The question about everyone being racist got me thinking...

Who is it you think you are better than? People of a different race? People of a different religion? People of a different social strata?

Who do you automatically assume superiority over?

Honestly, I think I am better than people who are willfully ignorant... that is, people who, when presented with facts, choose to ignore them if they don't fit in with whatever little world picture they have going for themselves. As an example, I had a neighbor who thought that anyone who was of Muslim descent (and for him that was anyone with vaguely brownish skin) in any way was probably a terrorist, and that we should just send them all to the middle east and then bomb them into oblivion. I kid you not... this was his firm belief. He was exceedingly rude to the very nice folks who ran the convenience store on the corner because of this belief, never mind the fact that they were NOT Muslim, they were, in fact, from India (with a Hindu heritage) and were practicing Christians. Telling him that this was the case was useless, and would only launch him back into some incoherent and, frankly, downright stupid rant. Yes, I think I am better than him.

And you?

I'm so incredibly awesome I just always assumed I was better than everyone. sorry.

Goth kids, 'happy bunny' kids (you know the type, obsessed with energy drinks, shops at hot topic, its like Goth lite, though actually very different), severe rednecks (the willfully ignorant type), ghetto kids who happen to be white, people who aren't open to other viewpoints, and people who are obsessed with there hobby/whatever to an extreme level (particularly soccer, no offense to those who play, but the vast majority are fucking annoying. There are always exceptions of course).

So mostly just people of a different social strata. I do not think I am better than the average nerdy kid, nor anyone else 'below' me in the social pyramid. Other than those I stated of course. They all have unbearable traits.

But I've always said that cliques were societies of removing people of conflicting interests from contact with each other.

Cliques are a virtue.

I'm better than you, obviously.

I am smarter than George W. Bush, more chaste than Bill Clinton, funnier than Al Gore, saner than Ron Paul, better looking than Fred Thompson, more pleasant than John McCain, much taller than Dennis Kucinich and better hung than Hillary Clinton.

Those who participate in the greek system (fraternities and sororities...not, like, the country, or anything...Greek are, uh, very nice people? I guess? *shrug*)...granted, there are a lot of cool people who are in fraternities and sororities, but due to the way in which they tend to foster elitist and snobbish attitudes, intentionally or not, I find they also contain a higher percentage of absolute twits.

Oh, and this one dude I met in my friend's hometown who, honest to god, was convinced China and Japan were going to team up and make "a yellow bridge" to invade America. I'm not sure if this bridge was a metaphorical bridge or he truly thought two countries that despise each other were going to make a bridge out of people. *sigh* But, yea, him and people like him...I'd say I'm pretty god damned superior to.

You know that guy that likes to cut across three lanes of traffic without using a turn signal ten feet before an intersection to make his turn? I'm better than him.
God, I hate the drivers in my town.

You'll probably live longer, too.

...

Damn.

;)

I am superior to the willfully stupid. Those who cultivate stupidity as their primary personality trait.

Yes, but Hillary got her penis elected President.

Twice.:D

I am sufficiently confident in my personal standing in the world to not need to worry about who I am better than. Doing so would merely be an exercise roughly akin to masturbation.

Let's just face it, I'm better than everyone.

I'm better than the people who think they're better than people of another race, ethnicity, or religion. I'm also better than a woman because I'm a man.

Make me dinner and get down on your knees, lol.

Let's just face it, I'm better than everyone.

Well, of course, Ruffy, I ASSUMED that. :D

Let's just face it, I'm better than everyone.

Yes, and if you keep trying, one day you may be as good as I.

I am clearly superior to all who ask me who I am better than.

Creationists, conspiracy nuts, anti-intellectuals, the irrational and the incompetent.

I'm clearly better than 'official truth'ers, intellectuals, rationals and the competent who think they're somehow better than the other half.

and people who are obsessed with there hobby/whatever to an extreme level (particularly soccer, no offense to those who play, but the vast majority are fucking annoying. There are always exceptions of course).

Hey, screw you. Football's a religion.

