Thread: CL, you're a smug, self-satisfied piece of shit

A very nice thread in Purg was discussing how people who had changed their opinions on things came to do so. It is both an interesting view into particular people, and a mini study in human motivation and change.
Into this pleasant discussion, CL drops this:

Had not read much of that thread. After seeing this post, I read everything up to the point of CL's comment. Having done so, I find it difficult to disagree with MT. None of those posts seems smug or self satisfied to me. Indeed, quite the opposite.

I've got to say CL chose his sour-puss avatar very well. (I assume -perhaps wrongly- that CL is a "he".)
CL has mostly seemed a grump from the word go. I used to think CL just enjoyed diving into threads where strong opinions were expressed and so, came by the grumpy vibe naturally. But, no, this was just a pleasantly contemplative thread, and it sent a bug right up his ass.

FWIW this looks like CL is one of those who couldn't consider change because it would involve the use of intelligence.
I feel sad for CL. Probably a cradle Catholic, apparently as intelligent as the cradle.

He must be rather miserable soul to read a perfectly nice thread and see only bad motivations of everyone but himself who posted. I'd write it off to a bad mood, but as Lyda*Rose notes, it's pretty much a chronic condition.

Most of his smug is directed towards Episcopalians and sundry liberal Anglicans. But we're used to it, I suppose.

No. Just highly blasphemous. Why - Britney is a goddess.

That's it, the world has clearly gone to Hell when a "singer" is adored for how well she moves. And you're not referring to her lips.

It's hardly a recent thing. Michael Jackson was more renowned for his dancing than his singing, and that was thirty years ago.

According to "The Simpsons", we'll all be doing Riverdance--at least in the fun part of Heaven!

Well, as I remember, the plot went like this:
Homer and the kids converted to the RCC. Marge stayed with whatever Simpsonsverse church they'd been attending. Stuff Happened, and they went to Heaven. Marge was in an uppercrust, Episcopalian-style Heaven, where people wandered around with drink and delicacies, and made polite conversation. She was lonely, and missed her family.
She tracked them down in the RC Heaven, and joined them in Riverdance. Everyone was happy.
![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Personally, I'd want to be able to move among those and other versions of Heaven--nature, libraries, flying throughout the cosmos sans ship, a dark chocolate world...

More accurately, Bart has been transferred to a Catholic school, where a kindly priest (played by Liam Neeson) attracts him to the faith by teaching him about badass martyrs. Even Homer starts to feel the pull, which troubles Marge. The trip to Heaven is a dream sequence: Protestant Heaven is just as described. But then she sees Bart and Homer in Catholic Heaven, having a raucous party with the Irish and Italian Catholics.
She then recruits Ned and Rev. Lovejoy to try and get the two back to the one true faith: The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism.

Saying that, a certain picture of her getting out of a taxi did give a good view of her lips, though I don't recall if they were moving.
