...which very roughly translates to "who can piss the highest."

It's when someone thinks he or she is so much better than almost everybody else. This phenomenon occurs worldwide, not just in the Philippines. The pisser believes his or her beliefs are not just better than everybody else's, but that they are the only ones that are right. And woe betide anybody else who even attempts to assert otherwise. Self-serving beliefs of superiority that may fool some people, but which in my opinion just makes them look stupid. Somehow I think they know that, they just refuse to acknowledge it.

You could say I was pissed. [Hahaaa...]

"My beliefs and my practices are truer than yours. Therefore, my way is right and yours isn't. Therefore, I can piss farther and higher than you can."

Jeezus, Joseph and Mary. It just gets my goat whenever I come across this type of people - and sometimes that includes myself. I admit, I can be a condescending bitch at times. I just hope it doesn't happen often; but I know I can count on my dearly beloved friends to put me in my place if I ever exceed the boundaries.

What brought this on? Something I read recently, some jackass who believes himself to be so much more superior than others, who thinks his way is the right way and that others are fools for wanting help or information on doing a certain something the more conventional way. Pontificating and pooh-pooh-ing other people's methods of doing things. Pissing on other people, figuratively speaking.

But enough of that. How are you doing, my dear blog friends? I know I've missed a lot. I hope I can ketchup! :-D
