CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

What are some things y'all find odd or ironic?

Me, well, I was thinking today: If everyone's so concerned about internet privacy, then why do so many people use their real names (often their full or last names) as e-mail addresses?

(sorry if this is better in Goof-Off, I was having a hard time deciding)

Jumbo Shrimp

^^

Seriously though, rebel without a cause is a term that comes to mind. To rebel is to go against something you feel is unjust. So, if there is nothing you feel is unjust, how do you rebel? Don't get that.

People telling you not to "impose your beliefs".... which is imposing their belief.

...

I find it ironic that irony is misused so much.

For example:

That's not irony. That's an oxymoron.

(Don't mean to pick on you , starfire, just being pedantic.)

Another example:

The misuse of irony is not ironic. It is, however, ironic that I misused irony in sighting that I dislike the misuse of irony.

Really violent films/anime that have a strong anti-violence message.

Sure, they're trying to show "the negative aspects", but it really seems kinda hypocritical. Maybe not showing the graphic parts would make more sense...?

Monkeys. Because we're 'supposed' to think monkeys are smart and like our relatives or something, but they throw poo and pick bugs off each other and then eat the bugs.

So monkeys are ironic. Um, sorta.

That's freakin' awesome.

Ironic: People make a big stink about being individuals, but at the end of the day the vast majority of them would rather conform than stand up and be different.

[quote="1BalloonPopper"]That's like a quote I found somewhere:

You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same. (not to be mean or anything. ._.]

I remember that quote! Awesome one too

If you study physics, you find that the classic, "Superman catches Lois right before she hits the ground" routine would actually kill her due deceleration g-forces.

Also why do people spend 50k on overglorified trucks (Hummers, SUV's, etc) when they could buy a quicker, more agile, more fuel-efficient car (BMW, Corvette, Mercedes, etc.)?

Better yet, why do car companies complain that sports cars don't sell when they never advertise them?

People who don't tolerate intollerence.

Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs? Now THAT'S irony!

The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply “coincidentalâ€

What I find funny and ironic. That many scientist or hindu scholars give more Credit to Christianity than 16 year old neo-darwinists and people of other religions who don't know too much of their faith

lets see... i find those words that are like Jumbo shrimp... or tiny giant/// those kinda things confusing. I find spelling and the english language totally confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find the darwin awards, and stupid videos funny. I find mimes funny. I find it funny that someone can say... "evolution is real and proven". When scientists havent even proven it.

ps to be continued when i think of more.
~NL~

One of the things I find highly ironic is that most of my female friends at the
CAA are young enough to be my daugthers if I were married.
Then again it's a bit ironic that I just said that considering that I don't look
like I'm in my 40s.

I think it's interesting when some of the kids I know wear completely bizarre things and say "I do it because I don't care what people think of me." But the truth is, they wear it BECAUSE they care what people think. They want people to think they're weird, or they want people to be scared of them. I've always thought that was ironic.

I find this very funny.

When I was in high school and through college I thought cartoons were just for
little kiddies and would never have watched an anime if you paid me $50.
Now that I am in my 40s I not only enjoy anime but would pay over $50 for
a DVD of one of my favorite titles.
Ironic,aint it?

lol

amen.

I find it ironic that there are those who try to limit religious expression in the name of freedom.
(note to mods: Not trying to get a political debate going, just noting the irony of it)

Why is it called cargo when it goes by plane and shipping when it goes by car?

Why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?

If 7-11 is open 24 hours, why do they have locks on the doors?

And why is it called 7-11? You'd think they'd be open from 7AM to 11PM.

Today we had a lecture on the Krebs cycle from a man who almost killed Sir Hans Krebs.

Why is the Pacific Ocean called Pacific when in reality it's a lot stormier than the
Atlantic?

I find it ironic that they won't let you teach "religion" in schools but they actively teach atheism witch according to the American government's definition of religions atheism is one.

"Long" SMSs.

Civil Wars

Car shipments and ship cargo.

Very nice, termyt.

I find it ironic when I'm walking through a mall and I see a kid dressed to the nines in punk, then they shout at random people, "What are YOU lookin' at?!" OK, if you dress to purposefully stick out, isn't it only natural that people are going to notice you? They dress up so that people will notice how different they are, then they get mad when people notice. Crazy kids.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's another thing I've noticed. Have you ever seen girls who are dressed totally inappropriately get mad when they notice someone checking them out? I have. Like I seen girls get all huffy and be like, "Can you believe that guy?!" I just want to walk over and say, "It's like this honey. If you don't want people looking at your body, don't expose so much of it." It's just another thing I find a little ironic, and somewhat closely connected to the first thing I mentioned. If you dress so that people will notice you, people will notice you. Either don't get mad when it happens or quit doing it.
