Griz better at basketball and better at volunteering

[Grizlaw]

As for Grizlaw give him a break he lives in New York and anyone who has ever known anyone who spent any amount of time in New York, knows they all think it's the center of the universe and they are superior beings becasue of it. Much like people who have lived in San Fransisco... oh wait I lived in San Fransisco.

(easy grizlaw and BAC this was smack and smack only.)

No offense taken. Let's face it, if I wasn't a little bit of a prick, I would've skipped law school and just gotten a job as an elf at the North Pole or something.

Grizlaw, people wouldn't jump down your throat if you didn't act so condescending. Some of us are happy living in Montana, and don't need to know people on Wall Street to feel like we are the big men on campus. I also have to agree, I think your dream woman is fictional. I heard that she use to go out with Bill Brasky...

G.W., I really don't think I was being condescending. People on this thread took the position that people who volunteer overseas are people who don't have job options. I gave an example of someone I know who doesn't fit that mold, and somehow I'm the a-hole now?

The irony in all of this is that this discussion was started by people who were being condescending (i.e., putting down others who they perceive to have no job prospects). You would insult someone from my school who, in your eyes, has weak credentials and no job options, but as soon as I point out that there are people in this world with stronger credentials and better prospects than most on this thread, I'm being condescending? K...gotcha.

As for whether the friend I described is real or not, like I said before, I really don't care what you believe. The fact that the only response you and Gato have been able to muster is to throw a tantrum and tell me I'm lying indicates that my point has been made. You don't have to believe me; just look at the other schools that appear on that list: Cornell, Penn, Brown. What do you think those students do after they're done in the Peace Corps; do you think they all end up working at Starbucks? Or are they all "fictional" as well? Or wait, I forgot...they're all trust fund babies, right?

--GL

Uh, GL pretty much just knocked all of you the f**k out. You'll probably want to shut up now.

I didn't laugh.

It wasn't a joke.

Yeah, getting "knocked the f**k out" on a message board is really something......

[rtb]

Awesome. Mocking fellow posters on the board is really going to do the trick isn't it?

I think this whole thread is just a reminder to us all not to take ourselves to damn seriously. It's all good natured ribbing.

[Ponycat]

Was it Christopher Hitchens? That sounds like the kind of thing he would do.

I'm pretty sure that is who it was.

Okay, I'll translate: "Grizlaw is winning this argument handily". Better?

I rib my brother about this all the time. He was an architect out there for 2 years and obviously is a better architect becasue of it.

[SonomaCat]

I have this strange urge to slam somebody for doing volunteer work, and then copping a victim complex if somebody tells me that my criticism is unwarranted.

Awesome. Mocking fellow posters on the board is really going to do the trick isn't it?

Ummm, is this the smack board, or did I wander into the Twilight Zone after that last drink?

And is mocking posts that mock another poster for mocking the original posters who were mocking Peace Corps volunteers that they don't know anything about on a smack board a bad thing?

If you want to call this an "argument", then knock yourself out.

"knocked the f**k out" on the internet.........

That's pretty rich.......

No, that's why it's the smack board. Of course, you're always true to form in adding your bit of condescension to everything. Of course, I'm assuming you haven't figured that out about yourself with regards to your posting personality on these boards.

[UMclassof2002]

lifesloyal is in a VERY bad mood today

[Grizlaw]

Someone else here is condescending too? Sweet; I was starting to get lonely...

[lifeloyalsigmsu]

Unfortunately, that's true. Working 13 out of the last 14 days will do that.

I'm going to bow out for some time.

Ahhhh, you tryin' to hurt my feelins, sig?

Funny that this is the first bit of condescension you have called out in a thread full of it ...

Actually, it wasn't.

Thanks for playing though

I prefer the term "urban-Americans" ... you damn backwoods redneck.

Oh, I stand corrected. I had mistakenly assumed that mocking the lifestyles and decisions of others and claiming superiority over said people was a form of condescension. My gull durn dictionary must be dun busted.

I could really learn a lot from a guy like you. Will you be my friend?

Nah, the dictionary's hiding under the Ivy League diploma of your friend's friend.....

[Grizzfan]

Military people who trumpet their acheivements as vastly superior to anybody else's are a ssholes, Griz fans or not.

I couldn't pass this one up.

As the guy who originally started the banter about Peace Corps pukes and as one who spent 31 years defending your right to spout jibberish, I take great umbrage at your assertion. You damn right my achievements and those of my brothers and sisters are superior. We've been there, taken the bullets, and helped folks in need, especially ones like you buddy. I am Griz and I am Bobcat. But mostly, we helped the good folks of the USA, to whom my loyalty and compassionate outreach go FIRST.

What a boring thread
