Don't Argue With Crazy People

When I was growing up, my mother always used to tell me, "Sweetheart, don't argue with stupid people.  It is a waste of time and energy."

Momma was right!  Now that I'm older and have experienced a little more, I'd like to put a twist on my mom's philosophy and state that one should not engage in an argument with crazy people, either.  

I have a friend who's a card carrying accidental racist.  The only reason I'm going to give her a pass is because she has been completely brainwashed by her political party.  It is a sad sight to see, too.  Complete and total programming of the human mind.

At any rate, this programming has, in essence, made her insane.  On and on she will rant about political issues, hours if you let her! As I sit there and listen to her spout off, the natural inclination is to respond and correct.  But...why?  All it's going to do is send that mind spiraling even further down the rabbit hole, thus making her crazier.  Truly, it is a useless endeavor.  Plus, my points are not going to be heard anyway.  That delusional little mind is too busy thinking up the next round of 'talking points' to fire off at me.

So I just let her go until she tires, and when she asks me if I understand I say with a smile, "Oh I understand, I just don't agree."  I literally see smoke come from her ears.  It is awesome.   

Politics

There was a point in time when I was very passionate about politics.  I would allow myself to get all riled up and uptight about the goings-ons in the world.

Not anymore.

If you haven't figured it out already, both world and national politics are farkakte, and we are all essentially fucked.  


We are fucked because the world leaders are basically a bunch of adult-sized teenagers, hell-bent on having their own way.  Cooperation and negotiation might as well be four-letter-words.  Not only are our leaders immature, they are also insane.  This is not a winning combination.  Much like the religious freaks who bitch about what kind of exercise you participate in and what kind of clothes you wear, our political leaders don't even deserve a bird classification.  If we all had good sense, we would fire every last one of them and bring in some fresh blood.  And just to be clear, I want everyone from EVERY party fired.  They have all lost their minds.

I admire the people who have participated and continue to participate in movements like 'Occupy Wall Street.'  While other people call them "radical" and "hippies," I call them change-makers.  All change that has taken place in this world was brought about by people like them.  Go team, go, and don't let anyone deter you.

China Is Poised For Takeover

Yes.  China IS poised for takeover.  And why is this?  It's because the majority of our citizens are dumb-as-fuck.  You can tell the majority of our citizens are dumb as fuck by the screening exams you have to take when applying for a job.  As you sit there answering the questions, you think to yourself, "Surely, nobody is this stupid."  Oh, but they are.

Believe it or not, even with the abundance of available, unemployed people, there is not an abundance of available, unemployed smart people.  And for the record, a college degree does not automatically make one smart.  It just means you followed directions well enough to be awarded this shoddy little piece of paper.  This expensive, shoddy little piece of paper.  Smart comes from within.  Education perfects it.

I used to teach, so trust me, I know what's out there.  Hell, even McDonald's is having a hard time staffing people, cause you're so dumb you might undercook the patties and kill somebody.

We need to watch this and take it very seriously, because while we're all over here passing kids through and letting them drop out en masse, China is busy cracking the whip on their kids and a-massing their armies.  Personally, I'm gonna brush up on my Mandarin, and when they finally show up, I'm going to offer myself to them.
