I heart stupidity. When you see it, post it here. I'll start.

Some of you know that I've do some teaching of first year sociology students in university. I really enjoy it, and love my students, but -GAWD- grading their work is a nightmare.

Through the course of a year, they have to write short essays on a range of topics ---feminism, Karl Marx, education, Freud, crime, etc. I feel kinda guilty laughing at these because of course they are writing under extreme pressure, but holy bobo I find them funny! Every so often, they write something so frickin' hysterical that it makes me gag laughing. These fleeting gems, I collect. Thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

Here we go. (nb, all typos and grammar boo boos are theirs from here on, not mine)

"Education is not really as old as many people think. It all came about in
the 1960s when the Russians were more advanced with outerspace."

"There is no evidence of women in society until the late 1990s"

"Freud is the classic theory of gender he believes the boy has the penis the girl has the clitoris simple as that"

"Freud said that a boy who plays too many dolls might be a p_ssy in later life"

"Feminists think women are the lowest of the low"

"Education is bias it only works for children who come from families where the parents are rich white and male"

"Hitlar believed in the destroying the Jews, however, his dictation only lasted until he was alive, after it was forgotten."

"Weber saw society from his eyes"

"someone from the low class is no good to us. we don't see them as nonsuccessful. That is because of sociology"

"Max Weber is a known and accredited sociologist"

"All around us in our society it is, said to be all around us these 'bureacracy' for example God is higher than Jeesus. The boss."

Then there was the time that I taught a lesson about the interossiter. It took a full 25 minutes before a pupil put up their hand and said " Sir, are you making this up?"

Oh boy, I could fill this thread up! Just ask Momiss. I guess my most recent stupid tale would be last week when someone idiotically took my truck to fill up at the gas station, forgot it has no turning radius and smashed the front end into a concrete column. And when I say someone, I mean ME.
Hmmmm........ And just to put her out there, Momiss's specialty in the kitchen is her tuna casserole. She's been making it as long as I've been alive, and it's about the only thing she can do well consistently. One night she makes it, and I take a bite and notice something funny about it. But I can't quite put my finger on it. After dinner, she goes into the kitchen to clean up, and finds the problem - she forgot to put the effin tuna in the casserole. What a twit. :)

Haha, you have no idea how many times I've gone to make a grilled cheese sandwich and forgotten to slap a rubbery slice of Kraft's finest between the Wonder twins. On the bright side, butterfried bread is pretty tasty too...

OK gathered some sufficiently-stupid stuff from work:

Poppy-trapped cars (I think the translator was too shy to say booby)
Peach Partnership (because Peace is so overrated and out-dated now)
Mortal Silence (the sequel)

The Arab League of Carrots! (In Arabic, Gozor means Islands, Gazar means carrots).

And finally, I leave you with this sentence, which I have not altered in any way:

It seems that TOSNAMI DIASTER which strikes the ASIAN coasts and KATRIN hurricane which galls south USA are just like a warning to the earth people.

Okay, so I don't know what it is about final exams that REALLY brings out the stupid in people, but I've been marking, and I have SO much evidence of this phenomenon right now.

Here's what the current crop of first-year sociology students have to say about things. They were asked questions dealing with the family, crime, social inequality, race and ethnicity, feminism and media/globalization. Any typos from here on in are theirs, not mine :)
~~~

Unlike other countries like the U.S., one aspect of Canada consensual values is that we are allowed to marry anyone of another ethnicity, we are okay with misengination.

Most families today are not even married to each other.

Feminists believe that women should continue to take our domestic roles because the men, even the gay ones, are not willing to surrender to a non-macho housewife.

Marx saw Native Canadians as alcohol abusers.

In all the world of inequalities, there are many to choose from, including ones that are not really there.

Coke-asian couples had a different perspective.

Most people who are minorities have little or no money even though their gas stations or whatever might be successful.

Some people come from families. Some families are nuclear families, some are just unclear families. Some people come from minority groups. However they are both part of our Canadian society.

Males may complain that they do not get enough of sexual gratification. Unlike women, who think they get more than enough.

The modern world is smothered in ideas.

In the Marx view, the family helps to support the worker because his children and his wife take care of his food needs and sexual fantasies. Capitalism needs him to be relaxed. All this is provided from his wife and children.

There were always differences in marriage about little things like who will sweep the floor and who will maul the lawn?

Bikers want authority and think they're standing up for what they believe in, so they bike. Same with prostitutes.
