![]() Famed humorist Mark Twain has received credit for a germane cautionary remark: Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. Unfortunately, no one has presented a good citation for Twain. Would you please examine this saying? Quote Investigator: QI has been unable to find substantive evidence crediting this remark to Mark Twain. It does not appear on the Twain Quotes website edited by Barbara Schmidt, 1 nor does it appear in the large compilation “Mark Twain at Your Fingertips” edited by Caroline Thomas Harnsberger. 2 The Bible contains a thematically related passage in Proverbs 26:4 and 26:5: 3 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. Statements that were closer to the modern template emerged in the 1800s. Here is a sampling with dates which shows the variation in phrasing and the evolution over time. All of the earliest citations were anonymous. 1878: Don’t argue with a fool, or the listener will say there is a pair of you. 1878: Don’t argue with a fool or listeners will think there are two of you. 1896: Arguing with a fool shows that there are two. 1930: When you argue with a fool, he’s doing the same thing. 1930: When you argue with a fool be sure he isn’t similarly occupied. 1937 Never argue with a fool. But if you must, the safest way is to carry on the debate with yourself. 1938: Never argue with a fool in public lest the public not know which is which. 1943: When you argue with a fool, be sure he isn’t similarly engaged. 1951: It isn’t smart to argue with a fool; listeners can’t tell which is which. 1954: Never argue with a fool. Bystanders can’t tell which is which. 1966: Don’t argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. 1999: Never argue with an idiot. You’ll never convince the idiot that you’re correct, and bystanders won’t be able to tell who’s who. 2012: Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. Below are selected citations in chronological order. On May 20, 1878 “The Rochester Evening Express” of Rochester, New York printed a collection of miscellaneous “Happy Thoughts” while acknowledging another periodical. Here were the first three. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI: 4 —”He liveth long, who liveth well” —”Wit is the god of moments; but genius is the god of ages.” —Don’t argue with a fool, or the listener will say there is a pair of you.—Cincinnati Breakfast Table. On May 22, 1878 the “Lyon County Times” of Silver City, Nevada printed a collection of sayings under the title “All Sorts of Items”. Here were two items: 5 Don’t argue with a fool, or the listeners will say there is a pair of you. It’s supreme folly for soldiers to expect full rations from a quarter master. On May 28, 1878 “The Daily Graphic” of New York City printed the adage together with a comment: 6 —Don’t argue with a fool or listeners will think there are two of you.—Cincinnati Breakfast Table. We thought of dissenting from this proposition and showing its falsity, but the more we think of it—come to think, we won’t. In 1886 “The Leicester Chronicle & Leicestershire Mercury” of England printed another anonymous variant of the saying: 7 Don’t argue with a fool, or listeners will say there are two of you. In 1896 the “Lykens Register” of Lykens, Pennsylvania printed a collection of “Words of Wisdom” which included the following compact instance: 8 Arguing with a fool shows that there are two. In March 1930 a newspaper in Sioux Falls, South Dakota printed this variant: 9 Inexperienced candidates for office should bear in mind that “when you argue with a fool, he’s doing the same thing.” When sharp barbs are being hurled, however, there is tendency to forget that arguing with a fool is foolish. In November 1930 “The San Francisco Examiner” of California printed the following version: 10 When you argue with a fool be sure he isn’t similarly occupied. In 1937 a newspaper in Nebraska published the following joke: 11 Never argue with a fool, an exchange advises. But if you must, the safest way is to carry on the debate with yourself. In 1938 a newspaper in Fremont, Ohio printed another instance: 12 Never argue with a fool in public lest the public not know which is which. In 1943 “Esar’s Comic Dictionary” by Evan Esar published the following adage under the topic “argue”: 13 When you argue with a fool, be sure he isn’t similarly engaged. In 1951 the “Duncannon Record” published another variant: 14 It isn’t smart to argue with a fool; listeners can’t tell which is which. In 1954 a newspaper in Jackson, Mississippi published an instance of the saying with the word “bystanders”: 15 Never argue with a fool. Bystanders can’t tell which is which. In 1966 an instance that almost matched the title of this article appeared in a newspaper in New Oxford, Pennsylvania without attribution: 16 Don’t argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. In 1998 a message containing a collection of statements fitting the topic “Fools” was posted to the alt.quotations newsgroup of the Usenet discussion system. Three contiguous statements are shown below. The ascription Mark Twain is supposed to be paired with the statement above it, but some inattentive readers may have assumed that Twain crafted the statement below his name. This is known as a textual proximity error: 17 With the whole world full of fools, there is none who thinks himself one, or even suspects it. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed… Mark Twain When you’re arguing with a fool, make sure he isn’t doing the same thing. In 1999 a message posted to the rec.audio.tubes newsgroup of Usenet ascribed a version of the saying to Mark Twain: 18 Mark Twain said it best: Never argue with an idiot. You’ll never convince the idiot that you’re correct, and bystanders won’t be able to tell who’s who. In 2012 a columnist in a Howell, Michigan newspaper credited Twain with the saying in the title of this article: 19 “Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.” – Mark Twain In conclusion, the core idea of the quotation under examination appeared as a biblical proverb. The popular saying that has been incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain is part of a large diverse family of statements that began to appear by 1878. Initial occurrences were printed without attributions. Image Notes: Illustration of two fools embracing from OpenClipart-Vectors at Pixabay.

