Watching sports, watching TV and getting drunk are *not* hobbies- they're cop-outs. So yes, my hobbies are more interesting than theirs, by any standard with which you wish to measure them.

Not sure about this. People who have been in a car crash, been in a gun battle, had a close relative die of some disease etc etc can change (and usually do) radically. Saying that, I haven't really known anyone really really well (apart from family) for more than 25 years.

The intent was to mock your view of yourself as so much better than the people around you. Nice deflection though.

Well of course I'm better than the people general public around me. I made the decision to buy a Mac, for starters. Unless you can somehow argue that someone who makes a conscious choice to buy a Mac is equal to someone who just goes with the flow and buys "whatever they have at the office" or "whatever the salesman said was best", of course.

Do I think my choices are the best choices? Yes. Otherwise I wouldn't have made them, would I? Does that mean I think that other choices are lesser than mine? Yes, else I'd have made those instead, wouldn't I?

Do you think your religion is better than the other religions? No? So why did you choose that one then? Or was it chosen for you by your mom?

I was gonna comment on Doofy's superiority complex, but seeing he's banned I won't bother. I can't say I'll miss him.
