my, my, aren't you relentless. i knew you couldn't do it.

but i suppose in the little fantasy world which you inhabit, your own "rules" don't apply to you.

but i really have to stop all this...the game has worn thin, the competition being what it is. so, say what you will. i've reached my time limit for toying with you...on to more practical and rewarding concerns.

Hey Zebra

Yes, Robot...

How come there are frustrated pseudo leaders of the idiotic that insist in viewing themselves as sophisticated lard-arses and pretend that others can not see through their stupidity, insist on talking about the same old theme, over and over, in spite of being ignored, and, furthermore, being evident to any clear thinking person that such fools ARE being ignored, yet they insist of making a complete moron of themselves?

Well Robot, I guess it would be hard for you to understand, as what you have described is indeed only found in human nature.

In addition, while it is surprising indeed that such characteristics are non-existent in the majority of the members of the human race, it is surprisingly abundant in the personality of some, this makes them terribly dense.

I see, Zebra, you are correct in stating that I could not possibly comprehend the lack of logic inherent in such individuals.

In such case Zebra, this type of personality certainly would explain the existence, amongst others, of politicians, leaders, messiahs, religious fanatics, zealots, ayatollahs, bureaucrats, employees of the IRS, unibombers, college professors [the pompous type], pontiffs, revolutionary madmen, communists, Hillary Clinton, school board trustees [the idiotic type], relentless newsmen, puritans, Kenneth Starr, Bible pushers, employees of the EPA, abstract painters, saints, missionaries, miembros del PRI, Joseph Stalin, Pee Wee Herman, Presidents of countries, obnoxious taxi drivers, Hare Krishnas,converts, born again people, Adolph Hitler, holier than thou imbeciles, Napoleon Bonaparte, idealists, TV preachers, god fearing people, OJ Simpson, preachers, retards, christian coalition members, United Nations representatives, Department of Justice officials, altruists, nuclear bomb supporters, Rush Limbaugh, the Freemen, corporate square heads, and their cohorts, the kiss my rear royal courtship, and above them all SI Morons!!...... the list is long indeed!!

Yes that is true, Robot, the world is sadly full of morons.

So Zebra, how do you deal with these types of personalities?

Oh that is easy and simple, Robot, you pick your battles, those that are unimportant, irrelevant and the like, simply ignore them, as battling with a moronic idiot, is like entering a pissing match, no one wins, and worst of all you get wet.

In a way is like dealing with mongoloid people, (with due respect to the these poor people, but the comparison is valid), you know, the "they lack upstairs by birth type", you have to simply "walk around them", as regardless what argument you use, they will still see their way, and no other, or they will misconstrue the facts, or twist the words you use.

In fact, the most amazing characteristic, or common denominator of these type is the fact that out of absolutely a nothing argument or issue, (to the normal human being), they will construct a gigantic imaginary seven headed monster, that in their own stupidity, they get scared out of their empty skull, and start demanding that whatever the-hell-issue they have constructed, someone must be guilty as hell and if it were up to them the least sentence it should be imposed upon the heathen, should be immediate castration.

What they can not realize is that they start spouting utter rubbish out of their triple buttock shaped mouth, and truly believe that no one, absolutely no one can see through their senseless argument.

It has been known that these people utilize a strange practice, they place a wc plunger over their head with the object to prime their garbled brain, in order to prompt thinking, much like "push-starting" a car. (when I was a spy, I observed this being done, and it is quite an extraordinary sight to watch their bodies react, when they thought how the brain actually [in their eyes], began to react.)

In their case it is called "plunge-start brain" and in so doing, the possibility of these people being capable of articulating a sensible thought is a sure impossibility, in fact they get so lost, that the arguing becomes the main issue, they probably have forgotten the original issue, or they render the same, totally irrelevant, their main point becomes the argument....... Still they consider they are in a "mission" to "tell the poor peons that they should mend their ways".

They do not care with whom do they argue, the point is to argue.

So my dear friend Robot that is the sad explanation(!), for the existence of such morons, and how to deal with them.

Hmmm! I guess that makes sense Zebra, it is best to simply ignore their bladderblah.

I am glad you understand Robot, I never doubted you would. Good night.

Oh, but before I go, I think that my friend Mencken should be remembered by repeating his thoughts, he has always proven clear and helpful in these and similar issues:

* "It is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man."

*"Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. .... The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure."

*"It is the invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere, to assume...that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him."

*"...there is always a well-known solution to every human problem--neat, plausible, and wrong."

All by H. L. Mencken

And from me :

"Never argue with an idiot, after a while, no one will be able to see the difference."

"If the jacket fits, by all means put it on!"

Ok, Good night Robot.

Good night Zebra.
