Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Old people are racist, it's a fact of life.My brother has had several arguments with my grandparents on my dad's side after little throwaway comments about the "niggers" and "pakkis"
However, the idea that ALL old people are inherently racist came after my first year of Uni, I'd just come back from the halls in London and had picked up my grandparents on my mums side to drive them to our house for sunday dinner (how quaint).
We were just generally chatting as I was driving back, they were asking what I thought of the place, how I liked the people, the area etc and out of nowhere my nan (Who has always been very quiet, reserved and I've never known her to voice a strong opinion of any kind) suddenly sucks in her breath and says "I'd imagine there was a lot of blacks though....." said in a way, not that it was a bad thing, just annoying... in the same way someone would say "Well it was really warm...*Sucks in breath* bit cloudy though" after a day at the beach
