Reponses to Idiotic Sayings #3
One of the lessons I learnt in my transition from kid to adult is that most people, or at least most of the people around me (Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu), are idiots.
And by most people, I mean almost everyone.
And by almost everyone, I mean everyone but me.

The few times I watched Visu's Arratai Arangam, it became painfully obvious. It's all about rhetoric. Nobody has thoughts or discussions based on logic. If you can rhyme or be funny, your observations are insightful. At first, I found this very frustrating, but later realised that it's just the way it is and I'll have to live with it.

So here's some advice:
When faced with idiotic arguments, DO NOT point out flaws in it. That doesn't work. What you need to do is fight idiocy with idiocy.

For example,
Moron: If God was cool about homosexuality, why did he create Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve? (This would get a standing ovation on Arratai Arangam)
You: If God didn't want men to rape women, why did he make men stronger?

See how it works?

Update: Some of you completely missed the point. Do not use logic. Nobody will listen to you. You should fight idiocy with idiocy. And do not make it so idiotic that the worst idiot can see right through it.

Another response occurred to me this morning:
You: If God doesn't want us to have anal sex, why is the asshole at dick level?

See what I mean? The idiot has to has to be confused for a moment before realising how ridiculous hir argument was.

(I have nothing against anal sex. It's more about the line of reasoning that leads to that conclusion. Besides, morons against homosexuality are likely to be against anal sex too. The idea is to make morons cry.)
