Yes. The belief that: "Life sucks. Deal with it." is on par with the concepts of Plato, Socrates, and even Descartes annoys the hell out of me.
A stubborn idiot says: I never change my political beliefs on anything, no matter what new evidence might be presented to me. A wise and reasonable man says: I change my opion on subjects as new evidence is presented. A strong leader says: I never change my political beliefs on anything, no matter

ARGH!!! *pounds head into wall until bloodied and bruised* These aren't philosophies! Take a philosophy class, philosophy is so much more than a simple code of freaking ethics or some little semi-witty remark about the world!!! *pounds head some more because it was pleasing in a sadist manner*

The Golden Rule, essentially. "Do unto others as they would do unto you, but do it first" is a fun one though.
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. Frederick Douglass
