"Crooked Teeth" - Death Cab for Cutie
  I find philosophy to be ultimately agitating and a complete and utter waste of time. I think that it probably ranks rather high in my list of worthless shit that happens to exist in this world today.

Now, let me clarify that I also think that people who don't have philosophical thoughts from time to time might as well drown themselves now to save themselves from the humiliation that is their own existence. I think that it is appalling that some people don't even stop to be interested in the state of the Universe whatever that state might be. This is not to say that everyone must carry a thesis of personal philosophy in their back pocket just waiting to be whipped out and compared, but it is to say that if you don't even wonder, then you might as well just die.

But philosophy as an occupation, or, in modern speech, also known as 'a bum's way to seem educated but is really a stupid cunt who has no potential in life other than to be a stupid cunt who pretends to be educated,' is meaningless, unproductive, and ultimately useless. Will someone tell me the last time a philosopher, a pure philosopher who absolutely does not deal with anything other than philosophy, ever made a difference in the course of history?

And whatsmore, have you ever met a so-called 'philosopher' in our own time that hasn't been completely useless in contributing anything other than philosophy books that no one buys to society?

Philosophy cannot be proved. If it can be proved, then it is called science.

Do you see the difference?

Philosophy: a way for dimwits to appear educated.

Science: a way for actually educated people to appear educated.

Metaphysics: a treehugger's way to secretly lobby for the rainforest.

But what I hate even more than just philosophers are teenagers trying to act 'deep' when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

If you want to argue against Christianity, go read the Bible, the Apologetics, Ambrose, Augustine, and Aquinas (wow they all start with 'a,' I've never noticed that) before trying to pick a fight about it. Want to argue communism? Read Kant, Engels, and Marx before even thinking you know the first thing about it. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Spinoza just for good measure.

And don't even get me started on feminism.

I don't care what your own fucking opinion is about religion until you've actually done some research. Me listening to kids ramble about the evils of the government and churches is like me talking to a toddler about car repair.

Fucking idiots. Just go die already.
