One of the hardest things to do in life is to control your despise of those lacking a full deck. Indeed it is best to act with some civility and tolerance to these folks. Often when they act out or condemn you or your observations, opinions or statements. So often they will immediately label, jump to conclusion and even embellish some issue and attack you. Or they may confide in you and comment on some event in the news, TV or something they observed and serve up a tirade on the matter.

The more you listen the more you think to yourself what a complete buffoon this person is. Yet, often it is better to listen understand their limited knowledge of the matter, personal background and perception. This allows you to not create an enemy who wants revenge because you disrespected them, with a comment such as; "You are a complete idiot, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!”

You see that really serves

no purpose to say much of anything. You are not going to change such a persons views, nor is it worth your time to try. Just know that whatever caused this person to think this way is probably social conditioning of his or her region, the media outlets they read and watch or their limited and skewed view of the world from their life experiences. Think on this in 2006.
