Nonsense arguing


Me: “2+3=5″
Stupid: “No, that is not true, 1+1=2″
Others: “Hmmm, Stupid is correct, 1+1=2 … tasuki, you should accept that!”
Me: “Well, duh, of course 1+1=2, but that has nothing to do with 2+3=5″
Others: “tasuki should really calm down as it is completely clear that we are correct and 1+1=2″
Stupid: “See? I said it from the beginning that 1+1=2″
*tasuki gives up*

I really don’t know why so many people use arguments that are true, but completely irrelevant to the matter. I already met dozens of people in my life who usually argue this way. I find it really annoying and I am perplexed that they can be sooo utterly stupid. Guess I should follow the saying: “Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with years of experience”.

    Asi radsi nemam konkretni priklady, ale stava se to proste casto. Dnes jsem u obeda poslouchal radio, a byla tam zrovna nase ministryne informatiky, Dana Berova. Na otazku, jestli nema pocit, ze ma v rade pro vysilani prevahu CSSD, odpovedela, ze rada je rozhodne slozena z odborniku. Neni to sice uplne totez, ale je to zalozene na podobnem principu.
