An Observation About "Stupid People.": Stupid People Don't Know When to "Shut Up."

...Stupid people think they know it all and can say it all. An example of someone stupid is the last person who was
President of the United States. (For Clarity: NOT ... the current President, but the one before Joe Biden) I find it
hard to type his name.

...That person, thinks he.."Knows It All"
...But he really knows very little. Almost as if he knows, "Nothing At All"

I want to point out one thing about this idea: It took many years of observation of people to figure this idea out. (for me)
...Others have figured it out, but for me, it took a very long time & lots of experience of watching myself, and other people
to figure this one out. (for me)

I don't know...forget tfg..I have him in my trash bucket..don't see any threads with tfg ..so calming..

Now, about those who can't say, I don't know, all ASSuming..I am always getting after my hubby.."just say you don't know", because you know I will look it up, and if you are wrong..well..

Now he has his IPAD, that he said was broken...so I looked at it, cleaned it through maintainence, LOL, I am genius..his ASSuming has dwindled to searching his IPAD...

I WIN!!!!!