![]() IT WASN'TANINSURRECTION, the Democrats are lying and exaggerating (again) in order to score political points while performing a cover-up at the same time about the events surrounding Jan 6th. January 6th.... - Why won't the FBI release the 14k hrs of video? - Why were FBI agents not only attending dressed as Trump supporters, but caught on video trying to rile people up to storm the Capitol? - Why did the Capitol police remove the barricades and wave people in? (Caught on video) - Why did the Capitol police officer lie under oath and say Officer Sicknick died as a result of the Capitol riot? He died the next day, in his home town, of a stroke per the medical examiner and his own family. - Why did Pelosi refuse the National Guard? - Why were they hiding and protecting the officer who MURDERED Ashley Babbit? - Why were known Antifa members dressed in Trump gear not only there, but caught on film inside the Capitol before the riots? - Why are conservatives still held in jail, rumored to having been beaten in custody, STILL being held without due process 7 months later? - WHY IS NOBODY ASKING THESE QUESTIONS?? So just what was Nancy Pelosi up to??? The irony of this whole January 6th investigation is that the subject of the investigation are the decision makers related to security at the Capitol that day. Riots and violence frequently occur in crowd situations because of political decision making by the leaders who run police departments, and in this case it's Nancy Pelosi who is ultimately responsible for the failures of security that day. Very interesting. The FBI is shutting down the January 6 investigation because it has become clear that there were a dozen or so FBI agents involved with the couple small militia groups in the preplanning of the raid on the Capitol. So the FBI announced that the event was not preplanned by Trump or any of his people. So exactly who are the white supremacists at this point? The only person killed in the raid was a white unarmed woman who was killed by a black man. So Russia Russia Russia was fake, Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine was fake, January 6 January 6 January 6 was fake. And the media was party to all of it or actually an extension of the Democrat party in trying to make these things seem real. All investigations started in January have died because they only looked at right wing conservatives and found no evidence, they did not look at the left wing groups. Now that the FBI has announced publicly that the “insurgency” at the U.S. Capitol was a pre-planned attack. ALL MEMBERS of CONGRESS that took part In the sham impeachment 2.0, owe President Trump, his family, 75 million Patriots..& really All of America an apology. All of the vengeful, disgusting members of the news media & social media who took their lead from Pelosi & Congressional Democrats and stood before the world and lied about the events of that day should be charged & arrested. It's now known that the Capitol Police had prior knowledge of this planned attack, provided to them by the FBI in the days leading up to the Jan 6 event. Capitol Police appropriately notified the Congressional Sgt-at-Arms (who reports directly to Pelosi), and at that time the Capitol Police also requested National Guard presence. In fact, Capital Police asked Pelosi & Mayor Bowser a number of times to call up the National Guard for support and were turned down. Why????? Reportedly, Pelosi, the DC Mayor, Chuckie Schmucky Schumer and others thought the “OPTICS WOULD BE BAD." Pelosi & others apparently knew in advance of the “attack” and it appears that this “insurgence” and the tragic events that followed were used by Pelosi & others as just one more last-ditch attempt by DC Democrats to damage President Trump’s name & legacy!! We now know the reason Pelosi rushed with that phony impeachment before the facts had time to come out. The members of Congress who stood and said the most vile things imaginable in a public hearing about our President shows the world what despicable human beings some Americans can be. It was irresponsible of them to rush to judgement based on events that were engineered and used by Pelosi and other Democrats in Congress in an attempt to ruin someone's life. The DC Democrats have tried time & time again to get Donald Trump and bring him down. He has been forced to endure investigations that went on for months & months.. 2 impeachments based on “Fabricated evidence” along with unrelenting lies & other charges. Oh what have we here??

