You actually believe that!

It is understandable for most of us to have a slight change in opinion about a person when we find out that they have differing views than us. When it comes to the big things such as religion,abortion etc these differing views can be the case of many a fight or a permanent rift...

However have you ever heard someone make a claim about something small or irrelavant and lost a good portion of your respect for them because to you they are so obviously wrong.

Like hearing someone believes sunday is the start of the week!no it's not that's why sunday is part of the weekEND the clue is the name you arse!

So anyone else hear someone make a claim over something little,yet you felt it was so stupid you thought the person has to be abit slow after hearing it?

Creationists really annoy me. I'm open to the chance of there being a God (not Christian) but you'd be a fool to reject evolution.

A friend of mine thinks humans can't exist outside of the Earth's atmosphere due to radiation. Even in spaceships. She thinks there have been no successful manned spaceflights.

She also thinks that some alien story has 50/50 chance of being true. I looked it up and all the evidence came from one man, and is a bad fake at best. E.g. different descriptions to photos etc. I showed her all this, and she thinks it's as likely that he was truthful as just made it up for a laugh.

Really cannot comprehend how people believe these types of things.

a friend of my OH was convinced that Kiwi fruit (same family of fruit as gooseberries) - was made by man.

When questioned about this, she said she had been told as as a child that it was the genetic offspring of someone splicing a tomato (explaining the seeds - in her mind - in the kiwi) & a peach (explaining the furriness of the skin of the kiwi) together.

This was of course scoffed at - then we brought her to wikipedia and showed her what it said, and then we look at a few other websites & a book about fairly basic plant genetics - that sort of thing;- and she point blank refused to accept that it was a natural fruit and persisted in her belief of it being created by man.

what. a. freaking. RETARD.

Nah there is no god. Science has a solution for everything.But i won't lose respect for people who think otherwise as some people need to believe in something to help then through.

That hurts my head. Her having a PHD in zoology makes about as much sense as a blind pilot

A blind pilot you say

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/blind-pilot-flies-from-london-to-sydney/29707/

A blind British pilot landed his micro light aircraft in Sydney on Monday to complete a record-breaking flight halfway around the world. Miles Hilton-Barber left London on March 7 and flew more than 21,000 kilometres to raise funds to fight blindness in developing countries.

“It’s the fulfillment of an amazing dream,” the 58-year-old adventurer said after touching down at Sydney’s Bankstown airport. “I’ve been wanting to do this flight for about four years.”

Hilton-Barber flies with a sighted co-pi lot but relies on speech output from his navigation instruments to steer his course, directing the plane from a wireless keyboard.

“I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was a kid. Now I’m totally blind and I’ve had the privilege of flying more than halfway around the world. The big deal is not me doing this, it’s raising funds,” he said.

Hilton-Barber, who has been blind for 25 years, hopes the trip will raise some $ 2 million for the charity Seeing is Believing, which works to cut the incidence of preventable blindness in developing countries.

He wasn't actually flying the microlight he was passenger for most of the trip giving occasional control whilst in the air. Have a read on a few other sites about him.

Yeah stopped watching 70's show after I heard that.

HYde and Malcom Middle's brother Francis are actually brothers in RL

Sunday is the start of the Jewish week and the end of the Christian week. Since Ireland is predominantly a Christian country, I'd say Sunday is the end of the week.

David Icke and several people in the Conspiracy Theories forum believe that repilian humanoids rule the world. This is something I'll never get my head around.

And someone thought that Firefly should be cancelled after less than one season. I'd rate Creationists above that idiot.

Referring to earlier posts (because I can't be arsed with quoting them) Sunday is the end of the week. The reason is that on the seventh day (Sunday) God, who had a s**thole of a week creating the world, humanity, animals, plants, viruses and light, was crackered and needed a break. And that bloody Adam and Eve were going at it like rabbits and eating all the apples. So he relaxed with a couple of Carlebergs, a packet of fags, and watched TV. It was during this time that he conceived the idea of creating Ireland, but realised that if he was not careful its occupants would take over the world. So on Monday he created Guinness. That is why Monday is the start of the week thoughout the civilised world. No argument.
