Sad misconceptions in todays world!

[Rub'Rum]

Trolling the slack? How? Saying "OMG slack you such a n00b LOL!"?

Um, I dunno, I thought trolling also meant to pull or reel, maybe in maritime or fishing terms? Actually we speak French here and I hear people use the anglicism "troll" to reel a fishing line something.

Anyway, I guess I should have said "reel the slack"

I am a bit confused about the thread.

Is this a thread to list what you think are sad misconceptions?

Or is this a thread to point at others sad misconceptions and then comment how crazy/wrong those viewpoints are in your opinion?

Because I see value in the first one....and all I see in the other is trouble.

I'm not sure what the value is in the first one either, since all anyone is doing is listing opinions or beliefs that they disagree with/think are wrong.

At least its cathartic to some degree.

But seriously, everytime I see people talk crap about spiders, I cry.

Two new misconceptions:

• There is no reason to say that Iwarpus is the illegitimate grandson of an alligator.
• Pelé was better than Maradona.

 

[Mango Elephant]

That one is true. The older you get, the more you realise that it is a true stament, not a misconception.

What if parents have a hermaphrodite as a child? What if they destory the child's vagina? What if the child is raised as a biological boy, but mentaly is a girl? In that case parents most certainly do not make the right decision.

Pelé was better than Maradona.

Not a misconception.

Misconception:
*Corinthians have always been brilliant

 

[Takhisis]

Well, actually, it's not a misconception, as that's in the past. After Maradona became a player, it became obvious that Maradona is better than Pelé.

 

[W|M]

Actually Pelé is impossible to beat. It would disobey the laws of Physics! Even if some kind of paradox happens, only a Brazilian can still become better.

O mais grande do mundo?

Ooh, misconceptions:
Attacking someone's beliefs is the same as calling them names.

An incorrect or illogical belief is worthy of respect simply because someone believes it.

Bringing up an objection to a scientific principal, no matter how unevidenced or trivial, means there are now two "sides" that deserve equal credence.

O mais grande do mundo?

Sim! (Yes! - Quote means 'The greatest in the world')

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

The USA engages in imperialism. Again, nope.

And this thread is doomed, because people must always bring ideology into it.

Alcohol kills braincells.

It doesn't?

Poland is Eastern European

 

[Takhisis]

Yes!!! You've finally accepted it!

Was supposed to be a misconception.

 

[Arakhor]

It's Central European at best, TLO

 

[TheLastOne36]

I never said it wasn't Central European. Never said it was Western European (even though it's closer to the West than the East).
