I remember reading about a kid who got suspended because he corrected his teacher, who was claiming that a kilometer is longer than a mile.

There's an image of the letter home, and basically the teacher was like "Whether I am right or wrong [child's name] should always accept what I say is truth without questioning it."

I lost the image on my last harddrive unfortunately...

Imagine living in a house with 4 "social science" undergrads, 2 of which are pothead philosophers, and being the only person with any reliable knowledge on science. That was my first year of university. The amount of bullshit I had to listen to AND "DEBATE" LOL has reminded me why ignorance and happiness seemingly go hand in hand.
Nice fellas, though. Couldn't do without 'em.

I have a few, some dumb bitch @ school

upon reading the word 'thesis' in class, she leans over to me "hey anon, whats a the sis ?'

we like to make fun of her:

"whats the capital of the united states?"
"america"

"whats the capital of Australia" (ausfags here)
"South Australia"
"thats a state"
"new Zealand"
"thats a country."
"Sydney?" (understandable, many make this mistake)

Friends were doing some 40 hour famine bullshit to raise money for kids in Africa- for those who dont know, basically you give up something and get sponsored (i didn't do it, just donated freehand) Upon someone suggesting she give up her i-pod she blurts out "would you ask them to give up their i-pod"

"what country is Cairo in"
"whats a Cairo?"

If i think of any more i'll come back, but thats just from the top of my head

Oh, best one.

My roommate claimed that "second-hand smoke can't cause cancer because [his] mom smokes and [he doesn't] have cancer". Also he claimed that the smoking/cancer correlation is a "leftist conspiracy".

Many Asians think that rain gets you sick, one of them being my mom. Apparently she went too far and made up some logic to why it seems so:
>"Brian, rain get you the sick because your skin suck in the water and make you the cold."
Her exact words.

History is a tricky subject to deal with. A man who studies history has its benefit applied to him in general rather than in a direct and easily identified manner, like with mathematics. With math, you can calculate and solve problems with identifiable restraints and factors.

History teaches you several things. Obviously it teaches the past, which is interesting in and of itself, but it also teaches critical thinking. You can read about historical events and then, based on your knowledge of the event, figure out why certain things occurred. The more you study it, the more you are able to figure out the reasoning behind events and why certain things are more likely to happen than others. This can then be applied socially with people. You can learn from the actions of people in the past to figure out how best to act socially or in the workplace.

To some degree, history helps you learn how to manipulate others into doing what you want. If history repeats itself because of ignorance, it's because the people who know their history are willingly causing it to repeat to their own advantage.

teacher was trying to demonstrate difference between fact and opinion. presented the idea of smoking being linked to lung cancer.

half of the class claimed it was an opinion, even after the teacher pointed out the overwhelming evidence. mf = pretty much every rage pic ever made
