DragonflyBlade21: A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her' date=' which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.[/quote']

Speaking of which I quite like Karl Marx's last words

"Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough."

There's a song I know that referred to that quote I like a lot, but I'm not sure who wrote it, the name of the song or anything else, but it goes something like.

Shaun of the Dead

Ed: Whassup with you hand, man?

Pete: I got mugged on the way home from work.

Ed: By who?

Pete: [with growing irritation] I dunno, some crackheads or something. One of 'em bit me.

Ed: Why did they bite you?

Pete: I DON'T KNOW! I DIDN'T STOP TO ASK THEM!!

(also from SotD)

Dianne: [describing the appearance of a zombie] Take another look at the way he moves. Remember, very limp. Almost like sleepwalking. Look at the face, it's vacant with a hint of sadness. Like a drunk who's lost a bet.

I preferred Hot Fuzz really but you can't really go wrong with a Pegg/Frost film.

He's a lot funnier in Black Books I find but this segment of his stand up is pretty good

The grammar of your quotes is kind of annoying to read, but other than that I suppose they are not particularly amusing as they make a fair deal of sense.

That being said, Mexicans don't have any particular claim to the US north of Texas and other Southwestern areas that I know of. Native Americans generally might have such a claim, but Mexicans do not, since they are mixtures of more southern native americans and europeans, most of them from Spain and Portugal.

Yes that's right serious response to joke response Nestling.

Here's two funny ones that I found about war:

"Wars do not prove who is right -only who is left"

-Bertrand Russell

"I know not what WWIII will be fought with, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and bones."

- Albert Einstein

"If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off."

"A foolproof method for sculpting an elephant: first, get a huge block of marble, then you chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant."

"A word to the wise is unnecessary." - La Rouchefoucauld

"I've worn contact lenses so long I can put them in with my eyes closed."

"If there was any logic in this world, it would be men who ride side-saddle, not women."

"People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs."

"The food that you get in art museums is institutional revenge for the art that you get in restaurants."

"The sum of society's intelligence is less than the average of it's individual parts."

"I don't mind if you sleep in class. Only, please do not snore. You are disturbing others who are trying to sleep." - Dr. C. Rao, UW-Whitewater

"The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the ocean searching for a suitable rock or hunk of coral to cling to and make its home for life. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain any more...so it eats it. It's rather like getting tenure." - Michael Scriven

"A lecture is a process where information is passed from the notebook of the lecturer to the notebook of the student without necessarily passing through the minds of either."

"Universities are places of knowledge. The freshman each bring a little in with them, and the seniors take none away, so it accumulates."

I could go on. I've found a site with literally nothing but thousands of funny (usually anonymous) quotes.

No. A man like Bertrand Russell should be quite capable of realizing that who is "left" on this "earth" is a matter left up to debate as well.

"A word to the wise is unnecessary." - La Rouchefoucauld

But fun.

He's saying that its foolish to use war to settle ideological disputes since the outcome of the war has nothing to do with the merits of the ideologies being fought over.

Fine, let us discuss the quote instead of just being tongue in cheek.

Ideologies are formed by and interracted with by individuals, and one might well come to the belief that the superior ideology IS the surviving one if one follows anything along the lines of social darwinism.

The "merits of the ideologies being fought over" may well inspire some individuals more effectively than others, meaning that while war probably has fairly little to do with ideology, to say it has nothing to do with it is, again, an extreme statement to be making. Of course, I ADMIT that the quote itself would not sound half as good if it contained such caveats.
