    I've got a legal education, so people often assume it's spiffy to make insistences about their unique ideas regarding what's legal or not. Like the various internet-type people who are adamant that the internet exists outside of any jurisdiction, basically outside the world itself like some kind of magical realm, where no rules and no laws apply. Heh.

    :edit:
    Also, an interesting one - from YouTube.

    Seriously, what the hell? "The plural of "medium" is "media", so if you're talking about more than one medium you say "mediums". It truly does beggar belief, and comprehension.

    Oh yes, Rye reminded me of my parents being racist too. It makes me lol and headdesk at the same time. They are really opposed to gay marriage and Mexicans. Oh, and Indians. But mostly Mexicans. Even though their gardeners are Mexicans... I dunno, they are crazy straight off the boat people even though they've been living here for 30 years.

    "New Zealand... that's part of Australia, right?"

    Some retard said this to some British guy in my class:
    "What language do you speak in England?"

    The idiocy kills me.
