My own personal quote, because the world is ruined by stupid and ignorant people who think that they own this world, and are allowed to win (the Republican Party for example, as well as other right wing parties). One of the most beautiful things about these modern times is that the lgbt rights movement has shown that when people are educated on things, and when stupid assholes (telling people to be hateful for instance) aren't allowed to dominate, people can be much better human beings, and be encouraged to be decent, rational human beings, instead of going to the dark side and hating and persecuting out of sheer ignorance and hurting other people's lives as a result. The world is a much better place when the stupid and ignorant, aggressive people aren't allowed to dominate. Thus, once again:
"The world is a better place when ignorant assholes don't win"
or
"The world is a better place when stupid assholes don't win"

(45,274 posts)I offer a little essay of mine from a couple of years ago--
And the health care mess. Thats totally the fault of the smart people. I mean, if all those smart people hadnt gotten involved, there wouldnt be any health care to speak of in the first place, let alone a government trying to shove it down our throats. You cut yourself, you chew some leaves and paste them over the cut, right? Dont need some complicated government program for that.
Teaching evolution? Special rights for homosexuals? Separation of Church and State? Right. Smart people again. Youre starting to get the picture, arent you?
Here are the steps you can take to help fight smart people.
First, home school your kids. In addition, if you use the Bible as your only textbook, you can pretty much guarantee your kids will never turn into Smart People.
Second, try to help other people avoid turning their kids into Smart People. Always vote against school referendums, and vote for the most conservative candidates for the local school board.
Third, always remember that rich people and corporations are your friends. They, too, want to keep the government from interfering in your life and trying to better your conditions. That is one reason why private schools are best for all children: They are run by corporations, and they are specially designed to prevent their students from turning into Smart People.
A daily dose of at least two hours of Rush Limbaugh will help you avoid becoming a Smart Person, particularly if you add at least a weekly dose of Glenn Beck and buy gold.
You must always be on guard against being infected by Smart thinking.
Here is a quick little test you can take to keep tabs on yourself. Just circle the number from 1 to 5 depending on how much you agree or disagree:
1) Fox News is fair and balanced. Disagree..1..2..3..4..5..Agree
2) God wants Ted Cruz to be President. Disagree..1..2..3..4..5..Agree
3) In the old days, people rode dinosaurs. Disagree..1..2..3..4..5..Agree
Add up the numbers you circled. Any score less than 12 means that you are in danger of catching Smartness and need to listen to Gordon Liddy in addition to Rush. If your score gets as low as 10, you should immediately contact your sponsor in the Tea Party and arrange to receive an immediate infusion of irrational rage.
