Stunning and cunning.
I'm going to be dangerous for the next few months, I can feel it rising, with my fleeting depression and the sufferage of others over 3rd quater shit, I'll be a shoe in for Charlotte's biggest asshole.
Drama is making a shift from obnoxious winter things to obnoxious spring things, meaning everyone has to find a way to hate on a more personal level since the world becomes difficult to hate in wonderful weather and blooming trees... I think the shift will go from political and military issues to social and cultural issues... just like in the Fall it was political and medical.
I don't frighten myself, actually I find some short commings perhaps I'm so arrogant I've convinced myself of how my mind works better than people that know me... though one must remember I get pep talks from myself, about myself.. much much more than the people around me. Such conversations would leave many an awkward silence hanging in the air like stale confetti thrown twenty minutes too late after the crowd was already dispersing.
Thats annoying.
When give someone a statistic thier best argument is usally to personalize it as though statistics mean nothing to them if they have not been a part of the negative branch. Example: A vehicle made by the Ford Motor Company is more likely to require massive overhaul maintenance after X number of miles less than a car made by a Japanese automaker, thus the statistic being Japanese autos are by and large more reliable than cars made by Ford.
Personalization: Well you see dat der pickup I've had it round 2 hunred tousand miles never a problem wif it whatcha statistics got to say about that huh?
Of couse not everyone rationalizing like this has an stupid accent but it helps convey the idea... incase you don't understand let me put it this way: Its a statistic made by accumulating the utilitarian mass of the thing in question, personalizing it is not an argument or even a statement worth of consideration, it just makes you look like a moron.
Not even look like a moron... if you rationalize this way you ARE a moron. Though thats moron by my standards not by the general populous, the general populous most likely finds it as a legitiment argument to the statistic... isn't that ironic?
No you cannot throw out an argument telling me I contradicted myself the general populous is not right.
No you cannot say statistics are the general populous, this are taken by a small group of people most likely more intellegent than our "populous"
Its not that I'm always right, its just that I'm never wrong.
FYI I'm saving this and any comments to it to WordPerfect for possible reports/term papers.
