"That Was Deep!" "No, You're Just Stupid."

[Ham_authority95]

Its funny how many people start it off with some variant of "There was this girl..."

OT: I was talking with this guy during lunch and he said:

"I grew up in an expensive suburb, my parents went to college, and I'm catholic. I'm the whitest person here!"

To which I responded "Actually, the majority of Latin America are Catholic."

Then he said: "Are you kidding?!!? Catholicism is the whitest religion on the planet!"

Well, there is this one girl (why is it always the opposite sex?) who caused me and my friends major headaches in history class.

Her actions include:
- Thinking that England and France were the same country.
- She thought that Hitler and Stalin were the same person
- Telling me to go kiss a picture of a Nazi when I said I was a communist.
- Thought all of the middle east was Iraq
- Did not know what the holocaust was
- Thought video games were evil and created terrorists
- Could not believe that atheists existed, and were allowed to think that
- Strongly believed that the church should be taught in school
- Did not know that the most flaming guy in the school who sat beside her, was gay
- Tried to preach the bible to me
- Hard a hard time telling black people apart

EDIT: Another great story, for half the school year I had convinced her that I was russian and just moved to canada (I am surprisingly good with accents) and I would fake-answer my phone when she was around, and yell angrily is fake russian, especially mentioning the words "nukes" "invasions" "communism". Within four months she was convinced I was in Canada to help start a soviet invasion, and she told the principal what she thought, with the hopes of having me arrested. He asked me to stop screwing with her head, and out of respect I did.

God, I love idiots.

I had a good laugh at this. Also, on behave of all (intelligent) Christians "I am sorry" for not teaching our children better.

To see the look on your principals face would be hilarious though.

Once a guy asked me over a game online where I live.
I answered: New Zealand.
He said: No no what state?
I said: I dont live in America, I live in New Zealand
He Said: Yeah so what State? California?

Well, during a maths class back in yr 12 we somehow got onto the topic of which teachers supported what state in the State of Origin games. Now, being a town in New South Wales we're pretty close to the Queensland border so there are a few people that have moved from there. Anyway, one person said "Well, we're closer to Queensland than New South Wales." Everyone just looked at her then laughed for a good 10 minutes. She then said "Oh, you know what I mean" to which everyone replied "No we don't". She was quiet after that.

I do love the number of spelling errors occurring in a thread about how dumb people are. It kind of makes some people appear like elitist hypocrites.

 

[JEBWrench]

Not really, i have a friend in the fast-food industry. We laughed at her (oups!) and he said that they charge for a normal hamburger is they are in a good mood, or they do the cheeseburger and charge extra to remove the cheese when they feel like... You know!

Edit: And that if they take you seriously. I wonder where it woud be cheaper.

The McDonalds' franchises around here. Cheapest way to get a hamburger is to order a McDouble with no cheese, minus one burger patty.

(Which, for the record, is even MORE hilarious.)

 

[AMMO Kid]

this annoying guy on youtube. he thinks he is the best at splinter cell but he only plays on normal difficulty and gets spotted and SUCKS!

What's the guy's username? I could use a laugh.

OT: A friend of my friend is convinced that Stalin was the President of the US in WW2. The worst part about it is he actually knows a lot about Germany.

Oh.
The.
Irony.

...Unless you really meant Germany and it has no bearing whatsoever to him not knowing who Stalin ruled over. Or I missed something.

I'm gonna guess you meant Russia because it's funnier in my head despite it most likely being me missing something.

A girl in my sociology class once though Hawaii was part "the east".

She actually did better than me in sociology and psychology.

Sherlock Holmes knew nothing outside his own specialization; he was unaware that the earth went round the Sun, and furthermore didn't care

What I mean is, people can be clever in certain areas while ignorant in others

Sherlock Holmes never existed.

From my point of view, he exists as much as you do, indeed more so, since there's only writing to suggest both of your existences, and there's more writing about him than about you.

What do you say to that, fictionalchops?

