This is a REALLY random question but i was thinking about it today...When people say it takes ages to get a reputation and it takes 5 secounds to lose it, Well is that always such a bad thing? Just say like if your a girl who is very pretty and popular and you get a reputation that you sleep around with other guys whats wrong with losing that? And if you are a tom boy and you want to make a change and become more girly would u want to lose ur old reputation? Can you kind of see what i mean? hehe i dont know if i explanded it clearly.Yeah do you think that maybe it sometimes is good to lose a repuation? and that the quote " it takes ages to get a reputation and it takes 5 secounds to lose it" is true?

I think the quote you are referring to is that it takes "ages" to get a "good" reputation, and five seconds to lose it.

That might clear the logic up for you a bit.

And btw? Those "ages" it took to get a "good" reputation? Multiply that by a few kjillion, and you'll know how long it takes to get it back.

If yer lucky.

"if yer VERY lucky!"

One day you won't care what others think as long as you know who you are and are happy.

Not sure i've ever had a 'good' one and know there are more than a few people in here itching to attest to that.

I think........

All that matters is you are happy with your self, not what others think of you
