(FOUR) ARGUING WITH NOTHING ON THE LINE IS A WASTE.
I remember the old and un-PC meme of “Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded”. Pretty horrible stuff. That totally wouldn’t fly in 2012. The point is that it’s a race you’re not really going to win. Outside of the feeling of being “right”… what’s the point? Find something productive and useful to do with your time. A discussion or a casual debate is one thing, but you know when it turns that into that area of an argument. Sometimes it’s worth taking the extra few breaths of patience and going on with your day. Cut the drama out of your life and you’ll see good things and good days. Arguing is an easy sacrifice.
(THREE) STONERS > ALCOHOLICS
There is always that ONE person who’ll have some horrible example of a story, but let’s be real here. For every one car accident and murder caused by a stoner there has to be oodles more cases where the driver was drunk. Alcohol should be illegal and marijuana should be legal. Why not regulate it? My biggest point is that alcohol is worse than marijuana so why is THAT not legal. I think it’s the point that you can’t give someone a breathalyzer for weed to really test one’s level of use. If that had an answer I don’t see why it couldn’t be regulated. Any other reason is bullshit. The stereotypes of weed are laughing, occasionally eating, and lowered motor skills. It’s NOT like that for everyone. Not everyone is a lame giggly character from Half Baked.
(TWO) BIG MOUTHS SAY LITTLE.
It’s a sure thing that those who are loud and talk a lot are full of shit. The loud mouth “Look at me! Look at me!” folks will tell you anything and everything with various degrees of conviction. The difference between being opinionated and a big mouth is how tacky you are when sharing. I’m all for a well thought out opinion, but these folks will cling to the littlest of truths and debate and argue the same little stupid point. It’s really off putting to normal folks. They don’t like it.
(ONE) YOUR FOOD ORDER WILL BE WRONG 51% OF THE TIME.
If your order at a fast food restaurant has any special instructions you should NEVER expect a 100% success rate. I’ve done the studies here. It’s 76% proven that your food order will be wrong 51% of the time. Some days not getting exactly what you paid for will cause you to get pissed off. I get that. Sometimes you just don’t want tomatoes! Why would you? It’s best to just take a deep breath, realize these people don’t give a shit about you and you should be lucky your $3 meal is even cooked properly. I’ve had an enlightenment when it comes to this whole thing. The game I play is “If I don’t get food poisoning… I win!” It’s just the odds are against you. You should just accept your food-fate. If you want them to not include pickles… you can bet your ass that you’ll eventually find yourself biting into a pickle. No onions? You’re going to eventually find a stray onion piece. “No Guac In Mine!”… You’re getting guac! …. 51% of the time.
