn't quadraplegic. There is no balance. Mind you, if he can move shit with his mind, why can't he move his legs? Damn marvel.
*:eek: If you'd really like to be friends more w/ a brutal mass-murdering dictator, there's probably something wrong with you. You wanna be anything other than friends with one?

Seriously, I think you need some form of counseling.
Counselling is for n00bs. I peel pidgeons.

hmm, nice people are ok. arseholes mostly are arseholes because they aren't confident and think the whole world is against them so they have to fight back (well, most of the time i act arrogant that's becuase i'm not confident).
nice people help you with stuff and don't trie to abuse you so meh, they are better imo.
the only kind of nice people i hate are those who laugh with all your jokes and the politician-like nice people who act nice but only because they want something from me and those people who act nice due to a total lack of self esteem and think you will like them more if don't have their own opinion and do whatever you want them to do. (the first ones are often also in the second or last group)

Hey, my best friend fits into the last group, and i like him! On the other hand, arseholes are much more fun to date usually.

^ my answers.
mostly nice things, me :)

On the "Vader or Obi Wan" side, it doesn't help that Vader is a whiny little bitch if you can get him to stop force-choking everyone.

Vader or Obi Wan - I think other people have explained this adequately

Bernard Black or Manny- Manny! Manny is way cooler.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E97_95GlXg
... okay.. fine, after looking at lots of quotes I've changed my mind.

God or Jesus - God demands that you sacrifice things to him whereas Jeebus gives you free wine. I'm going with Messiah here.

The hobo who flings obscenities at passers by or the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement - The obscene hobo I guess...
Cain or Abel
http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/727/727510/Kane_CNC3_1156357646.jpgAbel who?

Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan - um... pass... I confess ignorance.

Pirates or regular sailors
Ninjas or regular peasants
Iago or Othello
Faust or his poxy cameo doctor friends
Batman or Superman
Punks or Hippys
Alright, you got me on these. Though I'd probably have to kill Iago - backstabbing bastard that he is.

The 'stay puft' marshmellow man or Slimer
Stalin or Ghandi
I'd have to go with Slimer and Ghandi here. Mainly because neither of the two would be actively trying to kill me.

AIDS or the common cold
Cancer or not-cancer
Wouldn't you prefer to only have a cold and not AIDS and cancer?

+6 Vorpal sword weilding Vampire or kindly innkeeper
Vecna or St Cuthbert
Bane or Helm
Shar or Selune
Sephiroth or Aeris
The geekiness is killing me :p

Ned Flanders. Need I say more?

http://www.reed.edu/~fisheri/immi/flanders.png

Seriously, who in their right minds would want to be friends with him?

I would :)

Seriously, you could borrow his house and the shirt of his back, and he wouldn't complain. :p
*Has just seen the simpsons episode where homer steals an entire room from Flanders house, and all Ned says is "Oh well, you snooze you loose :) "*

I get told at school a lot that I'm 'too nice', and on a regular basis too; I'm not very popular but, strangely enough, I get along with people really well. Nobody actually dislikes me that I know of.
I guess I'm a pretty minor exception to your idea, then, but nevertheless an exception.

Ilaer

Great! It's too hard to be always nice. Or maybe you are naturally nice. Actually, I'm amazed at very nice folks. 'Cause me, I'm not always nice. Folks distance themselves from me when they see that my halo is gone and smoke begins to come out of my nose and ears.

Nice people sux. I was one once, now I´m a badass :D

Nice guys finish last. They dont get the money, they dont get the woman, they dont get power.

Badasses are so good you usually have to assemble a group of nice people to deal with them.

And please, Cain and Abel are not Command and Conquer characters :D

Yeah dude, nice people rock.

What, you'd wanna hang out with Vader? What a whining psychopath he was. "Wah, my wife died." "Wah, I had a bad dream." "Wah, no one recognizes my awesomeness."

That would get old real quick.

And if it's post-suit Vader, it would go even quicker, since he'd probably force-choke me to death just because his bowels are acting up that day.

I bet Obi-Wan has free marijuana.

Nice people FTW.

Naturally nice, though it's difficult not to be nasty at times. Fortunately, I've always managed to overcome my temper.

Who cares if we don't get money or power or women?
I mean, at least we get... um... I'm sure there must be something...

Ilaer

are you people crazy? assholes are ASSHOLES! who the fuck wants to hang out with assholes? darth vader would strangle you sooner or later; iago would fuck with your mind; pirates would steal your good shit; cain would get pissy over god preferring you and crush your head in with a rock; and stalin would send you to the gulag even if you were his best friend (especially if you were his best friend!)

assholes are better to read stories about but nice people make better friends.

