"If we could use all of our brains we could perform telekinesis, pyrokinesis, cyrokinesis, telepathy, and mind control"
Of course.
Of course.
"Reggie Bush is definitely the #1 pick." - My room mate in college the year Bush was a rookie. He indeed took him with the first pick, and subsequently finished dead last in our fantasy football league.
Um...isn't that actually true but irrelevant because you involuntarily blink when you sneeze? That's what I heard anyway...s-l-u-g said:

"Halo was the sequel to Doom!!"
"Pshh! Crack isn't addictive! I can quit anytime I want!" (This to me after I reamed one of my former friends out for trying cocaine at a party.)

Not to mention the fact that gravity is also "just a theory." So are germs. Are they untrue too?Lieju said:
And on topic,"If you put a bomb in just the right place in the earth, you could create an earthquake"
and you would know this how?
Is that a typo or is cyrokinesis a real thing? Well, not real like breathing but real like pyrokinesis and mind control.Wasder said:

Guy: What's the capital of China?
Me: Beijing.
Guy: Nooo, you're supposed to say Bangkok!
Why would I do that?

"everyone was working together for the same goals"? What the fuck?
Not to mention the Helios Theory (basicly, the that planets go around the Sun) and Nuclear Theory (guess what that one is). People who say "just a theory" are full of shit and are sheep.Grabtharr said:
Unfortuanately (or fortunately) I dont hang around with dumbasses.
The dumbest thing I constantly hear in universities among the "educated" is the following:
"Communism is perfect on paper".
No, it is not perfect in any sense of the word. The only way you could perceive it as perfect is if you wish to reshape mankind into something else altogether, namely, an ant colony.

I remember a girl in my class who was pretty dumb, who didn't know what the Holocaust was when we were reading a book for English Advanced which had a Holocaust survivor as a character in it. The book was Peter Goldsworthy's Maestro.
Anyway, she burst out and said "But what's the Holocaust?". The teacher explained that it was the process of exterminating Jews that Hitler used as a "final solution to Germany's problems" which did not work. The girl burst into tears because nobody told her that this historical event had occurred. And she just wept and said "But WHY did they do that?".
The teacher couldn't answer her. So far I haven't gotten a straight answer out of any teacher for it. But the point is her parents never told her about the Holocaust, and she was 17 years old then. Couldn't she have gone to a library?

That's exactly the reason why it is perfect on paper. Because on paper/in theory, mankind IS like that. That's the whole point, in communist theory people are indeed like ants. But in sad reality, mankind simply doesn't have the attitude for communism. We all know that ants are incredibly succesfull, it would be a perfect system on paper. But we're not ants, so we can scrap it.Sane Man said:
Anyway, I've been on a conspiracy website for a while, and o boy....I don't even know where to start! Anti-global warming talk based on 0, WTC-is-a-conspiracy talk based on 0, anti-evolution talk based on 0 ("it's only a theory", golden), anti-moonlanding talk (that conversation was absolutely hilarious), anti-HIV talk (as in, it doesn't exist!) and I could go on like that. Every time you thought it couldn't get any more stupid, BAM they did it.
What the hell?? Where did she even go to school before, we learned about WW2 in elementary school!NewGeekPhilosopher said:

By the way the sneeze with eyes open doesn't do anything. Mythbusters proved that.

Time for another contribution of some of the dumbest things people have said to me: "Homeopathy works".
For those of you that don't know what Homeopathy is, let me give you the quick rundown.
In homeopathy, for instance caffeine is an agent that can work as the active substance of "medication" if you drop it in water and dilute that solution until you have the equivalent of one drop of caffeine in a ball of water the size of the known universe... then have someone drip some of that water onto some sugar pills and sell it to you for horrendous amounts of cash. with this procedure, you will be able to use these pills as sleeping pills.
Oh... and if you were to drop one drop of that very dilute mixture into another ball of water the size of the known universe, and keep doing that ten times... it gets much stronger.
You want to check my numbers? Here it is: Longest observable distance of the known universe is 46.5 billion light years. Assuming this is the radius of a sphere (Volume equals radius cubed times 4 PI divided by 3), that is 3.5 * 10^89 cubic millimeters. Assuming one drop is 1 cubic millimeter (that is one thousand of a millilitre, being very generous here), dropping one drop of caffein in a ball of water the size of the known universe dilutes it to what the homeopaths call 89X. Repeating this makes it 178X and so forth. Some of the "strongest" dilutions homeopaths use are over 1000X which means that in order to reach this level of dilution, you must do the one-drop-in-a-ball-of-water-the-size-of-the-observable-universe thing at least ten times over.
The chance of even finding one molecule of caffeine in this so absurdly small that there is no way you can wrap your head around it. Let's just say that the chance of the top ten men and/or women of your dreams walking through your door right now and treat you to the night of your life is realistic and plausible in comparison to that!
Still this nonsense people pay money for and think it works better than modern, properly researched medicine! And not only that but they sometimes stop taking real meds, or stop giving their kids real meds in favour of this quackery. Needless to say, children have died because of this.
"Homeopathy works".... Gods the day someone says that to my face I'll rip theirs off...
...verbally of course. I wont use real violence...
...not much.
