Today, the kid I was tutoring told me that, "Pirates were a myth. Like the Greeks and Romans." He's 16. FML

Might not be that bad. He may just not understand what myth is?

You should send him to the horn of Africa and introduce him to the Somali pirates. See if that changes his opinion a little!

Everyone knows Blackbeard was myth, designed to scare children into never going on a boat. Fairly common knowledge.

Edward Teach was absolutely real. It's Davy Jones that was a myth.

@14 People hate Islam because of how proportionally violent they are, 15-25% are radicals that would gladly participate in Jihads and Sharia law (Stats on CIA Website). That is a HUGE number considering the number of Muslims is in the billions. The majority of Muslims are peaceful, however in cases of extremism the majority is irrelevant, as it is the minority that causes so much damage. It is stupid to hate all Muslims because at least 75% of them are peaceful, but at the same time they are the religion with the highest ammount of intolerance and violence in the world, and that is why people fear them
