What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard or overheard someone say?

[ChildishLegacy]

Any kind of religious or historically/scientifically inaccurate bullshit just brings my piss to a boil. Also, people accepting gays way too much. It's like, ffs. When you think about it, it's really a mental condition and not a "choice of life" or "personality trait" as many describe it. And yeah, whatever, if they wanna get married so fucking much just let them, but BY FUCK, don't let them adopt children (mindfuck).

?

its like you just contradicted what you said...

most reasons for disliking homosexuality seem to be religiously based. I mean whats wrong with it? can you expect all gays to turn hetero? people have tried that, Im not so sure it works. There is debate where gayness comes from...but from what I can see it is what it is, not somthing you can really prevent

as for the adopting children thing..I dont know, if I were in such a position my only concern about allowing gay coupples to have children would be the predjudice of OTHERS, not their ability to raise a child

I am atheist and judging gays just by saying "it's a sin" is ridiculous. I judge them because imagining a man with with a hairy ass fucking another man with a hairy ass is just......yeah, you know.

then dont fucking imagine it...

its just as stupid, your reasoning is "ewwww it makes me UNCOMFORTABLE" thats just pathetic

See, this is the kind of shit that also pisses me off. People talk about racism and sexism here and all kinds of shit, but as soon as someone who is not 100% fine with gay people shows up, nobody wants to go there. I stand alone saying that I AM NOT TOTALLY FINE WITH GAY PEOPLE. THEY DISTURB ME. And then I get gang-raped by people who think they are being really tolerant and awesome by saying that I am a homophobe and pathetic etc. I know exactly what you think about me because I have a lot of empathy. Here you are defending gay people and thinking I'm some kind of conservative and ignorant moron. Well, it's not like that.

You find the thought of you being gay disturbing because you're not gay, I do too, because I'm straight. Just as gay guys find the thought of being with a woman disturbing. It DOESN'T mean you should find other people being gay disturbing, leave them to do what they want, they're not imposing anything on you, you clearly don't have much empathy otherwise you could understand that they feel differently towards the same sex to the way you do, and respect that. You have to realize they look at the same sex differently to you, so it isn't disturbing for them.
Also, what is it like then? Because you seem to have randomly thrown your homophobic ideals into a thread that has no need for them, so you do look like an ignorant moron right now.

As soon as my friend finished his Rube Goldburg device for class. Some random girl shouts! "A rubber glove!". The device had one but this was 20 seconds after it was finished.

Also, I was at the local blockbuster when I saw a man pick up passion of the christ and say "Nah, christians are idiots.", then he reached for some other movie and said, "Muslims too..... fuck, any religion is stupid!"
Needless to say I shouted at him worse than my local priest would at some sort of pedophile.

My brother in law thinks Canadians are from 'Canadia' and Mayonnaise is a brand name.

A girl once said to my friend 'It's not that I'm wrong! It's just that my logic is different than yours!' She was deadly serious too.

Oh and my sister told my nephew that ladybirds eat... triffids. That would be so much more awesome admittedly.

Quick deploy the Ladybirds!

Ladybirds? I thought it was seawater! LOL

Usually anything from anyone defending their race/gender.

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

I see what you did there. you win, good sir.

oh god, so many... so, so many...

When I was working: I worked at a Foodland Supermarket, and I had a customer come up to me and ask 'Where do you keep the big Macs?'.
I then had a 5 minute conversation with the guy saying we didn't sell Big Macs, nor any pre-made burgers. I honestly couldn't tell if he was just trolling or being sincere, but he seemed really disappointed in the fact we didn't sell Big Macs.

Most face-palm worthy: In an argument with some people about Racism and Sexism, one of the people I was arguing with stated "Racism and Sexism have nothing to do with Race or Gender!"
...
yeah...

Your avatar is awesome.

Oh yeah, last night a friend of mine did a quote from the "Honeybadger doesn't give a fuck", then a girl in college said, "What badger gets covered in honey?"

 

[Alcamonic]

Some people, one of them sadly being my father, who take parts of the bible and cite them as "historical facts".
Him - "And then, Jesus walked on water! It is truly a sign he was son of God!"
Me - "No, that is a sign that he was a magician with simple tricks to delude the common man, let's face it, people always think everything they can't understand is "supernatural" and "magic"."
This is the best of his "facts"
Him - "And it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, covering the entire earth with water!"
Me - "Consistently heavy rain for over a month in a desert area is highly unlikely, and the entire earth? More like a small valley they lived in. It's not unheard of for sealed off valleys to waterfill."

