okay, listen, shut up.
i don't think a paragraph of text on a message board will change someone's life. i've been on dante's side in many a 2pac bootlegging discussion. no matter how epic your words are they don't reach through. i know this by experience and do not attempt to lecture people years older than me. obviously, the latter half of my post was not serious but more a jab in eric's side. you know, to annoy him. see: happy smiley after you criticize someone. often used.
as for the first paragraph. i'm right/it's true. it didn't take any self analysis or life evaluations, from joking around and having some jokes that fail and some that succeed, you learn this. well, maybe you don't as you seem to think of it as some higher science (different plateau lol), but most people do.
if you want to diss me, please have a point that's something other than "your post is long" or "stop the philosophy crap". you can ignore the post and not respond to it, you are not required to respond when you ignore it (i know that sentence doesn't make sense, i'm implying that you could have STFU and my future posts would be equally unaffected by you).
