What is the dumbest thing you have ever heard?

dumbest thing I've heard...hmmm...a lady once told me snakes have no personality....I doubled over laughing as I showed her the difference between nice corn snake and grumpy pine snake...mwa ha ha ha ha...

First, in the response to the "all animals are predisposed to be wild at one point in their lives" statement. No, that is simply untrue. Their are many animals that have been truly domesticated and, while some may be able to survive on their own in the wild, many simply cannot. I for one am glad we have domesticated some animals. I like chicken, bacon, and steak!

As far as the dumbest question I have gotten....
"Do you worship the devil"
"Why would you think that?"
"I heard you keep snakes."
"Uh...Yeah?"
"Don't you know snakes are evil?... Their from the devil!"

LOL I still get a chuckle out of that one.

Scott,
You mean you dont wear that Goat Skull and leather Fur Chaps for religious reasons? What kinda gatherings have I been going to??

i've gotten the "your a devil worshipper since you have snakes" and "the devil turned himself into a snake, so your the devil" i just say.... if the devil has those powers, he can turn into a cheese sandwich too!!! would they be evil?? i get the "does it try to eat your cats/dogs?" OH!! in the newest reptiles magazine it says corns rarely get more than 3 feet long... WOW i must have some rare corns.... some are actually around 5 feet... i should be famous!!! OH and i think this is funny... my mother in law insists snakes are slimy... shes touched one of my ball pythons and says its cool feeling, but when shes around her friends, she calls them slimy.....
OH! and she said "why do you keep them? you should sell them, breeding doesnt make you any money" yeah.... i'm in it just for the money.... this lady also thinks i was flirting with my husbands cousin.... b/c i am the only one in the family who will talk to him... psycho....

Nicole,

That was an amazing thread! I LOVE religious discussions! We have a lot of really intelligent, thoughtful people on this list. I'm keeping mum about my religion because another thread like that could start, take the bit and run away with people. But WOW!

And where can I buy "The Book of Wade"? I'll trade it for an edition of "Uncle Atli's Very Thin Book of Wisdom".

Devon

lol. It was a lot easier to link it then try and explain it. I have seen that guy a few more times but he does not say anything. Lots of glares.

Everything that you have just listed are domesticated. They aren't built for the wild. Setting them free would be well... just murder.

But the point being made is that they were ORIGINALLY wild animals. The fact that the excessive line breeding and domestication has nothing to do with the original point. Even though the animal has been domesticated, it still has wild instincts, even if it doesn't have the know how to survive in the wild.
