It's not "my father is bigger than your father", it's "I know my dick is way smaller than yours, it's important to me to have a big one, but since I don't know how/can't be bothered to make it bigger/have an ego investment in my small one which I therefore claim is big, I'm gonna say mine's as good as yours & see where I get." I'm surprised at the choice of new-Age fatherbabble metaphor - have you been afflicted by the Crawl, or is this appeasement for them ? ("if you don't give influence to the recovery movement postliberal cant we use to disarm our opponents and to hide our whipped-dog conservatism and inferiority complex, we'll get in touch with other losers like us in influential positions and try to harass you out of existence - we'll only keep the corporate legal vampires at {large-company-whose-IP-rights-will-be-used-as-excuse} leashed as long as you agree to become good little George Bush America team players and blow off all that creative individualistic stuff we can't keep up with cause we like being part of a hierarchy and being led. Mother, we're making the world safe for mediocre dorks like us. Oh, 'scuse me, I must get to my Bund meeting.") I'm commenting on the content of the referenced posting, not the author - the above question implying compromised judgment due to pressure from underendowed assholes is in jest, the characterization of the assholes less so. Happy New Year !
