If you want to look like an idiot more times than not, then go right ahead.

There's a difference between logical assumptions and illogical assumptions. Many people don't know the difference, or aren't capable to make logical assumptions.

[Kman96]

Actually assumptions are pretty important.  They're one of those heuristic things, right?  They may not ALWAYS be accurate but they allow us to compute things more quickly, and that's why we use them.  EG Rule of thumb, stereotypes, and algorithms.

There has a to be a different word for that definition, because it is NOT assume.

Assuming is to guess without conclusive evidence. Why do you think it makes asses out of people? Because they're making assumptions of things that either aren't their business, or they really don't know anything about.

[FierceDeity]

It's funny that your definition of an assumption includes the context in which it takes place XD
But...assumptions CAN be made about things that are one's business/one knows a great deal about. There are a lot of things that we can't be expected to have conclusive evidence for, and if we're reasonably invested and educated in that subject, there's nothing wrong with making an assumption, as long as you don't treat it as if it were conclusive evidence.

...However, a quick google search would provide conclusive evidence for the whole michael/fred phelps thing, so yeah.

When in doubt, remember that Google is your best friend.

According to her, she nearly bought the game for her daughter until she saw the connection between "Green Leaf" and marijuana. "My daughter may have become a serial killer or worse, an animal abuser, if I had bought her the game," she recalled, "I considered suing Nintendo right then for causing me so much distress all those years ago. Are there even any Christians at Nintendo?"

Curiosity quickly turned to outrage though as she witnessed a scene where "a small dog and her puppy are chased by some poachers and they end up cornering the baby dog." It was then that she noticed the puppy had no skin on its head and its skull was visible which made it clear to her that these poachers must have abused these poor creatures for science experiments. She went on to describe that "the puppy eventually got away but had to listen as these vile men beat her mother to death."

After a brief argument, I was able to wrestle my daughter's Nintendo away from her and broke it in half. I flushed that horrible Pokemon game down the toilet with my cat's droppings. I've banned her from any video games and anything Pokemon-related and told her that she's never going to see the boy who bought the game for her ever again. And I'll be home schooling her from now on.

Please tell me this article is fake. PLEASE. I cannot live in peace after reading this article.

EDIT: There was a little earthquake while I was typing this. Just an interesting tidbit.

This person has zero idea what they're talking about.

It's a satire website guys. Don't worry. Though I'm annoyed they destroyed a Nintendo 3DS XL for the sake of the satire...

[Zunawe]

The fact that it's believable says something though.

You'd think it was okay, but just read the comments.
