    Hard men create easy times.

    Easy times create soft men.

    Soft men create hard times.

    Hard times create hard men.

      More cheese => more holes.

      More holes => less cheese.

      Therefore: More cheese => Less cheese

        actually it ought to be:

        More holes => more cheese

        and subsequently:

        More cheese => more cheese.

        Tautology at it’s best

      One thing I never understood about that nonsense quote is why it would be a bad thing even if it were true. Like, who the heck wants people to be “hard” or have hard times? What’s so awful about people having easy times and getting to relax and enjoy life?

      It’s also usually used by “back in my day” bigots who are usually using it to complain about people they don’t like and quite frequently LGBT people, because they think that their generation pushing people into the closet was somehow a good thing (or that it meant LGBT people didn’t exist).
