Poll question: Does One Bad Apple Spoil The Whole Bunch?
Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 06:49 PM by Tuesday Afternoon
Once a "spoiled" person is thrown in with a bunch of people, is the experience spoiled for everyone?

5. I think you're missing the symbolic implication of Eve taking a bite out of God's "apple"
Shit, I'd kick and her pimp out of my back yard too, if she pulled a stunt like that. Don't matter how charming the snake was.

7. No.
Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 06:59 PM by some guy
But a spoiled apple does indicate that the rest of the apples in the bunch are on their way to becoming spoiled.

I have no idea how that relates to spoiled people. :shrug:

If a spoiled person is thrown in with a bunch of people, they get to tease the spoiled person mercilessly. :bounce:
The experience gets really fun! :evilgrin:


edit: fixed spelling/typos

8. We are such a diverse crowd
that one persons bad Apple is another's apple cider.
Not everyone is going to get along with everyone.People will annoy you and piss you off.
As you probably will do the same to them.
People may Annoy me here but I don't hate anyone,not even those who harbor those feelings against me.
So NO is my answer

11. We are all "bad apples" to some degree.
So we each "spoil it" for everyone else. That's the definition of being human.

24. When one expects the best from others...
...one is usually disappointed. When one expects nothing, one is occasionally pleasantly surprised. ;)
