Don't think you're mad at me because you don't agree with me, it's probably because you are too dumb to have a good argument.

Here is a little rant for you. Lately I have noticed (especially on facebook) whenever I get involved in a discussion, someone on the opposing side gets very rilled up and starts getting mad. They start name calling, and continue stating the same argument repeatedly. In other words they make themselves look like the simpletons they are. Once you point out the holes in their arguments, the brain damage becomes more evident.

Well Chris, what makes you think you are so much smarter than these other random people? Perhaps you are the moron.

I have thought of this, but there is a difference between myself and most morons.

1) When someone makes a good point I tell them I agree with them.
Most morons will not make any concessions. Every word they say is the absolute truth, everything you say is false. Unless you agree unreservedly of course.

2) When I make a mistake, I agree. I made a mistake.
A moron is always right. Period.

3) I try not to argue about things I don't know.
OK. Sometimes I have been known to be a moron when it comes to this point. Morons will argue about anything, with anyone.

4) I try not to be arrogant, self righteous and closed minded.
The typical view of a Christian are these things exactly, but I would say they are sure signs of a moron. Fundamentalist have these attributes. Whether Christian, Muslim, Agnostic or atheist. Fundamentalist are generally these three things, and when you get into a discussion with such a person, beware.

Often a perfectly normal person can transform into a moron. Religion, politics and environmentalism are all hot button moron issues at the moment. So be wary. Even you (I) can be a moron.

Think before you speak.

Learn before you think.
