  1. Actually, Brigham Young invaded a foreign country (Mexico) by moving to Utah. He had the best of intentions, but it really could have gone badly.

    Sort of. The area was claimed by mexico, but there was no occupying force there; no government, no outposts. Nothing to say who it belonged to; much in the way Antarctica is today. At least 3 countries lay claim to it, but nobody cares about it enough to even attempt to monitor who does what there, if they even bother to take notice or ask.

  2. And what kind of professionals would be making you the subject of their discussion?

    Psychologists, primarily. But you didn't understand what I was saying. I dont' think you understand a number of the things I write; perhaps its just a disconnect between the way I write and the way you comprehend, or one (or both) of us is deliberately taking things the wrong way.

    As I wrote, I have been the subject of those who's profession it is to bait people; lawyers in court cases primarily, when I've either been called as a primary or expert witness. I've also been a member of debate clubs, have worked as a military PR designee, and have owned several companies where I've handled all inspections and violation hearings.

    Those guys are professionals at baiting someone; nobody here is. You absolutely wouldn't believe what comes out of my mouth when debating people in person. I think James Carville and I could be genetically related.

  3. You are misinterpreting what I meant by professional. I was speaking about psychology and psychiatry professionals. And its quite possible that I am not communicating well.

    As for autism Vs. Aspergers, well, its my opinion that an adult who was diagnosed with aspergers as a child and who uses it as an excuse for poor behaviour as an adult, is likely just of poor behaviour because they've never been called on it. True autism, or its 600+ other varieties, are something different.

    I mentioned dyslexia because of the part of the brain which causes this is often also part of the brain which is damaged and may contribute to autism.

    I don't want to get old, not in the way you're describing. If I'm unable to care for myself fully, I want to cease living. No dotterage for me. I was unable to even dress myself for almost a year once; an experience I would rather avoid by any means.

  4. I don't think I'm being understood in the way I'm intending. I don't want people to pretend to be nice and sweet, I want them to practice at it until it becomes a part of their personality.

    One of the biggest problems I have in conveying a message in text, is that it lacks the nuances that give it definition and clarity. The gestures, inflection, tone, body language, and spoken sarcasm don't translate well to the written word.

    I do not wish to live any longer than I am useful. I do not ever wish to see a day where time and a failed memory have robbed me of all chance of or desire for valor, or all memory of; where my fingers have forgotten their strength. I figure I'm about halfway there already.

    I'm sorry if I offend, I don't mean to. I simply am accustomed to dealing with people in a professional environment when discussing things like this; those in the field would immediatey understand what I'm trying to convey.

    Oh, last thing. I don't think I've ever felt the feeling of "love" the way most people describe it. I've never been irrationally attracted to someone with a.. burning desire. All my relationships were based upon pleasant feelings and interactions; excellent friendships, but not irrational emotion.

    I'm likely a little autistic, and I've overcome childhood dyslexia.

    The only really powerful emotion I've ever experienced was hate and revenge a couple of times during my service; but I didn't like what those feelings prompted me to do.

  5. You are quite possibly the most offensive person I've ever had the misfortune of being in contact with.

    You must not get out very often.

    I've recommend to you once that you put me on your ignore list; apparently you're just looking for a fight. You need to get control of yourself, man; you're acting very immaturely.

    But thank you very much, I appreciate your attention. Its nice to know that people sometimes read things and think about them a little before responding...

    So are you saying that President Monson is a false prophet, or are you just being obtuse? Oh and by the way, site rule #1 states: 1. Do not post, upload, or otherwise submit anything to the site that is derogatory towards The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its teachers, or its leaders. Anti-LDS Propaganda will not be tolerated anywhere.

    Don't attempt to put words in my mouth. And drop your juvenile attempt to bait me; I've been the subject of professionals, and you sir, are not a professional. You're not even a very good amateur.

    I've said nothing derogatory, I've simply pointed out the recorded history of the church as documented in the D&C by one of my ancestors.

    But keep trying to point out supposed rule violations, its a comical attempt and it makes me smile; something I haven't done much of lately. So again, thank you very much.

