Arguing with stupid people/stupid statements

is the worst, because then you're faced with eloquently destroying their blasphemy. And the problem is that they take a simple thing and complicate it and then your forced to uncomplicate it, but unless you're very careful you'll just end up sounding complicated yourself, lending them credibility.
One of my biggest pet peeves
You're faced with conveying how stupid they are; and that can be hard because you can't be too insulting and you can't be too serious (again: lending them credibility).

I agree can't stand stupid ppl, they always seem to act like they know everything too and argue.
I had a friend who told me that he loved the way I could basically point out to someone that their stupid without making them feel stupid. I guess that's an accomplishment lol
-------------------- "How do we know whether the life of any creature has fulfilled its destiny? I have known the very old to die in bitterness and despair. I have seen young children die before their time but leave behind such a legacy of love and joy that grief for their passing was tempered by the knowledge that their brief lives had given much to others." "You have answered your own question,Tanis Half-Elven, far better than I could," the Forestmaster said gravely. "Say that that our lives are measured not by gain but by giving." -Dragonlance "Dragons of Autumn Twilight" If we lived in luxury we would grow soft. No human being truely knows their full capacity to love until they become a parent.
