The Office: Power Rankings

These are the second power rankings I've done (you can check out the Breaking Bad + Wire here and here) and many of the same rules apply.  Beware, there are spoilers left and right; the characters range from all seasons.  This list is also extremely objective; there are some characters I just don't like all that much.  Sorry if you disagree.  I would say the ranking formula is based 60% on humor, 20% on annoyingness (negative quality obviously), and 20% on importance to the show.

Have we Gone Soft?

The question is simple: Have we as a society gone soft?  The reaction to the Xavier-Cincinatti fight was an embarrassment. We have gotten to the point where every time a fight breaks out in a sporting event, the so called "experts" act like the participants need to go to therapy and take a long hard look at their life. I am not saying that fighting should be a major part of team sports, or advocating ridiculous brawls like the melee at Auburn Hills or the sucker punch that Lagarrette Blount threw, but there is a time and a place where fighting in sports is necessary.
