Really Stupid Things You've Heard/Read Someone Say

"Guns should not be allowed in the US. I know this because I live in the UK/Norway/Finland/Germany/Anyothercountryineurope and because there is less gun violence here, there would be less there. There would also be less criminals and the world would be a happier place"

Seems like good enough evidence for me: you have a place with guns, you have a place without guns. The place without guns has less crime. Simples!

OT: I have, in fact, compiled a list of terrible, terrible comments. Here they are! (Don't try and bother working out what point they were making, BTW. I saw them fully in context and they still didn't make sense.)

Spoiler: Warning: this list is labeled *faith_in_humanity.exe has stopped working*. And for a good reason. Also, There's a lot of these.

I love it, the GTX 680 wins and in page after page our red c angel tells us it's not meaningful as all cards can do.
He even calls the GTX590 single card king defunct !
The bias is so bad, and stinks to high heaven, but the review is blind as a bat to his red fanboy bloviating he would have us believe.
I'm sure he will 100% excuse himself as he has before claiming rabid red fans complain so he's doing a good job.
The bias is beyond disgusting anyway.
As we will see the soon Crysis 1 and Metro 2033 will be the favorite games of all. All the rest will be described as " capable of being run on any card offering from either competitor so a dead match washout".
This is the very definition of the red raging fanboy. When they lose in every fashion and form, suddenly everything is a tie and all cards are good, as they are all capable.
You will never see the reverse done for Nvidia, it does not happen here, nor almost anywhere else.
The real truth is more than apparent.
The 680 is about 20% faster across the board, costs less, lower thermals and wattage, smaller core, with an immensely larger feature set that now the raging reds will have extreme trouble lying about over and over again as they have for years claiming "they don't care about any of it and it all sucks".
Worse yet for them the 7970 loses in triple monitor gaming as well, the big fat ram lie is kicked to the curb as it should have been YEARS AGO.
The GTX590 still has the single card crown these low life liars still cannot admit as we see it in so many of these reviews - but for the little lying amd fan, "it was not sufficiently dethroned" and for this reviewer as it shows up on top or under the 680 over and over again, it is "defunkct" - THAT'S RIGHT CHRIS IT IS ACCORDING TO YOU DEFUNKCT EVEN AS YOU INCLUDE IT IN YOUR BENCHMARKS.

[It doesn't matter what he was talking about. I read this article and I still have no idea what he was saying]

thanks for the thuosands of endless lies in red fanboy favor. thanks so much !
I'm sure you all have nvidia cards in your own personal systems a well ! I know you do that proves you aren't a lying sack.
way to go...

@benpl14 Wow I say that I agree with most of the stuff there apart from abortion and The oil i Even if you drill in the us or any other? county for that matter oil is running out simply because there around 7 billion people in the world using it and the demand is increasing. Also don't take what the candidates say to be the truth since they don't do any of the stuff after they are elected. Also technically a baby isn considered to be alive until 3 months which is when their Heart starts beating

Yes but the baby will Become one. And thank you. There steel are nice People On the internet. But I think that it is a baby,Because the fetus will become a baby. It's Like a tree seed, Is it a tree No But If you Plant it, It will become a tree. And We (The U.S) is only drilling 3percent of the Oil in? Alaska and Alaska has just as much Oil and natural gas as Saudi Arabia. And yes I thing if we drill in the U.S and Of the coast of U.S gas Will last for Centuries...Forgive me for bad grammar.

Thats not how gun crimes work simply.

By taking away guns from common citizens, CRIMINALS will not be as afraid to use their guns because they know the common citizen they feel like robbing/raping/killing will not be able to equal the playing field (using a gun) without it being illegal.

Too many factors including Police Response time, location, culture, user, and just over all situation make it impossible to say "Just take them away" (I don't even want to have that right taken away)

Besides, one of Americas founding ideas was to have the right to own a fire arm, it'd be a shit idea to take that idea away because of technological advances.

Dare I quote Seth Meyers in saying: "Have you seen what a gun is nowadays? I can assure that if the founding fathers saw a modern gun, they would not include it in the Constitution."

Something like that. Basically your points are valid but never mention the right to bear arms as a principle.

Also the 'right to bear arms' might refer to a future point in time where we can graft bear arms onto humans and it will totally be legal.

once when i vacationed in california for the winter, to get away from canada's cold, i saw an RPG-7 at a flea market. im sure they [the founding fathers] would not have supported high amounts of explosives in their country. i even asked an officer, he said it was legal to have one.

boy: is Neptune still a planet sir?

I don't want to be seen here to be a idiot, but I don't think that's a totally ridiculous question. Sure, it certainly isn't the smartest, but it could be a lot worse.

I mean, if somebody asked "Is pluto still a planet?" People would go "no."

If someone had asked that 10 years ago, the answer would have been yes.(I think so, I can never remember when Pluto officially stopped being a planet.

Sure, the boys asking about Neptune, but it's not utterly, mind-bendingly stupid.

