JohnMitchell 14 #33 April 4, 2012 If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation. and The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. – Bertrand Russell They actually compliment each other. I think the top one is funny. I think the bottom one explains 90% of the trouble in our world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #40 April 9, 2012 Quote"My country ... right or wrong" "If you have nothing to hide ........." I agree that is a bad saying. The original quote of General Shurz was, "My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right. If wrong, to be set right." Much better. I hate the addage that there is 'no such thing as a dumb question'. There certainly is.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #41 April 9, 2012 Quote I hate the addage that there is 'no such thing as a dumb question'. There certainly is. no such thing as a dumb question - just dumb people that ask lots of questionsI hate "nuff said" - indicates a really closed mind or narcissistic person to say that - plus the shorthand is low brow "better late than never" - not if you work on the bomb squad "it's just my luck" (whiners) - people own their fate, this is a defeatist statement from the get go plenty more ...

davjohns 1 #44 April 9, 2012 Here's one - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you - I hate that one. Unworkable. I would have you all give me your money, but I'm surely not giving you mine. The correct translation of the Hebrew addage is - Whatever is harmful to you, do not do to others. That one works.
