Boy it's easy to throw that label out when everything you've believed in has been shown to be dead wrong isn't it. If what I'm exhibiting is arrogance then just how is someone supposed to act when they've nailed every prediction of every event exactly and profited off of it during a time when most others are floundering.
You throw that term out there like I'm going to exhibit shame to the "community" here when, to tell you the truth, other than a few people that pretty much agree with my own ideology, I could give a fuck what you guys think about my style.
But let's look at this one other way. If I'm truly arrogant on here and you're just as steadfast and unyielding in your views and tend to gloat about them as much as I do, you certainly wear that label as well.
So let's just assume we're tied in the amount of arrogance we show. But now let's take this out to someone viewing from the outside. You have two people equally arrogant but one has pretty much been right on predicting outcomes, calling out lies, rating the effectiveness and honesty of the major political players and the other has been pretty much wrong 90% or more of the time. Somehow I can live with the first option even if I have to wear the label. If it were reversed however, that would be really tough to look at myself in the mirror each day and feel I've lived up to my humanity.
So continue to call me names like that because to me it's a badge of honor coming from you. It's all you have left. If I'm arrogant it's because I feel I've earned that right. Where you get yours is beyond me.
