Money Walks, While Bullshit Talks
Guest Post by Dennis Miller at Miller On The Money
My early youth was spent in the inner city of Chicago, a sorry place today. Little boys, talking dirty, thought they were macho, but you’d get your mouth washed out with soap if you uttered those words around girls or your parents. Times have changed.
Rolls off the Tongue defines the old saying, Money Talks, while Bullshit Walks:
“Sample Sentence: If you want to buy my car, you have to give me a deposit now, I won’t accept your promise to pay me next week; ‘money talks, bullshit walks!'”
Psychology Today explains:
“What is bullshit exactly? …. It has been defined as ‘communications that result from little to no concern for truth, evidence, logical or empirical knowledge.’
…. Bullshitting is…constructed to appear meaningful, though on closer examination, it isn’t. …. Bullshitters aren’t concerned about what’s true or not, …. as they’re trying to appear as if they know what they’re talking about.
…. Bullshitting tends to happen when there’s social pressure to provide an opinion and a social ‘pass’ that will allow someone to get away with it.
…. Such conditions were present …. where people felt entitled, if not obligated, to offer ‘opinions about everything,’ and politics in particular, and where objective reality was often denied in favor of voicing impassioned personal opinions.
…. Experts from Queen’s University summed it up this way:
“…. public life provides abundant opportunities to bullshit and lie on a scale we could have scarcely credited 30 years ago.'”
Politicians, attempting to justify stupid and unpopular behavior, have turned BS into an art form, hoping the voters will give them a “pass.”
Please…what was the point?
Hi,
The point I was trying to make is despite the political bullshit, a lot of people are no longer buying it…and it shows.

Maybe the purpose of flooding the immis in, is to cover up both the poki death pop losses, and the mass exodus from Lefturdian locales.
