i could easily go through each and every one of these (except the al bundy one) and tell you why it's stupid and unwise.

Life is like a pubic hair on a toilet seat, sooner or later you're bound to get pissed off.
--pubic hair on toilets gets pissed on, not pissed off. if anything, it gets pissed down, since getting pissed on forces it down the drain.
Making one post instead of two is always the better way to go
--then the message board would have one post per member, who each constantly click the edit post button to add content
Never trust a German
--while from a past of violence, germans do have integrity. it is the canadian who cannot be trusted or relied upon.
"You got much more to live for than to die for
But you got to stay humble
Cause just as hard as your work to get it
There's people working harder to take it from you
Cause life, something that people take for granted
As time passes, you're gonna want something back
But you won't get it cause history is made every second
So you crave every lesson and save every blessin'
No matter how you view the world yo, you never will get it
The world will be the world through the eyes of whoever is in it
But things ain't gonna always go right
Look at it like, yo this ain't your day, but this your life, and live

--quoting lyrics from a substantially mediocre rapper inspires no one. in fact, nothing in this verse rhymed, so why not just quote some random part of the encyclopedia britannica?
Winners make things happen/loosers let things happen.
--i hate people who are too loose, don't you? LOSERS did not excel in the constraining rules, but that doesn't mean that in a parallel contest with different rules they couldn't have won. example: you're a decent poster on this board, while lilshortie is not. if the subject matter of the board were switched to discussing the intricacies and subtle nuances of playing simon says, she would clearly be admin. side note, if winners make victory happen, losers also made defeat.
Don't do heroin.
--no, don't get addicted to herion. one should avail themselves to fun and enjoyment. only a sucker gets addicted.
we hit em up
--no, we streethop. we used to hit em up.
Once apon a time, not long ago
there was a man named edub that had the flow
--your rhyme flow is weak like erimakaveli rhyming to rahim's ring tones.
Don't get mad. Don't get even. Get ahead.
--the three are unrelated. i can get ahead just fine either mad or not, and vengenance is unreleated to the success of getting ahead. i'd rather: "don't get mad, get even, then get ahead" if anything.
Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
--very few people are at my level and therefore do not command or warrant the reverence as i. in fact, extending to them such courtesy is an insult to my own greatness.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
--unless keif and mick were buried in a shallow grave (it is not necessary that they face north).
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
--don't fall in the first place. have some foresight and an ounce of caution. likewise, sometimes concessions are prudent .
Life is like a dick, when its hard you get fucked, and when its soft you cant beat it
--how can life be soft? isn't life hard AFTER you get "fucked?" piss poor.
Drop knowledge not bombs
--because explaining how the concept of dark matter further supports the big bang theory to the palestinians will really make them stop.
He who makes a beast of himself relieves the pain of being a man
--so i act like a monkey and i don't have the worries of my bills? i suppose so, when they lock me in a padded room and i consume my weight in atavan every day
If hurt...remember: pain is only temporary no matter how long it lasts
--contracdictory. if pain lasts until death, while temporary from your vantage point it lasted forever from mine. even if pain is overcome, the fact that it is in memory via recall or scar preserves it beyond the short term
A lie is not a lie if you believe in it
--it's still a lie by definition because the event or fact the lie relies upon are not reality.
the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary
--it also comes before work in a thesaurus and in beverly hills
If you can only process wisdom in single-sentence doses, you're probably in trouble.
--if you can process wisdom in a single sentence instead of having some numbnut blather on for an hour about a single concept then you are most certainly not in trouble
if you treat a person as he is, he will stay as he is, but if you treat him as he could be, he will become wut he should be
--so if i put a crown on a pile of shit it becomes a prince? i think not
Beware the fury of the patient man.
--patient people do underhanded things, but i would more readily fear the unpredictable lashing out by the impulsive nutjob
Everything happens for a reason.
--naive. nature is in a constant spiral toward chaos, and trying to pinpoint a logical explanation for everything assigns meaning where there is none.
Go and study philosophy
--and be a broke ass your entire life.
One trouble never comes alone...
--so you're saying a singular trouble is impossible? i blow up the world and everyone dies - tell me how in hell you're going to experience any other troubles?
Trust your brain...It knows more than you do.
--my brain knew nothing but primitive automatic functions of preservation. the measurable knowledge it has learned i am responsible for, and therefore my brain cannot outsmart me (itself).
pain is allowed, suffering forbidden
--according to who? who is making these rules? what if my suffering is not nerve sensed pain so much as the angst of reading people's pitiful and half assed attempts at wisdom? it's not forbidden on the forum rules, though the mental anguish is substantial.

but don't you see? these are slogans not wisdom. saying some colloquialism is wisdom is like saying "just do it" is inspirational and deep.killahill187um said:
dante makes a good point about this "wisdom."
the quotes in this thread sound more like the thoughts of a girl in her late teens rather than wisdom.

To be honest my winners make things happen/loosers let things happen line of wisdom was just something i herd Evander holyfield once say.
well it obviously makes sense. losers are the people who never take initiative, who get everything served on a platter, and so forth. winners are people who take initiative, who go "out there" and "do shit," and so forth.
if it's not a universal truth, it cannot be called wisdom. however, it applies to many situations. you're not meant to read it literally, but either way, wisdom it is not

It is always a smart idea to keep a few pairs of latex gloves in your car just in case.
There's no argument there.

There's nothing funnier than a friend's story of a seduction attempt involving whipping his junk out.

I like how you contradict everything out of the context it was meant. Maybe what your really trying to say is "everything can be contradicted". This would be a good contribution to this thread rather than trying to disprove every comment made.
Being a philosophy graduate doesn't make you a 'broke ass', thats an entirely materialistic point of view that you would find in Loyal to the game.
There is a wealth of wisdom to be found in philosophy, and this is called staying on topic.
I can name one philosophy major, who studied at the University of Washington and went on to become one of Asia's biggest stars.
Your statement, I regret to announce, is flawed.
i can tell you the story about how a broke young kid from the streets of oakland went on to become one of the most high-profiled rap legends in the history of the genre. that doesn't mean that every african-american in oakland who raps is gonna do the same. your asian star is one in two-four billion.Yeshua said:
dante's contradictions may not be 100% on point but that doesn't mean he's wrong when he's saying this is not wisdom. and gl hf with your career as a philosopher, lol.
