You would be surprised that this shit happens on daily if not hourly basis. the world is full of stupid people. God I wish natural selection was still a major factor in daily life.

Natural selection is still going strong. It's called: "Which Idiot do I select to get run over by my van". The things they say make my brain want to explode.
Q: Has the space needle been in space?
A: Yeah, it's the thing astronauts use to sew, right?

Q: When was the war of 1812?
A: The one in WW2?
O_O Just...NO. DIE.
I have heard that from so many people visting seattle. On the War of 1812 i had a girl in one of my highschool history class ask that question and was compleatly seriouse about. The teacher didn't even answer the question because it was so stupid.
lol, this shits funny.
War of 1812?? I'm not american so i dint know what war your talking about.. And what do seattle has to do with it??
I dont really know what war US has at that point in history but, what i do know was that South against north (when they did free the slaves) and then US fighting for independense from england (it could be the same war).. But thats the only thing i know about wars US had in that time period..
So it would be nice if u explained to me exaktly what made the question so stupid.. I want to get it to..
And maybe this makes me just as stupid as them o_O .. Then go ahead and laugh at me.. But plz, in the end explain.. plz [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
war of 1812
google, I feeel lucky... but if your lazy... basically america pwned canada.....
now, I believe CmDr's post ties into this nicelyIt used to be that people would do things for themselves. But customer service is evolving to such an extent where people expect everything to be done for them. Even little things. Hence the fact that people are getting stupider and lazier, creating situations like the ones in this thread.
I used to work at a supermarket, and you see people walk in the front doors and immediately walk up to a staff member and ask where something is. DID YOU TRY LOOKING FOR YOURSELF FIRST, YOU LAZY GIT?
I'm officially ashamed of myself, and feel that I should be listed as one of these idiots.
Even after reading "I'm not from America" blah blah and knowing that there's no good reason for this person to know about it, I read the post and was like "WTF? How can you not know?"
So basically, while mocking the stupid average American who just assumes the world knows everything about us cuz we're so special, I am one, even though I acknowledge that it doesn't make sense. Congrats to me. =P
Although admittedly, Google does answer most questions . . .
Ok i have alot and the only thing i get is that thy had an war.. an if u think im going to read that much your crazy.. i read half of what was on the Introduction.. after that i just searched for seattle but it was nothing about it there.. so i still dont know what was so stupid about it and what seattle had to do with it..
And BTW.. me and google are not friends anymore.. Latley when i search i only get german or Chinese sites.. And i'm nether of it.. And it's only suposed to find swedish and english sites [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]
*EDIT*
Shippou-sama: hahaha ^^
Well actually i did not even know about that independence war.. If had not seen the movie The Patriot (i think thats the name since its a direct translation of the swedish title) with Mel Gibson, i still would have thouth that ppl just went to america and colonised it made it america.. Not that they had to fight for the independense..
I dont know if it's just me that have forgot about it but i can remember anything in history that involves USA.. Sure you get a little basic info about the slavery and that was but not that much.. It's only never things like WW1&2 and vietnam.. And Nam we only get a little basic info on to.. I think you have to do a resersh project about USA to even be able to learn things that is history.. Maybe it was only me that was asleep or something [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
man how could u not have know they had to fight the british, im not even from america and i know that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
i get a lot more information than u it seems cos ive know this stuff for as long as i can remember
Rek, I don't know what kind of history they teach you in the US, but apparently it doesn't reflect historical fact. Here is the accurate summary of the War of 1812:Originally posted by: Konoha Rek

America decides they want to conquer Canada.
War follows.
America fails.
If you don't believe me, here is a quote from the website that you googled
"If any one could claim victory it was Canada. The United States declared war on Great Britain and set out to make Canada states in the union. Ten American armies crossed into Canada and all were driven out."
And a bunch of Canadians/British went to Washington and burned down the White House too. So, I'd just like to say that Canada pwned America [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
yeah i had an argument with an american once who said theyve never lost a war. i wasnt aware fo this war (they dont teach it in the UK) but the guy was actually trying to argue that the US won the vientnam war.........o_0
IN A WAR, THERE IS NO WINNNERS.

darwin awards are great......i think the best one i read once was about a man who tried to kill himself
he stood at the edge of a cliff, with a noose around his neck, a gun in his hand, and poison.
apparently this guy REALLY wanted to make sure he'd kill himself.
he drank the poison, and then jumped off the cliff. He tried to shoot himself, but missed and hit the rope instead, cutting the noose before it strangled him.
Then he proceeded to fall down into the water below, where the impact caused him to throw up the poison.
Then medics later arrived to pick him up and take him to the hospital, where he later died of pneumonia or hypothermia or something like that

BEST. SUICIDE. EVER!!! XD
And yeah, the public school system sucks enough that most kids don't acutally learn our history, we learn a few basic opinions that should get us through life. >_<
For instance, a kid IN MY GRADUATING CLASS was unaware of the Vietnam War, and thought that the Cold War was against Korea.
Admittedly, the worst ever was a friend of mine in Florida. Somehow, the school got away teaching that the South won the Civil War (fought between the North and South in the 1860's, btw). Now, this only leaves me with one question: If the South won the war, why do States' rights take a backseat to Federal Law?? I mean, that was kinda the point of the war . . .
Yeah, I hate stupid people. =P

wow i have this book. i got it for xmas last year, but i havent even touched it yet.
My ex bought me a Darwin Awards book for Christmas last year, good shit.
I've worked in retail for a good 6 years now, and there are some stupid people that do some stupid things. I'll skip the basic angst-ridden individuals, pissed over the basic retail things and go for gold:
I once had a guy come in to Suncoast, I was an assistant manager. Remember those commercials they had, boasting the individual that knew everything about any movie without you saying the title? Yeah, that was myself and compadre Josh.
Random Cracker: I'm lookin' fer this movuh... 'bout a jail break 'n a plane.
Me: It could be either Turbulence or Con Air, if it's fairly recent.
RC: Mmm-nah, don't thank so. M'this'n movie had that John Cusack guy n'-
Me: Con Air, the movie is Con Air.
RC: I said it ain't that'n, let me finnush. It had that John Cusack guy n' that guy from Beein John Milkawitch.
Me: Sir, that is John Malkovich.
RC: YUH! He wuz John Malkovich in that movie... y'know it?
Me: Yeah, the actor's name is John Malkovich. He played himself in the movie, sir.
RC: Now that's just sum bullsheeit you movie peoples say. I don't know his name, but him'n that Cusack guy were in a movie about an airplane and a jail break.
Me: Again, sir, Con Air. Here's the box. *points to the name John Malkovich on the back of the DVD
RC: F**k you, I'm a workin' man, I ain't gotta stand for this!
That's probably one of my gems right there. What irks me is the fact that this trailer jockey comes in looking for Con Air, which is a typical fanfare action, but has somehow managed to watch Being John Malkovich without realizing that John plays himself in the movie. This isn't a movie elitist kind of thing, it's just that... he's a cracker. This movie is not cracker fanfare, y'know?
*shrug* The mysteries of the retail world...
See? This is what nukes are truly for. Nuke a city, and chances are you'll hit some idiots.
Retail jobs are diabolicol. I used to work in an off-licence (that'd be liquor store to americans) and we only got the best quality customers there! We had nicknames for some of the better ones, i.e. Granny Pissflaps, Flakey Ian...Believe me you really don't want to know why we named them so!
And the worse ones always think you're some kind of social worker put a their diposal to chat shit (to a rather smelly person)
or
give you shit instead
