The lies you were told as a child.

[Limos]

I guess I got the Santa stuff. But mostly my parents were pretty upfront with me.

You know I never got the whole birds and the bees thing. I'm not even sure what that is about, no one ever told me. Of course my parents shortened pregnancy to "people love each other", "grow in belly", "9 months later." So I didn't get the details. But apparently there is an established lie involving birds and bees. Or that cabbage patch thing.

My parents didn't lie to me that I remember.

Another lie I believed was that you could talk to animals and they would understand you.

I talk to my dogs all the time and they understand me perfectly i just dont have a clue what there saying back .
back on topic though when i was very young my parents would always pretend to call the "Boys Home"(orphanage) to have me taken away when i was being a little bastard and they couldnt take it anymore!

I am SO close to going on a rant. I don't give a damn WHAT you believe in, DON'T insult me or anyone else by saying that any Religion is a lie.

Fucking bigots. Seriously...

If it can't be proven (and it can't) then clinging to it as Truth is dishonest.

 

[JMeganSnow]

Any explanation that ended with "that's just the way things are". That what I was getting in school was "education". That other people (including my parents) were somehow better than me. That they loved all their children equally (yeah, right). That they were "proud" of me.

Shhhh, its not bigotry when they do it... Science says so. lol


CP, yea I got a healthy dose of the orphanage threats when I was a kid too. That just seems kinda heartless to me. I mean telling your kid that the X-mass presents are hidden in the attic is one thing but to threaten to give up said kid... lol

Call me naive, but I believe in God.

You're (sorry, It just bothered me) naive.

Hey come on now, that was a bit uncalled for (oh wait.. I guess it was called for...)

Even though I was the first to say it here, Religion isn't a lie if your parents actuallly beleived it. My parents are agnostic (and leaning towards the athiest side of things) but they told me god existed to please my grandparents, at least until I was old enough to think 'well that doesn't make any sense at all' and give up on the whole faith thing myself.

I hate all the christian holidays that have been turned into some kind of gift festival. It makes no sense at all, plus I end up hearing more about it from ads and such months before they even happen. Christians are free to beleive whatever they want, but it's hard for me to ignore it with rabbits shoving chocolate at me.

Also:

I don't give a damn what you beleive in

Fucking Bigots

Pfft.

That if you masturbate you will go blind and grow hair on your hands.

Such terrible lies.

Well I'm glad someone had the balls to say it.

 

[bread golem]

That dad would live through the cancer. Then later that I'd be able to walk again someday and that sis would be alright after the accident.

ouch. just, ouch. that must suck so badly, I can't even comprehend it.

I was told no lies, straight out, there is no Santa, no god, nothing out there but what you can see. only believe what you can change. So I tried to changed it. but sometimes, I just wonder, were my parents doing me a favour by telling me that.

 

[Shivari]

EDIT:

I always thought Santa and the like were sick jokes to trick kids and then crush them later on.

Actually that sounds awesome!

You seem to really like the idea of destroying children's mental health. Why is that?

I don't like little kids, so talking about torturing them is as good of a way to make people aware of this fact as anything else.

It's all a joke really.

I still don't like kids though...

 

[KSI Hellboy]

Santa really pissed me off.

 

[MegamattZero]

I had a dreamcatcher that suppose to catch my nightmares......fuck you.

If it can't be proven (and it can't) then clinging to it as Truth is dishonest.

The absence of evidence is not the same as the evidence of absence. Sorry, had to be said.

More lies I was told (and never believed) are: The confederacy(south) won the American Civil War, The US never landed on the moon, and all of the Chuck Norris facts.

And yes, the Easter Bunny is real. His name is Snowball.

 

[Zealot_Guy]

That the sky is blue cuz it reflects off the ocean. Then why's the ocean blue? ALL LOGIC FAILS FROM THAT POINT.

That my body was a gift from god and blah blah blah blah. Fuck that. My body, my mommy made it for me and now I've paid off the morgage. MINE!!!

You take that back about Chuck Norris!!!

 

[bread golem]

nothing out there but what you can see.

You were told a lie, then.

(You can't see air now can you?)

No, I can not, with my bare eye, but with some crazy molecular telescope I can!
