For All The World To Know.

I think this one is fairly fundamental to the world that we live in today:

Beware he who would deny you information...for in his heart, he deems himself your master.

"Never argue with an idiot. They?ll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

That's just an excuse to never argue or defend your standpoint.

Note: I originally posted the quote on my facebook because I found it amusing, and so posted it here in the same venue. However Zeithri my good man, you have succeeded in getting my argument juices flowing, and I would love to continue this debate with you.

I am new to the threads here and don't know if there is a friend system in place or not, but if you would like to engage in similar discussions should you find an inteeresting thread elsewhere, please let me know. I find intelligent discourse stimulating, when it isn't being destroyed by the usual internet trolls and fags >_>

There is.

"For a job like getting rid of the drug dealer next door, I'll take a hardware store over a gun any day. Guns make you stupid. Better to fight your wars with duct tape. Duct tape makes you smart."

That. Is. AWESOME!!!!

I thought that was Calvin and Hobbes XD

No, if you paid attention it was to never argue with an IDIOT. Idiots are stubborn as mules and all the facts in the world won't change their minds. That's why their idiots.

Discussions and arguments can be quite productive and even enjoyable when preformed between intelligent people.

But that can be said about - ANYTHING -
I've had discussions with several people who are intelligent yet stubborn as a mule when it comes to arguments about this and that and I am sure as hell that you can be stubborn as a mule as well if the argument would be about something that you feel strongly about.

Imagine person A is a person who believes in the nazi ideals, person B is an anti-nazi who thinks that everyone who thinks like person A should be shot and a person who is neutral and thinks they're both idiots, person C.

Each of these will stubborningly argument about how they are right.
- How can their discussion and argument be productive at all? -

With that said, arguments are never suppose to be productive. It's all about pointing out why opinion 1 is better than opinion 2. Discussions however, can be productive. With that in mind, the whole quote "Never argue with an idiot" is just an excuse to never argue at all because everyone else are more idiotic than oneself in ones mind.

I have a friend who is Muslim. I think the Muslim religion is the bane of the earth. We argue all the time, and our opinions on this matter never change. We are not idiots however, so when we argue we present facts and points of view to back up our ideology. Though our stances never change we both are constantly learning something new about ourselves and each other through intellectual discussion, and (me more so than him) learn new facts about the issue and why we feel the way we do. I doubt we will ever change our stance on this issue, but this is an example. We argue all the time and when done intelligently with facts even if one of us "wins" the argument the other person learns something new about the issue and doesn't just "lose" the discussion.

Idiots don't use facts, they don't try to convince you or persuade you to their thinking. Frequently it's simply a matter of "you're wrong", "look it up", "I already know I'm right". I actually like debate club (had one at my high school) but the idiots that sometime showed up...fucking hell. DX

I see what you mean, but I say you're gloryfying it too much.
But each to their own. Enjoy many more argumentations with your friend!

Thanks, and I look forward to many future discussions with you as well, if you're not against it. ^_^

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Live, I will kill you. If I Die, You are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.-omertà by lamb of god

Lamb of God did not make up that quote, it is taken from Mario Puzo's novel 'Omerta'

thats where i heared it first so thats how i quoted it

Sometimes... you can cry until there is nothing wet in you. You can scream and curse to where your throat rebels and ruptures. You can pray, all you want, to whatever God you think will listen. And, still, it makes NO difference. It goes on, with no sign as to when it might release you. And you know that, if it ever did relent...

It would not be because it cared.

Woo, johnny reference XD

Was hoping someone would recognise it. xD

Johnny should be required reading, if not for all the dark and morbid (yet sometimes relevant) advice, then for the sheer godly nonsense that is Happy Noodle Boy
