;) The ways of the Journeyman...

In my many adventures as a Journeyman searching to rediscover myself and my soul, I have passed many foul statements that torment my mind.

What do you think are the greatest lies of all time? Here there are some stuff I picked up:

The most dangerous one: "The Titanic is the unsinkable ship" ~ The creator of the Titanic.

The "Unkwown quote":

"This... telephone won't be revolutionary as a efficient way of communication"

"Television isn't gonna last for long. People are going to get bored watching a wooden box all day"

"The sun revolves around the Earth" ~ Ptolemy

There may be more, I am not sure. I may have to search some more. (Some quotes taken from an unkwown book).

What are the greatest lies of all time?

"uh...I no, I guess they don't give report cards this quarter..."

"I don't mind"

"It's bigger than that"

Chencho, those aren't lies. Those were merely opinions that occurred before the actual events happened.

Because the existence of a diety is impossible to prove or disprove, such a statement is mere opinion, not a lie.

"Pi is essentially 4" ~Deluded Mathematician's statement long after Pi was discovered. Fact sourced from guiness book of world records 1991 edition.

Here's one of my all time favourites from TBN broadcasting:
It says RIGHT HERE in the good BOOK, the BIBLE, that god is willing to give everything, everything to you... if you give to him. Ladies and Gentlemen, give to God, call 1800...
and so on. ugh, TBN :mad:

"I'm perfect!" There are preppy ppl who say that alot. Even if they don't, they give that impression that they are.

And I can't disprove that there's an invisible pink unicorn following me around, but I doubt that anyone would call it an "opinion" if I said "there's not an invisible pink unicorn following me around."

Because most people are only willing to believe in that which they can sense.

Some people can 'sense' a higher being, and there is no proof or disproof, so, obviously, it may or may not be a lie..Dur. Anyways.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Sorry x Infinity plus twelve. But I felt an extreme desire to jab in something a politician said, as everyone knows, the president would never lie.

"Under pressure from the violent public, Chiang Kai-Shek honorably resigned the country's position in the United Nations" ~Taiwanese history textbook

Under martial law, education was left in the hands of the Nationalist Party. All their corrupted volumns reek of indoctrination. The old man resigned from the UN to save his precious face - and the sad thing is, few people realize that all this struggle for independence was caused by his mistakes.

...Awright, I'm guessing that people have not the slightest idea of what I'm talking about.

A bit off topic, but Canis, are you pro-DPP or KMT? :D Here's one person that understands... the question that always bugged me was whether Taiwan resigned or was kicked out of the UN...

On topic, here's a few:

"Don't worry/I'll be okay."

"See you later."

"I want to beat you up."

"Look over there!"

There was this really dumb kid who made up lies about Pokémon cards like:

"I know a kid who has a card that evolves from Machamp called Machakee with millions of arms. It even ahs arms on the back of the card!"

"I saw a mewtwo in a store that was so rare it had tons of stars in the bottom corner of the card!"

I don't know why he was such an idiot that he made up dumb crap like that...

"I love you, but I'm not IN love with you."
I really hate this line. I don't even people know what it means (prolly since it has no meaning) and I've heard it from people who I asked out but turned me down. I think people just heard it and thought it sounded good. Stupid women think that every 3 month relationship is like on Friends. Now they neevr talk to me and try to avoid me.

They hate me, but they're not in hate with me.

I hate the most:
"I'll be back"
"Don't worry I'm here for you"
"I love you, too"
"We'll stay together forever"

I really don't like those words.

With the fear of spamming, here I have to say this.

Maybe it's just me, but this post became a little too controversial with the religion stuff. My idea was just to joke about stuff, but not to mock important stuff. I would have been better to let this topic dead like it was. Thanks anyway.

Religion isn't important, it's ignorance at its finest.
