"Nobody ever got stronger by knocking someone else down, they just got higher."

[Kire]

I just wrote this statement in another post.

I googled it.

It's never been said before.

w00t!




Palin and McCain are done. Why bother opposing them anymore. They'll never recover.

Time to build up our own skills.

1. Well,

that's not exactly accurate. If you knock someone down, you don't necessarily get "higher." At the most, they don't get past you, while you remain where you are. That's a sentiment that's been expressed through the ages, in various iterations and variations.

Google isn't necessarily the end-all and be-all in terms of persuasive authority.

But, I wouldn't discount the Republican ticket so quickly. The stupidity of the American voter and the wiliness of Diebold must be considered and never overlooked.

3. thank you for pointing that out

I've been spouting a lot of lofty "wisdom" lately.

thank you for correcting me.

4. Keep "spouting"

That - as far as I can tell - is the path.

5. Trial and error

That is how you learn.

2. Of course not. More is required.

In order to get stronger, you have to knock them down, cut out their heart, and eat it in front of their fading, despairing eyes while it's still beating.

Everyone knows that.

6. and then when they beg for a sarcasm smilie

you don't give it to them

that would be the worst