![]() Here are a couple points that I've made and I'll gladly share again with you... Imposter in Chief Dementia Joke Biden's far left agenda is failing in every corner of the world, and his dereliction of duties is as undeniable as ever!! From the total disaster at the southern border, to rising inflation, to rising gas prices and the rising crime rates all across the country, Joke Biden is failing on EVERY front!! In overseas the Biden Doctorin appears to be more interested in appeasing our enemies than it is for the American people, frankly it is an absolute disgrace. Remember, Biden began his presidency by killing jobs (the pipeline here at home), while he helped Putin with his pipeline thousands of miles away. Uncle Joe promised a safe withdrawal from Afghanistan and he claimed that there would be a plan in place for peace and stability and now the Taliban has taken over the country!! www.newsweek.com Can anyone name one single thing that Joke Biden has done to improve the lives of everyday Americans?? Impossible..Can you name one thing that Joke Biden has done to make our cities safer..NO. Can you name one thing that Joke Biden has done to improve our schools?..NO. To grow wages?..NO. To secure our border or protect our interests overseas?..NO!! He has done absolutely nothing. Let's begin in Afghanistan, 13 American Servicemen dead, Biden's strategy has failed and the Taliban has taken over the whole country!! Just a couple months ago Joke Biden told us that the Taliban could not take over Afghanistan. It was Sleepy Joe's brilliant decision to withdrawal all American forces by August 31st, top Pentagon brass wanted to keep US forces in Afghanistan but Chairman Joe overruled the Generals. Ridiculous, how could one person be so clueless, so delusional, so disconnected from reality? But then again this is Biden that we're talking about, and Sleepy Joe and the Democrats keep issuing weak statements and retreat to political platitudes. There was no plan to protect our local allies, or interpreters and those who stood and fought with us the last 20 years. There was no plan to protect Afghan women and girls, and minorities, and journalists, and those who stood against extremism publicly are now being hunted down along with their families. And there was no plan, most concerning for our fellow Americans!!! There was no plan to continue our counter terrorism. Now in the wake of the Taliban advance, we are going to see Al-Qaeda 3.0, they are going to be roaring back. You are going to see a repeat when Obama pulled out of Iraq far too soon, too quickly and irresponsibly and ISIS came surging in, we saw a caliphate the size of Indiana, we are going to see that again, but eventually our soldiers are going to have to go back and deal with it. This time we will have no bases and no local allies because they will have all been massacred and more blood will be on Joke Biden's hands. And how does this affect our credibility when we tell other countries "trust us." ? and now we abandoned them? How does this affect our credibility?? It kills our credibility, it's destroying our credibility around the world, particularly against other terrorists groups around the world when you have American diplomats saying, "Mother may I?" to terrorist groups, saying, "Please come back to the table." and it's shameful and it's humiliating. So as multiple crises escalate and that includes the humanitarian crisis at the southern border as Covid positive migrants continue to pour into our country, what has Dementia Joe been doing? Well he's traveling back and forth between Camp David, Washington DC, and Delaware. So has Joke Biden actually done one thing to improve this country??? FROM AFGHANISTAN COLLAPSE TO WIDE OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, BIDEN FLOUNDERS IN THE FACE OF CRISIS These are crises that if you took each one individually it can really destroy a presidency. 2/3 of Uncle Joe's sinking ratings are based on competent management of Corona Virus and unfortunately we're seeing all over the country there's gonna be all kinds of new problems with shutdowns and mandates and unhappy voters in America. So put all these issues together, we don't have peace overseas, prosperity is slipping through our fingers because of rising inflation and we have a President who can only focus on these things for a few hours a day at best, and it's a job where you have to work every moment of every day. So was there a State Department plan presented to Sleepy Joe regarding as to what would happen if he pulled out so quickly in Afghanistan? Not only does Chairman Joe seem incredibly callous as it relates to his response that they just keep repeating over and over again that he doesn't regret their decision, there doesn't seem to be a Plan B and all we see is a hasty, incompetent, badly and poorly planned, and embarrassing withdrawal. You can debate all you want about how long our presence needs to be there, but why did we withdraw during the middle of the fighting season? PLUS, the people who are in power right now in the Biden Administration are the same people that saw Benghazi happen, that saw an Ambassador killed by militants in Lybia on their watch!! Of course none of this mess should come as a surprise to anyone, because Joke Biden has been wrong on foreign policy for the last 40 years. This is the guy that drone bombed that killed a US aid worker with 7 kids, lied about it to the world and the American people and then because the press outed them, they had to say, "Oh, sorry about