Yes, that's life for you.

Dude. People will scream at you for being an idiot if you say that germs cause disease. You need to get used to that sort of thing on the internet.

I will never get used to people getting stupid...in fact...I shouldn't HAVE to get used to people being stupid. It's the stupid people who should be made to get a fucking clue, not the intelligent people who should have to sit and suffer in a see of incoherent wails of sheep.

So much yes.

I almost want to eliminate the people who go "hey you just have to accept unacceptable bullshit because I'M too apathetic to care enough to make effort to FIX anything" as much as the people that are doing the stupid shit to begin with.

How people fail to understand that >TOLERATING< utter and complete wrongness stupidity is WHY there's so fucking much of it as opposed to if people at least TRIED to beat sense into those people when they popped up.

I'm sorry, "sea" not "see" ...of course on the internet an innocent typo is grounds for complete dismissal.

I THINK THIS JOURNAL IS WRONG! >:C

lol naw i get cha~

I work at Comcast...this pretty much defines my day. I can say 1+1=2 and I'll get a 20 minute argument

Me at work yesterday:

Look at the back of the box. Is there a cable plugged into the first connector on the left?

customer:

10 minute essay about the color of some cable.

me:

Is it plugged into the connector on the left?

customer:

repeats essay.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh.

And the issue was fixed when the customer dropped her tv. it just started working.

Me yesterday:

"Push the channel up button"
"I don't have one."
"It's the white button with a CH on it."
"I don't see it."
"It's halfway down the remote...shaped like a peanut."
"Ugh, just send me a damn mechanic already"

I'm thinking of writing a book, tech support for dummies, for people who have to call into tech support.

want to help?

This is why paranoid overzeleous idiots are to be ignored and ostracized from sane society.

The earth is flat and at the center of the universe.

Also, evolution is a lie and stem cell research is evil.

Even if you don't get into the "religious" reasons of why people are so willfully stupid (as in they don't desire to question their faith and whatever their leaders tell them) you still have plenty of morons within the field of science itself. Stupid people will defend their position no matter what especially when they are taken off guard. The best way to win an argument versus an idiot is to let them know about the debate BEFORE you tell them they are wrong.

That way they are allowed to prepare a counter-argument and feel as though they had a fair chance to share their views. This can help ease some of the potential conflict when you basically prove beyond all doubt they are wrong. If someone feels attacked it's a natural human instinct to attack back even if they know they don't know what the hell they are talking about. Keep that in mind the next time you want to debate someone.

Yeah, I hear ya. And the more rational you are, the more they froth and scream.

It's like complaining that one can't discuss Kant at the Special Olympics.