    BTW, I think you've violated the rule against inflammitory statements and personal attacks. Shame on you; go punish yourself now.

    Actually, they paid a large fine for incorrect reporting procedures.

    So wait, you're saying WE were fined for incorrect reporting of funds spent in interfierance of electoral procedure? Besides that being money I've paid voluntarily out of my own pocket for the maintenance and spiritual missions of the church, the fact remains that the law was broken; a not spiritual act. Were you or I to do that, and not have the money on hand from the freely given donations of members, we'd be sitting in jail right now.

    There is no justification for 'incorrect reporting;' the church has the resources to ensure that can't happen accidentally, and knowing the internal operations of the church as I do, and the strict and incredible effort that is made to comply with law, I'm forced to conclude that this was not an accidental omission, but a purposeful action by someone high enough in the hirearchy to OK what happened.

    Regardless, Tomato, tamato, its same-same.

  6. I stand with the Founding Fathers when I say that I want no laws put on my person, or that restrict my freedom, based upon someone else's interpretation of scripture.

    Period.

    I make no excuses for my desires; they are in line with the foundation of this nation.

    I would not restrict the contracts that may be entered into by consenting adults of informed consent and sound mind. I have always expressely stated that only adults or those in their majority may enter into contracts of any variety; I don't know where you see that I have been ambiguous on that point. I would never be OK with those in their minority, not of sound mind, or of informed consent to willingly (without duress) enter into contracts of performance; even though I did by enlisting into military service at 17. I was not mature enough, mentally or of suffecient experience to know what it was that I was doing or why. I took an oath I was incapable of truly understanding or performing. I toughed it out, as I keep my word, but I learned from that experience what it is to submit to a contract without understanding what it truly entails.

    I don't care what you do for a living; trash-man, astronaut, president of the United States, or skilled tradesman; that's your business. I simply give no creedence to or recognize any authority from your occupation. Your knowledge of scripture may be greater than myself, although that's irrelevant. I do not need to read and understand the 99 theories to follow the Laws of God as set forth in his commandments and in the oaths I took or the covenants I made.

    I also don't need, nor particularily want, anyone shoving their particular view of morality down my throat.

    Abortion? In most cases its an abomination; but its none of my business what others do with their bodies. Do not, however, demand that I participate in any way though financial support; monies taken from me without my permission, by force of law and threat of punishment or death for disobedience, just to take that money and give it to another who is in performance of an action I am in disagreement with, and which is not specifically called for in the Consittution or Bill of RIghts.

    Potato-

    Why do I disagree? Because even the Prophet can be wrong; Joseph Smith was severely punished a number of times for preaching false doctrines and even leading an Army against detractors in another state.

    Any President of the Church who uses their position of authority to espouse the creation or removal of a political law in a government that is free from religious interfierance is preaching a false doctrine. We are to be in this world, not of it. And using law to prohibit others from excercising their God-given rights to drink beer or enter into a contract with their neighbors cat, in my opinion, is a gross abuse of authority and station.

    The Church just had to pay a sizeable fine to the government for illegal interfierance with a recent election; harldly a righteous activity in my opinion. Ya know, that whole "being subject to Kings, Potentates, laws, etc" part of the Articles of Faith.

  7. I like Pink Floyd a lot; although I prefer Dark Side of the Moon. The Wall never was, and never will be a favorite of mine mostly due to the recording method. I am a bit of an audiophile; I use Beyerdynamic headphones, Polk Audio RTI 12 speakers, ADCOM GFA 555 amplifiers in monoblock form; Sound balancing is done with a Yamaha analogue (tube type) "parametric" equalizer; discrete class A circuitry, as quiet or more quiet than all but the most modern and expensive of digital equalizers.

    I use a pink noise generator and sampler to tune the audio output to the acoustic dynamics of the room. I want signal reproduction as flat as possible so that what I'm hearing is as faithful to what was recorded as possible.

    I use a sunfire subwoofer for sub-20hz sound reproduction; which is primarily nothing more than moving air as its below the threshold most people can hear.