that." This is the administration who put the Taliban in charge of Americans. So is it the dislike and hatred for Donald Trump as to why the Democrats are failing the southern border? They don't want to acknowledge that President Trump’s policy worked and therefore they're on the road to disaster. Actually because of the identity politics of this new Socialist Democratic party, they view it in their political interest to bring this uncertainty into our society with illegal immigration, they think that the numbers with these voters are going to be with them in the future and so it's a very cynical ploy. But the Democrats don't realize what they're doing, they're literally breaking the backs of the communities that are along the border, and the border protection officers and we're seeing Democrat communities vote for Republicans because Socialism never works for anybody, and an open border never helps any community on the border. We have had almost 2 million encounters at the southern border since Uncle Joe has been President, many with Covid. We have fentynal coming across the border in record numbers with almost 100,000 overdose deaths, trafficking is up. We've had more than 20 border agents die of Covid from people that have come over that border. Dementia Joe took a secure border and made it the most out of control border that we've ever seen. This border has become a disaster in the short time since the Imposter in Chief has been inserted into The White House. The left wing media does not want to focus on what is affecting everyone in this country, the illegal migration of illegal aliens. On one hand they talk about vaccines and masking up and then we're having tens of thousands of these people cross the border with Covid!! The residents all across the border towns are frustrated and seeing a rise in Covid, their resources are strained and there are 400 border patrol agents who are at home with Covid related illnesses. Others have passed away and let's talk about the humanitarian crisis, if Joke Biden really cares about the people who are coming in here, then he'll stop this because those people who are coming across the border are being trafficked by human traffickers, drug cartels, they're being exploited, they are dying themselves obtaining Covid. So what we're seeing is a devastating situation on the border as Sleepy Joe has been derelict at his duties. If you're a European you have to have a vaccine before you come into the United States, if you're an American citizen traveling abroad, you have to get a Covid test before you come back to The United States, but if you're an illegal immigrant you don't have to have any of that and we'll give you a hotel, free transportation and you'll probably get a Green Card and a pathway to citizenship from the Democrats. So it's a pretty good deal if you just skirt our laws and cut in front of the line of everybody else in the world who possibly has a valid asylum claim to our country. TRUMP 2O24!!! 🇺🇲👱♂️🇺🇲 MAGAA - Make America Great Again, Again!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 LET'S GO BRANDON!!! 🤡🍦🤡 |

Like I said in my original post, "I want a logical, reasoned argument, based on reliable and accessible data, rather than shouting slogans, accusations or insults." Insinuations and extravagant extrapolations don't count. Also, arguments in the form of "Why isn't anyone asking these questions?" are not arguments; they are demonstrations that the questioner lack the answer himself, or he wouldn't be asking.

![]() 1. "UPWARDS OF 2 million illegal immigrants crossing the border"? Over what period of time? If you can give a credible source for this figure of illegal immigrants during Biden's time in office, I'll pay attention. Or is that the number who have crossed the border over the last 20 years, in which case why blame Biden? 2. "Soaring fuel prices"? Yes, and that's happening all around the world. Why blame Biden? If anything, blame the Climate Change Deniers for not weaning America off fossil fuels over the last twenty years. 3. "Afghan debacle". I agree! Bush (a Republican President) should never have gone in. Obama ( a Democrat President) failed to get out. Trump (a Republican President) promised to get out, but chose to kick the can down the road rather than actually doing it. Plenty of blame to go around. Biden at least had the gonads to do it. 4. Millions of people walking off the workforce"? Do you mean millions of people who gave up on looking for a job under Trump, who are now registering as 'unemployed' because they finally have some hope again? That shows up in the stats as a leap in nominal unemployment, but it is a statistical artefact of a sudden increase in participation rates. If you look at the data on ACTUAL MANHOURS WORKED, you will see that employment has actually increased. 5. "the supply chain stalled and dozens and dozens of ocean barges just sitting there waiting to be unloaded." Indeed. That's what happens in a pandemic. Reserves have been run down, the supply chain has backed up like someone who continues to eat but is constipated. Everything backs up! Once the economy starts to pick up the old Law of Supply and Demand takes over; everyone wants to buy, but unloading is the choke point. That's Capitalism for you! 6. "Shootings up 50%, Murder rates up 35%" Over what period of time? Compared to what base? Let's look at murder and shooting rates over the last 10 years to see if there is a significant change in the last nine months. 