Naturally nice, though it's difficult not to be nasty at times. Fortunately, I've always managed to overcome my temper.
Fortunately for you. I am unfortunate not being born nice. I can get really nasty...


Who cares if we don't get money or power or women?
I mean, at least we get... um... I'm sure there must be something...


Oh there is. My admiration. And bananas. Plus lots of friends. Who will eat the bananas.

I never did get the whole attraction of arseholes...
I mean...they're arseholes! What more do I need to say?!

oh yeah, ik can have that too. normaly i'm quite nice to the people who i know (i'm told i can be quite cold/arrogant to people i don't know, but that's subconscious). but sometimes i can be very mad (not actually mad but just not pleasant to be around).

Hoover the roof!

I would :)

*Has just seen the simpsons episode where homer steals an entire room from Flanders house, and all Ned says is "Oh well, you snooze you loose :) "*

Yeah, I sympathize with Flanders too. He has some offensive opinions, but he's a nice guy to everyone he meets, and remains a loyal friend regardless of the abuse he has to put up with.

Batman is the arsehole in comparison to SupermanYou couldn't be more wrong... (http://www.superdickery.com/dick/3.html)

You couldn't be more wrong... (http://www.superdickery.com/dick/3.html)

In fact, he's a dick TO batman: http://www.superdickery.com/dick/49.html

I'm an asshole myself, but I prefer being friends with nice people, because assholes are annoying as hell.

Vader or Obi Wan? Both of them could teach me cool force tricks, but Obi-Wan wouldn't force-choke me if I pissed him off.

God or Jesus? God, because 1. he holds a higher rank, and 2. he wouldn't expect me to "turn the other cheek".

Cain or Abel? Abel, because I couldn't really trust a guy who kills his own brother.

Pirates or regular sailors? I don't think regular sailors of the era of pirates were any less assholey, but they wouldn't have a constant risk of getting hanged.

Ninjas or regular peasants? Ninjas, I admit.

Faust or his poxy cameo doctor friends? Faust was a whiner, not to mention a pedophile. I'd rather ditch them both and hang out with Mephistopheles.

The 'stay puft' marshmellow man or Slimer? Marshmallow man, but only because Slimer is annoying, like a puppy. I hate dogs.

Cyborg raptors or regular boring raptors? I don't think either of them would be very nice, so I'll go with cyborg raptors, because cyborgs are cool by default.

Batman or Superman? Let's see... Superman has all kinds of cool superpowers, like x-ray vision, and he can fly and shoot lasers from his eyes. Batman, on the other hand, likes to dress in black leather. I think this should be obvious. (Superman, if it wasn't obvious to you.)

Shiva or Vishnu? Kali Ma!

China or India? China, I eat lots of cows.

Stalin or Ghandi? Gandhi, because I'm sure he got a lot of chicks with that deep philosophical shit.

Punks or Hippys? Meh, they're both wussies.

Dr Cox or JD? Cox, I'd like to learn to be as witty as him. Also I wouldn't like to have him as an enemy.

Catholics or protestants? I'm a protestant, so I'll go with that.

Corrupt sub-saharan Dictator overlord or desperate poverty-stricken oppressed sub-saharan peasants? The dictator could give me a governmental position with lots of power, and that would be nice.

AIDS or the common cold? I'm not sure what you mean with being friends with them. I'd much rather have common cold than AIDS, but if you mean that I would be able to give the disease to other people at will (without having it myself), I'd say AIDS.

Cancer or not-cancer? See above.

+6 Vorpal sword weilding Vampire or kindly innkeeper? Vampire, because if I wasn't his friend, he might view me as a potential victim. Also, you never know when having a vampire around can come in handy.

Multinational Corporate CEO or charity collector? Depends on which one embezzles more funds.


I left out a few, which I didn't know, or of which I had no strong opinion.

dammit why the hell did Ipick I am nice? Im not nice. Damn... I blame the government.

I'm nice, but only because I'm not strong enough to be evil.

The obvious advantage to being friends with the evil ones, is that as your friend they probably won't kill you; and of course the good guys wouldn't kill you. In reverse positions though, the good guys still wouldn't kill you, but the bad one would. In fact, being friends with the good guys is pretty much a death sentence unless you're part of the regular cast.

I'm nice, but only because I'm not strong enough to be evil.

Exacly.

Every nice person is a bad guy inside, but they lack the power to show their true awesomeness.

