    Mine has to be the whole "put down the elderly" thing, I've actually heard people who genuinely believe it's a good idea...

    The 'Bring Back/Introduce the Death Penalty' thing is hilarious. As is the 'All Dole Recipients are No-Good Scroungers' argument.

    Also contenders are the occasional threads about animals being better than humans, the oft-quoted idea that one particular political party are better or worse then any others, and finally the argument that people in certain geopolitical areas are better that those in others.

    Except the French, obviously. They're just evil.

    People who think the moon landing never happened, even when you tell them you can bounce lasers off mirrors that were left there by Gay Byrne.

    And watch them squirm when they realise cavemen had to have been living with dinosaurs for that to work. You see the cogs grinding to a halt and blank look until the mental gymnastics takes off. And comes out with the devil buried the fossils to confuse us..

    I've had some classics recently,

    "psychics are real"
    "a full moon makes people go mad"
    "dogs eyes attract lightening"
    "consoles are better than pc's"
    "horoscopes are true"
    "Coldplay are a good band"

    Sigh

    Full moons do make people mad. It's OK for scientist and their 'confirmation bias' baloney, they don't have to live in the real world.

    God damn science with all their proof and evidence they should just stick to gut feelings and knee jerk reactions.

    I actually had this ummm discussion shall we say with a psychiatric nurse too!

    On what logic ? full moon is closer to the earth and effects the fluids in the brain ? yes the moon has a slight elliptical orbit, but mostly it's not directly illuminated by the sun, that's whey you cant see all of it .....
