They complained incessantly that income tax rate is so low in the US and then ignore Social Security, State taxes, local income taxes, county levies, or inflation. They have hard on for pretending every state was lynching niggers in the 90s because not every state had an anti lynching law, ignoring that it was already a federal crime for 30 years prior to that. Really i heard that argument for many issues, like gay protections, or whatever, and they completely ignore that all those protections are now federal, so why would a state re create a law that is already a law, except to waste everyones time? Just everything about these idiots makes no snese

"You've accomplished nothing if you've bested a fool."

I never waste time or breath arguing with idiots. If they were intelligent they would have already done the math, been in possession of the facts and would already agree with me. If they haven't and don't, it is not my appointed task in this life to correct or educate them. I 'm not getting paid for it and theirs is a problem that will eventually solve itself, one way or the other, without any further input from me. I am perfectly willing to let "Wiley Idiot" blow himself straight to hell with his "Acme Patented Liberal Dynamite Kit", while I observe from a great distance with scant interest, but no small amount of amusement.

When someone says something that is so manifestly stupid as to almost cry out for argument, it actually does me a kindness. It tells me in one statement that I can safely and happily live out the rest of my life completely ignoring anything further that this particular idiot has to say about anything, ever.

If a response seems appropriate or necessary, I simply smile and respond, "You know what? You might be right." and walk away, leaving them with nowhere to go. MPAI (Most People Are Idiots) and they skip right past "may be", and only hear the words, "You", and, "right", and assume that I am agreeing with them. They don't bother listening for the other, unspoken, half of that statement. "You may also, and just as easily, be wrong."
