If, on the opposite end, a woman would have made a similar speech, i would have left 1/4th of the way into it..i have no respect for ..nor will associate with these kinds of people..regardless of the relationship..
Id leave this arrogant ** to himself.. I know someone with a similar frame of mind and it is difficult not to unleash a fury upon their train of thought..It is at that moment that i realize that they will get what they are calling onto themselves..i don't have to do a thing..except respect the people who have helped me build upon the dreams i are out to reach..and share with the world around me..what i have accomplished..respectfully of course..
By showing respect to others it dignifies ones self. While you can do much yourself no man is an island. while he may wish to espouse his merits It took others to put him where he was... The first person that hired him and gave him a chance, the person that mentored him, the person that trained him, or take it back a little further his parents for giving him life... I'd like to see him accomplish that one alone. Respect isn't his issue humility, compassion, gratitude and arrogance are.
Just because your parents may give you life, it doesn't mean they've done much positive for it.

That is true, however If they did nothing else they gave you the start. what you do with it is up to you. Often those that made the genetic contribution didn't make the parent either. The point isn't about the merits of a parent but the lack of regard one person has for everyone.
That's right! no one made it big in any way completely by themselves, alone...someone has to give you the opportunity to work, customers have to give you business, people have to watch your program, listen to your songs, ....whatever the case..we're not islands. Of course you can take credit for all your hard work and be proud of it but that's different than saying I take sole credit for my success.
Urbanblasphemy, you sound older (that's a compliment)
Thanks... I think. I'd rather remain a toys-r-us kid for as long as possible.
It sounds like to me you went out with a moron. There are many people (most even) who're independent, yet they don't go around advertising it to everyone. He sounds like the typical narcissistic a-hole who can suck his own @!#$ enough. You know, people who're proud of themselves even though they've really done nothing special at all.
You should have told him you don't have any respect for anyone who doesn't respect others.
I am also somewhat self made and independent (by grace of the almighty), but don't agree with not respecting others, and not wanting to give anything to others. I've found surprising results from charitable deeds. Guy sounds like a narcissist, good to stay away.
