Poll on the way...

cryptowonderdruginvogue 06.18.2008 03:47 PM

I'm an asshole

acousticrock87 06.18.2008 03:49 PM

7-8

I'm pretentious as fuck in my head, but I pretend to be humble so people will recognize how great I am.

✌➬ 06.18.2008 03:50 PM

Whoever votes 1-2 is a pretentious fuck.

floatingslowly 06.18.2008 03:53 PM

HECKLER SPRAY 06.18.2008 04:03 PM

I think 3 is a good number, I don't know why.

People say I'm humble, well, I don't know, probably.
I don't like to be in the spotlight.

girlgun 06.18.2008 04:04 PM

i'm really not pretentious at all. i believe that involves self importance and a sense of entitlement... which are two of the things i detest most.

Savage Clone 06.18.2008 04:07 PM

I don't know that my level of pretentiousness can be measured.
What's infinity plus one?

davenotdead 06.18.2008 04:07 PM

pitchfork rated me a 7.1

Aren't we all pretentious, come on we dig SY.

∞ + 1 = Savage Clone.

acousticrock87 06.18.2008 04:10 PM

Infinity plus one is just infinity. Don't you get it? Your childhood was a lie!

Education kills dreams.

!@#$%! 06.18.2008 04:10 PM

i don't think i'm pretentious, as i don't pretend... but am i naturally and spontaneously an arrogant know-it-all asshole? you bet. it's all real though-- i really think the things i say (crazy i know) and it's not a pose or a cover for anything -- the only thing i try to cover on a regular basis is my impatience with people-- i breathe deeply & tell myself to be nicer & not lose my fucking temper. inhale... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... exhale... !@$!%@%!%!%!%!%....

It looks like math just got bored and started pissing on philosophy.

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:16 PM

everyone always pisses on philosophy

Savage Clone 06.18.2008 04:27 PM

I piss in the toilet.
Is philosophy a toilet?
Sometimes.

floatingslowly 06.18.2008 04:37 PM

HEAVY.

Rob Instigator 06.18.2008 04:40 PM

who said that the only philosophical question worth asking is "do I kill myself?"

No, the question was "To be or not to be?"

Glice 06.18.2008 04:44 PM

"...whether 'tis nobler in the mind..."

Anyway. I'm not very pretentious. I'm incredibly earnest. I may be trecherous and deluded, but I assure you, any wankery contained herewith is entirely in 'good faith'.

I always think anyone using the insult 'pretentious' [or 'pretencious'] tends to miss the thrust of what they're trying to say.

radarmaker 06.18.2008 05:42 PM

Pretension implies pretence. I do not pretend.

pbradley 06.18.2008 06:04 PM

What is this shit? Everyone has pretenses. A pretense, without the negative connotation, is merely an assumption taken as truth in order from greater reasoning to develop. If a person didn't have pretenses, they would have to logically explain every action they perform, all premises and premises of premises laid out. You are pretentious for waking up in the morning. You are pretentious for going to work. You are pretentious for assuming your wife loves you. Yes, I have a lot of pretenses. When I eat food, I like to assume that it will nourish my body.

Living rationally is pretentious.
