Animals and Weird: Gullible

Gullible

By Idontbelieveinmagic - 17/06/2013 05:42 - United States - Las Vegas

Today, my dad refused to believe that the Animal Planet's mermaid mockumentaries were faked. Instead he got into a huge argument with me, claiming the government is covering up the existence of mermaids and must've threatened the producers to keep it quiet. FML

Today, two of my friends condemned me for being "narrow-minded", because I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that someone would believe mermaids actually exist. FML

Supply and demand

Today, I spotted my dad watching a wildlife/nature video. I pointed out to him that the animal on the screen was critically endangered; he rebutted by telling me that it's impossible for the animal on the screen to go extinct because people keep hunting it. FML

Today, my dad lost his mind over the meteorite incident in Russia. He's convinced that it's part of some big government conspiracy to cover up a UFO crash-landing, and now he won't stop dismissively calling us "sheep" and telling us "do the research" just because we don't agree with him. FML

Today, my family went to Seaworld. When we got there, my dad sarcastically told me not to get lost, because I might get mistaken for Shamu. FML

Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML

Today, my dad forced the whole family to sit through a two-hour lecture, with supporting research, on how the "Mayan prophecy" is actually a load of shit fabricated by conmen. Nice to know he thinks we're all borderline brain-dead, gullible fuckwits who believed it to begin with. Thanks, dad. FML

Treat your pets properly!

Today, I had an argument with my dad about how Alpo dog food is trash and is why his dog keeps having terrible farts and diarrhea. My dad refuses to believe me, so now I'm always scrubbing vile, smelly, mucous-laden dog diarrhea out of the carpet. I'm a pet nutritionist. FML

Today, at the Mommy and Me dance class that I take my four year old daughter to, the instructor had us do a stretch, telling us to pretend we're mermaids. My daughter said to me, "But you're not a mermaid, you're a whale!" FML

Today, I babysat for two little girls, who wanted to play 'mermaids'. I smiled, and said that I would love to play with them. The older girl laughed, saying "You can't be a mermaid. Mermaids are pretty." FML

Mermaids are real! Ok we all believe in something that others dont. And there is nothing you can do to change people mind and option.

yeah that could have been fake but do you know what's at the bottom of the ocean? yeah mermaids obviously wouldn't sing and have bright red hair.... but there could be something mermaid like in the ocean. it would explain why in the deep sea they catch fish with man made spears in them. you think some human went out making spears out of stuff they found in the ocean and spear fish out there then let them go? or the whale they cut open that had a fish tale and hand bones in the belly. the idea of a "mermaid" isn't that ridiculous

I'm a huge conspiracy nut, if you want to discuss theories I'm always here. Anyway, clearly the illuminati is in league with the BuilderBurg Foundation to control the global economy in an attempt to divert all cash flow to America where the president is actually a puppet and they will create the NWO with Honey Boo Boo as a figurehead in MK Ultra experiments whilst we have people like Bieber distracting us from this horror all the while the water you drink is contaminated with mind numbing agents in an attempt to brainwash children through the education system to obey the mighty Cage... as was mentioned, all conspiracies lead to Cage.