7. "Killing jobs in the energy industries." Sources, please. Let's have some context, both historical and economic. Jobs in coal mining, for example, have been declining for decades. Jobs in electricity generation could be greatly increased if the transition to renewables were accelerated. 8. "President Brandon stopped the Keystone Pipeline, thousands lost jobs." (I assume you meant 'President Biden', but made a typo.) Yes, because that will soon be what is termed a 'stranded asset'. It will never repay the cost of building it, so the sooner it is stopped, the less money will be lost, and the less the big banks will screw mum-and-dad borrowers to make up their losses. Those jobs and more would be created in a faster transition to renewables. Now, don't be discouraged, Rider. Your case doesn't stand up, but that's not your fault. You argued it quite well, considering you were given the hopeless end of the debate. Problem was, the data you chose (and I congratulate you on that step!) was lacking in context. That makes it look like cherry-picking. Keep trying, and get good data to back up your claims. Most of all, choose more carefully which side you will support. Arguing on the side of facts is much easier than arguing on the side of stupidity. |

![]() 1. Bidens's Border Crisis - Washington Post reports more than 1.7 million detained and arrested, and that's just the ones they know of, try throwing in hundreds of thousands more that weren't documented. This is since Joke Biden was inserted into The White House in January. www.washingtonpost.com 2. Do you think that just maybe since Dementia Joe's executive orders to decrease our nation's oil and gas industries production and make us more dependent on oil from other countries has anything to do with rising fuel prices?? I'm so relieved that Sleepy Joe shut down a clean pipeline so we can buy oil from the non-regulated Middle East and have it transported by thousands of huge gas guzzling tankers that dump their oily bilge into the ocean. Science, right? abcnews.go.com thehill.com If your house has power & is nice and warm this evening, you can thank the oil, coal and gas industries. 3. Afghan Debacle - Yes, Biden had the gonads to withdrawal our troops & I don't have a problem with that, but for crying out loud if we're going to leave let's by all means get the Americans and any allies out first, secure and remove the weapons cache so the Taliban doesn't have access to them. My God, what Commander in Chief would ever pull out of a war zone and leave American citizens to fend for themselves behind enemy lines after top military advisors warned against such incompetent actions????? Genius!!! Either Dementia Joe lied (big surprise there), or his Dementia was acting up and he "misremembered" what his top military advisors told him, but Sleepy Joe said no one warned him NOT to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Looks like his gonads are between his ears. www.politico.com 4. You Asked...<Do you mean millions of people who gave up on looking for a job under Trump, who are now registering as 'unemployed' because they finally have some hope again?> It was before Trump when people quit looking for jobs... www.cnbc.com Before Covid the unemployment rate under Trump was at a 50 year low 3.5% www.bbc.com So no, I don't mean millions of people who gave up looking for jobs under Trump, because there weren't any, unemployment was at a 50 year low under Trump. I mean under Brandon's Administration millions of people are walking off the job...over 4 million this past August alone!!! www.marketplace.org 5. Supply Chain Crisis - Again, people are walking off the job under this Administration, it's not a matter of supplies not being available, it's a matter of workers leaving the workforce under Uncle Joe's incompetent administration. abcnews.go.com 6. Shootings / Crime - Democrats across the country spent the last year defunding police departments, so they shouldn't be surprised when voters hold them responsible for the spike in violent crime... www.npr.org In a study of 24 major cities, homicides increased by 24% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same time period in 2020 and by 49% from that period in 2019 www.cbsnews.com 7. Day 1 of Dementia Joe's time in Office he immediately killed the Keystone Pipeline causing thousands of jobs to be lost... apnews.com thehill.com 8. President Brandon - Yes, I meant "President Brandon" and since you are on the complete opposite side of the planet but sooooooo worried about what's going on 24 hour time difference away, you probably didn't get the Brandon reference so I'll fill you in... When the NCAA College Football season kicked off this year, in stadiums all over the country a popular chant broke out among the stadium filled crowds. However, the popular chant wasn't limited to football stadiums only as other venues such as baseball, NASCAR, etc. were all yelling the same chant. Anyway at a NASCAR track recently, the driver who won the race was named Brandon, and as he was being interviewed by the lady reporter you can clearly hear the crowd in the background chanting and the lady reporter says, "You can hear the chants from the crowd, Let's Go Brandon!!" Look it up on YouTube - Let’s Go Brandon NASCAR So now there is a new political movement that goes LET'S GO BRANDON!!! And people are also referring to Joke Biden as President Brandon and for good reason. TRUMP 2O24!!! 🇺🇲👱♂️🇺🇲 MAGAA - Make America Great Again, Again!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 LET'S GO BRANDON!!! 🤡🍦🤡 LET'S GO BRANDON |
