Does anybody else hate people who say completely asinine things like that and think they're conjuring some groundbreaking philosophical notion? I thought we had malfunctioning airbag systems for these people.

I think, using that logic, I can write up some kinematics to show that me shooting them in the head with a .44 magnum won't harm them in the least.

Please... sign the waiver allowing me to demonstrate the success of your logic...

Yes. I hate them. I loathe them with a passion. Not enough to actually kill them, per se, but enough that I can't say I'd be very likely to mourn their deaths.

You can even make an adult career out of it if you want & call it Post Modernism.

yep, post modernism is a wonderful beast. I can't believe they have a course in high school which entails "making shit up" and make it mandatory!

No mention of PM is complete without linking to the Postmodern Generator ...

I loathe this crap with a passion bordering on the hydrophobic., or something. Usual response is "what if..." make up something very unpleasant and painful that is incredibly unlikely and apply it to them.
In less permitting company, I stick to "I don't do 'what if'".
