Good sir, i do believe you have won this very thread, please, have sex with any member of the opposing gender, assuming that is how you swing, as much as you want, because your logic needs to be continued into further generatonsNovs said:

Well, one of my friends once convinced another friend that Cuba doesn't exist and was a part of Greek mythology. Don't know of that counts as "ignorance" as there was some convincing involved.
Same girl thought Brazil was in Asia.
This girl has made a lot of other ignorant comments. I can't seem to remember any at the moment though. I understand some people don't know as much about stuff as others... but really?

Seriously, what the fuck did we do to deserve this?

This Video has a lot of dislikes because of the stupid example. Comparing Christianity to something that will burn up your insides would make me rather fearful of believing.
"And if you turn away from God, that light will go out and this pickle looks like any other pickle!". So my only chance of survival lies in "turning away from God" as fast as possible, before believing has burned me up completely.
This Video isn't hated because there are so many hateful atheists out there, this Video is being hated because it advertises "Believing" as if i could switch it on. He meant to say that believing will have you give off energy because you're "glowing".
Starts to sound like a sales pitch. "Start believing now and you'll have infinite amounts of inner Energy!"
Another thing: Christianity has literally blinded this man to the possibility that other people could see this Pickle a bit differently. Many Christians have commented that any other view must come from a hate filled atheist, and that's not coming from fanatics; normal People think that thinking anything else then the video suggests can not mean anything else that the person who thinks differently must be some hatefilled atheist.
And that has me scared. Everyone who sees it differently as the "Christian" will not be heard, but shunned. Every argument will fall on deaf ears. Again, these are not religeous Fanatics, but "normal" People. "Christianity" may give those People hope in live, but in this particular case it makes them blind and angry at anyone who thinks differently, or even just thinks.
Religion scares me more then it gives me hope. I only ask that one would keep Religion away from me, but in many cases that seems too much to ask. So there are quite a lot of People who hate Religion because of that; they can not be blamed.

You'll forget to be scared because you'll be laughing your ass off from other peoples responses.Shycte said:
Guy on the web : "I don't get why we don't count zero first when we count to ten?"
Me : "Because that would be a useless gesture - Zero is a non denominator"
Guy on the web : "That's bullshit what about the year 0 AD then moron?"
Me : "There is no year 0 AD"
Guy on the web : "lol you're so stupid of cause there is, It comes before year 1 AD".
Me : "No the year before 1 AD is 1 BC."
Guy on the web : "that makes no sense, How do you count the years then if there is no year 0 AD?"
Me : "It's exactly to be able to count the years that there is no year 0 AD, zero is always a non denominator, IT actually means nothing and counting nothing is futile and irrelevant, Come on man this is grade school stuff.
I got banned for trolling by that post, It might be because the dimwit is was disgussing with was a mod.

I apologize for that, I must not have been paying much attention to the quote boxes. Oh and FYI I wasn't taking a direct crack at you or anyone else specific, I was referring to the largely mis-informed masses.Nigh Invulnerable said:
Ah, well I suppose I'm not familiar with any Australian shows. That seems better but my point still stands that people who don't understand a clear bias (which is a sadly large amount of people) would still think that that information is accurate, because it is clearly placed as showing Americans as stupid. In fact it might be just as bad for sending the message "Look, Americans are so stupid that we can make a comedy show out of them."ENKC said:
Perhaps not the most extraordinary but surely the most unfortunate case of ignorance was this kid back from my high school. Nicest guy you ever met, was always kind, please and thank you, very smart in school... and pissed the hell out of me because behind that great kid was a HARDCORE Christan fundamentalist.
Federal ban on gay marriage, abortion, took offense to Harry Potter or the wizard of oz because it had witches in it...
Just the worst part of the christan ignorance despite all the good things that came with a heavily religous person that you'd want. Couldn't bring myself to dislike the guy because he practiced the kindness he preached but... he was the kind of guy you couldn't have an intelligent discussion with because all his arguments started with, "The bible says..."

I have two, these also fall under the worst bit of racism I have ever experienced as well.
First, this is like circa 1989, I was six. To lay some back story, I'm the daughter of a bi-racial couple, my mother a black woman, my father white. I resulted in being white in skin color. So back to 1989, I was walking down the street with my mom and my grandma (my paternal grandmother=white) we happen to pass by a friend of my grandma's on the street whom she had not seen for almost a decade, the woman looked at me and then my grandmother, totally bypassing my mother and said "Why, Evelyn, I didn't know you had another child, how amazing!!!" I suppose it would be amazing because my grandmother was 67 that year.
Can you spot the ignorance?
Second and maybe more devastating, why only afew years (1993) after that scene my little brother attended the same school as we were only 2 grades apart (a little more back story out of my four sibling and myself my brother Lloyd was the only one who got a fraction of my mother skin color, he being a beautiful light tan brown), I introduced my brother to my teacher.
"Mrs. Gray, this is my little brother Lloydie."
Her eye popped outta her face, and she asked
"Which one of you are adopted?" her eyes lingering on my brother.
My brother cried for three days after that incident.

Oh boy, if my jaw drops one more time from reading about the idiots you people have ran into, I think my jaw will fall off... ._.
OP: I actually ran into a kid at school who believed that all Muslims and Buddhists were terrorists, my friend Milap nearly lost his mind in sheer anger...
