Not so much if you're a brown.
A whole bunch if you're one of the lazy.

It's all a matter of perspective.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

Hit.

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

Yeah, so I just called the IRS hotline with a question.  They put me on hold for less time than Cavalier did, and the dude who they connected me to understood my question and answered, which is more than can be said for most corporate customer service centers.  He even offered to send me a hard copy of the rules in question after he cited them.

Yeah but the gubment was monitoring your phone call while plotting ways to have you waterboarded about stuff you know...

All the while trying to figure out a way to force you to except Jeebus as your savior... Heathen!

Doesn't the fact that one might need to call for tech support on their taxes, and that we have to pay someone to sit there and wait for the question count in the "con" column?
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.
