The phrase "I could care less" has no meaning in the situations where it's most commonly used. "I couldn't care less" however, will sometimes be perceived as clever, even cool, but you have to learn to say it properly.

Also, don't say things like "I could of sworn...", "I should of stayed home" etc. It makes you appear very, very dumb.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in the runup to Gulf War II, and George Bush knew or should have known it. The weapons of mass destruction were used to mislead the American people to support the invasion of Iraq, which George Bush and co. wanted for other reasons.

It is irresponsible for the US to classify SUVs as light trucks for fuel efficiency regulation purposes. It would be in the US interest to tighten SUV regulations to lessen dependency on foreign oil, as well as to lessen greenhouse emissions.

The consensus among climate scientists are that global warming is real, and that it is caused by humans with a high probability.

The US oil industry has in the past tried to influence the global warming debate with unethical means, including a widely-publicised and influential declaration signed by 100 'respected scientists'. On closer inspection in a Danish documentary the 'respected scientists' turned out to be people like a fx a weatherman with no formal education and absolutely no claim to being a 'respected scientist'.
