Thanks for coming to www.dont-be-a-hero.com's blog once again. We appreciate those of you who understand the importance of not getting involved...ever.
Here at the www.dont-be-a-hero.com blog we'd like to give folks some ideas on how to avoid getting involved in one of the most dreaded subjects. That subject is.... Politics
It's important first to practice prevention. As Ben Franklin once said "A stitch, in time saves nine." In the case of politics, avoiding addressing someone's remarks can save you from having to avoid a very long conversation or in some cases a fist fight. So let's learn how to keep from getting involved.
Prevention Plan:
1. If you know someone who is politically active or vocal and they invite you anywhere practice excuses to avoid going anywhere with them.
Examples:
A) Sorry, I can't make it because my car is in the shop.
B) Sorry, I can't ride with you either because my wife keeps accusing me of cheating on her with people that give me a ride
C) No my wife can't come because she has Ebola and is highly contagious.
2. If you happen to be somewhere and someone invites you to go to any kind of political rally or protest practice making excuses to avoid going there in the first place.
Examples:
A) Sorry, I need to to watch UFC, Boxing, Football, Soccer, some guys drive in circles really fast for hours at NASCAR, Basketball, Baseball or anything else that serves as a distraction from pressing issues that affect all of our lives and future prosperity.
Alternatively if you find yourself going back in time to ancient Rome you can try this variation:
B) Sorry, I can't do anything about the Senate raping everyone so I must go to the Colosseum to watch a couple of sweaty guys kill each other for no reason whatsoever.
(In Latin: Tati senatus, nihil non possum rapuit quisque vigilare, ut vadam ad Colosseum aestuosi duobus guys omnino nulla ratione se interfecit..)
3. If you happen to be at an event and someone attempts to bring up politics you can always try to ruin the conversation so that they lose interest in speaking about it to you.
For example:
A)
Question: What do you think of water-boarding?
Response: Sounds fun. I don't go to the beach very often though.
B)
Question: What do you think of the U.S. government buying billions of bullets, trying to pass laws that infringe on the second amendment, declaring patriots, veterans, and protesters to be low level terrorists, and declaring that they can basically kill anyone they want with a drone strike without trial or evidence?
Response: I think they're just mad that "Zero Dark Thirty" didn't win an Oscar for "Best Picture" this year.
Until next time, keep not getting involved. and be sure to bookmark us because www.dont-be-a-hero.com is down and we're not getting involved.

I was going to correct your Latin, but I would rather not get involved.
ReplyDeleteHaha good one!- I was going to translate it myself but I left that up to GoogleTranslate to limit my involvement.
DeleteI love this blog now only if you can convince my mother in law... That being involved in other problems isn't good for anyone
ReplyDeleteI'll try and do one specifically regarding friends and relatives that get involved and how to avoid dealinng with that. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really do want to add more but I think my wife needs me in the kitchen
ReplyDeleteWho is Dave and did he kill himself
ReplyDeleteThis is bullshit, the owner of this blog should be murdered.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I only found this site because of American Dad. LOL I'll check more of this out later I doubt the two are related.
