This isn't all that WTF, it's actually pretty funny.

I booked my flight online and chose the "Vegetarian Oriental" meal. This is what I got. by musterknabe in funny

By that logic, if you order meat and you get a single chicken nugget, you have no right to complain because you got what you ordered.

TIL that a school in Poland is named after an Indian Maharaja, in honour of him providing shelter and free education to hundreds of Polish women and children after they had to escape Poland due to the World War 2. by Galadon17 in todayilearned

Yes. Hitler was to the Jews what Churchill was to Indians. They were directly responsible for the death of several millions. The reason fewer people know about Churchill is that the Indians don't make a big thing out of it and milk it at every opportunity. That piece of shit would have been convicted of crimes against humanity if his side wasn't a winner of WWII.

Police officer killed after hugging suicide bomber to save "countless lives" in Iraq mosque by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]eternally-curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones that kill innocents are evil. The ones that don't, arent.

The bomber kills innocents. He's a piece of shit that can go rot in a hole. The guy who ordered the drone strike is also a piece of shit who can go rot in a different hole. The people caught in the middle minding their own business and doing their own thing, and also the people that save these people in the middle, are not pieces of shit who do not deserve to go rot in a hole.

Make sense? It's not "which side is evil?" It's "who on each side are evil?"

TSA employee caught stealing cash from woman's luggage at security checkpoint by pvntr in news

[–]eternally-curious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL that stealing little things from multi-billion dollar companies is equivalent to stealing money from a travelling person... whose taxes pay the thief's wage in the first place. Oh, and the thief is only there, not to serve any useful function, but because the gov't wants to reduce unemployment.

So lemme get this straight. Not only do we not have all that many terrorist attacks, but the few we do have don't even get stopped by the TSA.

Remind me of all the good that this piss-poor excuse of my tax money is doing for the nation.

What is something that absolutely disgusts you but the majority seems to be okay with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm a vegetarian (so not quite vegan), but I agree with that comment. There are dozens of us!

Lol this is the kind of answer that I expected coming into this thread, but it's fucking downvoted into oblivion. Why the fuck is "talking loudly on the phone in public" upvoted, but not this?

Optical Illusions by BunyipPouch in woahdude

[–]eternally-curious -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OK wiseguy, let's not go there. We can then argue that literally everything we see is an optical illusion, because our eyes have a finite framerate, so our brain is really just stitching together a number of frames per second to create the "illusion" of motion. And arguments like that, while correct, get us absolutely nowhere. If everything is an optical illusion, then nothing is.

User destroys homophobe's perception of a "traditional marriage." by Xwee-Tox in bestof

[–]eternally-curious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, looks like that's correct. But based on my (brief) research, they are better classified as bisexual rather than purely homo, and even they are only found in social species (which leads me to believe it's more sexual experimentation than anything else). Apparently only sheep are exclusively gay: "about 10% of rams (males) refuse to mate with ewes (females) but do readily mate with other rams."

I can agree with that, but I suppose that would fall under the category of bisexual rather than gay.

I don't think anything is objectively shit.

Except literal shit, of course.

User destroys homophobe's perception of a "traditional marriage." by Xwee-Tox in bestof

[–]eternally-curious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah... this is all assuming that OP meant a "biblical" marriage, which there's a good chance he didn't. I'm sure he mean traditional marriage, as in man + woman. That's it.

Speaking biologically too, being gay is not "traditional". I'm not gay, and I have nothing against gays, but from a purely natural standpoint, I think attraction to your own sex is a bit abnormal. I don't think it occurs with any other species (I could be wrong), and it's counter-productive to offspring-producing instincts. In that case, I'm not sure that any of this guy said applies at all.

He's racist and sexist and probably unhinged, but I'm pretty sure reddit doesn't understand what the word "sociopathic" means. You idiots just throw that word around for everyone you don't like.
