If you can't beat 'em, learn to execute a much stronger, more aggressive fight.

You can't fix, convince or educate a broccolihead, but you can (and WILL) inevitably suffer the consequences of their herd actions and decisions.

Opinions are like "that" spot where the sun never shines: everybody has one. But you have to be smart enough to differentiate between "having" and "being".

The only thing I know for sure is that I know too much to care anymore.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer argued that stupid people are more dangerous than evil ones because while we can defend against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are powerless; objective truth and reasoning fall on deaf ears. 

"Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here. Reasons fall on deaf ears. Facts that contradict a stupid person’s prejudgment simply need not be believed and when they are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person is self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us from the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and is abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil - incapable of seeing that it is evil." 

Hence the reason school curriculum has been so dumbed down. In the name of equity, which is not at all like equality. Arguing it is the mechanism of low expectations is easy. But if it falls on dumb ears in a forest, will it make a dent? School is where it all happens. Take for instance the Frankford School. I urge anyone interested with current day to look into it. You'll find French subversives amongst the clattering of post war nihilism and not a small amount of things I cannot utter here.

No matter which direction you are going at a traffic light, the other direction will have a longer green light.

[Ace-Garageguy]

No matter which direction you are going at a traffic light, the first guy in line will be texting halfway through it, and the next guy, the one immediately in front of you, will be three car lengths behind the first clown, and he'll be texting too...so you might make it through on the third green.

I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me, than a prefrontal lobotomy.
