Is it just me...

smterr -- boy that was a nice on the stump speech..... for a loser. Who cares what people debate hear and why are you judging them. Heard of the first amendment? And your attempt at writing "brick & mortar and glass & steele phallic symbols that have come to define much of this city's landscape" was preachy and moronic. Nice try, good luck in your 1-bedroom high-floor.

oh and to answer you question - yes it is just you. (for the record "here" not "hear")

Why is it the people who care about X and Y are complete losers with small penises, but the people who care twice as much ABOUT the people who care about X and Y think of themselves as better?

Yes, people will always be materially obsessed. But the folks who obsess over them are even more pathetic...

And what about people who obsess over people who obsess over others being materially obsessed? Are they exponentially even more pathetic than the folks who obsess over others being materially obsessed?

nah, but nice try.