You'll have to let her off her chain first, or she might choke. ;)

Be fair; He was America's Penis. :p

I'm better than most of the crazy people and I'm better than most of the so-called sane people because I have merged sane and crazy into a homogeneous state of being that is one step short of divine. I'm also better than Garry Shandling, but I think that goes withot saying. :)

I am smarter than George W. Bush, more chaste than Bill Clinton, funnier than Al Gore, saner than Ron Paul, better looking than Fred Thompson, more pleasant than John McCain, much taller than Dennis Kucinich and better hung than Hillary Clinton.

...and you're apparently a better and more succinct poster than most (if not just 'bout all) of the the other posters (due evidence) on this thread.
:D

Weirdly enough, there's an extremely strong argument that can be made to back you up.

They've given you a number, and taken away your name!
*croons like Bruce Willis*

I'm far too great to participate in an exercise such as this.

:p

I have a long list but before I post it I need to know, if I can't grow a beard does that make bearded people better than me?

Better in what way? Better 'in general' is a pointless statement to make.

Erm. Hmm...

Well obviously, as an Englishman, I'm better than the perfidious French and Germans (HUZZAH!), as someone who's capable of speaking more than 3 words of French, I'm a better linguist than most Britons (erm... huzzah?) and I used to be quite good at cricket (huzz... nah... never mind).

Better in what way? Better 'in general' is a pointless statement to make.

However YOU define it. Are you smarter? Better in bed? Stronger? Faster? Faster in bed??

Are you intrinsically a more worthwhile person than someone else for any reason? If so, who and what is the reason?

I'm better than all of you mortals! For I am Weasel and Weasel is better than any one of you rank and file rabble-rousers. Now repeat after me: the Weasel is good, the Weasel is great, we surrender our cheese as of this date. ;)

I'm better than all the people in my school who think they are better than me!

I don't think I am better than anyone. I know I am better than everyone.

(yeah, late to say it, don't care, still true.)

I'm better the anyone who thinks they're better then me.

I believe I'm better than racists,sexists,homophobes and rabid religious fundamentalists. I believe I'm better than social darwinists and fans of Ayn Rand. Face it,I'm a moral snob.

It matters not whether I have some skills others don't and they have some I don't, there is no such thing as 'intrinsically more worthwhile'.

I'm better the anyone who thinks they're better then me.
I'm clearly better than anyone who thinks they're better than anybody else.

:D

Who are you better than? The other guy.

I'm not better than anyone. :(

I'm not better than anyone. :(

Awww... but you are just as good as everyone, JuNii!

I'm better than each and every steelers fan on the planet. Regardless of what else they might have done, if they root for the steelers, they are an inferior life form to me.

I'm better than the person I was a year ago, and that's all that matters to me.

I dunno,... does it really matter?

I'm better than the person I was a year ago, and that's all that matters to me.

This is the best answer I've seen in this thread :)

i am better than my self yesterday.

Agreed. :)

Awww... but you are just as good as everyone, JuNii!

... that's true. and frankly... I'd rather than than being better.

I'm better than people who think they're better than other people



.............................wait

I am better than those who are worse than me.

i am better than my self yesterday.

I hope I am too.

Rednecks, fundies, uneducated Americans who are racist, and people ignorant/unfortunate enough to believe in creationism.

Are you not better than undeducated Somalians?



I just ask, because you specifically targed the uneducated population within America.

If Somalians were given the opportunity of free education, then yes. ;)

Fuck knows. With all due modesty, I'm probably better educated and a bit smarter than most, and when company calls for it I can be charming, but whether that renders me a "better" human being is doubtful.

If Somalians were given the opportunity of free education, then yes. ;)


Oh, so Somalian's education isn't good enough for you now?


lol, jk. I have received your point, and taken it to heart. :)

I'm better than each and every steelers fan on the planet. Regardless of what else they might have done, if they root for the steelers, they are an inferior life form to me.You're silly. Clearly the Steelers are better than other teams in the sport, and thus their fans are better than fans of those other teams. ;)

On a similar note, New York Yankee fans are the lowest life forms on earth, so I'd guess I'm better than them.

We are not. The lowest life form on earth is people who think that Republican (ok, ok ANY, not JUST Republican) pedophiles should be forgiven just because they go into rehab.

I'm better then me.:D:cool:
