It's ironic how you celebrate individuality, yet you can easily characterize hundreds of millions of people.

That was an amusing troll; we're done now, thank you for your performance.

The word is psychobabble. You should see a doctor about having your hypen removed.

Buddig, I think what you mean is that there are no answers, except those that you provide for us.

Ah, look, a haughty european expert on the many ways that I, as an American, am fucked up. My personal space is roughly six feet, and you're a freakin' cliche.

There is no better book on the subject of madness and sanity? Are you insane? If I ever went to see a psychiatrist for anti-social/anger issues (which I don't have), and he told me that a fictional (I don't give a rat's ass how many metaphors are in it, it's fiction) book written in the 1600's was his sole teacher and reference, I'm afraid I'd have to beat him with it just for wasting my time.

Works of art are not meant to be understood or appreciated by all, regardless of intellect or status. I completely fail to understand how your enjoyment and knowledge of a particular piece of art makes anyone else, who doesn't appreciate it (and therefore can't be bothered to remember a name that is essentially meaningless to them), a "true" ignoramus. Rather, it makes me again question the validity of your implied claim of superiority.

If you're attempting to spread some culture, great; but turn off the personality, it's detracting from your efforts, and distracting at best.

Did you know that buddug spelled backwards is guddub? Ok, anyway.

I was - excuse me for a sec.... I had a thought but it was one of those thoughts you have where you realize you have a thought before you know what the thought is so you sort of have to wait for it to come out. Ok, I'm ready now.

You sort of remind me of one of those types who smokes pot but doesn't realize that the "brilliant insights" you get when you smoke pot are really neither brilliant nor insightful.

Somebody had to break it to you, I suppose.

Yeah, beestie... kind of like a rabid Tool fan.

When I get in that mood... I can impale on sharp jabs of unexpected teenage angst and rage harnessed into brutal, cynical barbs.

Bud, I spent some years as a secretary. The rule is that you put a space after a period, not before. Some old-school secretaries add two spaces.

I was not old school.

Of course, HTML makes that choice for you by turning all whitespace into a single space.
