You can't fix stupid

You can kindly explain. You can provide resources. You can ask them to analyze what they have said. You can yell and get indignant. You can patiently ask questions. And still, stupid. Just. Doesn't. Die.

Adversarial

I have been declared adversarial. On two conservative LDS blogs. Simply for saying things like "Actually, marriages of girls at 14 was not terribly common in the 1840s" and "Census data in Utah during Brigham Young's lifetime does not support the idea that polygamy was necessary because of excess women. There were actually more men than women, which meant that some men went wifeless to allow for polygamy." The thing is, I firmly believe that you can know this information to be true and still have a testimony of the church.

Neighborly

Note to the substance-addicted, unreasonable neighbor downstairs who lied to the apartment manager so that we're on notice for eviction if we don't resolve the "noise problem" (yeah, we're totes awake at 3 am and spend TONS of time having friends over to drink):

It is not my fault that you are alone. It is not my fault that you spend most of your time hungover. It is not my fault that you wake up in the middle of the night. It is not my fault that you're working a crap job. It is not my fault that your car is dying. It is not my fault that you're a grown man living in a college apartment. It is not my fault that you can't put together a reasoned argument.

So stop blaming me and my children for your unhappiness, mmm'k? Sending the management after us won't make your life any better.
