"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

Maybe calling someone a dipshit is a little bit unkind, but by the social norms of message boards, it doesn't really stand out enough to justify calling someone out for it. And besides, one needn't embody a quality in order to believe in it as an ideal.

"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."
"I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

yikes. I'm a little concerned that you took that post straight.
I do think that man has a fundamental need to acknowledge and revere something greater than himself.

I took it straight as I have heard that sentiment on several occasions.
