Never argue with idiots. They’ll beat you on experience.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon.
Doesn’t matter how good you are, the bird is just gonna knock over the pieces, take a dump on the board, and strut around like it won anyway.
It was best expressed in the All in the Family episode, “Edith’s Conversion.”
Father John Majeski (Barnard Hughes): “Go from the presence of a foolish man when thou percieveth not in him the lips of knowledge.”
Archie (Carrol O’Connor): “What the hell does that mean?”
Majeski: “It means don’t waste your time arguing with an idiot!”
So Thomas Paine doesn’t get credit for the quote?
