When I make general statements that show that I for example disagree with you (or others), I also respect that you are equal to me, and you can express your view in a fair way, and in this case, you openly said you disagreed with me. There was no reason to try to change each other's views. The best we can ever hope for is to influence each other. Influence is great, because it happens when people are calm and keep the communication flowing. And it happens when someone is open to it and chooses to accept it. I've personally learned a lot on this board through influence. Frankly, when people beat me over the head with stuff, I shut it out.

You're referring to ego definitions, such as "smarter", or moral definitions which are arbitrary. I am not. I'm referring to who you are. You are not your behaviours, or your intelligence.
You are no better or worse than Hitler or Tom Cruise.
who am i if not the sum of my thoughts and actions?
right..........so your "wrong" is better..........
What's this about denial???? When there is no justification there is no justification. Whether it's something you've done, or something I've done.
becos i'll take an honest douchebag over a hypocrite any day. at least the douchebag tells you he's offering you shit. the hypocrite is trying to convince you the shit is gold.

My brother's one of the top barristers in the UK, and I just emailed him with that statement. He gives nine thumbs up and says you'll do well in the profession.
He should just hide under his giant, fake horse teeth.
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all

I'll take that seriously, Conor. We can talk about that in PMs, and I'll find out out what the deal is at my brother's chambers (which are in Gray's Inn, London, if you care to Google).

Considering the ego is the sliver of us that interfaces with the world, our thoughts/actions that navigate our way in the world are a tiny portion of who we are. Granted, most people identify solely with the ego.

Are you saying you don't contradict yourself, ever?

not that i can recall. certainly not in the same sentence. also, there is a difference between contradiction and hypocrisy. for instance, contradiction might be a pro-lifer supporting the death penalty. hypocrisy is saying "you shouldn't judge people, you evil sadist."
I'd just like to take a moment to let you all know i posted this same exact story on the 28th. It didn't get no where near this amount of attention as jlew's thread.
I'm seriously miffed!

It looks like you are the one and only human being to be perfect. And you walked willingly into that one....Yep, you'll make a good lawyer... "not that I can recall"......
But at least you are "above" me, by being "honest" and not a "hypocrite".....
The irony of being a hypocrite about being a hypocrite. It's enough to let your hypocritical self-righteousness speak for itself.

not being a hypocrite doesn't make me perfect. just means i don't play passive-aggressive head games and preach acceptance while practicing judgmentalism in the same breath.

For you--or any human being for that matter--to pretend you can't recall an instance of acting hypocritical is ludicrous....especially when trying so desperately to pin the scarlet "h" on another for being hypocritical.
"I don't play headgames".......... yeah.....uh-huh.....You fell prey to the classic "I'm self-righteous" approach, when minimizing someone else for their so-called self-righteousness.

It seems to me angelica, that what you were really trying to say at the start of this thread is that we shouldn't mock Tom Cruise's idiotic beliefs any more than we should mock any other religious person's idiotic beliefs.
I agree. They're all equally idiotic.
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

so believing in jesus christ or allah is equally as idiotic as believing aliens will invade america?

Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
so believing in jesus christ or allah is equally as idiotic as believing aliens will invade america?
there is a better chance of aliens invading my living room during the cubs playoff games this week...........
than there is of GOD existing...............
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
