Dumbest Things Heard In School

to be fair, there is no such thing as a 2$ bill. There is a $2 bill, but I doubt you argued that point.

What is so bad about communism? I'm not a communist, I'm a socialist, but I still like the idea of it better than say a lazzi faire capitalist system

he was just saying that the dollar sign ($) goes before NOT after the number value.

if you'd read his post you'd see he then said "there is a $2 bill"

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.

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.

"What's so bad about communism?" is a valid question

There's no need to get hostile over my question. My reasons for believing communism is a flawed system are (Mostly) the same as your argument against me.

I've lost count (and memory!) as to how many times I hear misinformation. But the best was the time one of my friends wrote 42 for all the answers to an Algebra test. All. i.e "Simplify 2X + 3Y = 64" "42"

When questioned, he claimed it was "the answer to everything." He failed the class.

If I ever meet that guy I'll buy him a pan galactic gargle blaster. Or maybe just a beer. I wish I had the balls to do that.

It looks like that guy is either a fan of the Impossible Quiz or ripping of someone who is.

Honestly I think it's cool he had the guts to do that.

In my music class last year, we got this little gem:

"Who's John Lennon?"

There was also the incident of the list of countries involved in WW2 that didn't have Poland on it. I have yet to forgive my History teacher for that.

I would hardly rate not knowing who John Lennon is as a bad thing, just maybe unfamiliar with dead celebrities. If said person was a Beatles fan though...

Every time a person tells me they don't know who John Lennon is I just stare at them blankly for a few minutes before calling them retarded. He is one of the greatest men to ever have lived

Lennon was a musician. Nothing more. He wrote some great songs, but he's hardly worthy of the reverence so many people hold for him. Also, before you go calling someone retarded for not knowing who a dead song writer is, I have to ask if you know who several people are. Les Claypool, Kirk Hammett, Adam Jones, Danny Carrey, Maynard James Keenan, Scott Hull, Tony Iommi, Bruce Dickinson, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and many others. All of these musicians have written material that has influenced me greatly, but do I call you a retard for not knowing who they all are? No.

I know everybody you just named. Go me.

Well, then you are awesome and deserve a cookie. What type would you prefer? How bout a Pig Destroyer cookie (since you seem to know Scott Hull)?

My point was, however, just that not everyone finds Lennon to be "teh best EVAR" and gets tired of people proclaiming him to be the second coming of Christ or whatever (too bad he got shot).

You make an excellent point. Same with Kurt Cobain and all these other artists with cult followings (and hopefully, same for me one day). It's a shame they're dead, but it's not the end of the world.
And thank you, the cookie tastes of Destroyed Pigs.

He's just a fan of The Hitchhiker's Guide. Hurray for lemon wrapped gold bricks!

Ah the vaults of my memory have once again opened up. (BAAAAD TIMES)

Just about every time my maths teacher would go into depth to explain even the simplest process one girl would call out 'siiir i don't get it' and then even after he explains it directly to her she would parrot her last phrase and then end up gettin me lumbered with having to explain it because my teacher gave up.

 

[Combined]

There are only three incidents I've heard something dumb at one of our schools.

1. Fellow: *points at Africa* *silence* *points to Asia* *more silence* *points to Canada*
Teacher: Okay, I guess that's enough. You still haven't shown me Australia.

2. Fellow: *opens a page on Offended in Encyclopaedia Dramatica.*

3. Teacher: Communism is the greatest system devised by man! It makes all equal and provides for all! The workers will not be exploited in the Future!

Our homework for that was to write 20 sentences on why Communism is the greatest socio-economic system. Naturally, as a decent person and a Capitalist, I refused to take part in this filthy red propaganda.

Standard grade history class: "What's the holocaust? was that when all those wee jew people died?"

dumb ***** then moved to Dubai. I doubt she could even spell it.

You all completely missed the fucking point, he doesnt know where KFC chicken comes from, but knows what it stands for? (hint FUCKING hint?)

I see now that the escapist isn't completely devoid of idiots. how could anyone not get that?

Everything I heard in English Literature was pure bull.

 

[dancinginfernal]

Just last week, in Freshman Geo.

Teacher: Britney, where is Germany?

Britney: Uh...France? Duh.

As soon as she said Duh, I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of class and, being the only one laughing, ended up getting in trouble. Bummer.

"John Kennedy was black, Aly."
I literally got a whole class into a fight over whether he was black or white.
