End dumb womans like those suffrage
I would just like to state that I am definitely for women's suffrage.
[QUOTE=CoolCorky;24167211]A lot of them probably just mis-heard it as "Women's Suffering" [editline]11:01PM[/editline] Also why did this girl have so many sausage pizza kits: [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/sausagepizza.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Sausage have another meaning you know :smug:
This is clearly supposed to be a knock on the school, the people filming were probably from another school.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;24167669]This is clearly supposed to be a knock on the school, the people filming were probably from another school.[/QUOTE] It could also be a study on whether or not cameras make people more agreeable, or whether feeling pressure makes people more agreeable.
[QUOTE=Penultimate;24167609]I would just like to state that I am definitely for women's suffrage.[/QUOTE] You want the women of today to continue with suffrage? What a twisted person.
[QUOTE=Penultimate;24167719]It could also be a study on whether or not cameras make people more agreeable, or whether feeling pressure makes people more agreeable.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but look at the intro about "Hey, this is supposed to be a great school!" As if they were to say "Look at all the idiots inside!"
I'm relatively good with words the kind of lateral-thinking that would stop me getting caught out by stuff by that, but if I was in that situation I probably wouldn't think twice about signing the petition, because there's a harmless geeky-looking person holding a microphone, with a cameraman. Mutual judgements and social conditioning and peer pressure and all that bollocks. I never knew 'suffrage' meant someone's right to vote, either. Just one of those things that catches you out. 'Sufferage' and 'suffering' are pretty similar when you don't have time to compare them. The girl that annoyed me more was the one who was like "there is no women's suffering anymore, it's all ended!" She has noooo global perspective whatsoever. Ignore the whole 'rape culture' and female circumcision traditions of certain African cultures...

[QUOTE=mastermaul;24165973]Reminds me of [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw[/media][/QUOTE] THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. In one of the cities next to mine, they banned "dihydrogen-oxide" for a week until they finally realized what it was.
[QUOTE=Snail562;24168056]THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

[QUOTE=Mexican;24165906]If you consider knowledge of an archaic word that is no longer used a "high standard"[/QUOTE] I knew about that word since I was 13. :colbert:
[QUOTE=bravehat;24168191]I knew about that word since I was 13. :colbert:[/QUOTE] I learned that word in 8th grade, and these were college students. :doh:
How stupid can you be
Never even heard that word before so I'm not suprised.
Suffrage is a word that middle and high schoolers should know, which is what makes that hilarious. I don't like the dihydrogen monoxide thing though, because not everyone knows chemistry and if someone is clearly suggesting that 'dihydrogen monoxide' is bad, then you can't blame them for signing.

Most of these things are just smartasses trying to make people look stupid by using terms that no one uses to trick people.
ITT: People who don't realize any moron can ask a ton of a people a stupid question and edit out all the smart ones.

[editline]04:27PM[/editline] You see, it's funny because the guy asked questions using a misleading word that is basically a homophone for a more negative word. Not everyone is a nerd, not everyone will remember these things.
I don't either but if the standard of teaching in America is that low, then by fucking god you need all the help you can get. Also if you have even a modicum of interest in history you will know what suffrage means. And don't say no one cares about history, "He who doesn't learn from history is destined to repeat it."
Guys let's end black suffrage! It's been too long!
It isn't low teaching, it's not particularly high...caring.
Oh god i think i might make a facebook group and see how many of my female friends will join. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] inb4 no friends

[QUOTE=bravehat;24168191]I knew about that word since I was 13. :colbert:[/QUOTE] I know about it too I just generally forget what it means until something like this pops up. If someone came up to me in the streets and asked me what it meant I'd probably have to think about it. Of course I'd never sign anything if I didn't know what they're talking about.

When the guy student told the girl what suffrage meant I was all like :smug:
