Oh my God! I cannot believe you are actually telling us what makes you so "classy" and "sophisticated". Your tastes in drink, music, and art impress me beyond description. This is too easy! Please tell us more. You are proving my point to all who are reading this. The more you praise yourself, the more accurate your boastful statements must be, right? (wink, wink)

If you recall the post in question:

Do sophisticated people actually refer to themselves as "sophisticated"?

My answer to your query was, in fact, "yes"...and I asked if you doubted my credentials...which you did...so I sought to elaborate.
People, here , seem to make no bones about tearing a soul down, why then would the self same folk throw a hissy fit over someone singing their own praises (since it's not forthcoming from any quarter here). Everyone else here seems to pat themselves on the back, at every turn...why not I?
I guess it's permissible for others to call you everything "but" a child of God, but don't dare defend yourself. How stupid is that?

This is the most hilarious statement ...ever. Someone trying to prove to other people on an internet forum that they are "sophisticated"! I love it! The martini quote had to be my favorite. Shaken, not stirred...like James Bond. Hmmm, you probably don't like James Bond though. I have been working lately and haven't had time to post anything on here, but I just recently read all the latest forums.... interesting to say the least.
Its kind of turned into some name calling...and personal attacks, but the big picture here is the politics! We are not all going to agree on the same thing.....NEVER. We have different backgrounds and beliefs, different personal religious beliefs and sexual preferences. We will never change each others minds or views, but we Obviously love to discuss our views. So lets get to it. Its definately not wrong to "defend yourself", but it does seem that you arronssongs enjoy the fighting aspect of this forum. Which I guess is why you and most people are on here....to argue. So lets go, lets argue...but when you get personal you just tend to make people angry. Maybe thats what you want to do.... if it is, then so be it. The gloves can always come off.

LOL well stated. I believe Id met EGO and SUPEREGO is getting ready to emplode.

Well I wear red rubber boots, drink scotch on the rocks and I wear dresses when I mow my lawn. I drive a truck and I've read every classical book written twice. My favorite is A Tale of Two Cities. I own a Tiara and I've been known to wear it just to upset the person who left it on my patio as an insult to me. On to music: I love Opera, yep that's right OPERA. Not those three sissy fellas El Diva, they sound like chanters not Opera Singers. My favorite artist is Pavarotti, he makes me cry when he sings Nessun dorma (no man shall sleep) my second favorite is Russell Watson and his song This is a lullaby.

Wow this is fun, Crack come on give up the ghost and tell me what you drink and listen to? What about you bizket?

I drink Yoo-Hoo and Tang. I usually listen to Scott Joplin, Ray Stevens, and Bollywood showtunes. I like to have friends over to order pizza and watch college football or reality TV. Sitting on the coffee table when they arrive is a squeeze bottle of ranch dressing for dipping the pizza. I don't own any pets, but if I did, they would definitely have human names like Todd or Ellen. When I leave the house, I am usually wearing either a sumbrero or a beret.

Sophistication is an acquired trait. I became familiar with martinis, precisely from Bond movies, and became fond of the taste and the ambiance.
I also play chess and bridge....other hallmarks of sophistication, as opposed to dominoes and crazy 8's. Go figure.
Jazz, conversation, politics, poetry, art, classical music...all part and parcel of things and persons sophisticated. Don't hate, imitate, it's the most sincere form of flattery.

Great! I would never want to carry the air of self-importance of someone who actually refers to himself as "sophisticated" and then pathetically backs it up with his choice of beverage and music. You should probably stop now.

Ok, since you're so astute, why don't you enlighten all of us, as to your definition of sophistication.....it takes one to know one...I'm all ears.
Hard to elaborate with a screen name, such as you have. It "oozes" sophistication. LOL

I decline. I don't claim to be sophisticated, and I really don't take myself that seriously. I just want to reinforce that self-proclamation, in my opinion, is typically a dead giveaway that the claim is not so.

For your own sake, you really should let this thread die. You are not doing yourself any favors by drawing more attention to it.

