Oh, you learned cooperating in kindergarten. Amazing. Do you use your playground coop skills still when at work? No?
Actually, yes I do. I share the jumprope, and don''t ever bite my co-workers.

Why would I want to redefine the concept? I personally do not enjoy having things beat into my head, as they do in the army. I am one of those people that can manage life myself, without a drill instructor and calling someone or other "sir" sixty times a day. Who cares if you army people can march in a synchronized manner?

Ok, my bad. Tell me, what exactly DID you mean then? I assumed you meant cooperation in the workplace (not your obviously superior army version of the word).
quote:Coop skills and social skills are very much alike and the reason I brought it up was because attending university is basically one long social skills course and employers know this.
I agree with you there. However, so is life in general (assuming you don''t hide in your house all day every day). I know people who went through college and still had no social skills, and others who didn''t, yet have excellent social skills.
But again, we aren''t talking about who gets hired first [supposedly]. This is about people being asses because some guy wants to program a game, and they don''t have the skills/ambition/imagination to do it themselves, so they put him down.
Just so my post isn''t 100% off topic, I say go for it, amesis!