It was a global sociology class.

It really was relevant.

I concede.

That is depressingly stupid

 

[Acidwell]

Heres the scene.
1. My student flats have a front door with a button you push to release the door.
2. The button is on the wall about 2 feet away from the door.
3. My friend is pretty short.

Story:

My friend says goodbye and leaves the apartment, i decide to go to the shops 5 minutes later and find her with one hand on the button stretching as hard as she can trying to reach the door handle to push the door open. I laugh.

Forgive me for nit picking. But to have a 2 foot reach you would have to be 2 foot tall as I understand it your arm span is the same as your height.

Its ok.
You see she is very small about 4 foot 5", the button is on the wall 2 feet away from the door, maybe a tiny bit more, but it is on the side of the door where the hinges are.
She thought you had to push the button at the same time as you turned the handle but she couldnt reach it enough to turn even though she could brush the handle with her fingertips.

My friend tells me stories about a guy in his history class. I've met him and knew he was an idiot but I didn't know he was this stupid.
He's INSISTS that after World War II the British tried to build a battleship of ice and woodchips, the purpose of the ice? According to him ice is impervious to torpedos and an ice boat would definatly not melt if used in the Pacific theater of World War II.
He's also POSITIVE that Hitler was gay.
What sources does he cite, well he "saw somethin' about it on the discovery channel" oh yeah and of course "My brother studies World War II, I win!" a real quote from him.

There was this thing called "Pykrete". They tried to make battleships from it. It was basically ice and sawdust mixed in to make a very strong and hardly melting mixture.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pykrete

Oh well I've learned something new then, trust me he's still an idiot, he didn't know about that stuff he just thought that it was regular ice and regular mulch and he still thought Hitler was gay.

Actually, it's pretty debated about Hitler's sexuality. I don't know enough about Hitler to give any definitive answer, but there is speculation that Hitler may have been gay.

The so called 'evidence' about Hitler being gay is very recent and very ignorant. The first mention that he might have been gay occurred in a book published in 2001 based entirely on speculation, totally ignoring the fact that Hitler had relationships with at least six different women, as well as the fact that he widely persecuted homosexuals (he killed at least 10,000).

 

[Iron Criterion]

So to summarize... You all "knew this girl"... maybe it was the same girl?

And still she wouldn't fuck them.

Oh where do I begin? I'll probably reiterate the story of the girl in my history class at college who thought WWII was actually WWI (i.e. She knew nothing of the first World War).

 

[S.R.S.]

"What the fuck does WTF mean?!"

So long ago and yet I can't seem to forget it, ever.

 

[Arcticflame]

I had a school teacher say that the 1950's were in the 19th century. When I called him up on it, he disagreed with me, and eventually the entire class was basically trying to get me to admit I was wrong.

 

[Slash Dementia]

My friend said that Vikings weren't real, that believing in them was just as bad as believing in the Easter Bunny.
This surprises me because she's a smart person...or at least in everything else.

Snippy

Am interesting notion. I would argue that sherlock Holmes is admitted to be fictional and that I am not. Not that my existance alters the validity of comments I make. I like your style though.

And I yours, good sir, though in all my reading of the many Holmes books I've not a single admittion of fictionality; they are always written as if they were fact...

On a slightly related note, I recall there being a plaque to the honor of Mr Holmes at 221 Baker Street where he apparently lived, so there is in fact more evidence in his favor

Back in high school, so many, many years ago, I had a girl convinced that clitourus was a color. She lived a very sheltered life.
I also had a guy convice spam came from the Spamelope. He was just retarded.
Much later in life while at work, a coworker asked why the summer olympics were being held in September.....the olympics were in Australia that year. It took me a while to fully grasp that that question had actually been asked of me.I then proceeded to leave the room for fear of catching the stupid.
One more for good measure. A friend of mine asked if mosquitos laid eggs or just spontaneously spawned from stagnant water. It made very much aware just how much the drugs fried his brain. He didn't use to be that way.
