The funny thing is that you didn't know where I was coming from =PDon't mistake me for not knowing where you're coming from, I know
What I was trying to prove wasn't that no one is special. That's just silly.
What I was trying to prove was that many of us think we are special even though it clearly couldn't be true. Not meant to be offensive; let's use myself as an example. I used to think I was special throughout high school (and sometimes even today, when I am watching certain films). There's a 'feeling' you get. A biochemical reaction in your brain that tells you: I am special. I must be!
'Some' of these people do become luminaries. But most of them? Just look at the poll results. Evolution has played a sick game on us, that's all I'm trying to say =P

... no. Its just you, and people who think that way are a one single, gray mass. Anyone can be special, if they want to.Kangol said:We are all special, especially if we need to make threads to question why others believe so.
Nobody is special.
