What are they and what do they mean to folks here?
Why does it appears those of particular political leanings have so many "reputation" points and almost seem to be competing for them and what that means in terms of how they are earned, who cares about them, who might be obsessed about them and if there is any means for any particular grouping at this site, if they were so inclined, to jack one another's reputation (or their own) up as a means of securing what they could possibly feel insecure about or if there is any sort of subconscious connection to what drives of motivates people, what's important to them and if there might be any connection to not just the similarity/differences in the two lists of stats at here at PJ and the state of our nation or the world for that matter.
There are many means for people to secure a living and a lot more than what they need to live. Most people, might agree to that which they would consider legitimate (meaning fair, honest, equitable, just) means to obtain or secure a living (or much more) for themselves and what would not be considered legitimate, even if they engaged in that which was not legitimate.
How many of us consciously or subconsciously go outside the limit of legitimacy simply to "win" whatever one might believe they are winning, versus doing an activity because it offers something positive to humanity, not just a limited group that go along with it?
I know lots of people that do a lot of things recognized universally as being positive and good for others and for the world and never thought twice about how it reflected upon them or gaining some credit for it. There are others I know who seem so obsessive about being accredited and praised for anything they do that might be considered good, even if it is only to enrich themselves and their friends and not necessarily recognized as being good outside a closed group.
I'm once again curious, if there is any connection and correlation to where people's priorities lie, consciously or subconsciously and if the stat lists on this site offer some connection to the more general population of this nation or even the world.
