Sounds like you feel you have a lot of experience with losers. While I do agree with a lot of your post, let me respond with my opinion of a few of your points:

1) "think the world is a scary and dangerous place to life."
It is currently the 200th day of the year. In Baltimore, MD, there have been 181 murders so far this year. Yes, it is a scary place.

2) "This include ugly chicks who hate beautiful women, or poor people who hate rich people. "
Does it include people who bash others that they think are ugly?

2) "They take small things and blow it out of proportion. Because small things effect small minds."
Ever think that there are instances where the small things will become big things in the future, and you have to have enough brains to be able to see the big picture? (example of a pet peeve of mine... people who flick cigarette butts on the sidewalk, or out of their car windows)

3) "They're not socially savvy."
Yes, I would consider bizarre things like projectile vomiting after kissing someone to be not too savvy.

3) "Because self esteem issues, they might not have a sharpen social skills set, therefore they don't do well in social situations."
I would think that saying essentially "Here's how I define a loser. Avoid them, because losers suck. They just rain on your parade." is a sign that someone might have less than sharp social skills.

4) "People who are low status don't know how to put a price on their time and mental energy, that's why they squander it on petty ****."
So, because I have stuff, and you choose to live out of a backpack and dufflebag, I'm a loser?
(note: the profanity filter ate the url. it's: kennubo.com/2007/07/13/sell-your-s*** with the actual word)

5) "This means guys who buy women drinks"
I always buy women drinks when I am out and about with friends. I also have at least one smoke/barbecue/picnic event at my house per year that I invite all of my past co-workers to. Does that make me a loser?

6) "If you encounter a low status person, don't bother trying to help them. Let them be miserable, those sad, sad creatures. I tried helping one or two, but they just try to drag you down."
Thanks for the tip. I won't bother suggesting that you take a look in the mirror.