    A Nakamici cassette player, a Bang and Olufsen turntable; both slaved to a DBX coder/decoder, a high-end studio-deck Toshiba monitor CD player; optical cabling where possible and braided copper conductors where necessary. I like to hear pure, clean sound. My favorite recoding and production company is TELARC; true DDD recording and reproduction. You can hear lips being licked, strings brushed from fret-to-fret, the pic slipping off during a strum.

    The Wall was full of distortion, intentionally caused; whereas Dark Side of the Moon was as clear as they could possibly make it at that time with analogue equipment.

    One of my most prized posessions is an LP recording of Thelma Huston and the Pressure Cooker's release of "I've got the music in me," at that time the most accurate recording ever made. its almost as clear as a AAD CD reproduction from a reel-to-reel master. The frequency response characteristics from the B&O turntable (an amethyst stylus with a diamond welded on the end) is spectacular and every detail can be heard.

    RUSH is fun, I wish they'd evolved a littlle more like Boston has. Synthesizers were cool in the 60's and 70's, but less fashionable now.

  8. Fun to read can end up sacrificing informational and visa versa. I agree a dry clinical tone would be dull and certainly am not advocating that everyone do such. I think though that you, like Snow, tend to have your message obscured by your presentation.

    I think you are very correct.

    Besides being a trained technical observer, I am a highly trained debator; one of the first things taught about debate are to collect attention and direct it away from the topic by hyperbole or bombastic response. Its not something I intend to do, and its not an emotional response for sure; but its part of my very flawed personality.

    I have authored nearly a hundred technical articles, and I want to cry when reading them. I've also been published on satirical matters. Painful for me to read too. I don't really like reading what I've written, hearing what I've spoken (especially disgusted by the reprodouced sound of my voice - I sound, to me, like I have a pineapple stuffed down my longjohns), or having my opinions upheld or poo-poo'd by others.

    In fact, I wish I could just shut up most of the time.

    But another part of my flawed character requires that I attempt to right the wrongs I see, and it has been my experience that the pen truly is mightier than the sword. Unless someone is trying to stab you with a sword, then I want one too. Or an axe. Better yet, Id like a gun and all my friends to be there with a gun too. Or to just not be there when someone comes looking for me with a sword.

    You get my point.

  9. My apologies as well; I'm unintentinally bull-dogish when debating anything; nothing personal, its a character flaw.

    I may be using to many.. flourished words to be easily understood. My general theme is that we all, as we must, overcome our natural desires and conform to the social norms of courtship as part of the dating process. We cannot behave in any way we wish and expect to be selected by a potential mate. We must calm our desires, harness our energy, and intelligently seek out and win the heart of the One we are to be with.

    Wandering about aimlessly and without a plan leads many people into relationships that are unfulfilling or sometimes even dangerous or spiritually destructive.

    What have my dating experiences brought me?

    I have met and known many many women; some have enriched my life, and others have poisioned it. But I value every experience I've had. Some are relationships that I will cherish for as many years as I breathe, and although we were not suitable as partners, I hope our friendship will be maintained through the vail and into eternity. Others I cherish as a reminder of what I can become when not strictly following the dictates of my conscience; that I too can be destructive to the spirit of another if I do not consciously control that part of my psyche.

    I have known physicians and surgeons, a Judge and several minor Jurists; lawyers and executives, along with maids, waitresses, nanny's, and nurses. None were of any more value than the other, as all were all the beautiful daughter of some mother and father.

    I've had great relationships, and not so great one's. I was married for 14 years and had 4 lovely daughters.

    I currently am not dating because I lost my company last year and I've had to concentrate my finances to surviving the current economic depression. Yes, I am very lonely, but I haven't the ability to care for more obligations at the moment, so it would be disengenuous at the moment to date; as the purpose of dating is to find a spouse, and I cannot handle the added expense of maintaining another mouth.

    When I am more financially sound again, I probably won't date again, at least for a long while. I'm more interested in building relatioships that aren't of a marital nature so that I have the emotional support I need to carry me through the turbulance of courtship.

  10. I did wonder one thing though... wouldn't any civil marriage not performed in the temple also be considered a perversion of the Celestial family at the very worst, or a cheap imitation at the very least?

