    “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” Amen, Albert Einstein. Amen.

    1. It's a nice June day, and you just want to have a pleasant debate with your friends. But there's always that one person whose goal in life is to make your brain angry.

    2. You know. YOU KNOW that you should stay calm. That there's no point in arguing. But then they say something like this.

    3. You try to stay calm. But they see your rationality and decide to raise you a piping hot dish of stupid.

    4. Feeling your blood start to boil, you try counting to 10.

    5. BUT THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO LEARN.

    6. They seem so convinced by what they're arguing, so you inquire about their sources.

    7. You decide to walk away, but they know exactly how to reel you back in.

    8. You begin to feel your sanity slowly slip away from you.

    9. You understand that people are entitled to their own opinions...BUT COME ON.

    10. You start to question everything you thought about the world.

    11. They keep talking even when humanity is begging them to stop.

    12. You start to think you're on an episode of punk'd.

    13. Your body starts uncontrollably twitching with every phrase that begins like this.

    14. And with Hillary Clinton's developing campaign, out come the people who try to justify misogyny.

    15. You begin to wonder if this is all that's running through their mind.

    16. You finally crack, and abandon everything you learned about civilized debate.

    17. Just as you begin to walk away, they throw in one last punch.

    18. At this point. You are tired. You are sad. And this is all you can say.

    19. You realize that you've probably met smarter bread, and you just have to know when to call it.
