    Default These things I believe

    No evidence necessary, just things you're convinced of:

    The kind of people most likely to go to high school reunions are the kind of people who still live within ten miles of their high school.

    The more outspoken someone is against gay rights, the more likely it is that they're in the closet. This goes double for politicians.

    If your customary Facebook profile pic is a photo of your kid, you've gained a lot of weight since high school.

    Any popular press article on science is going to be at least 50% wrong.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.

    The most obnoxious fans at ballparks are the ones that have heard how tough you are suppose to be on opposing fans and not the actual fans. (Well except in Philly, they really are that rotten.)

    Not only correct, but possibly generous.

    No one who tells you that they always tell the truth can be trusted.

    Nor people who are honest enough to admit that they lie.

    People who "accidentally" blurt racist comments are simply racists. You don't accidentally use a word not in your regular vernacular.

    If you get angry and call someone a "fucking faggot", it doesn't matter if you didn't mean it "literally" or not.

    ^^^ Hell, if you DIDN'T mean it literally, and "faggot" is just the first epithet that comes to your lips, that's almost more damning.

    Anyone who tells you they are a "good Christian", is not to be trusted.

    Ditto anyone who tells you they are Mensa members. Both should be understood.

    People who make a point of telling you they never watch TV, watch a lot of TV.

    Or in other words: people who say they don't even HAVE a TV are watching a shit-ton of Hulu and Netflix.

    People who've never had children have the strongest opinions as to how it should be done.

    Someone who's a jerk to a waitress or while driving is almost certainly a jerk in other ways.

    If you pay nothing for a good or a service, you will value it less than if you pay even a little.

    People fervently espouse ideas and ideologies online that they probably would never claim to hold in any real life, public situation.

    As Dave Barry put it, "Someone who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person."

    For some reason, crunchy-type parents of young children who spend a lot of time on the internet are guilty of this. Any screen time that is spent on the internet gets the stamp of approval, even if it's the same show or movie originally seen on TV.

    Crunchy Granola type parents. A little on the new-age side and will try to shop for organic foods and may be vegetarian, etc.
