Kurt Vonnegut was a liberal and wrote books about the horror of leftist dystopian nightmares.

No wonder he lost it.

Stupid is as stupid does?

Stupid is as stupid does?

That's it right there... but many don't think through all the ramifications of that idea. Some of them are:

1. It's your actions that define you as stupid, not your mental ability. Therefore...

2. You don't have to be a genius to do the right thing, and...

3. Conversely, being mentally bright is no assurance that you won't do the wrong thing. Not only that...

4. The ethical choice corresponds to the most beneficial choice. Making correct ethical choices can be done out of simple good-heartedness even without mental acuity; and finally:

5. These simple ethics are cornerstone values. Things like 'be honest,' 'be trustworthy,' 'be true to your word,' 'people are worth more than politics,' 'drugs won't make your life better,' 'listen to your mama,' and so on... these are foundational values of the life well-lived, and of Western civilization.

That's what "Stupid is as stupid does" means.

“I’ve seen previous vids of that guy. He’s awesome.”

My favorite is the “guns kill” episode. Referencing libtard’s argument that because our population is full of guns, libtard concept explains we are a violent murderous race. Then Sayet starts with Waco Texas with a population armed to the teeth with .0000001 percent homicide rate, pretty much annihilates that lefty issue.

Years ago, I took a sociology class. The professor was a lesbian/feminist/marxist. She was a real piece of work.

She gave us an assignment -- review a movie. I chose "Thelma and Louise". It seemed like her kind of movie.

I explained in my paper that both Thelma and Louise had good lives. They were stable, they had family and friends -- and they were unhappy. They didn't like living in a situation where men made decisions and women mostly went along with it. So, Thelma and Louise started making their own decisions. They started thinking for themselves. They started new lives, where they had control.

And everything they did blew up in their faces from start to finish. One bad move after another, until they finally had the brilliant idea to drive off a cliff.

My conclusion was that feminism was a terrible path for women and for society.

Have to give the professor some credit -- she gave me a B+ (but there was a lot of angry commenting in red throughout).

Awesome!

I will never forget the High School book report I had to give on The Catcher in the Rye where I described Holden Caulfield as a Manic Depressant who should seek mental help.
