This is a thread about stupid things that you've heard people say. I don't know if this has been posted before, just tell me if it has and point me to that thread.
The last stupid thing that I've heard someone say is that a guy i know said is essentially summed up with the phrase "Even though things have similarities, they cannot be compared because they have differences". What are you going to compare if not for the different way they interpret the same/similar topic?
Conversations with the guy would go like this - Me: "Armageddon and Deep Imapact are both about a giant rock from space that is going to destroy Earth and people try to stop it" Him: "No, they're completely different!" Me: "How are they completely different?" Him: "One starts with a meteor shower and the other starts with kids looking into space" Me: "That doesn't stop them from being similar" Him: "But they start differently!" Me: *facepalm*
And then he get's pissed and says that the description of "giant rock from space that is going to destroy Earth and people try to stop it" is too vague of a description and says that i might as well say that they're both movies and that's how might as well compare all movies. I'm not going to get Armageddon confused with "Schindler's List" am i?
"Islams" as in individuals.

you know those pack of cookies in the store, and it says "72 calories per biscuit"?
well, one time I was in the store and I head 3 women talking about it saying "oh, it has 72 calories in the entire pack?"
"that's what it says!"
"Is Nokia Japanese?"
"Today we'll be learning about euthanasia."
"Miss, where's that?"
"The US is a country"

Teacher:"Black people were used as slaves, but the white people didn't mind if they ran off, because they could find the slave anytime they want thanks to skin colour"
Classmate:"Why didn't they just use white paint to make themselfs look white sir?!"

I was showing my friend my HL2 mod when his friend shows up and says "What's that?"
"My Source mod"
"What's Source"
"It's a game engine, HL2 and L4D run on it"
"I like L4D"
"I can make maps for it"
"You just said you can make maps for HL2 (he doesnt know what it is)"
"Yes, I can make maps for Source games"
"L4D isn't called Source"
"No, but they use the same engine"
"So what?"
"So, I can make maps for any game using the Source engine"
[B]"Just because it's the same engine doesn't mean you can make maps for it[/B]

I think you're mocking me because you think I'm trying to show how intelligent i am when really I'm pointing out that people don't even have something basic like common sense to know when they don't understand something.
For example, i don't understand complex math problems. But i know that and don't try to claim i know anything about it.
Also, the same guy i was talking about in the OP claims that he's creating something 100% original and still doesn't understand the comparisons to similar things. I'm assuming that he thinks I'm calling him a rip off when that's not what i mean.
We can't go on like this. I'll cut the deficit, not the NHS.

Every social group on Earth does this. Why can't we join in the fun?
I was beneath the night sky once, discussing stars, galaxies, etc. Bloke next to me proclaims "Science takes the beauty out of things".
"Could you elaborate?"
"Once you know the workings of something there's no beauty left in it."
I could have tried to explain the workings of a black hole, how they evaporate, how the radioactive jets form above them, how two colliding black holes could produce closed time-like curves. But I thought fuck it, and told him to go back to his cave. We both said stupid things that night.
At school one day, I was wearing a "Free Libya" bracelet, and some trashy chick asked, "Who's Libya?" I just calmly replied, "Well you see, Libya is a country near Egypt. There's a lot of shit going down over there, you might wanna check it out."
I almost flipped out over how dumb she was. You're a junior for God's sake!

Listening to Rob Zombie's Reload.
Girl: "Hey, is that like dubstep?"
Me: "........you gotta be fucking kidding me."
I once heard someone talking about how they can't play TF2 on the PC with a mouse and keyboard because in order to rocket jump they have to walk forward, push the mouse up and then fire which means they fire a rocket straight up.

"Why is there a monument to the Titanic?"
"Because a lot of people died, [REDACTED]"
"Oh, I thought it was a film."
