On the eve of my 39th birthday, and just in time to tack on to my previous wise-bits post<\/a>, I offer you some wisdom that I gained the other day, right after the novel experience of being called a libtard.<\/p>\n

Never discuss politics with strangers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously, you don’t want to debate politics with people until you know that…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They have an IQ above 50.<\/li>\n
  2. They’re at least somewhat civilized.<\/li>\n
  3. They don’t listen to Hannity, O’Reilly, Beck, or Limbaugh, because if they do then they probably don’t meet the first two criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m almost certain that you shouldn’t discuss politics with casual acquaintances, coworkers, or family either, but I’m not 100% sure, so I’ll probably go ahead and prove it the hard way, then ruefully expand my wise-bit to read “Never discuss politics with anyone.” Meanwhile, I’m not even acting in accordance with my wise-bit as originally stated. By sharing this post, I have technically opened up a discussion with strangers, and the discussion is at least partly about politics. Ooops.<\/p>\n

    Some people never learn, no matter how old they get.<\/p>\n