Coward. The reason you don't, is because you can't. I don't talk about what I don't know...I would never set myself up to be torn down...Just because your life experiences haven't enriched your life to the point of being content and appreciative, doesn't mean that the rest of us, haven't arrived.
It's sounds like a cut and dried case of "sour grapes', if you ask me, which you didn't. I know who I am...seems as if you still are searching. At your old age!

My life is great. I feel content, enriched, and appreciative. I just don't think most people reading a political forum are here to impress each other, and they certainly don't give a sh!t about my alcoholic beverage of choice.

Again, I recommend you stop this nonsense. The more you post on this thread, the more people will see how important you think you are.

Zing you won that round Crack, LOL. Pompous pontificating Academic wanna be would be my impression of Aarronssong. At least you are in Uni, not pretending you went.

I love Ranch dressing for dipping pizza crust in, ketchup also. I love the idea of a beret so very Francais.

As I stated, I have watched it, on occasion, so I am aware of the type of yellow journalism that goes on there, so you're quite mistaken.

Your take, not mine....you questioned my sensibilities, and the fact that I thought that my tastes were sophisticated...I gave you examples to support my claim...instead of shooting the messenger, why not take said messenger at his or her word...go back and look at the thread. I would have never brought it up, otherwise.

Again, I recommend you stop this nonsense. The more you post on this thread, the more people will see how important you think you are.

I am important...I hope that they think themselves important...if not, there may be some self-esteem issues that need to be dealt with....and from what I've seen, nothing could be closer to the truth than that. And is it nonsense because you said so? That wouldn't be you, thinking yourself important, would it?

@crackface mcgee,
You got me, Aaron! Congratulations. You are important and interesting and sophisticated and enriched, but I'm bored. And I'm sure the other readers are, too.

Sorry to all who have suffered here due to my prolonging of this pile of crap. He won't quit, but I'm done.

Except that I have the credentials to back up my pontificating. What do you have, other than typical "frustrated housewife dribble", masquerading as competence, especially about "things American", which is opinion you can keep to yourself, as it doesn't really matter what it is you think?
If I were you, I'd enroll in a remedial English or American Government course, so as not to seem moronic, whenever you choose to share "your thoughts".
Dipping pizza crust in dressing, and ketchup???? How "rustic".
And for the umpteenth time....it's Aaronssongs( I'm a songwriter....get it? Aaron's songs!!! ) rocket science

Do you know what this whole round and round "I'm cooler than you" nonsense reminds me of????? High School...no wait, Jr. High! Thats it!!! Jr. High my friends. aaronssongs, I want to commend you for totally making yourself look like a unpopular kid in Jr High trying to make all the other kids like you. I have intensely enjoyed it, thank you. You obviously have tried to surround yourself with things that you think make you "look cool" in front of the people you consider your peers. Really, it has been very entertaining.
There are few people that I strive it imitate in this world...Christ, and my Mother to name the top two. In no way, form or fashion would it ever be you or the likes of you from what I have come to know by your strayed views and childish behavior in this forum.
Good day.

Oh, and for the record...sophistication is not an aquired trait. You're either born with it, or your not....Sorry to correct you.

What a tirade....and I'm accused of being emotional! I've never seen such juvenile whining...all because you can't have it your way.
The original posting which brought me "under fire" was, in part, as follows:
"....And for your information, I don't consider most of the networks, including CNN, "the news"...I'm far too sophisticated for that. But I am savvy enough to realize that their newscasts are less diluted and more "middle of the road", and therefore, less "agenda-driven", than say Fox News, which is owned by ultra right arch conservative Rupert Murdoch...and you don't think he has an agenda, do you?"

What the hell did I say that for? I have been taken to the shed for an innocent statement...I really don't think myself all that "high and mighty", but I'll damn well put myself, my intelligence, my achievements, and my opinion, ahead of anybody here, especially those who seek to tear me down for no good reason. I was take out of context, and ridiculed for it...how stupid!
I give a good god damn what you think. The only of importance that you said is that you strive to imitate Christ and your mother...well, I strive for the same...at least, on those grounds, we see eye to eye....but that's where it ends.
If I wasn't attacked every damn day, by someone up in here, who can neither spell, nor articulate a concise thought, and can only resort to character assassination...well, you'd soon tire of it yourself. But enough about me.
