They're crazy.
On TV, there is always the running gag about the guy who was the captain of the high school football team, dated the head cheerleader and threw the pass to win State - and now he hates his job, marriage and life and spends all his time fixating on the small window of time when he was 17 and the whole world made sense.
He hasn't grown, hasn't adapted, hasn't learned anything new.
There are plenty of emotionally and mentally stunted people like this.
Hey, I personally enjoyed high school a lot back when I was in high school, but I enjoy being a husband and a dad a lot more now.
These people are living in a time when they could comprehend the reality around them without any effort and every new bit of data they are presented with today is either forced to fit an old category or discarded.
They forget nothing and learn nothing.
They are "IDIOTS".
I've worked with people that swore snakes held their tails in their mouths, and rolled down hills, the idiots "knew" it was true, "By God, I seen it". Every single one of them a "yaller dog democrat".
The smart ones are in the game to control, and exploit, the stupid ones, for their own good, of course. The only two reasons I can see for being a democrat are stupidity, or a desire to crack a whip.
We look at people in third world countries, and wonder how they can be so stupid, ignorant, and superstitious. Look closer to home, you might be surprised.
Never try and confuse a RAT with facts, their head's might explode
They are old and stupid. When they were young they were just as stupid. But these are not the people who will give us gay marriage. Most of that generation is dead (although some are still voting). It is the boomers who gave us free love and the Vietnam war resistance, the selfish ME generation that wants an ever expanding social spending spree for their benefits that will force gay marriage on us (if we let them). This is the generation that murdered a generation in the womb and will demand that the survivors pay for their viagra and support them in a retirement most of them didn't save for. I have hope though, after all John F'Kerry lost. The very embodiment of the Boomer Left lost. So I still have hope.
they got keyboards; and anonymous
This is just another reason that I am staying single.
Marriage is starting to be such a "gay" thing that I don't want to be associated with it.
