I think some of us are crabs and some are lobsters.

Amen, brother!
[quote=âfrauenfelder, post:1, topic:53001â]This is just one of many profound observations Kanye West shared with members of the Oxford Guild Business Society on Monday.[/quote]Surely there is some manner of promotional effort that would be better served by the exorbitant amount of money spent on his speaking fee?
I just hope the human race doesnât want to be like Kanye West.
I think the human race would prefer to be human.
I for one welcomeâŚ
I forwarded this post to my momâs cantankerous sister and she was all like

Onion rings are vegetable donuts!
In America people really do wear $3000 shirts.
I would like to meet some of these suckers nice people, so I can introduce them to my Emperorâs New Clothes 
line of custom-tailored garments. Satisfaction guaranteed!
I doubt the total value of my wardrobe reaches the $3000 mark. My average shirt cost $15.
âLOOK AT THE FUCKING DRAWING RIGHT THERE YEAH!â
Just look at it.
Maybe Iâm reading the tone of this wrong, but whatâs the issue? Are we mocking makers now? The really successful ones or just the poets?
In the crab/ant analogy (cf. Crabs in the Bucket) thatâs pretty crabby. I should stop writing and get back to building like an ant.
âPeople ask me how my daughter is doing. Sheâs only doing good if your daughterâs doing good. Weâre all one family.â
âImagine a world with no war, and imagine if everyoneâs main focus, more so than going out to a club, their main focus was to help someone else.â
âIf youâre too busy pointing fingers at each other, rather than holding hands, you canât get anything done.â
Never mind: clearly dude is a monster!
Kanye needs an editor, sure, but that doesnât make anything heâs saying wrong, just unclear.
Yeah, I think youâre reading the tone wrong. Nobodyâs saying heâs a monster, just that heâs insufferable and trite.
His started off his stream of âprofunditiesâ by asking for total silence because he can hear whispers, he is distracted by them, and yâall really donât want to miss out on his best stuff.
I wonder if somebody whispered, because he basically repackaged banal cliches and passed them off asâŚdeep?
It was an entertaining read, Iâll say that. And those bits made him sound canny, aye. He is entertainingly barmy, though.
George Bush doesnât care about crabs?
I think where Kanye was going with the crab thing is that as long as at least two crabs are in a bucket, you donât have to worry about them escaping as the escaping crab will be dragged down by the others (kind of like rushing a stage at an awards show).
On the other hand, ants live an idyllic existence in an agrarian matriarchy.
⌠so your aunt?
No, you paid an average of $15 for your shirts - what it cost in suffering, corruption and environmental damage is probably impossible to trace in the $15 shirt bracket. What you should be asking is âWhy does this shirt only cost $15?â. Not that $3000 is a resonable price to pay for a shirt but I think youâd be hardpressed to find supply chain transparency and fair wages in the sub-$100 bracket, and probably more like the above $350 bracket.
