Disrupt harmony and you will be sniped by an INFP.
Is that before or after the weepy emo rant on LiveJournal?

while I don't like to say something like being a bad ass is extremely type related, I'm going with FJs in general as the least. political correctness, social harmony and unity are NOT bad ass.
LIES!
Is this not the face of a BAMF??
INTP. total pussy boys.
Thats actually kinda true. They're a bunch of man children, and they'll flaunt that shiz too.
Martin Luther King Jr. pictured above is not badass in the slightest.
Yeah, that FJ was a real pushover.
Being a badass is overrated. Badasses don't have moral integrity, they don't care about anything but themselves, and they don't take responsibility for their actions. That's a form of cowardice, IMO. To quote the very non-badass Morrissey: "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle & kind."
I voted INTPs as the least badass, but I don't mean it as an insult....not totally anyway. They just seem too detached from the real world to do any of that action-y stuff badasses do cough:nerds:cough: ). FJs seem pretty non-badass also, but mainly because they care, and caring is good. Martin Luther King Jr. pictured above is not badass in the slightest.
That's called being irresponsible, selfish & self-absorbed.actually, people who are bad ass often have tons of integrity and values. bad ass is about
- doing something crazy to get what you want
- not caring about what others think of you and not taking your accomplishments too seriously
- not being controlled by anyone
narcissistic- having the mindset of a winner
- being charismatic and spunky
- having high confidence and self esteem
at the expense of others...- doing something that actually gets results
values and integrity can be a huge source of personal strength and bad ass-ness of epic proportions. most people (not saying you necessarily) have the view of a bad ass as the stereotypical "punk" teenager who is in a gang and is rebellious and dilinquent. this is not a bad ass at all. what you see in this example is someone who is incredibly afraid and insecure. this makes them extremely reactive and compliant to the interests of their friends, going to extreme lengths to impress those they want to fit in with. true bad asses step up when someone in their peer group (if they even have one) is out of line.
@Elfboy, you keep speaking about the subject of being a 'badass' as if you are familiar with the subject. I'm curious of two things:
1. Do you consider yourself to be a badass?
2. What have you done that you would consider to be 'badass'?
That's called being irresponsible, selfish & self-absorbed.
rebellious, lack of respect & even self-control
narcissistic
at the expense of others...
Eh, I think the archetypal badass in fiction is a loner out for his own interests, which might be a form of integrity, but not a noble kind. The other thread mentioned someone who "doesn't look back after an explosion" as being a badass. I imagine a Martin Luther King Jr. type would certainly care about the effects of an explosion on other people, possibly checking to make sure no innocent people were hurt. Again, caring is not badass, but caring is certainly courageous & much more admirable, IMO.