    Members are warned that marriage outside of Temple Covenants will not be recognized after mortal death, and Endowed members are forbidden by scripture and teaching to marry outside of the covenant. Many do, and it is not heavily stigmatized nowadays, but that is the law within the church.

    Technically, the one man one woman ideology is not the ideal celestial family either.

    Correctomundo

    I think we need to support all families no matter what part of the path they are on as they struggle to comply with the ideal. It seems disingenuous, and even hypocritical, to purposefully destroy a forming family just because they don't begin by meeting the level of perfection that is required for exaltation.

    I agree 100% From a little seed grows an enormous tree.

  11. I hate to defend Mr. T but people do modify their behavior depending on the situation they are in and the people they are around. You act differently around your boss than you do your friends, at church than at the amusement park. You act differently the day you lose your job than you do that day you graduate from college.

    So to that extent people do put on an act. Now if he means to say that people are (or worse should be) 100% fake all the time never revealing any part of who they are then that I do disagree with, but I'm not entirely sure that is what he is saying. I'm thinking the nuance may be getting lost in his bombast. Or to be fair I'm seeing nuance that he's not claiming.

    I use a lot of hyperbole and allegory when making a point. First its more interesting and easier to read, and second it allows sarcasm and humor; imagine how.. droll my 'bombast' would be if I presented every position dryly and precisely accurately scientifically and psychologically.

    I don't believe for a second that people should be 'fake' in their dealing with others; I am saying that people put on a mask of civility and courtesy daily, as they should. The Natural Man is a hideous being; we all learn to act differently when growing up. Hopefully.

    That's what's known as 'behaviour modification,' something we strive to help our children with daily. And convicted criminals. And pizza delivery boys.

    Its very appropriate to change the way we behave based upon our surroundings; I'd hate to be hanging out with my mates and have them all act as though they were trying to woo me; that would be just creepy. I'd much rather they punched me in the shoulder or tried to give me a wedgie; that's how guys show love towards each other.

    Just the same, I'd he horrified if some guy, or gal, did that to their date.

    I'm sorry you people take me so literally; I'm trying to actively engage in an interesting conversation that includes spirited debate on a lively topic in such a way that is fun to read and informational to those who haven't had these experiences or educations.

  12. FALSE. Only those that don't live true to themselves actually expect that everyone else does the same. You simply are not aware enough to understand how what you say about others is more of a reflection of your beliefs and processes, than it is of how other people operate.

    Im sorry that you disagree with me and modern psychology/psychiatry.

    You are not above daily role-playing. You are doing it with this post.

    It is humanity to cast off base desire and clothe One's self in a costume more appropriate for One's environment.

    Be intellectually honest with yourself; realize that you have the potential, by not even trying, to be foul; but instead choose to be fair. A choice that is made every day.

    Some people are able to go their whole lives and stay in character; some people are described by their neighbors as "...the nicest guy I ever met.. never though he was capable of donig that..." Rarely does anyone set out to rebel against Nature and Nature's God, its something that they slip into over time when not actively seeking to suppress their natural desires and instincts.

    That is the reason for the atonement.

  13. Without question, this is the worst piece of advice, comment, or statement ever made in this forum. I would consider all statements made before and after this comment by this individual to be null and void.

    Id, ego, and super-ego - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Nice way to take a sentence out of context and completely change the meaning of the statement. Did you learn this from James Carville or Ari Fleischer?

    The skill is known as "Reading comprehension," a skill that is in apparent decline lately.

    The superego of a man sees every problem as a conflict that requires a martial solution; a contest that must be won. As I stated IN CONTEXT, this is suppressed by courtship ritual and behaviour to be less adversarial and most.. spirited.

    Every relationship is a contest; why else would people say "I was eventually won over," or "He won my heart." One cannot win a contest that doesn't exist.

    Men also most contest against other suitors for the prize of the woman; a prize she freely makes of herself after allowing courtship and persuit.

    Don't want to be contested over? Withdraw from society.

    I'm not saying anything that isn't true; if you think you've above these base instincts, you're lying to yourself. The behaviours of man are as instincual and impossible to overcome as unconsciously breathing.

