What is a trophy worth to you? If it were your trophy...would it be worth more to you than someone else? I hope it would mean more to you than someone else.


Huh? What are you talking about?
I don't care about trophies, they mean nothing to me. They're just some piece of metal to me, they represent nothing. But that's beside the point, it has nothing to do with what i was talking about.
What i was saying is that if you are unable to comprehend (def. To take in the meaning, nature, or importance of) the value of an object, then you would probably not be too smart. And the quote about excluding little kids..what i meant by that was little kids are usually too young to really have an idea of the importance/value of something, so they are excluded from being dumb.

And why do you hope a trophy would mean more to me than a person? If you think some piece of metal is more valuable than a persons life, or someone you love very much then, im sorry to say this, but you deserve to die.

This would be like picking the lock again. But this time all you need to do is push all the driver pins out of the plug at the bottom of the keyway. I believe only one or two pins are causing this, as indicated by the problem being present when using the key.

Imagine what happens when the key is in the lock. The flat bottom part of the key keeps the pins in the shell. When you pick the lock, that portion of the key is not there to keep the pins out of the plug.

Do you not have something that has centimental value to only you? A possession? An award? etc. That is what I was talking about. If you have a knife passed to you from your grandpa or dad or something, and I broke in and took it and I'm just like "I could get 5 bux for this!" Is it worth the same to me as it was worth to you?

Oh i see... your talking about personal value. Sheesh, if you had simply mentioned that in the beginning we could have avoided this little arguement. Alright im a fool, people go ahead and flame me if you desire.

Well no, as of this moment i do not really hold anything that has personal value. I don't like awards. I have a few but i don't really want them, if someone broke in and stole them, i would thank them because then i would have more space in my room. I only keep them because my dad likes them :?
The only thing i can think of that really has "personal value" to me, is my girlfriend :D
Lol, now if someone broke in and stole her :lol: then yes, i would be pretty pissed.
