The single stupidest thing that I have ever witnessed would be in Socials 10, in which I lost all faith in humanity.
TEACHER: Okay, Barry, point to Canada on that map (Please to note, map is unmarked).
*Barry gets up, walks over to map, stands there for a few seconds, points to Niger*
TEACHER: Hah hah hah, okay Barry, seriously now, point to Canada.
*Barry looks mildly distressed, looks at the map for a few seconds, points to Iraq, teacher now looks annoyed*
TEACHER: ...Now point to Iraq.
*Barry looks mildly relieved, looks over map for a few seconds, points at Ireland*
TEACHER: ...*sigh*, sit down Barry.
*Barry looks proud of himself, walks over to his seat, sits down*
TEACHER: Okay, Bill, can you find Canada on the map?
*Bill gets out of chair, walks over to the map, immediately points to America with a smug look on his face*
TEACHER: ...Can someone please show Bill where Canada is on the map?
*Everybody in room looks around nervously, then shrugs*
BAKASMURF: *Facepalm*, I hate you all.
Barry then laughed, presumably because he thought what I said was a joke. It wasn't.

Ignorance, ignorance at the highest level by someone who claims to be surrounded by ignorant individuals. This my friends, is a good example of hipocrisy.Darth Pope said:
Since when was it stupid to show interest in a form of government other than democracy? Your classmate had a perfectly valid question, but you were too stubborn to see the reasoning behind their inquiry. Communism would be the perfect form of rule in an ideal world, because individuals can give up their own desires and personal goals and work for the betterment of society. It's too bad that it can't be achieved on this world because it can't compete with capitalism, which uses greed as a motivation to get people (like you) up for work each morning. That and the fact that Earth is populated with horribly misinformed chaps (like you) who's received one too many government brainwashings.
tl;dr "What's so bad about communism?" is a valid question
i heard something similar, only the stupid person in question said "Africa's a continent?". Mind you, this was senior year of high school.CompanionCube said:
All truth right, a guy in my GCSE level chemistry class (Sorry, dont know what that is in american), when asked what happened when you heated Aluminium, he said,
"It goes shiny"
"It goes shiny"
The greatest lie Satan has ever told is, "The Devil does not exist."Anacortian said:
And the story of Job/Cain/most of Old Testament set major precedents in the Bible for exactly how much suffering God allows on Earth to prove faith.
*It's not what harms you, but how you react to misery.*
Learned this at college.(turns out the Bible makes more sense when you read it yourself. And have one with Hebrew footnotes and Apocryphal additions)
Seems "Christians" adapted to the lie also, and reverse blame human victims...much like the aforementioned dunce.
Really, most "religious" are religiously illiterate. Much like Americans don't know the Bill of Rights, locations of warzones/States in the Union, and read on 5th grade levels.
Devil has been busy.
to be fair, there is no such thing as a 2$ bill. There is a $2 bill, but I doubt you argued that point.Darth Pope said:
and Socialism is not inherently bad. Human interest corrupts something which worked out just fine on paper. Communism is inherently a lot worse, however, because it gives human interest a much easier in to corrupt the government.
My class has alot of morons in it, and today i remember in our science class we were watching a dvd about life at the bottom of the ocean "David Attenboroughs Earth". It was at this bit where they were talking about scavengers of the ocean floor who rely largely on corpses of other fish which sink to the bottom for food. The narrator mentioned that they often spend their time looking for much larger ones (Something along those lines) by that he meant large corpses such as blue whales, but right after he'd said it some guy yelled out "That's what she said" which they do all the bloody time.
