It's not so much how often he's wrong that irritates me. It's how an idea crosses his brain pan that every slightly above average student toyed with in Junior high when puberty chemicals and/or marijuana started making them want have extra deep rap sessions, and he thinks he's had some stroke of genius and he needs people to know what a special extra deep guy he is, like not just a 'warrior' but a PHILOSOPHER POET warrior, sort of a brawling macho Norman Mailer type.

And when you won't share in and validate what an extra deep guy he is because by the time you hit eighteen you were starting to realize that everybody else has mulled over all the same shit you did and thought they were extra deep during the whole puberty/marijuana period, YOU'RE the one who's being difficult.

Kulture Kitty. If you are still reading; express ONE single thought, carefully and clearly. Succeed in that without patting yourself on the extra deep back and preening and I'll address your 'point', instead of pointing out what a buffoon you are.
