"How can you complain about your life when there are starving children in Africa who have it worse?

By that logic, no one anywhere has the right to complain about anything. Not even a starving kid in Africa because somewhere else in Africa there's someone starving worse. It's a stupid argument.

"Obama is a Muslim."

According to Huffington Post, more than 30% of Republicans falsely believe Obama is Muslim. That is frightening.

"You can't trust anything on Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it."

I hate when people disregard something I say when I admit I read about it on Wikipedia. The Wikipedia staff does a fairly good job of policing its high-traffic articles, and a lot of them are written by certified experts. Granted, my friend tricked the online toymaking community into thinking he invented the pogo stick. But their information (on anything important) is generally pretty reliable.

Apparently science or something proved that the chicken came first. I'm not even gonna pretend to explain what I read in that CBS article.

"In a Relationship with (Best Friend)"

My Facebook would avoid saying that.

"A little slow on the uptake there."

I don't even know what uptake means. I usually avoid phrases like "luck of the draw" or "benefit of the doubt" because I don't like the way they sound or don't know what they mean. I really just don't understand why it's "the" doubt or "the" draw.

"God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt."

God made everything. And there's definitely a lot of stuff out there that can kill me.
