Really ignorant comments you've heard.
I think the all time most idiotic, ridiculous comment was one made by Jerry Falwell and his ilk about homosexuality: "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve". Excuse me, fuckhead, but there are LOTS of Adam and Steve's out there. There are, obviously, not just one screw loose in ol' Jer's head, but a whole freaking tool box of screws.

His comment is so completely insane and out of touch of reality that it's almost funny.

1. I actually knew a couple named Adam and Steve
Back in college days. They derived hours of entertainment from Falwell's comment.

I heard some kid talking about MLK day and he said "Why should we have a holiday because of some dead N-gger President got killed.”

11. It was Marie Antoinette
It is said that she said " Let them have / eat cake . " but many historians say that phrase was going around Europe way before she made her way to Paris . Meaning , its not known truthfully if she said that .

9. "I watch The Factor."
(at a pre-Christmas gathering of cousins)
Discussion of where you get your news.
A 70-something ex-Marine:
"I watch The Factor."
"Hunh? What's that?"
"On Fox. The O'Reilly Factor."
"Oh."

10. True story
A young woman I knew in college said "Isn't it weird that Jesus was given a Hispanic name?" That one still cracks me up.

I always thought the whole "people choose to be gay" belief was pretty damn ignorant.

Any of the Bushisms could be posted here as well.

26. I like "Turn" gay.
My mom cracks up about that one. We're always making jokes about people "turning" gay.

"She better not look at that tennis match too much. She might turn gay."

"His ex-wife was so mean to him. I wouldn't be suprised if he done turned gay."

19. Oh yeah, "Who would want to go to Washington?"
While in USAF pilot training (in Oklahoma) we get to take a class trip. A transport aircraft will be at our disposal for a long week end. It should be somewhere that has something to do with military aviation, a museum, air force base,etc. Washington, D.C. is on the approved list for the Smithsonian, Andrews AFB, the Pentagon, among others. We also figure the D.C. is probably the most swinging city on the list. Plenty of nightlife.

The vote is ALMOST unanimous, except for one farm boy from Kansas.
"Why the hell do y'all want to go way up there?"
"What are you talking about? Way up where?"
"Way up there to Washington. What is there to do up there?"
"Ed, we're talking about WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The nation's capitol. It's on the east coast. By Virginia."
"Oh...yeah?"
This 22 year old college graduate thought the capitol was in Washington state.

20. "The reason the health care system is so bad
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 12:31 PM by Rumpole
is because Hitlery's plan screwed everything up."

Very powerful plan, considering it was never put into effect.

21. "Tiger Woods is ok because he doesn't act black"
My wife's friends were complaining about black athletes, but they gave Tiger Woods an exemption from their tirade because he doesn't act black. Hell, I expect my old great-aunt to say things like that (she does all the time), but these guys are in their 20's -- you'd think they'd know better. Just goes to show that racism isn't the "solved problem" lots of people think it is.

22. "Democrats should just shut up and do whatever the Republicans say..."
"...and everything will be fine. All the Democrats want to do is start wars in Congress! They should just do what we say!"

Former idiot co-worker said that. I had no response, becuase I didn't think anyone could be that stupid.

My mother responded, "Your parents reside in separate bedrooms. What are you getting at?"

Geez.

29. GASP!!
I didn't own a car from the time I was 25 to 38. This was when I lived in SF. My ex-boyfriend piped up one time that I "need to start acting like an adult" and buy a fucking car. I reminded him of that remark whenever he couldn't find parking in the city.
