How true is this?

I think it's very true indeed, especially if you are sincere.
People seem to think you're kidding, putting them on, not for real.

And i'm fucking sick to death of it.

When I was interviewed for my job at UCL they asked me what I was passionate about, and I started rattling off a list of things. They obviously thought this was a plus point.

Wouldn't it be strange if people in Britain were actually passionate about, say, football - the way those continentals are?

Why, is he passionate or a nutcase?

it's ok if you're passionate about curry and kebab.

and gangstas, it's ok to be a man of passion regarding gangstas

You can remove the "passionate about" from the sentance, and I think that's pretty much how the rest of the world feels... ;-)

who are 'they'?

i can be quite passionate about stuff but i'm such a dilettant that perhaps this is diluted somewhat.

And who are "you"?

― Dadrockismus (Dada), Friday, 24 September 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'M THE FUCK YOU MAN

― teh pow! (blueski), Friday, 24 September 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

who's you man? is he related to he-man?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 24 September 2004 10:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I should have phrased that question - And who is you?
