None at all.

now you know why you never see me in the arcade

I'm competitive enough to try my hardest and be dissappointed in a loss, but not enough to go insane over it. It also depends on what exactly I'm competing in. For example, I'll spend a while in the arcade, but if I'm not first, that's ok. However, I will work extremely hard in piano and organ competitions.

Depends on the activity. If it has anything to do with my strengths then it is important to win or at least come close to the top.
If it is one of my weaknesses, then I am happy as long as I am not dead last.
But I don't consider myself a sore loser. It's just not worth getting crazy over. Healthy competition is always fun.

Im competitive enough to be willing to try and to want to be good and know as much as possibly about the job I do to be of help.

Other than that having lived with people whose competitiveness turned into addictions that hurt people I guess it showed me how people sometimes cant see the balance or realise the hurt they cause.

Guess that means Im not really competitive.

Ah, true words of wisdom as once again provided by the impressive genius that is Homer Simpson. Truly moving.

Buffy, I'd say that that's the best kind of competition. Standing up for someone else is never wrong (unless you're murdering everyone who so much as looks at the person funny. Then it's a little overboard. ^_^). Rather, it's quite admirable. If everyone stood up for everyone else's rights, there wouldn't be many problems, would there?

Didn't Homer start his own religion at one point? Because he was fed up of Marge dragging him to church? Or because there was some kind of tax break on him being a deity?

Buffy, does that count as competitive? Competitive is trying to win for oneself (even if in some way it's another who wins, so that in kiddie beauty pagents it's the kid who technically wins, but the mom who feels the glory), whereas what you're describing sounds more like altruism. Which is a virtue, I'm pretty sure.

Every time I see one of those diaper commercials, I thank my mom for not doing that to me. O.o There can be nothing worse than knowing that everyone has seen your naked rear, no matter what age you were at the time.

And all those poor kids who think that the only form of beauty is to be thin, tall, etc. It infuriates me to see parents do that to a kid's self-esteem.
