I love this thread :D
Quotes from one particular friend I have…
"Lactose intolerant is the one where you can’t eat gluten, yeah?" 
"So Osama, the American President… I didn’t know he was dead!” (sigh)
"Why do meerkats look different to other cats?"
Chemistry substitute teacher, poor bloke attempted to teach us…
“Magnesium has a larger atomic number than sodium, therefore it is larger!” (-.-)
“When using ‘avocado’s number’…” (yeah, no.)
“Chemistry is what you make of it…with chemistry, you can make love or you can make weed”

Basically this whole thread has been about people who don't take school seriously or aren't very intelligent naturally (or haven't been educated well).

How does this make you lose faith in humanity?

Are you saying that less intelligent people are less of a human being?


Jealousy, corruption, selfishness. These things should make you lose faith in humanity. Not your Specialist Maths teacher having interests other than maths and consequently making a few mistakes.

Nothing wrong with being less intelligent than the norm, but a widespread lack of common sense does not bode well.

Mate you're not off to a very good start on here considering the fact that you've posted five comments tonight and already have negative respect...

Take it easy and keep calm on here. We're lucky to have access to a forum like this.

I agree, but at the same time, their are complete idiots (or I know a few at least) who are still good people and make me happy to be human.

At the same time, their are complete intellectuals (like Hitler for one) who do not make me very happy to be human.


I just think that there are values in people that are more important than their outputs in their chosen field.

I think you guys are taking the title of the thread "Things that your peers say that makes you lose faith in humanity." way too literally. What we mean is general "facepalm" moments lol.

I hope you realise that just because my yr11 English teacher said a LOT of stupid things, I haven't really lost faith in humanity (I did lose faith in her ability to teach though). It's just a joke guys, clam down a bit :)

Guys don't feed the troll. Let them starve and die.

Regardless, here are some of my faves.

-People who claim that they speak multiple languages, but can only say hello, goodbye, and count 1-10.
-People who call psychology, witch doctoring.
-And the guy that can interpret a digital clock, but can't interpret an analogue clock.

Last one is so stressful in a work enviroment where you have to time room to go out of time. >.<
‎"We divert our attention from disease and death as much as we can; and the slaughter-houses and indecencies without end on which our life is founded are huddled out of sight and never mentioned, so that the world we recognize officially in literature and in society is a poetic fiction far handsomer and cleaner and better than the world that really is."
- William James.

Bagging your English teacher? Make sure you make no errors in your post next time :P. Unless clam down means something else.
