Where is everyone at..

[Greatness]

I think Collin's like Sheldon of Big Bang Theory, in the sense that he struggles to show emotion or sense it and is obnoxious

obnoxious is a bit strong, isnt it?

[bomb]

Alright, I'm willing to accept that.

But I hope Colin doesn't expect for people to live on his 'wavelength' wherever he goes. The onus is on him to learn what's socially acceptable to say and what's not.

The same way Usain Bolt wouldn't go up to paraplegics and tell them how superior he is at running, expecting them to understand where he is coming from.

[Pixon]

No;

Back to Colin - from the piece itself, that was blatantly arrogant - from our perspective.
But a knowingly arrogant person would be a lot more subtle about it, because they would know that people look down on arrogance (rightfully too!). To me this piece is way too frank and blatant to stem from Colin's apparent arrogance. I'll say this though; he is somewhat unaware of these...pragmatics so he would call a mentally ill person a 'retard' and so on - euphemism is not in his vocabulary

Agreed.

Whilst Thushan and EZ would have this issue to a lesser extent, being around Colin all the time can make you feel pretty small a lot of the time. However, you learn to understand him and how he thinks and you just live with it and know he isn't intentionally trying to offend you; he actually has a really good heart.
I've seen on many occassions when he's "bullied" a kid, trash talking and such, but once we point it out to him, he immediately seeks out to apologise.

i like people who are straightfoward and frank. they're just being honest.. i hate people who think over the top -___-

[thushan]

Yeah, I did! How do you know?

Haha I knew a thushan back in junior campus who was moving to Scotch College...now, who am I?

It's real =/ Colin has said stuff like this to me in the past.

He still needs to get laid.


I can guarantee that there are people out there that are better than him at certain things, he should show some humility.

Also, if he is so smart, any offensive statements he has made were most likely intentional..

Yeah, I'm the same person...I have no idea who you are. Sabia? Jack?

Hey everyone. I can see why people might think my post was obnoxious or arrogant or whatever (namely, because it is), but its content is basically all legitimate. The reason why it even exists is that I get annoyed at various comments that people make about me, so I'd say it's somewhat justified.
That said, I don't like being seen as pretentious or ostentatious, and I'm basically just relaxed and hilarious in person. Please don't judge me  
edit: also, you guys should give me a hug next time you see me

Hold on, are you saying that I am also arrogant?
Or that I experience being around Colin?

LOL damn the English Language for its ambiguity...

[tarek]

As bomb said he needs to get laid, whether it's a ten dollar me love you long time sucky sucky or just a good old browse on the net

[ariawuu]

@ Colin ... awwww (L)

No I'm saying that you're awesome to the extent of not feeling as inferior to him as I do.

I was going to say before, I think I can safely say that no one on AN thinks you're a bad person.

Yeah I guess I can tolerate that, lol. Just a tip, it's taken some explaning for me to get your point of view. In real life, if you say that to someone who gave it their all and fell short of the 75 they needed for their course, you better hope you're as good at boxing as you are at maths.

And thushan heres a clue:
I'm a right-handed outswinging(to the right hander) opening bowler who ripped your stumps out of the ground in an under 14s game. I can still hear the noise of it haha.
