    Better yet, how about we all make a pledge to not reply to any of persianfootball's threads?

    I pledge.

    I saw Nirvana. One of the best shows I ever saw.

    On second thought, something more like lithium might be in order.

    I was home from college for a break, and a high school friend that I didn't feel like hanging out with called. I never called her back (I know, very rude). When eventually I did talk to her, it turned out she'd had an extra ticket to see Nirvana and she had wanted to invite me. Because she knew how much I loved Nirvana.

    That was their last tour. I guess that's... karma.

    How is the desire to practice selfish?


    I think the more pertinent question is why some posters never get dispirited or discouraged even when their thoughts are constantly the subject of universal ridicule?

    It is interesting that you describe enlightenment as being the same as sociopathology.

    I'm still a bit too attached to worldly pleasures to be able to reach nirvana in this lifetime. Maybe next time.

    "William Blake?"
    "William Blake!"
    "What do you mean William Blake?"

    Just the other day I told a guy that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap.

    Coincidence. I think so. Probably anyway. Or not.

    do you not realize who you are talking to? still?

    why are you factually and logically embarrassing yourself and others? that just means that not only are you agitated, but there is a bunch of you. at least you didnt feel the need to hide. hilarious. so factually and logically this post of yours was another goal for me against 'team agitated.' you just factually and logically proved that i overwhelmed you and some other people, and consequently they got agitated and lost it. LOL. shooting yourself in the foot are you? hilarious.

    a wise man once said that 'if the majority are against you, you are doing something right.'

    And I would like to add that I repped Justin Z for his incredibly apt "Dunning Kruger" post on the first page. I'm pretty sure I'm not mentioned above.

    Ha, that would corroborate my theory that PF is a sociopath.

    chasing morality is completely different to being a sociopath. and i already said i condemn murder, heavy torture, and unreasonable punishment in all cases. its funny how you support bombing people and call other people sociopaths.

    Ah yes, "logic" and "facts."

    Sounds about right.
