YES or NO? From humility we grow to the highest accomplishments*

No I am not common. I am unique and there is no one like me anywhere else on the planet.

What jew bleedin' mean, common?

.... we are all the same in that!

I'm Average, no better or worst than the people next door. Mental Outlook---i like to laugh alot...is that okay? did i insult you again!!! :-5

That's probably the vaguest question I've seen here yet. Which is part of what makes it a good topic. Common how? Common in the way I look? Mentally? Smarter than most? Common in what I believe? How I live my life?

"Common person". It sounds like a species: "And here we have the 'common sparrow', seen throughout the U.S., unlike his cousin, the 'fuscia-breasted long-winged sparrow', seen only in New England on the second and fourth Sundays in April."

I am common to people I pass on the street every day. I am totally uniqe to the people who know me.

Hardly!!

It is not common for "young" people to be angry like that? You have some pent up energys...Smile you're on CANdiD CaMErA?

Wouldn't you be angry if certain sorts of people were constantly taking the p155 out of *you*?

What is a p155? An athletic support size? CamEra!

How does a thread like this result in such hostility? It's ridiculous.

It amazes me why the thread was started to begin with!! i mean, what sort of question is "Are you a common person"

Olly, I thought that anger came out in the gAy mArRiaGE thread? Olly i feel you are protective of yourself, i take you seriously-U don't tolerate bull-crap, thats understandable? it isn't uncommon for some to get fired up. Cheerio.

Why not? It has inspired at least 26 replies, so apparently there are people who thought it was a good idea.

Sorry to Paula and Olly...it's another example of the nuances lost in communicating on the web! :yh_peace

Hey Babycakes ~ ya know I love u!

Awww, shucks... :yh_blush



I was misreading the hostility anyway, but it's nice to see you around again, Cassie! I thought you'd ditched me! :yh_rotfl

Actually i thought you to be a nuance from the start? It is "common" for me to express my self....

i like to think i'm uncommon. i think a great many people in one way or another like to believe they are uncommon. we're all pretty much the same in being bipedal, mostly hairless, opposably-thumbed, mammals. we all have beating hearts that carry red blood, we all breathe, eat, sleep, etc.



i tell myself i'm uncommon because i'm half-greek, left-handed, have a very high IQ (which means i excel at responding to someone else's idea of what intelligence might be), i have a big nose, a funny last name (see 'half greek' above!) can type about 80 words per minute, know a little japanese and latin, worked in the film industry briefly, have a credit on a laserdisc, am an expert at running UNIX internet servers, and for reasons i don't understand, most people who meet me like me right off the bat.



then, i'll think about someone like Burt Rutan who recently put the first man into outer space without government funding, and i realize i'm nobody at all!

I'm a common guy.

How about this: I'm a common guy in an uncommon world.

Common as Muck

It is common to be uncommon so what do I choose?

I am in a common predicament along with my fellow humans. Probably common predicament among the alien folk as well, I imagine: Trying to make sense of what is common and uncommon.

Ah.. but where there's muck there's brass.

(Good old northern saying)

Is that the Queen's English or the English from Queen's?

Olly wrote: Oh very drole, aren't you just the most mature individual on this forum. :-5


Isn't drole spelt droll? One of the common traits of the common person is that they make spelling mistakes. (chuckle, chuckle)

Olly wrote: Oh believe me, I can get much more angry if you want...

But I'm not going to, don't worry.


Why bother getting angry?

Some people live in a class structured society, still.

IRTA a joke. Olly is sparring with Paula.

Of course - the class-structured society seems to becoming less defined in the UK, but more defined in the 'States. What about in Canada?

They're trying to impose the moneyed class structure but they don't want to tell anybody about it because, if they did, then they'd be trashed.
