   Gosh, you're special and nobody else is, because you base your arguments on   
   things which don't exist (non-existent concepts which you can't describe) -   
   is that what you want to here?  OK...but, um, you still have yet to say   
   anything other than "everyone but you is full of it."  While that's a fine   
   position to take, it doesn't get you very far.  Forgive me for doubting you,   
   but you aren't coming across as the rare and fortunate person you profess to   
   be.

   Yes, I'm afraid I am using concepts found in the English language.   
   Unfortunately, so are you.  And worse then empty, your arguments are   
   non-existent, as you have yet to make any.  Simply stating that everyone but   
   the "free-minded genius that is you" is idiotic and closed minded comes   
   across as pretty silly.

   Yes, I always love the "You aren't thinking for youself if you don't buy my   
   B.S." line of reasoning.  Please continue to feel free to pass sweeping   
   judgements on me based on a post or two, but in my "closed minded humanistic   
   reality," free thinking does not equal to sucking up to some dude's strange   
   pronouncements, no matter how highly he thinks of his own intellect or how   
   lowly he finds everyone elses.  But truly, it would be hard to lend support   
   for your position, as you haven't made one.  You seem to enjoy to bashing   
   the non-specific  "prevailing system" but yet again, you give no thoughts as   
   to what you would see it replaced by, or how it would go about being   
   replaced, or how this would change things.   
      
   But let me guess - the "answer" you know so clearly is too complicated to be   
   explained in the poorly crafted concepts that exist in the English language,   
   right?  And besides, comprehension is beyond me, right.
