I missed my psychology class because I was sick, so today I went and talked to the teacher about the test I missed. We agreed that I'd take it after class... and then I immediately turn around and ask the person in front of me what we did on the day I missed.

Oh dear, *hopes this isn't a necro*
Anyway, I was browsing around someone's profile on some site. Under "hobbies" the only thing they put "Learning new things" and under "things I hate" they put "Questioning everything, it gets on my nerves when people do that, just let things be"
So... How do you learn new things if you don't question them?

"Christianity was the first religion in the world" He originally said that Judaism was the oldest religion, but later corrected it to Christianity. Either way, it's NO. Just... NO.

I was at a wedding, and the pastor said that marriage didn't exist before the Bible.
Okay, I may not know much about the history of marriage, but I'm 99.9% sure that's bullshit.

This one came from me... >_> I was watching Pitbulls and Parolees Saturday night when Tia and her son went to visit New Orleans. On the bottom of the screen it said New Orleans, Louisiana. I had said: "New Orleans isn't in Florida?!" Felt so stupid after that because I went for the longest time thinking New Orleans was in Florida. >_<

"You need rigid, military like discipline to be successful. Rigid, strict guidelines builds character. It helps you think creatively." -my biology teacher Umm...what? Being confined to rigid standards and being forced to be a docile bitch aids critical thinking?
Rigid standards, like self-discipline, can help you with critical thinking and logic skills. Creativity came come through as you express yourself and are able to channel and focus it. Self-discipline is what allows me to finish a project I start. Setting strict guidelines for myself in regards to project dates and project completion helps me keep from just flaking off and playing WoW all day.
And docile?
Heh. Being docile would be a big switch for me.
A dumb thing I heard today: "The internet is a threat to free speech, and the government needs to be able to regulate it and eliminate the sense of power that people get from being anonymous."

I'm sure I've heard lamer, but actually, this one takes the cake.
It was quite a few years ago, when I was still in high school. I was at a former friend's place for whatever reason, and we were having dinner with her parents and one of her brothers. Her mother was telling her that she had to do something, I forget what it was, and that it was to take place the following Wednesday. And then my friend, I'll call her T, literally said, and I quote...
"But Wednesdays cramp my style!"
o.O What...the...hell?
I seriously just sat there in my chair, staring at her weirdly. I didn't say or do anything, I was staying out of the argument, as I always did, but man I was just baffled! That's the lamest excuse EVER.

So my sister is having two baby showers (as it is totally apparent that both my mom and dad's side of the family can't get along for as little as two seconds.) My sister was invited to the one on my dads side, but not for the mother's side (which was/is today) I'm like, it is for her and her kid-to-be, why the fuck can't she help plan it? I would understand if it was a surprise, but it's not, you're excluding her without a valid reason (which is a reason why I didn't go even though my "presence was requested".) Idiots.

Stemmed from a tiny conversation I had with my sister just now... I mentioned I was learning German and she asked if I were white would I be a Nazi. Sure, because German is a Nazi language amirite? She also seems to think there aren't intelligent Nazis in existence. >_> She said it's like saying "I'm Morman and a democrat." My brain tried to process why she would think this way, it hurt a little.

I was at the mall, and I was walking by a Nativity scene when I overheard a woman saying "Ugh, I can't believe they're putting religion into Christmas too." I had to resist the urge to bash my head against a wall.
LOL! That one is going in my list of quotes.

A particularly brilliant flash of stupid happened in my debate class today: The debate teacher gave a prompt out of nowhere ("The most moral force in the universe is profit") and selected if we were "for" or "against" this. My table was one of the ones selected for 'against,' and Kendall (only other girl at my table) said she didn't understand. Will (boy at my table) and I broke it down for her, but she was still confused since "profit has two words!" or something like that. Turns out she was confusing profit and prophet. Don't say it's excused because they sound the same, because the grammar in the prompt wouldn't have allowed the word to be 'prophet' and what the fuck would prophets have to do with morals? Yikes. What you pointed out regarding the misunderstanding of the same sounding words is pretty funny. But to me personally, the project itself appears to me to be an exercise in stupidity. How is someone to decide either against or for the innate goodness of profit as force? Profit--in a monetary and broad sense--is the accumulation wealth, and in and of itself is neither moral nor immoral. If I sell a good or perform a service, and I get paid for it, I have profited. If I buy land, I lose money, but profit in real estate...well, not so much these days...but anyway. If I rob someone of her diamond necklace, I profit...until I get caught. But hopefully you see my point that profit is itself neutral, morally speaking. What can be done with said profit, and how profit is accumulated in the first place, are certainly worth moral considerations, but those moral or immoral actions reflect the decisions of humans, not profit itself. As far as being a force of 'moral good or not in the universe,' it smacks of gibberish because we are called upon to judge the moral status of an abstract concept existing outside of morality which is a mere tool. One might as well drone on and on about whether or not a piece of chalk is a force of moral good in the universe! Your debate teacher appears to be wasting time on this subject when there are numerous topics that actually merit debate because they are not an exercise in futility. Profit is no more moral or immoral than a tree. Now, a moral or immoral person may do a great many things with a tree. You can, if you like, worship the tree, as did the ancients and the modern, most extreme of environmentalists. Or you can cut down the tree and give a poor man a house in which to live. Or you can cut it down and beat your neighbor to death with a club. If you like, you can grab a rope and hang yourself on it. Or, you can hang Christmas lights on it in the winter, as I do, to feel festive. But whatever actions you take regarding the tree, there is never a point in time in which the tree is either bengin or malevolent. Profit, unlike a tree, is of course immaterial as a concept. But the material example holds true, since they both have in common moral neutrality. For or against profit as a theoretical force of good in the universe??? How absurd! What bullshit, LOL! Might as well say "For or against a wagon wheel as a force of good in the universe?"! What an utter waste of time. : ( What a sophomoric exercise in sophistry on the part of your teacher to mind-fuck the young. What could possibly be his point? To advance some logically flawed, hardcore collectivist-esque philosophy about the supposed innate evil of profit for the con side? You have my sympathies, Awesomesauce. This is really one of those situations in which, peculiarly enough, both the pro and con sides are wrong because profit is not innately good or evil. The rest of this is speculation of why your teacher did this. I can't think of any other reason why he would assign such a project. I could be wrong, but I'd be surpised if I were. So, even in academia today, few professors and teachers still cling to the flawed notion that profit is evil, and that's saying something. Now, let's shoot this down once and for all: If those in academia truly believe that profit is evil, how can they be employed anywhere? Why do they not all gravitate to a particular non-monetary commune? Why do they continue to support such an evil system of receiving a profit for their teaching? Oh, that's right, "Profit really isn't evil, it's the greedy industrialists that are the problem" in their eyes. Or howabout this one. The argument charmingly stands on something like this: "Profit is evil, but we're not making a profit. After all, we're public servants." Right, because only the greedy capitalists are capable of making a profit, apparently, even though both are being paid and are profiting financially from that pay. PROFESSOR LOGIC FAIL! : ( Apparenly, income is only profit when your income is above the teachers' salaries. I simply cannot help but bask in the irony that this sophistry is occuring in a debate class, where you're supposed to be learning how to reason. Hard to reason properly about a debate proejct when the project is itself worthy of being on the list of the stupidist things ever heard. *cries*
