Stupid Crap Teachers Told You

[The Rich Port]

lol I'm from Texas and here, the schools have a bible study club.

I'm just gonna sit back and watch all the Atheists freak out at the above statement.

You know what's funny? They closed down the Christian club at my school. NOBODY FREAKIN' WENT, :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Seriously, though, those guys were Jesus Camp rip-offs, even I could tell, and I wanted to join. But after they got into how horrible homosexuality was, I got up and walked away. I had enough of that crap in Puerto Rico, I'm not going to tolerate it in the States

I'm surprised. I thought I'd get more of a reaction. I was looking forward to the "omg those texans are so backwards and evil and stupid and they hate gays and dont want women to have abortions so i sit here and get all mad about it on the internet" remarks.

Glad I surprised you. :D No offence, but I like to make fun of Protestants. THOSE are REAL easy to piss off.

A third of Texans believe that people and dinosaurs were sauntering around in the desert, together.

That's a load of shit.

Which means no one really cares what Texas teaches in it's schools. Sorry.

You clearly do. You and all your atheist friends sit around and bitch about how bad the world is because of Christianity all the time.

[Wilgrove]

Oh, I got one that will piss all the women off.

This was a religious class that I had to take when I was in Community College, and this guy was a Non-Denominational Pastor. He actually said that God has a plan for everyone, and if your plan is to get preggers, then you're going to get preggers. Even if God has to get someone to rape you, you will get Preggers.

At that point, I just stopped listening to him.

An actual community college? You know, every time I view threads like this I become simultaneously happy and shocked that I live in one of the most progressive states in the country.

Yea, this was in the Summer of 2004, and I had to take three classes during the Summer. Guess who taught all three! He spent most of the time preaching instead of teaching anything relevant to the course work.

Here's another one of his little gems: He talked about how his wife and him would go to the video rental store, and go rent a movie. They would go home and if the movie had a certain amount of curse words, they'd take it back and demand a refund. I'm like Dude....there's a thing call a Rating System....look into it!

He also tries to get a meal for two for the price of one at restaurants because his wife and him are of one flesh....

Yea, I'm sure Jesus is real proud of this fella.

Which community college was it? Or at least which state or region of America is it in?

North Carolina, USA.

In high school, my Advanced Placement US Government teacher told me that the United States was a Christian nation. When I pointed out that many of the founding fathers were atheists or deists, she told me that Deism was a sect of Christianity.

So, share the stupid shit you've been told by teachers over your life.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT??!! Somebody fire that idiot! Or get him to stop teaching the damn thing. Stage Diving Jesus Christ, I thought that was the class that DIDN'T brainwash you into all that crap.

Well, technically, yes, Deism is a sect of Christianity, but it barely follows any modern doctrine, ESPECIALLY the Bible; Thomas Jefferson, a noted Deist, tore his up and made his own, copying down the ones he believed and leaving out the ones he didn't. And I'm pretty sure Benjamin Franklin was into Satanism... but that one needs further research. O.O

So glad my AP US History teacher is Jewish. I doubt he'll be making stupid claims like this.

Jewish teacher rock

[Riveara]

One of my teachers was preaching about how vindictive justice was wrong, and we should only use reformation justice. Then I countered with "What about people who like killing, you cannot reform them unless you preform a lobotomy."

His teaching style was kinda like this: "I don't want to tell you how to think, but this is right."

[Ryadn]

In our defense, we'd probably say less stupid stuff if we weren't busy being poor and miserable.

[Grave_n_idle]

That's a load of shit.

You apparently know that. I know that.

Apparently, a third of Texans didn't get that memo.

You clearly do.

Nope. Couldn't care less.

Well, maybe I could. Like - if there was something on worth watching... the new Doctor Who or something, I might be able to care just a teeny bit less.

You and all your atheist friends sit around and bitch about how bad the world is because of Christianity all the time.

Most of my friends are Christians, actually. Blame the part of the country where I live, I guess.

Perhaps you're mistaking me for someone who cares about the confrontation you apparently want to have?

I don't.

[The Rich Port]

why? probably 90+% of the dems are Christian too.
Was he making any argument based on that, or simply stating a fact?

Don't really care no more. It was a dumb statement, anyways. Besides, I'm a Socialist, so I could give a crap what the Dems think,

Teachers are hardly the poorest profession.

one of my teachers a libertarian said that George w bush caused global warming by nuking the caps

Then I'd imagine religion wouldn't really be the first thing to put you off from the repubs, its sort of secondary to them hating you for being a communist

I wouldn't have been impressed with your debate skills if I was your teacher, either.

That one is NEW, never heard of that before! I have gotta write that one down...

[Lackadaisical2]

How do you know he didn't?

[Greater Americania]

You apparently know that. I know that.

I was referring to your claim that that's the belief of a third of Texans. It's a load of crap.

I'll believe about anything you say about your teachers... but I am pretty sure if your teacher said this then he/she had to be joking or being satirical

You're only miserable because you choose to be, and you teachers usually aren't that poor. When I interned with Ohio's AOS Performance Audit, I usually found that teachers were making substantially more than the community average before benefits (usually about 25%).

And Ohio's school funding situation is totally jacked. The Supreme Court has found it to be unconstitutional at least four times.

SOCIALIST. And, no, I'm pretty sure my religious outrage was the first thing that came to my mind when I got off the plane. The Socialist-hating came AFTER I told them I was registered Socialist

Finally, the day has come where Jewish teachers have their own rock genre.

no i serious he wasn't joking it was in a private school

[ILYLOL]

My teachers have told me so many times, "Due on Friday!" then goes to get everyone to tell that, then it ends up being due on Thursday? WHAT!? I mean, seriously?

They're mostly pretty miserable, though. I haven't met one teacher that has said "I got my bills all paid, and I'm taking my vacation days this week!" Actually, I have only seen one or two teachers who sincerely SMILE

My 4th grade teacher sent me to the principals office for correcting her statement that Mt. Everest is the tallest in the world. I pointed out that it was actually Mauna Kea. I argued the point, got the class encyclopedia out to prove her wrong and she sent me to the office for insubordination and 'back talk'. As I left the class she was saying that underwater mountains didn't count.

While the various incidents are too numerous to list, I could make my high school history teacher visibly flinch by raising my hand. I did kind of feel sorry for the guy since the class was full of idiots who had had trouble reading the textbook, much less listening to anything that wasn't about sports, but hopefully I helped his next class out a bit. Various examples include spelling Afghanistan with a 'ph', the airplane being invented in 1914, and the locomotive being invented in the US.

I guess you didn't get the joke, or my meaning.
