The joys of high school.

Literally insane people go to my school. This is a conversation I couldn't help overhearing.

 

Kid 1 (with a church shirt on): If you read the Bible, there is evidence that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.

Kid 2: The dinosaurs lived in a box.

Kid 1: Scientists don't know what they're talking about when they say the Earth is a million years old.

Kid 2: Adam and Eve lived in a box.

 

I did not exaggerate a single line. I can't decide which one of them is more clinically insane.

I don't understand the box

I don't understand what the box kid is even trying to say.  I pity your brain.

Scientists have no clue what they are talking about!  I'm a high school student, trust me!

Box kid is a legitimately

Box kid is a legitimately insane person. He never says anything coherent, ever. Apparently he isn't slow, though, because he's not in special ed. No one ever talks to him because he smells awful and never has anything logical to say, so he talks to people in the lunch line. Once he gave one kid an unwanted lecture on Thor and then quized him about it.

Well, box boy isn't directly

Well, box boy isn't directly bothering you, so best to let him be.

If he does mess with you...
two lines come to mind:

1) "TIMMY!!!"

2) You forget to take your meds......AGAIN!!!

H.S. was a bitch, I religiously played my guitar,
and with myself.

College cured that with lots of heavy drinking.

... ahhh to not do it all over again.

Dam, kids in USA are insane.

My country is not as strong, but at least, where I live, such conversation is impossible. Smiling

That conversation would

That conversation would maybe have been considered intellectual on my high school. Surely it is insane, but it's judged according to the topic. It's about science and religion, not about  drinking, smoking, drugs, sex, sports and partying. However, the kid #2 shows a probable response we'd probably get from people around who just can't stand someone being so intellectual in less than 50 meters from the others.
Anyway, it seems that there hardly ever been an intellectual conversation on my high school, except of those I started with one. We had some math and sudoku geniuses, but almost no philosophers and Christians kept a low profile. During the breaks guys were usually busy with exodus to another class at the opposite end of the school system of buildings, which were so crowded, that it was not easy nor quick. The American films and serials from high school, depicting students as having a plenty of time to live their lives during breaks (by hanging out at school park and lawns) are far from reality, at least on the industrially focused schools.

Well at least we know doomed

Well at least we know doomed soul is back!

Zymotic, kid #2 is a Zen master. He's demonstrating to the other kid how ridiculous his point of view is by making statements equally valid to "The earth is 10,000 years old".

Darwinian Terminator FTW!

And also... WTF!? A box?

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Maybe, the box kid was being sarcastic about the beliefs of the other kid.