Also, Pluto having its status as a planet taken away totally sucked.

What annoys me about that is that now I can't remember what it is I'm supposed to be remembering.

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming...

Oh, shit.

Most stupid thing ive ever read, the entire mass effect 3 ending thing and the fact that people who hated it said "its ruined the entire series for me"...this just blows my damn mind! how the hell can it possibly do that?! i mean i cant see it cuz i loved the ending but come on its just...it does not make sense!

"You can shoot a .50 caliber sniper rifle while standing up."

Well, you can certainly fire the .50 Cal while standing... granted you'll need to pick yourself back up after each shot and re-attach your fingers, but you can fire it.
It's just a really, really, REALLY stupid thing to do.

It could in, technicality, be mounted for use while standing.

I disliked the ending, but I still agree with you. In fact, I'm actually annoyed that it'll cost me $20 to repurchase Mass Effect 1 as part of my plan to replay the entire trilogy.

NO, sadly, he meant neptune, he knew about pluto, he was genuinely asking about it, that's why we all thought it was stupid.

Moron: The war on drugs isn't working, If i was president i would stop it.
Me: By legalizing drugs?
Moron: No, more people would get addicted!
Me: but if there's no consequences then more people will still do it anyway so why not remove the thrill of rebellion?
Moron: DRUGS ARE BAD!

(the argument was actually a lot longer and more detailed, but also very cyclical, i have boiled it down to the points that i gathered from it once my head stopped hurting)

Rick Perry is Smart

President Jean of Canada had some bad policies (someone actually said this to me, a canadian citizen who knew that nothing was right about that statement, someone who claims to want to be a politician but can't grasp the simple concept of cause and effect)

I met this girl in high school that had a phobia of sex... even though she never tried it.

Makes sense, a phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something.

"Thanks to modern medicine in a couple of years we will have people living to 150"

I remember reading a article on a drug scientists are testing that might have the ability to help people live up to 1/3 times longer if used every day. I don't remember a whole lot about it but I remember reading it. Also keep in mind just 100 years ago the average life span was significantly shorter than what it is today hell a couple hundred years the average life span was around 30 or less. I mean it will not happen today but maybe in the next 100 years.

 

[Waaghpowa]

It was a long time ago, but I recall an article a movie reviewer made in response to a girls email about how The Wolfman ripped off werewolves from Twilight and even supplied pictures for comparison. Apparently she didn't realize that The Wolfman came out in 1940.

This isn't the original post, but it still has the original email. http://themovieblog.com/2010/twilight-fan-rips-universal-the-wolfman-is-a-cheap-twilight-ripoff/

Read my comment again. "in a couple of years we will have people living to 150". Please tell those 148years old that's there hope.

Also the reason an average life span in the past was so low was because of child and infant mortality. If you managed to survive past twenty you had a good chance of hitting 50-70 depending on your luck.

But yes the future is bright and shining and full of wonder (no sarcasm). We do live in exciting times.

A girl at work said something like: "I don't know much about WWII or the nazis, they're sure not as bad as Obama"

I was catatonic for about five minutes after I heard it.

That's amazing!

OT: "Pffffft, Dwarf Fortress isn't anywhere near as complex and burgeoning with things to do as a good game of Civilization IV."

After I finished rerouting the magma flows, harvested the honey, grew the indoor tree farm, stopped a goblin invasion with a man-carved river, proved a gladiator's worth in the arena, rescued myself from a tantrum spiral, finished the hospital, found something for the poor soapmakers to do, raised a llama herd, completed the three-tiered moat, and got started on the soap cathedral, I looked up in mild bemusement.

when living in england i got introduced to a girl as dutch kris... she then asked me where i was from and once that was explained she said oh so you must speak danish then...:S

had the same more or less in the us.. tell someone im dutch and get ah so your from denmark and somehow end up with the nickname the norweege ... oklahoma is a strange place

I never understood how people can mix up The Netherlands with Scandinavian countries.

At work, we were discussing politics a bit during the break since elections were coming up. One girl stated that she knew almost nothing about politics, so she was bombarded with "Who's the leader of this party? Who's the leader of that party?" questions to test her knowledge. Then, one guy whispers something to her. She faced back to the group, and then asked "Who is the leader of the NSDAP?".
Much laughter was had that day. The guy whispered her to ask that, fairly genius move.

A friend of mine also believes the moon landings are fake, but he might have been doing that to piss me off.

"Pffffft, Dwarf Fortress isn't anywhere near as complex and burgeoning with things to do as a good game of Civilization IV."

Wow. Sounds like someone needs to actually play Dwarf Fortress all the way through.

To be honest, I've only heard of D.F. at around this time last year and had made the decision a few months ago to download and install it. It wasn't until recently that I had learned how to give orders to my Dwarves, but couldn't figure out what starting orders to give (in regards to materials) to save my life.

Since I'm not a programmer, I'm just taking it one slow baby step at a time.
