I don't use buzzwords. Aside from the colloquial, "dude" or "man" (peppered with the odd obscenity if I'm around friends), at the end of every other sentence, my diction is remarkably clean.

My hobby leads to some interesting discussions with uninformed laypeople. I'm an historical re-enactor, I re-create aspects of the European Middle Ages. Quite often, people assume that what they see in movies is a perfectly accurate portrayal of history.
This includes things like:
*I should be wearing a horned helmet because I'm a Norse ('Viking') re-enactor
*It's fundamentally wrong to drink white wine at a medieval feast, because they only had red wine in those days
*Everyone in the old days was stupid and filthy, and the evil church conspired to keep everyone that way for control
*Western Martial Arts didn't exist; European historical combat is all about brute force and flailing a sword around until you hit something
*Old Europe was terrible because everyone thought the world was flat until Columbus (HAH!), and women had no freedom or independence or power
I don't mind people thinking these things. It's completely understandable. But what I do mind is that they keep insisting they're right, even after I explain what it was really like, and point out that I'm involved in two organisations that research and re-create this stuff, and that I've studied it at university and in my own time.
Yep. That's another one that gives me headaches.*Old Europe was terrible because everyone thought the world was flat until Columbus (HAH!), and women had no freedom or independence or power
Another fun one- "Wiccans were burned at the stake in Salem!" I've heard that claim multiple times, and each time I die a litle inside. (Yes, people have specifically said Wiccans) And then I get insulted when I point out all of the ways that claim fails.
I dislike people like this, considering I tend to like to think about things rationally and logiclly most of the time.
Unfortunatly for me, alot of my friends act like this, so I have gotten very good to become apathetic towards most arguments and just avoid the topics most of the time.
Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

but i suppose thats just how it is.. they say they have evidence and the stupid people get suckered in.. nobody even wonders how the hell they came up with "a million years ago.." when the furthest we can go back in carbon dating is about 20 to 40.000 years.
This is now a faith vs science thread
there was a picture here
I hate faith (people generally abuse faith in a buzzword form, plus it's mosty guesswork anyway) and have less respect for science than I used to (people generally abuse scientific study in a buzzword form, plus it's mostly random findings caused by guesswork).
Stop discussing them in my thread bitches unless you're discussing how misused they are.