Yet he wonder, why I am an atheist.

I do not wish to start a flame war or get myself banned for "bashing religion" or anything.
I don't mind religion, and the basic concept of Christianity is not bad "help thau neightbour and friend, love everyone equally" and so on. But the bible is a fictional history book, made up to put the christian beliefs into context so people can easier understand them.

wut.

When you think about it, it's actually not a mental condition. I don't know where you're getting that from.

Although it is kinda funny, going into a thread about dumb statements and saying that.

 

[HalfTangible]

"Christians worship the wrong savior, Jesus was the true son of god!"

...

Ok i made that one up =P

I did personally say this one when i was really really young though: "Easter is the day Jesus rose from the deaf."

The fact that somehow one can claim homosexuality is both an inherent, unchangeable part of who you are and a life choice. If something is unchangeable from birth (yes, people say this) it isn't a choice, and if it's a choice, it's not bred into you. Can we please just pick one?

Is it a bad thing that I have no idea what "HAARP" is?

Myself:
Once, after a presentation about hydrogen powered cars, I asked "But isn't it a bad idea to vaporize all our water?" (hydrogen powered cars essentially take liquid water and turn it into water vapor)
I got laughed at by the entire room, including a professor because they thought I thought the cars would be powered by fresh water (which is rare) and not salty water (which is not rare).

The thing is, that's not what I meant at all. What I was getting at is that water vapor is a friggin greenhouse gas so having all our cars produce it probably isn't that much better than CO2. But at this point it was already too late to clarify

So yeah, that's the dumbest thing I myself ever said. Even though it was only because I formulated my question very poorly.

Others:
I... It's... the... you... I... How could I ever pick just one? Have you been surfing the same internet as me???

Ps. hydrogen powered cars don't just release the water vapor, they catch it in a seperate room and let it cool so it becomes liquid again. So they actually don't discharge anything into the atmosphere. That wasn't mentioned in the presentation though.

Water vapor, in the form of clouds is reflective, I thought? Meaning that yes, it would keep heat inside the atmosphere, but also reflect incoming sunlight back out. Not an expert on global warming or meteorology, so I could very well be wrong.

That's correct clouds do reflect both ways. But clouds are tiny drops of condensed water vapor. Actual water vapor is a straight up greenhouse gas. By far the most common one in fact.
But there's much more to it than that. Greenhouse gasses react with eachother and to changing conditions and water vapor often plays a part in it. For example: warmer air can hold more water vapor. So if the air gets warmer due to global warming it will hold more water vapor which means there are now even more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and temperature will go even higher so the atmosphere will hold even more water vapor and so on.
What I'm trying to say is, is that thanks to all these complex interactions it's hard to say what exactly would happen if water vapor was suddenly and massively released into the atmosphere. My guess is it will either be bad or neutral but never good.
Anyway it's kinda irrelevant since hydrogen powered cars don't discharge the water vapor.

To be a mental disorder though, by definition something must have a significant deleterious effect on the sufferer's life. With homosexuality there is no such effect, no one is harmed if two consenting adult men or women want to go at it. On the adoption issue given the large number of children who end up never being adopted, whether or not a homosexual pair are the optimum environment for a child to be raised in, it's surely better than not being adopted at-all.

I've worked in a call center for 8 years now...I hear customers say stupid things on every other call. There is simply no way to filter out the most stupid of these comments into a winner.

I'll just go with the all to common classic, "I didn't see my bill over the last 3 months so why should I have to pay it?"

I work in a call centre too. And things heard in call centres can have their own "Dumbest Things Heard" Lists because of the immense idiocy that comes from people who call up call centres.

I had a woman berate me for 10 minutes over a bill she'd had for a green top which she was adamant that she'd never order and never received. She then passed the phone over to her husband who continued to argue until I made mention that it was regarding a green top. He then stopped and said to his wife "Where did you get that top from?"

Can you guess the answer?

No, I live south of Ellerslie Road

You live where the street names are negative. I think the other participant in your conversation is fully justified in thinking that you live in some other worldly dimension. Calgary is one such of these bizarro worlds.
