Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?

Umm... pretty much everything in life is a competition. Some people just participate while others ignore it. American society places a heavy emphasis on all things competitive. I mean heck, even roll call in elementary school is a bit of a competition where kids with high alphabet last names (A-E) always get called first. Lines at water fountains, bathrooms, restaurants, gas stations, these don't merely create order but also establish a hierarchy. Most folks can only define themselves by their position relative to those around them. The greater extent to which one does this the more insecure they are in my estimation. I think I would be highly annoyed by your friends. You might try letting them know that if you wanted a running commentary on your parenting skills that you'd hire a sports announcer. Or, just grin and bear it.
