Someone posted in another thread that much advice given by older people is irrelevant today because the advice "just doesn't make sense anymore."

What things that use to be accepted at face value don't make sense anymore from your perspective?

A conversation a friend of mine had with her grandmother:

Grandmother: "You should become a nurse, so you can marry a doctor."
Friend: "Why don't I just become a doctor myself?"
Grandmother: "Sure, that's a good way to meet a doctor too!"

LOL! Sounds similar to the "reasoning" my step-mother used when I was getting ready to adopt my ex's 3 children from her first marraige ... "You don't need to get the girls' names changed. They're just going to get married and have them changed to their husband's name anyway!" :)

If winners never quit, and quitters never win, then why do they say quit while you're ahead?

Makes no sense to me :confused:

Makes no sense to me :confused: "He who hesitates is lost," yet "Fools rush in where Angles fear to tread."

Putting Christians on pikes and lighting them on fire used to be all the rage and it would appear that I can no longer own a black man (well, except in Mississippi).

Ah well.

My mom always says that I should get married to some rich guy so that HE can take care of me. This is the year 2005, fuck women almost make as much as men I can take care of myself.

Don't use a knife at night. (Last time no lights, except candle light)

Don't bathe at night. (Last time no water heater)

Watching too much tv would make you melt.

Finish all your food on the plate because there's starving people somewhere else in the world (*doesn't quite make sense though*)
