Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon will knock over all the pieces, crap on the board and then strut around like it won anyway

Comparing idiots (and by necessary extension, fucking conservatives) to pigeons is tremendous insult to pigeons. Pigeons are smart. If I’m playing chess with any avian, winning against the bird was never the point lol, not even a consideration. I’m no ornithologist, and so don’t seek to play serious games with avians any more than I feel the need to seriously rebut a fucking conservative.

They may be smart birds, but they're about as good at chess as the average conservative is at intellectual debate

Given the two, I’d debate a pigeon before a fucking conservative. After all, the former is a bird, but the latter is just fucking stupid.

Hell, the former can fuck you up with large numbers and so can the latter, but at least pigeons are useful.
