Am I, in fact, an ass?

May 31, 2003 23:24 Am I, in fact, an ass?
The age old question...
Jun 01, 2003 19:13
I don't know you, but yes. You are, indeed, an ass. :lol:
Jun 01, 2003 21:28 It's more of a personal evalulation
Well, the question isn't really about me, per se, but about anyone who has asked it.

You may just find yourself saying "why, yes, I am an ass, at least sometimes."

The key is to avoid being ASHAMED of this revelation. It's ok. Really. Embrase your inner ass. Be at peace with it.

If, for instance, you should be banned from the irc channel for behavior that some might consider becoming of an ass, well, you have two choices: Be angry, or upset, or hang your head in shame for your assitude.

Me, I'm kinda pleased. I guess it's like dharma: If an ass I be, then doggone it, I'm gonna do my best at it.

Besides, you may find that those who call you on being an ass are in deep conflict over the fact that they have been asses all their lives. It's sort of like J. Edgar Hoover and his homosexuality: He oppressed queers, because he hated himself.

I would never oppress an ass.

Hehe, I like your philosophical way of thinking. Do you enjoy debates?
Jun 03, 2003 16:08 not an ass
Pleas don’t encourage assonance.
Jun 03, 2003 21:16 Whah?
Hmmm...

"assonance": From the latin assonans, to respond to, and sonare, sound. 1. Resemblance in sound, esp. in the vowel sounds of words. 2. A partial rhyme in which the accented vowel sounds correspond but the consonants differ.

I hate to say, but in this game, you've got to be smart, or I'll do you harm.

Sorry for the assonance, pal.

Jun 05, 2003 01:39

This is not what I call funny, this is what a call some dumbass trying to be funny.
Jun 05, 2003 05:05
I agree. Phantom187 did, in fact, make himself look like a dumbass.
Jun 05, 2003 18:03 Phantom187
Look, I wasn't trying to be funny. The thing I was referring to was that Sickboy was trying to look like a smart guy and trying to make me look dumb but the fact is no one can remember the exact definition like that and it wasn't in his own words so to me this is not something to make me be on his side pfft.. Which apparently you guys are :roll: .

If I want to use a word like assonance I can. It doesn't matter that I use this word because humans have always used words to mean other things by just the way they sound SO DON'T Trial ME! The other thing I want to take everyone off is the whole YOU SPELLED IT WRONG thing. First of all I've never read a book with old English that didn't have a different spelling so who the heck is to say which is the rite spelling and which is the wrong. Without change we cannot go forward so to me it is apparent that all you guys are just sticks in the mudd. Who's to say that my way of spelling is not more proficient than another one? If you ask me I'd rather spend eternity in a box than be belittled by two people who have shit to give the world.
Jun 05, 2003 18:11 Wow
This whole thread just proves my point so beautifully...
Jun 05, 2003 18:20
and hows that"your so smart"?
Jun 05, 2003 18:26
Sickboy said -->This whole thread just proves my point so beautifully...

Sir your not getting away with that, I'm sorry. Every scientific evaluation has somthing to back it up. You can't just be stating things and have nothing to back what you said up. Let see smart mouth. How does it prove what you said? :evil:
Jun 05, 2003 18:35
Awww :( papa googoo daddy mommy booboo googoo
Jun 05, 2003 18:48
:cry: Jeez sick boy... I hope... I hope I havn't offended you.
Jun 05, 2003 19:16
but the fact is no one can remember the exact definition like that and it wasn't in his own words


The truth is, intelligent people do exist. Amazing isn't it, Phantom187?

Go to a good debate forum and you'll come across people who can remember much more than a mere definition. Just because you cannot remember something utterly simple doesn't mean we are all bound by your incompetence.

Uh, phantom, I'm not doing a clinical psychology or sociology study here. Perhaps I use "prove" when the evidence is less convincing than almighty TRUTH, but given your language skills, you're hardly one to be arguing semantics with anybody.

As for my point, it's simply that the world is crawling with asses. We are in good company. But if you're gonna be an ass, at least be an entertaining and thought-provoking ass, will ya?

The other point is asses shouldn't go lording over other asses for being asses. Y'know, the whole glass houses thing. One can be irritating without hurting anybody seriously. In fact, the less seriously one takes it, the less a little sarcasm or rebelliousness hurts.

Of course, some asses must consider that they do not live in a democracy of asses. In such a situation, they must be judicious in their self-expression lest they incur the wrath of the asses-with-power (AWP). AWP like their power. They feel it elevates them above the average ass. Not true, but nobody said life was fair. One can minimize the impact of the hypocracy of ass-oppression by simply not caring. It tends to deflate AWP bubbles awful fast, I suspect.
