So, dear Escapist Community, have you ever had a time when you just laughed at someone's lack of knowledge/misconceptions? Or did you do something more then just laugh?
It [Stupid People] is a endless source of entertainment for me.

I have a really clueless aquaintance.

He speaks only in absolutes unherited from his parents and teachers.

He is way too narrow minded on every subject to apply these absolutes appropriately.

Therefore he throws about blanket statements about everything that simply do not apply, because not everything is black and white and he can't seem to think for himself.

So a stand there smiling, and I try my best to get through to him but it's hard.

Every time someone is afraid of 2012 or something like that I like to imagine how ridiculous they'll feel afterwards.

This thread is just asking if you ever had an experience where you knew more/better then someone who was talking about a certain subject?

For example, I'm a DJ at an Oldies station, so I hear lots of songs from the 80s, 70s, 60's, and sometimes even the 50s (their few but most are pretty good). I notice that while a few are quiet excellent in their own rights, there are many that have sexual innuendos and meanings in them. Also, it seems I'll play for 10 minutes straight songs that are nothing else but about Some Girl and how Great she is, how the singer wants to Hold Her All Night, Love Her All Day, etc.
I find this funny, because many of the older and middle age gents and madams I know will usually complain about how today's music is all about sex and how everyone is the same thing but with a different singer. When they do say this, I just simply smile and shake my head at people's misconceptions.

So, dear Escapist Community, have you ever had a time when you just laughed at someone's lack of knowledge/misconceptions? Or did you do something more then just laugh?
Actually, I find I know much more about politics, the wars of recent history, and books (like, really really long books :p) than anyone I know.
I doubt you do, but I bet you are more willing to bore others with your opinions!

Love the 'really, really long books'! Makes you sound about 12!

I do it all the time because I get a vast amount of idiots having a go at me day by day. They try to put me down for being a Juggalo when they can't comprehend what being one is about. I just put my hand on my forehead and sigh at every single one of them.

Every time I hear someone shoot off about how great Obama is, and how much he has done for our country.

When in all honesty, he has done fuck all of nothing.

He DID have a tea party with the queen though!
*Bites lip* Going to let this one fly...

Anytime somebody says something about how bad police are I am tempted to beat the stupid out of them with common sense.

Its true he has done jack all except drink with the queen
Being fair, he hasn't been President too long. So I tend to ignore anyone who says either that he's done so much or destroyed the country.

And at least there's Cash for Clunkers. That's a start.
True, and he has a lot of peruser if he cocks up its going to be a massive shit storm.

No, I just have the urge to beat them in the face for such ignorance. I'm not ready to pass that off as lols yet.

Oh all the time! Smug satisfaction is one of my favourite emotions and I just love the feeling of being better, smarter, wiser etc. than the person I'm talking to. I get this feeling most often reading the comments for the Onion's videos on YouTube where more than half of the people seem to take it seriously.

Actually that is not an entirely inaccurate statement. I don't really believe that his policy is really a good one, that being "throw money at a problem until it goes away" however that doesn't really work. It just exchanges the current problem with a horrid defecit problem, as we have already seen. This applies to the healthcare reform, which as much as it might help those in need, it is not the kind of thing that America needs nor is suited for at this time; as well as the trillions of dollars of bailout money that didn't even work, and to a lesser extent the cash for clunkers program, which doesn't look like it is working very well from the news I am watching. What America really needs is economic reform, however I don't mean socialism. I am talking more about enticing small business to employ new workers and penalizing companies that move jobs out of the country.

I wasn't going for throats about how he really hasn't done much... how could he? Not even one year in with half the country already soaking their torches and cleaning their pitchforks. I was going to say something about how people thinks he's all about Socialism. But I didn't because I don't want to stir the flames and screw over this thread.

I used to be the vice-president of the debate club ( I was suppose to be president) at my school.
It was natural for me to win debates in every possible outcomes.

I remember one time we had the subject of clones. My teammates didn't care much about it. One of them hoped for armies of clones. I shut him up by saying "this is not StarWars". Beleive it or not, I won that debate.

When I hear people talking as they walk by, sometimes I want to correct them because what they think is completely wrong. I never butt in, though. I let them figure out what the truth is.
I butt in on conversations like that all the time, but only if they're in a line or something right behind or in front of me. Or just having their conversation right next to me while not going anywhere.

Cracked.com did a list of songs from your grandpa's age that would make Eminem blush.

ANd these aren't Innuendos, they're straight fucking crazy sex shit.

http://www.cracked.com/article_17625_songs-from-your-grandpas-day-that-would-make-eminem-blush.html

I can't even post the lyrics on this forum for fear of getting banned. Just take a look at it.

Your going to "let it fly" because you have nothing to argue it with.

And that went bankrupt about one week into it.

Not going to say anything for one reason, I don't want to ruin a thread with useless politics banter. True he hasn't done much, but there is no reason for people to be throwing up posters with "Why so Socialist" on it.... for the same reason your giving. He's done nothing the warrant it.

I'm not the one doing it.
I simply stated a fact, you know nothing about me.
