Youth often mistakes Intelligence for Wisdom, while Age has learned that Experience can do in a pinch.
Democratic presidents are too often guilty of messing around with other women; while with Republican presidents its too often other nations.

Only from people fooling themselves.
Both parties are the same now. The only difference is what special interests they pander too.
They do not care about you or their voters.
They are all scum and are ruining this country.

Saw this one on a Czech Expat BBS when I was looking for info on Prague
"The great difference between Yanks and Brits is that Yanks believe that life is serious, but not hopeless...whereas Brits believe that life is hopeless, but not serious. "

Well maybe you're right, GT. I thought it was Democratic administrations who proposed closing military installations to save money, now we've got a pretty big list from the Republicans.
Schaden that's a good one. I'm not sure what its called but I find that kind of humor amusing.

Youth often mistakes it's strength and virilaty as the solution to its problems, rather than the source of many.
When I was 19 I worked as a day laborer on a concrete job. The oldest man on the crew had just made a joking remark to another young man on the crew about his physical ablility to carry bags of mix to the mixer. The young man had a hangover, and was dragging arse badly. He had just dropped a bag bursting it on the ground. The young man in fact could lift several hundred pounds over his head.
The young man had a short fuse and began intimidating the oldest man with his physical bearing while challenging him to step behind a wall for a go at it. The oldest man on the crew was in his 50's, 5'9" and 165 lbs. The young man was 6'1" 210lb's. The oldest man on the crew laughed, told him to cool it and take a few minutes break. He understood hangovers. The young man was not satisfied and shoved the oldest up against a wall.
One 2x4 and an ambulance later, the job forman asked me what happened. I looked at the oldest man on the job and said the young man had a hangover and tripped with a bag of mix smacking his face square on a 2x4 leaning against a wall. I had to do 2 mens carry job for that day, but I learned a valuble lesson.
Age and experience is smart enough to use a 2x4.............don't scare old men, they won't play fair.

Or more properly, "What is 'fair' is usually relative to your point of view."
