It's kind of ironic really... A lot of people in Hawaii, especially those who haven't travelled out of state, WANT to see snow because we never get it here. I've been out of state a few times but it was years ago and it was during Summer.H31neken said:
Besides, I'm a real indoor person and don't really like going outside. There are a lot of people like me who just stay inside and use the interwebz or play video games instead of going to the beach every day, even though conveniently where I live, it's rather close to my house. I don't exactly make use/take advantage of the things we have here that often, I wouldn't really like living out on the beach like that...
There's no snow here with the sole exception of maybe some of the taller mountains, in winter, on very specific days that probably won't come very often at all. Only very recently was the time I heard that part of the mountain was covered in snow and not just snowing there. Dammit, I want to see snow IRL! And yes, ironic isn't it that my username has "Ice" in it, yet I live in Hawaii, a year-round tropical climate, and have never even seen snow in person. Even so, the cold is usually what I'd define myself as and tends to be my a favorite element.
That only poor people ride a bus.
The recent blaming of every bad thing that happens when "the youth" get together in groups of 3 or more on flash mobs.
That the only thing men think about is sex or posturing in order to have sex.
That tattoos automatically make you a criminal.
That long hair is only for girls.
That game design is not a worthwhile pursuit.
...And now I'm getting pseudo-philosophical at one in the morning... not good.

I wonder if you read just as much Cracked.com as I do, but yeah, seriously, we've been lied to yet again in history class. Nikola Tesla was awesome. Edison, not so much...the spud said:

I guess the misconceptions that bother me the most are the whole "Gamers are anti-social losers" and "Atheists have no morals". Me liking video games has nothing to with me being anti-social, it's because everyone seems to think I have no morals.
That theory is just something that COULD be true. NO NO NO!! Theory in science is closest thing to truth and is a proven fact!!
That the South East of the United States is full of hicks and dumbasses. People tend to gorget that the SOuth is the major place for the Space Progra, (Texas, Florida Alabama where Von Braun did alot of his work at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville) I am tired of being thought of as stupid just because i am from Alabama. We have electricity, we have indoor plumbing, we are civilized, we speak slow because that is the patois of the area, not because we are stupid.
Also, that Buddhists are serene and are perfect and never fail. People forget that like Christianity, there are those of us that are just lay people. We don't all follow every single rule (For example, I am currently drunk. One of the precepts is refraining from alcohol and drugs)

That the phrase is "I could care less."
It's "I couldn't care less." "I could care less" just doesn't make sense in context.

Another misconception I hate: "Asians are smart"
Yes, I'm asian, and (I hate having to say this about myself) I'm probably more intelligent than quite a few of my peers, but why did this whole thing even start anyway? I look at my class. Mostly asian. (Here in Hawaii, there are much more Asians than Whites. The ratio is practically reversed here.) Are they all smartasses and super-intelligent? Not by far.
Albeit, I don't quite know if that IS the level of intelligence we are supposed to have right now since I've been told, according to a test at the beginning of my freshman year, that my reading/comprehension was at Post-High School levels, and a from a few years before that, starting then, math has been my favorite and best subject, and have gotten mostly A's in those classes since then.
