That's cruel behaviour science, everyone has diffrent opinions and everyone has a diffrent way in forming their own opinion, it's society or people's choice to accept these opinions or ignore them so there's no way some people aren't qualified to have opinions.

Actually, it's not. It's a joke. The Onion is a satirical newspaper.

Shame, could've warned me? ;p

The articles didn't tip you off?

Seriously. Look at some of the related articles... "IKEA Claims Another 10,000 Lifestyles" for example.

Well you can make me believe pretty much everything, my friend for example once made me believe she was adopted and even showing a family picture I was still convinced she was adopted, she doesn't look like her family though... or that's what I think/believe.

I love the Onion. They're bright comedy for dark days. Of course, some of their satire has teeth, as sometimes I look at older articles about what might happen in the future and I realize that I'm looking at it.

Although not the office ninja--I think the Onion did the office ninja article. He worked for Xerox or someone, got transferred from Kyoto to New York, went postal--er, ninja.

I wish that this story was real... it might make people become more versed on more topics. Most people these days are very uninformed and it really pisses me off when they try to use misinformation against other people. ex: Homosexuals, Immigrants and even Goths!

I know the people who arn't entitled to opinions.

I just wish this was real and there was a way to shut them up.

That was funny.

True. It'd be nice if in order to be able to speak in a conversation, you had to have some idea of what you were actually talking about. Otherwise, you have to stand by and listen to others until you've gained enough knowledge to form an intelligent response, which you are then allowed to voice. Oh, and you're allowed to ask legitimate questions on the topic of conversation, to help you to be able to speak up sooner. And I'm not talking that this be a law, I'm talking a microchip should be implanted into everyone's brain. A very small computer with much storage space. And once it has a certain amount of info on a topic that has been cross-examined against other tid-bits about the same topic (to help decide which ones are most likely to be truths), they are allowed to speak. And the more they talk, the more they learn, the more their computer chip analyzes, and ignorance will be virtually wiped away! ......Ok, so I got a little carried away there. But it'd be cool.
