Or you could mention who invented the language.

"Well, when you have been around as long as I have, you'll realize that [my incredibly racist viewpoints] are justified."

"I have

I don't give a shit how old you are, you still need logic and evidence to support what you are saying.

"Why is space dark if the Sun's up there?"

Haha that almost has a kind of dumb logic to it. It's tempting to think of an answer. Sounds like something a philosophy class might discuss (in my stereotypical imagination).

I thought I could get a laugh from this thread.  It's mostly the "what the fuck did I just see?" nervous laugh, though.
Still, posting to get this on my unread replies list.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This guy needs to die in a hole. I would sign up for the muslim genocide just so I can kill this guy with my own hands.

And proceed to walk home, take a shower, eat dinner and regret being so rash about it. Then realize that murder was okay in his books, so I didn't actually murder him! <--- his logic


Okay guys, now quote everything I just said and tell me how stupid I am. I feel like just copy-pasting that dropped my IQ by a few dozen.

Okay.

Vindication doesn't justify murder. So no matter how ironic it might be, killing him isn't proving anything but how becoming a monster to fight monsters is a vicious and stupid cycle.

Done :P

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

As long as he doesn't have the means to do it, I'm afraid you can't do anything about it.

But if you ask me, these people aren't even worth killing.

I was going to post some gems from my stormfront travels, but then I realized it would be best to just not give them any attention. But then I realized that there's no fun in that and it makes for a pointless post, so here:

Here's another one:

Racist - a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others Ya stupid NOT-ZEE...

And I haven't even gotten into the whole "YOU ANTI-WHITE JOO!" bullshit cop-out they all use for damn near every "argument" on the entire fucking site.. I just wish it was easier to find more outspoken racists in public to humiliate.

edit: btw, David Duke and Tom Metzger were (are?) in the KKK... Duke was the grand wizard for fucks sake. Seriously, this guy is that kid's role model?

Haha that almost has a kind of dumb logic to it. It's tempting to think of an answer. Sounds like something a philosophy class might discuss (in my stereotypical imagination).

It looks dark because there's nothing up there for the light to reflect off of. If you went to space, then you would see light reflected off of you in the direction that the sun was shining. That's why there is daytime on planets and moons, but space seems dark. By the way I'm not explaining this to you, so don't think that I think you're stupid, I'm just posting an answer to the question.

I've worked 15 years in technical support. I've forgotten more stupid questions/comments than most of you could ever dream of.
That said, one of the recurrent ones that makes me want to pull a Lewis Black-style rant every time I hear it is some variant of this:

"I don't understand how it could be broken. It was working fine yesterday!"
NO FUCKING SHIT. That's kind of the definition of broken: i.e. it used to work, and now it doesn't. Welcome to the principle of entropy, bitches!

That would have resulted in a sanity-draining tome like something out of Lovecraft. Here, try this on for a smattering of the sorts of things we're exposed to (and you understand why the average turnover for a new tech support hire is about 6 months):

"The latest occupy movement was to protest the idea of a job."

A complaint about how much oil there is in the US that we aren't drilling, for the sake of those damn pristine forests, followed by a friend pointing out that Jesus is coming back soon so we won't have to worry.

Some ridiculous survivalist bullshit about stocking up on ammo.

I have a friend with fundamentalist parents. They're morally opposed to recycling on similar theological grounds: that the Earth was made to be used up by humans, and that Jesus will return and wipe it all out when the environment is exhausted.

WWJD? Apparently He'd leave the water running and all the lights on. >_<

So I was browsing FSTDT, and I found...this. Let the crazy wash over you.

Hahahahaha the first thing I saw on here was "I am repulsed by the though of being 'barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen.'"

My first thought is, "What if you're pregnant, you don't feel like putting your socks and shoes on and you're hungry for some lunch?"  This lady is doomed.
