ArchivesSurely a hilarious thing to say...
in reply to a message by Ivayla
... even worse if there are stupid people in the real world who believe that... :(
But how anyone can deny facts, if they are there??? Definitely not a clever person... or maybe it is someone who simply refuses to acknowledge or accept the truth. Maybe then it'll do good to them to know some really immortal words by real people and not from a funny film character:
Isokrates, 436-338 BCE:
"There is not a possible way to inspire wisdom and honesty to those who are not predisposed for it."
Epicuros, 341-270 BCE:
"Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."
Platon, 427-348 BCE:
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something."
Pythagoras of Samos, 572-500 BCE:
"You cannot explain everything to everyone."
and lastly:
Socrates, 470-399 BCE:
"When two people have a dispute, the loser is actually the winner because he learns something new."
"Until the day that an ancient inscription will be found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."

Ok, thats better...! :)
Sorry for before, but it really pisses me off the fact that many people actually do use that phrase from the film as an insult, disguised as a joke...!
And as Diogenes said:
"I don't know your thoughts, so I don't know you."
:)
