Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML

Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML

Today, my debate partner repeatedly said "You mad, bro?" to the opposing team in our college debate class. That debate was worth a considerable portion of our grade. FML

Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

Today, while at a big speech and debate tournament, I corrected the judge's use of the word "podium" instead of lectern, because that's what my debate coach had told me was the correct usage. Well, she didn't take it too well and neither did my partner. Or my debate coach. FML

Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML

Today, one of my debate opponents used the "Bill O'Reilly defense" against my arguments. This involved saying "You can't explain that" about easily explainable stuff, and speaking louder and louder to drown out my voice. He ended up getting a better grade than mine. FML

Today, I gave a presentation about how teachers don't intervene enough when students are being bullied. Afterwards, I was practically bullied by my teacher for "not choosing a serious topic." FML

Today, we had to evaluate each other in class. Apparently I'm a quarrelsome, uncommitted, commanding bitch. FML

Today, I got kicked out of English class shortly after our teacher told us we have to write an essay on how the storyline of Harry Potter is one big allegory for "the futility of socialism." Apparently, reacting with disbelief makes me a "disruptive influence." FML

Take that as a compliment. You're debating skills are so good you're able to persuade people to do the most outrageous things.

Or, if you don't want a career as a dictator or politician, you can always try acting. You'd probably be good.

25 - slightly off topic but your comment just gave me the rather amusing mental picture of a little kid answering the question "what do you want to be when you get older" with "a dictator"

Well, crap, that would be such a compliment to me.. Not in exact name! But you clearly showed the characteristics of a good debater if you got so attached to the side you opposed

The most powerful leaders seem to be the ones who can speak the best. OP, use your skills for good instead of evil and you could start a new age! (dramatic music plays) But really, do something with that gift of gab.

While not the greatest people to ever walk the planet, both men were very charismatic and powerful oral presenters. One of the main reasons Hitler and the Nazi Party rose to power? Hitler was a dangerously good speaker. In short, you're a good speaker, but it's a shame that she chose them of all people to equate you to.

That's actually a great compliment in a debate both of those men came by more power with words disturbing is a little ok

In that context, that's actually a huge compliment. Of course, I can see why someone would be disturbed that they're being equated to Hitler and Napoleon.
