He seems to have gotten the notion that being unpopular is a virtue. Which strikes me as trying very hard to justify poor people skills or being stuck in Middle/High School.
I dunno. I mean, I'm in high school, and I rather like my cool cred.
Rachel: No, Darlin. Unpopularity is no more desirable to Daddy Non-Cool than is popularity. Only the insecure are concerned about 'status'. But it's a great little site you guys have got here. I can see it's rather addictive (and a potentially huge time waster) - but absolutely hilarious!
All I can say is that if I have offended your sensibilities at some point Babe, you probably got the wrong end of the sense of humour stick. Aussie humor doesnt always translate across the pond too well.
Btw, strewth - are you always this quick to take offence in the real word?
You guys are such gossips though! I mean does anyhone really care what the heck my best quality is or isnt? I thought we were here to make claims about abstract ideas and interesting stuff. No?
jesus and coolness are not interesting. at least not the sycophantic way you drone on about them.
No disrespect Bruv, but if a thread bores why do you not you go some place else?
Back to JR's claim:
For posterity..., Daddy Uncool was NOT claiming that being cool is evil. After all, actually BEING cool - i.e. having the status of cool assigned to you by others - is not something one can control.
What Daddynon-cool DID claim, however was that the OBSESSION that so many people from the playground upwards seems to have with 'cool' status - THAT is evil.
In his own case, Daddy non-cool is simply neutral to his status in the cool department.
The peer-group status of a great philosopher makes no difference to him either way - his self-esteme comes from the veracity of his arguments and the ethics of his behaviour. Concern about the tittle-tattle of the playground is mere insecurity. So... why worry?
With love

Do I look like a female anomalcaris to you?
Males have 13 tondrils. you have 12. therefore you are female. questions?
I think you have it the other way around.
