| This is one of the stupider threads I've seen in quite some time. Considering the way things have been going around here, that's quite an accomplishment. Some of you should be very proud of yourselves. |

Am I elitist?
If it's elitist to appreciate and champion productivity, integrity, professionalism, worth and value, then damn straight I'm elitist.
If it's elitist to expect the most out of people, to not suffer bull lightly, to promote and support quality worksmanship, to enjoy getting things done and to laud the people who can do things cleanly and perfectly with no problems, then I wish we had more of them around.
You want to call someone elitist like it's a derogatory insult, but truth be known being an elitist is a good thing. It means you request the best in yourself and the best in others. That you don't accept a shoddy effort, sloven inefficiency, or drab incompetence. That you fight the movement to water down your fun, and that you refuse to accept an existence that bores the living out of you.
The elitists of this world are the tent poles of progress, propping up achievement and pushing the arts, sciences, culture, music, and the human condition to forever best itself in all avenues of creativity. Without elitists, the tent falls, flattened into the ground of ridiculously tepid, safe, boring mediocrity. It's the elitists who express early desires for higher standards in every capacity of life. It's the elitists who put every interesting genre of music you've ever heard on the map, who've established every untouchable sports record, who write books that continue to sell long after the author is dead, who've put men on the moon, cars on the roads, and your computer in front of you. Without elitists, everything that's wrong and inane with life will run unchecked. Without elitists, we, as an interesting species, are truly ed.
Call me an elitist all you want, but if that's the case, let me honestly ask you: What's so wrong with being elitist? |

nah... still not convinced.
Looks like some festival or other (gatecrasher global gathering)???
Sure he's got the Jesus pose but although thats perhaps another thing that Oakenfold can claim to be a pioneer of (well, after Jesus himself :stongue: ). i'm still of the opinion that its Tall Paul.
Can anyone confirm/deny this..... |

| I would imagine that is a Gatecrasher event as it says "Gatecrasher" with accompanying logo right on the slipmat. I am also pretty positive that I saw that picture a long time ago in an article about Oakie. Unless he just happened to take a very similiar picture with similiar lighting and dress/pose/etc. |
