[The Iconoclast]

Thank you mother...me and the boys have been talking, and we promise we'll never do it again. I know I didn't have to do that to Alf, but he was a necessary sacrifice. Of course my point never seems to stand and whenever I make one I just have to hear: you're not god! Thank you einsteeeeen.

It's that American mentality that drives me nuts. Noone is better or worse. Everyone's equal. Some egalitarian society THIS turned out to be. I'm sorry but we ARE different. The way I'm different is in my overly analytical mode of thought. If you interpret that as me saying I'm better than you...by all means go ahead. That's the thing people...noone IS better or worse...those terms are too relative to have meaning...and too circumstancial. But we are different and its not just cuz we look different.

I've had to listen to this BS for years. a student in my class was picked to read a brief passage on world history. This was like in the 10th grade. The guy could barely read and this was a totally basic passage from a handout made for ****ing 8th graders. So I said: I think they should reinstitute literacy tests in school. Of course I say this under my breath to my friend who's sitting next to me, but the teacher heard it too since she was standing right next to me. She pulls me out of the classroom and says: You think you're better than everyone? Well some of these kids don't come home to any parents and they have noone to sit and read with them. Blah blah blah...I'm not better than everyone and I'm concieted yada yada yada.

I wanted to tell her that my single working mother didn't have time to read with me either. Yet here I am with my literacy...and he without. Just an average high school student...can't read. But we're not allowed to tell him he's stupid. God forbid you let people have a taste of reality. Lets find ten thousand justifications for WHY he's sub par instead of simply telling him he's a moron so he can deal with this fact and maybe do something about it instead of hiding from it forever. We always hide from everything real. Mentally ill people are called special. Sure, maybe telling them they're mentally ill wouldn't help budge them towards constructive action. But lets say we had a group of schizophrenics...we told them they're special and not schizophrenic. They lead their schizophrenic lives thiking they're special and not dealing with the fact that they are outside their ****ing minds. They don't take their medication because they're special and not schizophrenic.

it's funny how I didn't even bring to light the most obvious hypocricy on all your parts (those who repeatedly accuse me of concietedness and bearing an ill will towards opposition)

did you see me call alcar an idiot when he disagreed with my proposal? no.

did you see me say anything bad to xav when he made his counter offer? no. I simply pointed out that it wouldn't achieve the intended goal. Then I got flamed because I wasn't hanging off Xav's dick like everyone expected me to. Sorry to dissapoint.

So in cases where I get intelligent counters and opposition, I am gracious, civil, and thoughtful. But when I get stupid snots telling me every other post that I'm not god I think my resentment can be understood if not condoned.

But lets not mention those cases where I am civil. Lets be like Al Sharpton and twist every word, statement, and event to our benefit and ommit the entire truth. Half truths and whole lies people...

I'm not going to quote shit here...you can read it yourselves...but of course I'm not really appealing to anyone willing to let reason into their minds...just wanted to plead my case

sorry alf...I needed you to make a point...I just regret sacrificing you for a point that doesn't seem to get across..except to arxryll but he's so riled up he doesn't pay any heed
