So your position is you can’t criticize anyone for anything unless you’re morally superior to them? So you saying I’m wrong right now means you think you’re morally superior to me? You see how that’s a never ending cycle?
1. I already said maybe
2. I haven’t noticed it
The part of your own definition that you’re missing is “justified by having higher moral values”
My position isn’t justified at all by my moral values. Me saying Georgia fans are wrong is not a statement on how good/bad their character is.
You would also have to assume that I think I'm morally perfect in order for your argument to work which I do not.

Moral superiority is the belief or attitude that one's position and actions are justified by having higher moral values than others.

Yet you have not started a thread calling out Auburn fans. maybe you haven't noticed it because you choose to ignore it? A couple of posters from different fan bases have pointed it out, though, so maybe you should start a specific thread calling out Auburn posters?

Isn't it, though? By the very thread you are saying we are wrong for feeling morally superior. Or are you saying it is okay to feel morally superior?
We can chase the rabbit all day long if you would like. I am retired and don't have a whole lot to do today since it is raining.

By the way. that wasn't "my" definition. It's in the dictionary.

I mean there are Auburn fans that thought UGA wearing black jerseys and dancing to Soulja Boy was disrespectful.
Your opinions of other fans are different than how they view themselves, and vice versa. Everyone is somewhat blind to the failures of their people and overly sensitive to the failures of people not on their “team.”
ETA: I do think the culture in the two towns and student bodies are pretty different. The whole thing about Auburn and Georgia being similar groups is/was overstated, at least in the past 20 years. Auburn and Georgia largely appeal to different kinds of kids in terms of what college environment they are looking for.

Well, the Southern Baptists own more brick buildings in Georgia than any other state in the union.

Dude, what does that even mean? "Morally superior" is a ridiculous thing to worry yourself about.
Have you not ever been to the state of Georgia or watched "Deliverance"?
The last holier than thou program I encountered in 2011 was Penn State. How's that work out?

The hit? You can't even describe what happened properly.Not necessarily the multiple cheap shots as opposed to the cult like hero status
he achieved with the Auburn fan base AND administration (named honorary captain against UGA)
This cannot be emphasized enough.

In fairness the reason they do stuff like that (other people, fans etc) is to get a rise out of their perceived enemy. When you get upset over that you give them the victory. When you don't let it bother you, you take that power away from them.
I just find it odd that Auburn fans feel morally superior because they say they don't feel morally superior.

Nah,I get trolls on a message board but decision makers at the school and athletic dept? That's a whole different level.BTW,even Aubies that I worked with and are friends with feel the same and it wasn't to get a "rise" out of me.

Not all Auburn fans supported the Nick Fairley thug actions vs Aaron Murray, but their silence was deafening. But if we did the same to Bo Nix in Sat, they’d be screaming bloody murder. I think he’ll get abused but within the rules and, unlike Fairley’s actions, won’t be flagrant and dirty.
Fairley’s actions and Auburn support of it have given UGA teams and fans a certain hatred for Auburn. It has fueled a motivation to not only beat Auburn, but pound them into the ground. I hope we embarrass them again on Saturday, and I always pull for whoever they play whether they’re SEC teams or not. And I’m not alone as a UGA fan or a fan of any other program. Everyone hates Auburn because they’re a dirty program.

I'll tell you what the majority of Georgia fans believe:
-they are thankful their team has a winning season every year
-we have professional sports teams to worry about during the week
-we live in a state with a top ten metropolitan area that is one of the most prosperous in the country
-what nice restaurant am I eating at tomorrow night
Thats about it, but keep doing you.

You are entitled to feel the way you want...but this statement is no more true than when Auburn fans say "Everybody hates thUGA because they are dirty!" Some do and some don't hate us.
Some of the nicest fans on this board are Auburn fans. Some Auburn fans are nothing but cheap trolls on this board. Same can be said about our fans on this board. Some are great, and some are trolls.

It doesn’t really matter this year. We are rebuilding and you guys have the best team in UGA history. However, we are still trying to ruin your season, of course.

Georgia is morally superior to Auburn in every way.

I probably don’t notice because of biases. Which is why i didn’t say no to your first question and said maybe instead. I can’t point things out I don’t notice.

No it does not. You’re wildly misunderstanding the definition.
quote:
I mean being morally superior to someone is actually a good thing, is it not? Don't you feel like you are morally superior to Hitler, for instance? Should we not all try to be morally superior?
Actually being morally superior is a good thing yes. Thinking you’re morally superior to someone that your not? No not a good thing.
Using your own example, Hitler thought his race was morally superior to Jews which is what he used to justify the genocide. Would you say that’s wrong?

I only said it that way as in that’s the definition you pulled. You could pull many different definitions from different dictionaries. I wasn’t questioning the definition.

I actually do believe this, although I tend towards the wait and see. Just the look of the team and the way they play is different. I want to see us against some good teams like Auburn, Florida and Alabama, though.
Football is odd. You don't fully appreciate the season until it is over. (For me, anyway) There is always a fear that it will all fall apart at some point.

Well, of course. I think Harsin is doing well, so far. Auburn is playing with some focus and enthusiasm. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain that in the long term.

Just my opinion, but all the schools skirt the rules. All the schools have players that get into trouble. I'm not entirely certain there is a moral high ground.
