shut the fuck up

A lot of people ask me, "clavus,should I shut the fuck up?" To clear up
any confusion, and avoid hurt feelings, I created this handy list of people
who should, without delay, shut the fuck up. Feel free to print this list and
save it for future reference.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are an executive who makes over $1,000,000 per year, and you want the tax-payers to bail out your poorly-run company, shut the fuck up. You are clearly missing at least one obvious place to cut expenses.

If you are “allegedly the voice of” any deposed third-world terrorist shithead,
shut the fuck up.

If you profess to be against irradiated food, and you own a microwave oven,
shut the fuck up.

If you think there is a good reason for Daylight Savings Time, shut the fuck up.

If you drive a car that gets less than 20 miles per gallon, and you complain about gasoline prices, shut the fuck up.

If you feel that yelling at me is the best way to get me to change my mind and sign your stupid petition, shut the fuck up.

If you are Mike Tyson, shut the fuck up.

If you promote “family values” and have a divorce, illegitimate kids, or a fondness for underage prostitutes, shut the fuck up.

If you think Creed rocks, shut the fuck up.

If you feel the urge to discuss the British Royal Family, shut the fuck up.

If you think that I’m a Democrat just because I don’t like George W. Bush,
shut the fuck up.

If you are “glad that Iraq started a guerrilla war,” shut the fuck up and
apologize to the friends and family of every single person who died in that
festering ass-zit of a country since the war “ended.”

If I can hear you talk at the movies, shut the fuck up.

If you think I care about baseball, shut the fuck up.

If you feel the urge to legislate what people do with their genitals, shut the
fuck up.

If you complain about the government, but don’t vote, shut the fuck up.

If you are an American who wears Doc Martens while protesting “globalization”, shut the fuck up.

If you are against genetically modified crops, and haven’t passed at least
one year of college-level bio-science, shut the fuck up.

If you begin a sentence with, “Long time listener, first time caller,” shut
the fuck up

If you can not pass 6th grade science, you are not qualified to have opinions about scientific issues. You CAN have opinions. You just aren't qualified to have them; so keep them to yourself.

Personally, I would have written "If you ARE the government, shut the fuck up." But that would have cut your list in half.

There hasn't even been hundreds of allied casualties since the war ended let alone Iraqi casualties.

That was great.

A few more of my own:

If every one of your discussions about politics ends with name calling, shut the fuck up.

If you feel the need to stop me on my way into class to tell me about your latest governmental conspiracy theory and I've never seen you before, shut the fuck up.

If you are riding in my car and have nearly had your license suspended multiple times but still feel the need to comment on my driving, shut the fuck up.

Hmmm...after further consideration - If your job requires that you drive a truck or SUV, you get a pass on this one. I was thinking about my Dodge Durango- driving Mother-in-Law when I wrote this. It could be argued that she needs an SUV to haul her enormous ass, but that's another rant all together.

I would add, "If you even have the nerve to drive an SUV and you don't live in Montana, then shut the fuck up and get a car that people can see around in traffic, damn it!"

Quite right! How could I forget that one?

Here's another to add to the list -

If you think Jesus wrote the Bible in Olde English, STFU.

As usual you have done a fine, smart and funny contribution to TFP.
I always look forward to your posts.

My only contribution to the rant is:
If you have never had to survive on Adult Public Assistance or food stamps and seem to feel the urge to tell people how comfy life is for people who have to...shut the fuck up.

"If every one of your discussions about politics ends with name calling, shut the fuck up."


change "every one" to "any" and this idea is perfect.



my addition: If you feel the need to denigrate all college educated people as being "book smart - street stupid" fools, then to you I suggest an intensive study of the Manual of How to Shut the Fuck up. If you can even read, that is.

If you are canadian... shut the fuck up.

If you say that it is someone else's fault that you are fat, and they did not surgically inject you with lard... shut the fuck up.

If you are an ignorant fuck, shut the fuck up.

If you have poor grammar, please, for the love of god, don't post. In fact, don't write in any publically-available medium. Oh and, shut the fuck up!

If you have a heavy accent, stop speaking your fucking native language for a few years until it clears up if you ever expect to get any respect... or shut the fuck up!
