Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. - George Carlin. But in reality, these .... dumb people are anywhere... argue with them don't mean let them frustrated you and put you in bad mood all over the day. You can't always ignore them, but you can find an effective way to deal with those people. So, how do you do it? Just follow along.

First of all, you should arm yourself with knowledge. Knowledge is power. Read and listen as much as you can from new paper, magazine, informative broadcast like TV and radio. The more facts and statistics you know, the more easier for you shut the stupid person down. I still remembering last time my boss argue with me a silly statement " Malaysia is bigger than China". Wow!! What a silly question!! But i don't know how argue with him, because i don't know the exactly how big the Malaysia and China. I only have to say 'Google" it to figure out. The situation will be different if i answer him with Malaysia's total landmass 329.847 km comprises Peninsula 131 598 sq km, Sarawak 124,450 sq km, and Sabah 76,115 sq km. Whereas China is 9,706,961 km². So, which is bigger?

Second, you should avoid pointless debate. Involve in pointless debate only will increase your frustration and angry level. So, what you can do just "emm emm emmm" to those of people. Just keep in the mindset that tomorrow is another good to handle those people.

Third, do not complain it to your friend. The more you complain to your friend, the more the dumb things comes to you. It don't mean you cannot talk to your friend. You can talk to your best friend or closest friend but not all of your friend. Friend might betray friend out. So, do not always talk everything to all of your friend.

Last, some of the dumb people are armed with the sharp language skill and they do not listen what you are try to explain to them. What you can do is just go away from them. Just as teach as George Carlin, do not argue with them.


As shown as video below, a very good and healthy video to teach us "not argue with dumb people" or a bad consequences.
