More evidence that some people have way too much free time on their hands:
I have a working hypothesis that I'm going to throw out there in the hopes that someone can prove (or disprove)
it:
The universe has a limited pool of "common sense" that humanity can pull from. Some get more access to it than
others, and way too many don't get any at all. No one gets anywhere near the maximum capacity of common sense.
The idea is this: if everyone had their maximum capacity of common sense (if their cup were full, so to speak), then
humanity would just keep growing ad infinitum, because people would just get along with each other, and everyone
would mind their own fucking business.
However, since there is only so much common sense to go around, people get bent out of shape over the stupidest
things (such as whether or not a stupid cartoon character designed for 8-year-old boys is gay), that those with better access
to the pool of common sense just have to kill the rest before they breed. They generally don't have to work very
hard: those without common sense usually kill each other off first.
Mark Twain said it best (and more eloquently): "The only thing common about common sense is the common lack of it."
So, to those of you who have enough time on your hands to wonder whether or not SpongeBob SquarePants and his starfish
friend Patrick are gay lovers: Get a real job--in fact, I have two openings for forklift operators you might be interested
in.
