Quote: "It's not "might makes right." It's "I have more free time which I am willing to devote to EQ." We're not talking about fascism or ends justifying means here - we're talking about something more akin to one athlete spending far more of his time and sacrificing more of his life toward a particular goal than another (allowing talent to be equal), and therefore receiving the award as a result."


This actually made me laugh a bit. The reality though, is that the efforts of the athlete almost always result in a tangible benefit. One example would be Tiger woods. Tiger has more money than Croesus, and apparently got more ass than a toilet seat (the result of which was not so beneficial). Another would be the health gained from a strict physical regimen. The irony is comparing people sitting for hours in front of a computer screen vying for ones and zeroes, sedentary, to people who do something for wealth, health and pussy.