Every person likes power, and once they taste it they never forget it.

Power rules.

Bernard Black or Manny

No idea who they are


That's your loss, mate.
Only last week, my boss compared me to Bernard Black. It was a proud moment.

I like nice people more than people that aren't nice. This thread isn't nice btw.

What, you'd wanna hang out with Vader? What a whining psychopath he was. "Wah, my wife died." "Wah, I had a bad dream." "Wah, no one recognizes my awesomeness."

That would get old real quick.

Vader or Obi Wan
Obi Wan, considering Vader was a complete emo

Bernard Black or Manny
Who?

God or Jesus

Well, I guess God

The hobo who flings obscenities at passers by or the hobo who sits and stares at the pavement
It's obvious the silent hobo is the key tosaving the world, whereas the shouting one is just crazy.
Cain or Abel
Abel would be less likely to sacrifice me to a being who may or may not exist.
Qin Shi Huang or anyone from the enlightened Zhou clan
Enlightenment=badassery when it comes to the Chinese.
Pirates or regular sailors

I guess I'll go with pirates
Ninjas or regular peasants
Ninjas are cannonfodder whereas one of those peasants is always destioned to be a hero.

The 'stay puft' marshmellow man or Slimer
Stay puft dies in the end, Slimer does not

Cyborg raptors or regular boring raptors

Cyborging raptors seems horribly inefficient as they would not be able to make proper use of their enhancements.
Batman or Superman
Actually, according to superdickery.com, both of them are arseholes

Magneto or the quadraplegic psychic loser
That 'quadraplegic loser' has pwned Magneto countless times.


Stalin or Ghandi
The suggestion that I might want to be friends with Stalin is actually, to me mildly offensive.
Catholics or protestants
Wait a second? We're the aresholes? elitist? arrogant? Have you MET any Catholics?

AIDS or the common cold
Cancer or not-cancer
I think it's fairly obvious I'd want to be friends with the one that wouldn't kill me.

The innkeeper would be less inclined to kill me and more inclined to give me beverages.
Vecna or St Cuthbert
You mean "the wussy God" (Vecna) or "the Sean Connery of the gods" (St Cuthbert)? Anyone who has played TOEE on PC knows what I'm talking about.


Sephiroth or Aeris

Sepiroth=whiny momma's boy

Remember kids. Badasses may look a bit cool, but nice guys always win in the long run.



I could go on. Partly due to the expediency of being friends with an arsehole, and parly due to the charisma being an arsehole imparts, it would seem to me that arseholes pwn. Nice people are inoffensive. Arseholes are awesome. [/QUOTE]

reading the topic post has given me enlightenment as to why the universe realizes humans suck and is not going to do anything to prevent them from destroying themselves.

you see, sentient species that have matured, throughout the universe, have come to understand the value of individuals leaving each other alone. to perhapse starve. but at least not make a pain in the ass of themselves, even in little ways, let alone preventing them from being able to make thier own survival.

this is why i support not supporting hierarchies.
not tearing them down.
not opposing or attempting to destroy anything.
but steadfastly wherever and however nonconfrontationaly possible,
adamantly not supporting them.

volunatary social organization to keep people from starving or freezing
and to provide some sorts of tangable infrastructure, ok,
but hierarchies, that make wars possible and so on,
and refuse to bennifit the very backs they ride on,
really do serve no useful purpose so whyever in the first place support them?

they pretend they are the only ways societies can be organized
to provide all the things that organized societies can.

they lie. you know they lie. they know they lie.

the preversity to find their doing so amusing.
perhapse it is a mental defense mechanism.
i don't know. if it is, i don't see it as working very well.

i will say this much for anti-dogooding sentiment:
there IS no greater good then the avoidance of causing suffering and harm.

Genuinely nice people rock.

more suffering IS caused by thoughtlessness then maliciousness, but i'm sorry, i just can't see how that's supposed to make maliciousness lovable.

i'd rather be a hermit then have anything to do with either of most of those choices.

You got me at the "unmarked bottlecaps".
Nice people are interesting to me since i know they have a different threshold of difficulty regarding their interactions.
Just keep crammin' it down, deeper, and deeper, where noone else can get to it.

People around here always say hello to me, and I don't even know them. I hate them. I wish they'd die from an infection they got after getting stabbed with a fork.

Only 4 assholes I'd want to hang out with. Not that there's anything wrong with being an asshole or anything. It's just that most of your assholes are rather dangerous fellows to spend time around.

Like the time Milhouse had that cast on, and the ants went in after the morsel he left in there?
