Today, the kid I was tutoring told me that, "Pirates were a myth. Like the Greeks and Romans." He's 16. FML

This is where I say you stop trying to tutor this kid because at this rate.....

Might not be that bad. He may just not understand what myth is?

You should send him to the horn of Africa and introduce him to the Somali pirates. See if that changes his opinion a little!

Whatever you're getting paid to tutor that kid...it isn't enough.

On the plus side, OP is never going to be out of a job.

And that is why you are there to tutor him.

If pirates are real does that mean Somalia is real too?

Yes, even the "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything."

Nah dude Somalia is just a myth, just like the Greeks and the Romans.

I laughed more at your reply then at the fml... lol Satan.

Don't forget to tell him to look at the flowers!!!

Everyone knows Blackbeard was myth, designed to scare children into never going on a boat. Fairly common knowledge.

Edward Teach was absolutely real. It's Davy Jones that was a myth.

I think that sarcasm went right over everyone's head.

@14 People hate Islam because of how proportionally violent they are, 15-25% are radicals that would gladly participate in Jihads and Sharia law (Stats on CIA Website). That is a HUGE number considering the number of Muslims is in the billions. The majority of Muslims are peaceful, however in cases of extremism the majority is irrelevant, as it is the minority that causes so much damage. It is stupid to hate all Muslims because at least 75% of them are peaceful, but at the same time they are the religion with the highest ammount of intolerance and violence in the world, and that is why people fear them

Whoa, what happened? I replied to the other FML, why did it end up here?