    I highly suggest everyone take a college level course on psychology, human sexuality, human interaction, or conflict resolution; learn why it is that you do the things you instinctually do. Maybe then you can consciously suppress the 'natural man' instead of denying his existance.

  14. Yeah, its better that homo's hide in closets, visit public baths and theatre's, and flambouyantly spend their days at waiters, travel agents, and stage dancing.

    C'mon, man. Use your head AND your heart. FAMILY is never a bad thing to form, even if its with someone who's not related to you. Every culture has this realization. The Hawai'ians call it "Ohana," Russians use the word "Bratia," and on and on.

    Fellowshipping for love and support isn't something that should be reserved for only those who fit into a certain catagory that you have arbitrarily and capreciously created to exclude those who do not conform to your particular passions and prejudices.

    Every man, woman, and child deserves the freedom to seek their own happiness as long as it does not harm me or interfier with my search for happiness. I am never harmed by the willful actions of consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes and relationships, to seek love, affection, companionship, and direction as they see fit.

    I live my life in ways that many others would find objectionable; I worship God as I see him, I obey laws as I interpret them; I form opinions based upon my perception of the question asked. I live my life according to the dictates of my conscience, and I celebrate that I live in the only nation ever conceived so on this earth that allows me to do this, and which allows all others the inalienable right to do the same thing; to live their lives as they see fit, according to the dictates of their conscience.

    "When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - Preamble to the Declaration of Independance, Thomas Jefferson, author.

    There is a difference between the laws of Man and the laws of God, and never, should Man attempt to enforce the laws of God on each other by the abuse of power of legislation through the laws of Man.

  15. No matter which way you dice and slice this, it's manipulation and it's absolutely the wrong way to go about having friends and entering into relationships.

    "All the world's a stage,

    And all the men and women merely players;

    They have their exits and their entrances;

    And one man in his time plays many parts,

    His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,

    Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;

    And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel

    And shining morning face, creeping like snail

    Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

    Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

    Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,

    Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,

    Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

    Seeking the bubble reputation

    Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,

    In fair round belly with good capon lin'd,

    With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

    Full of wise saws and modern instances;

    And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

    Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,

    With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

    His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide

    For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,

    Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

    And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,

    That ends this strange eventful history,

    Is second childishness and mere oblivion;

    Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." - Shakespeare

    Everyone puts on an act, everyday. Each morning we decide who we are going to be. We can decide to be humble that day, or an absolute SOB. Choosing to be kind and sweet is, hopefully, the act we can put on throughout our entire lives. Don't think for a moment that the 'sweetest' person you've ever known can't turn into the biggest jerk you've ever met under the right circumstances. Even Christ pulled out the bullwhip and chased the money lenders off of the Temple grounds.

    Men and Woman always modify their behaviours when around each other socially and romantically; its part of the mystique of gathering with potentil suitors. Would you even consider being courted by a man who burps, farts, and scratches his.. face while on a date? But you know that's what he does in private, and you also know that's what you do in private. And you know that when you're comfortable with eachother you'll do it in eachother's presence at that point.

    Or would you prefer a guy who treats you like what you really and truly are, deep down, to his superego??? A woman, like any contest, is to be won at any cost and by any method.

    I dunno about you, but I'd rather my daughter was courted by a guy who played the courtship game coyly, rather than bringing his club slung across his bare shoulder while his clothed loins squatted to pick her up and toss her across his shoulder, or grabs her by the hair to drag her back to his cave. There are appropriate times for the appearance of such activities, generally after the marraige contract has been signed, and never in a violent manner; but by and large coy innuendo and flirtateous innocent persuit are a much better tract to take.

    Do you not think that men and women felt the same way a hundred years ago as they do today? That the same urges and personality types existed? Perhaps that's why courting rituals were the way they were; coy glances, innocent remarks, chapperoned meetings, shy courtship; it was all an act back then; why was it OK at that point but not now?

