THE EIFFEL TOWER! THE STATUE OF LIBERTY!

I admit it. Sometimes I just can't help myself. This is what I said last night:

"Have you ever heard of Prince? Yes, Prince the musician. Ok, great. Well have you ever been to Paris? And what did you have to see there? Yes, the Eiffel Tower. Have you ever been to New York...probably you saw the Statue of Liberty the first time you were there. Have you ever been to a concert? PRINCE IS THE EIFFEL TOWER, THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WHEN IT COMES TO LIVE PERFORMERS!"

If someone starts to disagree, I interrupt them. And not with a question. Why ask when you know? And I interrupt them in such an arrogant manner as if I'm stating a fact. As if I know. But I always know. Maybe its my sincerity, or cockiness, or passion of how I deliver my interruption sentence that follows but it seemingly always convinces everyone in the conversation that Prince puts on the greatest concert. "How can you dispute what I said when you have never seen Prince live?" The silence that always follows confirms my affirmation.

I'll even catch myself saying aloud, "Sometimes I think God put me on this earth to educate people about Prince and his musical genius." Crazy, right? Stoopid crazy! But I won't say that until I've already oowed and awed people with my knowledge and passion about Prince. First thing's first. I want to know. Tell me.

How do you crazy Prince life-changing mofos promote your uncontrollable passion for Prince's music, showmanship, etc.?

Whatever it is, it´s got to be PHUNKy!!!

Honestly, based on how you describe the above scenario, I would agree to anything you were arguing if it would make you stop.

"Justin Beiber is the best performer in the world!"

"I don't think-"

"He is! Absolutely! He's the best! You know I'm right"

"I really don't think-"

"How can you dispute what I said when you have never seen Justin Beiber live?"

*silence*

"Fine. You're right. I'm convinced. Can we talk about something else now?"

Thus, you've "won" the argument.

I love Prince, and I'll share my music with anyone that's interested and if that leads them to buying his CDs, awesome - if it doesn't no worries. How many people love Prince has no impact on me.

However, if you feel compelled to do so, you might want to contact your local Kingdom Hall.

You sound perfect for their line of work wink

It's gotten to the point where I'm extremely selfish when it comes to Prince, he literally is my 'Private Joy' giggle

I'm over getting people to drop their ignorance and listen to Prince because they usually don't even listen properly and/or don't appreciate great music in general.

They can keep listening to their Katy Perry and Justin Bieber for all I care nod

:-/

I really didn't intend for it to be that brutal, though in hindsight I guess it was (sorry Phunk! rose)

I just wanted to point out that the tactic was perhaps not as successful as it might seem.

Chiquetet where did you learned to argue yopur points? Was that your elementary school debate team or being named Fraternity Vice-President? You compared Justin Bieber to Prince? Why not compare Prince to the car you drive? And make your same moronic hypothetical argument.

Listen Chiquetet, people who are educated know that Prince plays a tremendous concert, that he is a musical genius, and have want to see him perform. 7th graders arent allowed in bars so no one brought up Justin Bieber, but whether people brought up Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, etc., after a minute of comparison it was obvious that my statement was aruably accepted.

Chiquetet, what do you know about Jehovah's Witnesses and God? You think you're better than me by telling me to go to Kingdom Halls? Right there tells me you don't respect yourself. It doesn't matter who you are on this site, I am no better or no worse than you. I may be smarter like as in Chiquetet's case, but I would never judge you like you did me, when you are unededucarted about religion or god. Just because you have a inferiority complex of intelligence doesn't give you the right to put down someone.

READ THE QUESTION I ASKED: How do you crazy Prince life-changing mofos promote your uncontrollable passion for Prince's music, showmanship, etc.?

If you could understand my question, then you would know that you shouldn't reply to this thread. Becasue you eventually said "How many people love Prince has no impact on me."

I asked to hear from people who have passion to promote Prince's music. Since that "has no impact on [you], then why would you answer. Don't you realize the question excludes you? I'm sorry if you're not popular, but I want to tell you that making silly, judgemental side comments that don't have anything to do with the question is a good way to not earn friends.

Whatever it is, it´s got to be PHUNKy!!!

Oh great one, yer majesty, Judge Gohi. Who gave you the right to judge my existence on this earth? Especially when you don't understand what self-depracating humor is.

I said "Sometimes I think God put me on this earth to educate people about Prince and his musical genius." Crazy, right? Stoopid crazy!"

Self-deprecating humor relies on the observation of something negative about me delivering the commentary. So in essence, I jokingly making fun of myself or ridiculing myself for all of the times I've given the word on Prince.

Many comedians use self-deprecating humor to avoid seeming arrogant or pompous--or in essence, they do it so they don't sound like you Judge Gohi or you xibalba. At least xibablba had the intelligence to wonder why I would say something like that about myself and admit she was confused but she still couldn't figure out that I was poking fun of me. But your royal heiness Judge Gohi of emotions wasn't intelligent enough to recognize self-depracating humor but then still felt you could judge my existence with a negative emotion. Look Judge Gohi of emoptions this is why you haven't got laid in a year. Because being able to poke fun at yourself and just plain old being goofy is a turn-on to girls that makes them laugh and is the best way to charm women.

Something tells me there are a lot of cobwebs and dust in Judge Gohi of Emotions Private Chambers since no one has been there for quite some time.

yet majesty Juydge Gohi andthe audience identify with them

Well u r pretty full on. However having said that when I have discussed Prince I have found myself saying stuff like he is the best and that is a fact or if we are going to compare music let's take prince put of the equation first because its not fair on the others ha ha!
