It would appear that we have a 5 way tie in the IFC Season 1 Round 30 contest "The Most Important Issue."
Congratulations to my fellow IFC warriors and tie mates ,
,
and
For the tie-breaker our fearless leader has asked us to write about what we think the most important quality in a person is. When I think about the finer qualities in people the first things that come to mind are Integrity, Kindness and Confidence. Although the one quality that I believe everyone should have but unfortunately not everyone does is:
SEMI-INTELLIGENCE
That's right, not full blown intelligence but semi-intelligence. I don't need everyone to be a fucking Einstein, Da Vinci or Hawking (notably all passed from natural causes and NOT from walking in front of buses) but some basic common sense from EVERYONE would be awesome.
Not a day goes by it seems where I don't come into contact with one of my fellow human beings and think to myself "How are you still alive?", "How have you not walked in front of a bus?" From pushing a baby stroller through a busy parking lot while texting to stacking chairs to climb to a high spot in order to save time on pulling out the ladder, I have seen it all.
Just a few days ago while driving on a highway in South Dakota U.S. I saw a family of five pulled off on the side of the highway. The patriarch of the family was attempting to take a full family selfie with some of South Dakotas' finest scenery in the background. All in all not too horrible of an idea except for the fact that the aforementioned scenery was on the OTHER side of the road and he was inching his family out onto the highway to get that perfect shot. I had to slow down and beep my horn to avoid hitting them. I mean seriously Pa, if you're trying to take your family on the next big adventure to another plane of existence go drive off of a steep cliff and keep the rest of us out of it, ok?
Just two short days after almost introducing the Father of the Year, his wife and three progeny to their creator I pulled into a parking spot at a campground store front. Next to me on the drivers side was a mid size sedan and next to the sedan was an SUV. All of us had to plenty of space to open doors on either side but upon returning to my truck I found this...
Now I'm not saying this guy is stupid but... A semi-intelligent human being would never have parked a tiny little car like this so close to a behemoth of a truck like mine.
If you or someone you know is anything less than a semi-intelligent human being it is not my intent to offend you (not that I could cause you're probably to stupid anyway). Although if I have managed to offend you I apologize. After all we are all on this big rock together, this place called Planet Home, so let's make the best of it.
Live your life with INTEGRITY, always show KINDNESS to others, have CONFIDENCE in yourself and most importantly... Don't be a dumbass!

Good luck to my fellow IFC Warriors and keep posting on!
