Fucking Idiots

Post by Donna Matrix » Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:29 am

Fucking idiots are, well, fucking idiots.

Anybody who thinks that their opinions trump data is a fucking idiot.

The world does not revolve around you. It revolves around the Sun.

Well, then it's opinions... isn't it.

The thing is... there is data - which every person should view and make up their own minds... and then there are these people who actually think that YOU should see and think like them. Like their opinions overshadow the data. These opinionated fools are the fucking idiots.

In my opinion the data on hand says that you have a strong opinion regarding Fucking Idiots.

Whatever happened to the SCIENTIFIC METHOD?

1. Hypothesis

2. Theory

3. Gather Data

4. Proof positive or negative fact

Opinions have no place with FACTS. It seems more the "data gathering" that is the problem. We have data overload and most of it is incomplete, out of context or "selective" to fit a certain hypothesis.

I simply see opinion taking sway over fact. It is a symptom of an even greater disease i.e. CLASS WARFARE with alleged RACISM and Pursuits of Social Justice. There is more data which divides us than unites us it seems.

Facts, unfortunately, don't matter to many people. Here's why: http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/03 ... ris-mooney

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

If you can 'make it' until morning...often their brains fall out if it lasts that long...this is always a good thing, yes!

On an aside:
This 'Fucking idiots' thread could be the NEW 'my mind begins to hum' thread...just sayin'

One eye... opinions are the not the problem... forcing one's opinion on other is.

You may love fucking idiots.... I don't care. But for me, I don't like them. We are free to have divergent opinions.....

Could we not simply accept those who are numb of mind? They do have their place, as said before, they are simply more prevalent because the herd is falsely preserved in the modern world.

Fuck their brains out! Just don't let them to procreate among themselves!
