On the other hand, someone with hubris could take the attitude "Oh, I am so great, so wonderful, I give millions of dollars to charity every year and help out at the soup kitchen every Tuesday. It's really just because I'm so wonderful!" -- Posted by ello paulie xx at 7:02 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from okumsup at 9:59 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 well do u have to use them or u want to use them?
