rehmwa 2 #15 March 3, 2011 QuoteQuoteSomething very stupid I've heard recently... Quote"Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open. " Tomas Dewar What do you consider stupid about that saying? I find it stupid - because usually when someones says "open your mind" it's because that person is being closed minded and wants everyone else to blindly accept their position. the statement isn't the problem, though, just the ones using it ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You made an assertion, now it's time to support it with some kind of logic. among others... statement suggests that closed parachute does not function and, as you probably know, open parachute may very well be disfunctional. Which makes this statement stupid... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