    Courtship rituals and the maturity of courting couples changes with age. At my age I am past the impetuous and truly innocent hormonal persuit of puberty and young adulthood, but still within the age that it is appropriate to be mysterious, fun, coy, shy, agressive when appropriate, calm, thoughtful, and not necessarily braggadocious, but confident in One's ability to interpret and perform.

    At your age I imagine a lot of the courtship rituals and games are different; You've already lived quite a bit more than half your life, have had lovers and villians come and go, and are looking for companionship through friendship more than anything else. Or so I'm told by my ladyfriends in that age bracket.

    Most of my friends are female; most guys tend to either like me or hate me with few in between. They have coached me over the years on courtship behaviours and roleplaying; much the same way as what my mother shoud have when I was a young man.

    I get people interested in me by behaving in a manner that is attractive, before closing my lethal pedals around them.. oh, sorry, I was just looking at my Venus Flytrap... A marvelous adaptation of life it is!!!

  16. Who was it that said, when commenting on the blathering of celebrities, "Just shut up and dance, monkey!!!" Was that Anne Coulter?

    I like RUSH; saw them in concert back in "03" in Kansas City; a few months after KISS and Aerosmith in Omaha.

    KISS ain't the best music, for sure, and the performers themselves are utter swine (even and especially Gene Simmons - you wouldn't believe what I saw him do with my own two eyes backstage after their concert), but their performance is downright fun; and in comparison to modern pop queens like Spears and her ilk, I find the topics and lyrics of their songs to be much more.. wholesome.

    Silent Lucidity is a great piece, but its nothing in comparison to Suite Sister Mary or Electric Requiem or Eyes of a Stranger from Mindcrime, or One Foot in Hell, The hands, Re-arrainge you, or The Chase from Mindcrime II. If youve never heard those albums, I recommend purchasing them outright and listening to them through several times before forming an opinion. Instead of a variety ensamble, they're a true Opera, albeit a Rock Opera. The entire album is one long continuous story, told through overtures, movements, and solo pieces. Its a fantastically deep and sorrowful story filled with pity, abuse, revenge, regret, and finally redemption. Universal theme's found throughout all cultures from all times, and especially prevalent in the Scriptures.

    Being a HUGE fan of Opera (Turandot, Das Rheingeld - Der Valkure, Carmen, The Magic flute, Tosca, being amongst my favorites) I like my stories told in song and symbolism.

    I also like Kid Rock; not just because of his evolving style of music, but because beneath his drug-adelpated exterior he's a Patriot, having spent millions of his own dollars, without the urging or support of others, to provide entertainment to our Troopers in garrison and overseas; never having sought any publicity or personal benefit as a result. I've also seen him in concert several times, last time as Summerfest last June in Milwaukee, and he is very Pro-American and pro-American symbolism. Yeah, I don't really like people wearing the flag as clothing, but I'd sure rather have that than them spitting on it while they use it as floor covering. Of course, it is just a piece of fabric colored by pigment and has no real value other than as symbolism of ideals and a rally point. I fully support people who wish to burn it, walk on it, spit on it, cover their cars with it, or who cut it u and use it for toilet paper. Its their property after all. Do that to mine and we'll have a confrontation, likely a physical one, but that's for no other reason than you being disrespectful of my property.

    Anyway, ROCK ON!!!

  17. I think Gene Simmons is Jewish. And Alice Cooper's father was Mormon anyway, he's named Moroni Enoch or something similar to that, and Alice Cooper is pretty conservative.

    My favorite AC quote:

    If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.

    Pfft.. hahahaha!!!

    "Sleep all day, out all night; I know where you're going!" - Song Funk

  18. No, but Pam is one who enforces the rules here. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm pretty fed up with you going on and on about how great you are, and how the ladies swoon for you, and how you'd like to knock this or that person around. Get over yourself. If you can't, then talk to yourself about it, because other people just don't care how great you are.

    I suggest you put my on your 'ignore' list.

    And if you can't see that I'm being sarcastic about myself, I recommend you take a course in english comprehension. There is a reason I use the words I do, construct the sentences the way I do, use the punctuation the way I do, and add emoticons the way I do. And that is to convey the message that I'm taking myself as serious as I deserve; which is not at all.
