Are you kind of a big deal?

[rcpratt]

Definitely a huge deal.

 

[Zargon]

I've got a few of those

I'm on a first name basis with the local PD/FD cheifs ETC, but that doesnt make me a big deal....


now there is motorcycle roadracing forum Im on, that has a motogp racer that posts on it often....he's kind of a big deal...

 

[Malak]

wow. you must not read/get out much if you actually believe that.

I'd like to see you prove me wrong. You run for president, I'll do my thing. Let's see who helps people more.

I was actually in an elevator at city hall once with another guy who introduced him as head of the city council. I just smiled and nodded. I forgot his name before I left the elevator, I don't even know what a city council does. But I'm pretty sure my neighbor is more well known in this town than the head of the city council is.

you have a very narrow view of this world, and cultures, and other countries.

that is my point.

I know you're not a kid....I think...but it's laughable to think that you can be of a certain age and truly believe that ALL OF US are born with the exact same potential for advancement or influence.

I mean...fuck man: India? China? Fucking Russia/USSR??? Burma? DPRK?
and on and on

seriously???

I'm a faster runner than most people I know, I'm well-hung and I moonlight as a professional ass model.

Yes I'm a big deal .

Yes, seriously. I know an Indian who grew up in a respectable family, on his way to high rank in a government job. Left it all when he was studying abroad. When he went back to India to help people, he was nearly beat to death. He doesn't stop going back. Just because the government doesn't want you, or even makes laws against you, doesn't actually prevent you from making those decisions. Can't be Christian in China, but the church is growing even still. We've got Burma refugees throughout my hood, they host a church service in our church. We also have another new group of refugees from another Asian country come and will be hosting a church service in our church. While many escape to America, many also go back and continue to help their country.

No government can stop you. No law can prevent you from doing what is right. The only thing that stops you, is you. Anything less than an idealistic hope for this world is the definition of defeatism. Even for you I have hope.

 

[vi edit]

Nope. I'm just a fairly forgettable guy. And I don't have a problem with that.

I am locally because I am the president of a youth football league that has about 2,000 kids participating in it. I've been interviewed for magazines and newspapers in the area, and have had other leagues across the country contact me for advise. So, I'm someone in a medium sized city in a niche market. Plus, I'm just awesome.

 

[olds]

I don't even know who I am.

 

[KeithTalent]

You know you don't come off anywhere near as pompous in real life!

We are all born with an equal amount of influence. Lowly citizen to leader of a country, we all have the same choices and the same chances to do good on this Earth.

wow. you must not read/get out much if you actually believe that.

Yea, that immediately struck me as a huge load of arse...

I've been thinking recently how lucky I am to have the opportunity to do good things, and how I should take more of those opportunities when they come up - there are billions of people in this world who's most important problem is where their next meal is coming from, not how they can exert influence on the world as a whole...

so basically you aren't all that bright eh?

 

[tatteredpotato]

I couldn't imagine life without me

I'm just messing with you man.

[rudder]

One day maybe... for now I just rely on the big deal in my pants for recognition.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I wonder if his neighbor is Zane?

 

[yllus]

i'm not but I answered yes to the poll.

You are the reason we can't have nice things!

My Dad always ended up President of whatever sports thing or youth group I was involved in. He also always ended up in a high ranking position, often President, in the professional groups he belonged to.

But he never let it any of this go to his head.

He said the position is always yielded to the chump most willing to give up large chunks of his time for free.

As for you being awesome, no one who can't properly spell "advice" or who simply doesn't know advice /= advise should be allowed to label themselves awesome unless they misspell "awesome," which would work in a kind of post-modern, self-referential way.

 

[Malak]

Petty and logically inaccurate insults do get a tad annoying after a while. If you are going to insult me, at least make it accurate and funny. I don't have any problem laughing at my own expense, but what you typed just makes me roll my eyes.

 

[Malak]

I wonder if his neighbor is Zane?

I don't think so, but a few people here do live pretty close to me. They just don't know it.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

LOL, I know.

 

[alkemyst]

fuck yeah dawg. Those shirts out there you see were based on me.

 

[Perknose]

Well! You sure showed him . . . not.

I don't even know what a city council does.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Also, don't confuse ignorance with humility.

But I'm pretty sure my neighbor is more well known in this town than the head of the city council is.

Sexual predator lists do have that effect. :awe:

Do0d, I understand what you are going for here and have more sympathy for it than might be apparent, but the ham-handed clumsiness of your approach has made you seem more cluelessly arrogant than idealistically humble.
