Comment on Keeping Your Company Asshole-Freeparent

Comments

Thank you. Seems I'm surrounded by assholes then with such a broad definition. My thought was that an asshole (in general sense) was someone who always put himself first. Thats why I did not understand the post as well as I'd like. Again, thanks for taking the time to explain.

The Slate link really is worth reading. Assholology is the hot topic these days, and I have frequently found that reflecting on my own asshole quotient is more worthwhile than focusing on the assholes around me, to the point where I begin to consider that assholes aren't ALL bad!

Your definition made me stop and think about how big of an asshole I really am. It is tough to somehow relate and try and measure it, because I reason a lot of social interactions and judge them as logical entities. Like you said not all assholes arent that bad, because not all of them realize they are assholes.

Though your term used to define it is wonderful. I would major in asshology if given the chance. But it would require a minor in chraminology. :)
