"You have no life"

[Specforces]

I think when people attack others with the "you have no life" phrase, they are merely lacking any real arguement, thus they spit something cliched, hoping it will make them sound and feel superior in some twisted, subjective way. Noone can effectively define what "a life" is. In today's society, the definition of social interaction has been skewed due to the advances in technology we have seen in the last 30 years. Thus, social interaction can be almost anything. Whether it be talking on the phone or talking in person. Or even typing through IMs or posting in forums. Noone has the right to tell another that they have no life. Whether you are good at a finger mashing game, or you can run 15 miles, you still possess a skill, and as long as everyone can't perform as well as you, there are always going to be an aire of jealousy present. Thus feelings of contempt and words of hostility arise.
