Don't you understand that you are all responsible for my emotional well-being?
How can I feel good about myself and the world I'm living in when I am surrounded by so many upsetting people?
Can't you see that my belief system only has any integrity if you all agree with it?
Sometimes I think you people and I simply aren't on the same page at all.
Don't you realise that when you disagree with me it's because you have a deep and unconscious personality flaw that distorts your thinking, a flaw that I can understand and you can't?
You must understand - I excel in standing on a sort of psychologically internal pedestal, from which I can make pithy observations about our conversation as a whole, whereas when you appear to attempt something similar you're just ignoring me.
Don't you realise that if you leave me with no way of contradicting what you've posted then it makes me look bad and consequently feel bad? That's kind of a jerky thing to do, isn't it? You're kind of a jerk.
There's one thing I'd like to draw particular attention to - when I make generalisations I do it properly because of the special vantage point from which I make them, but when you do it, the special vantage point from which you make them means you're in the wrong.

Have a good one!

pinboy3niner
(53,339 posts)Google the phrase and you'll find the shirts available online.

(22,920 posts)I've seen the plain white t's with black font and figured I'd just make one myself via supplies from a craft store.
But I love this take on it -- not quite as crass, though I do appreciate crass!
Thanks!
