Only way I could think of deflecting that would just be being completely obtuse.

OT: This Bieber quote:
Seeing as no one has posted the video in question yet.
Be prepared for highly intelligent people to explain why you're wrong, so you can have fun completely discounting them simply because they must be right-wing.SeeIn2D said:
No, I don't mean freezing fire.
I'd start, but I'm about to fall asleep on my keyboard.
"Why would you die if your heart stopped beating?" A girl in my year 12 psychology class.
"Why would you buy an iPad? I'd never use one." My friend. Yes, I know YOU would never use one, but I am not you. Hell, I'm using mine right now. He does this a lot though. He can't seem to understand that other people lead different lifestyles and have different needs to him. Never met a person lacking as much empathy as he does.
EDIT - Same friend. We were talking about why Australia needed an R rating for games. His speech first.
"None of the games I want get banned, so who cares?"
"I do. I want to see everything available so as to maximise our freedom when it comes to entertainment."
"Our freedom isn't limited."
"Yes, it is. Can you buy Mortal Kombat 9?"
"Why would I want to?"
"Irrelevant. Can you?"
"But I don't want to."
"That's not what I'm asking. Can you buy it, not do you want to."
"I don't want it though."
That went on for about 15 minutes. I seriously think he got knocked in the head somewhere down the line.

Hrm... "Games don't need pause buttons", "fun is limited to light-hearted humour", "what is this purple person doing in my serious cutscene?" the list could go on forever. I do realize these all relate to video games. Hmm.. I know!
"Let's change our logo from Sci-Fi to Syfy, and this will tell people we are more than just a channel devoted to science fiction, that's why we have wrestling and reality TV." That's kind of like how Cartoon Network has started introducing live action shows, totally undermining the concept of the channel as a whole. Or how History Channel and Animal Planet has started putting in reality TV shows.
"I have proof that multi-purpose vaccinations don't cause autism, peanut/milk allergies, and other issues that have been seemingly on the climb the last 10+ years." That one always makes me laugh. It may well be a case of correlation does not mean causation, but I haven't seen a huge amount of proof in either direction and whelp.. Occam's Razor.
"What's the worst that could happen?" or "It couldn't possibly get worse" are pretty high up there, because the shit always ends up hitting the fan afterwards.
I dunno.. I hear people say stupid things all the time, it's hard to focus on just one.

I'm sitting on the couch playing Legend of Mana by Squaresoft. Then the sister of my next door neighbor comes up to me and says:
"I like Jak and Daxter better because it's anime."
There was also a moment where I was with a group of friends trying to solve a physics problem involving a falling meter stick that was tipping over from its edge. And then we're trying to calculate its moment of inertia and my buddy cries out,
"Wait! They didn't tell us the length of the meter stick!"
In all seriousness he was one of my best friends during my undergraduate career.

A day in which stupidity apparently was on a roll was 2 summers ago back home. My friend's girlfriend wanted to move to another beach because there were rocks in the sea.
After moving to another beach, another friend's girlfriend wanted to move to another beach cause small fish were biting her while she was standing still.
And all this in a Greek beach, mind you.
Take it away, Doug.

OT. my best friend is convinced that if you instantly traveled to Australia, because their 8-10 hours ahead of us (we are in UK) that would be time travel and you would have gone 8-10 hours in the future. while he is a good friend he really is an idiot at times

I had a customer who I removed malware from his computer. When he picked it up he asked if the "virus could get back on his computer from the wires in the wall".
He thought the malware was hanging out in cables in his house, like a real virus on a household surface.

Unfortunately, one of my siblings is prone to speaking whatever little nonsense is astonishingly still cooped up in their fleeting brain.
It's difficult to tell if they are truly struggling to process a sliver of rational thought/reasoning or if they are doing their best to dumb down their own intelligence.

Yes, yes, yes. It's so brilliant. Somebody should start an FSTDT appreciation group on here sometime.GunsmithKitten said:

I once read someone's forum post going on about how they would illegalize marriage, if they could. Like, anyone caught enacting some sort of marriage ceremony would be thrown in prison.
Some people just have to take everything to its furthest extreme. Even societal subversiveness. And it's enough to make you bang your head against a wall.
