So, since you believe everybody except you is stupid, then the opposite is actually true?

Too bad actually discussing my thread is beyond you. |
Yeah, your ideas are really out there.

Silly me.
I had been entertaining the idea that Joe might prove to be smarter than he seems.

And, most simply seem to learn how to repeat the the mistakes of their forebears.

More like, "History is written by the victors"
Which is no longer true of course.
These days, it's actually possible to read different versions of history. In fact, history changes with each new decade of textbooks.
Or on Wikipedia, in a matter of seconds.

Re: Chances Are, You Are STUPID!
Does anyone else ever think, "I wonder if Disobey/Cultsmasher is just busy doing real world shit? Or is he in jail?"
I'm just kidding. I don't think about him at all.

You apparently missed the point of my thread. People are controlled by many things. Chiefly, stupidity. Also, your X link goes nowhere.

That was unnecessary. I wrote many threads around here. In the ones you did reply to, it usually wasn't with a rational response. Which means that you didn't think about what I had to say. If you didn't think about them, why should you think about me.

Wherever you ran across that saying, you should toss it back out the window. From what I have seen, most people don't build layers of understanding. They build layers of stupidity to shield themselves from reality.

Re: Chances Are, You Are STUPID!
The historical fact that almost no nation would take the German Jews, especially not the US or England, Hitler was dead right about that.
Reminds me of how no nation will take the Palestine population in the present. Which is deeply ironic.
