One I really HATE :!: :evil:

Despite the facts, of course.


This one makes me sad:

Often wrong, but never in doubt
:cry:

I just realized, one of the reasons I prefer thinking over the assumptions and methods more than looking at the conclusions is that it is easier for me to remember methods than conclusions. Methods are patterns, conclusions are points.

I saw something like this at the begining of a movie:

"This story is true, the events actually happened as shown. Except where we changed the true story so you wouldn't get bored."

Some more of my buttons:

The Web is the world's greatest library - with all the books on the floor, and some of them are on fire.

Some people live in the fast lane. I live in oncoming traffic.

Sleep? No thanks, I'm trying to cut down.

I'm dressed and out of bed. Awake will cost you extra.

Paranoia is the delusion that your enemies are organized.

I always tell the truth, except when it's not in my best interest.

Then there is the old one about the pathological liar.

I never lie, and I don't make mistakes either.

Lying is just a way of protecting the truth.

Politicians are always protecting the truth.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Common plea prayer: "Lord, I know I'm no saint, but what did I ever do to deserve this?"
Lord: "Oy, you want the Reader's Digest version or can you spare a few weeks?"
