Today, I was in a heated debate about climate change. I got so flustered that I forgot the word "volcano" and ended up calling them "exploding mountain things". End of the debate. Shame. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was ranting about creationists, when a friend interrupted me. He managed to mount a defense of creationism that I couldn't argue with. I got so flustered, I punched him in the face and ran away. FML
Today, whenever I get into arguments, I end up mixing up words. I was trying to prove a point by saying a type of chips, and was debating between Dorito chips or BBQ chips. I ended up saying "burrito chips." I said my friend would "sell me out for a bag of burrito chips." FML
Today, I learned that I may have caused a public speaker and author to be fired, because my response to his "open chat" question flustered him, causing him to lose his cool and snap at me. FML
Today, I went to a political debate, and now I'm more confused than when I arrived. FML
Today, while at a big speech and debate tournament, I corrected the judge's use of the word "podium" instead of lectern, because that's what my debate coach had told me was the correct usage. Well, she didn't take it too well and neither did my partner. Or my debate coach. FML
Today, my debate partner repeatedly said "You mad, bro?" to the opposing team in our college debate class. That debate was worth a considerable portion of our grade. FML
Today, I was involved in a debate. Things got out of control, insults were hurled, and by the end friends were lost. The subject of the debate? Whether snot has enough calories in it to be nutritional. FML
Today, one of my debate opponents used the "Bill O'Reilly defense" against my arguments. This involved saying "You can't explain that" about easily explainable stuff, and speaking louder and louder to drown out my voice. He ended up getting a better grade than mine. FML
Today, I confidently corrected someone in a group conversation. I was wrong. Very wrong. Everyone stared while Google proved me incorrect in seconds. I nodded and pretended I meant something else. FML
Today, I had a meeting at work. My boss was there as well as her boss, and a few other managers and directors. We started discussing politics in the context of our latest project. I tried to say "erratic election". I almost succeeded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The small twisty windstorms and big twisty windstorms can be problems too

Common mistake OP. Mixing up volcano and Voldemort. The real V word not to be named.

global warming clearly exists and affected your demeanor.

Best comment here, I hope you're aware that global warming does exist, and is an issue, but people think it's not because politicians step on this *very real* issue for support, then generally don't do anything about it.

And also humans are like, "Just because I stop using as much CO2, doesn't mean it will have an effect." And they continue with their lives. But people should know one person does count, please don't be like the person I just talked about.

Fiery, death, exploding mountains and giant frozen water meltdowns are a problem.

Exploding mountain thingies can be super bad. The firey lava stuff that comes out of them can cause mass destruction

what side of the debate were you on?
RageWolf16 31
I haven't decided if you deserve it or not... Were you arguing that climate change does exist or that it doesn't?

Volcanos are part of the anti-climate change argument.

The real question is: Who gives a shit? Climates been changing for billions of years and will continue to as long as we have an atmosphere. The idea it's a new or man made phenomenon is just ignorant and self indulgent :3

Actually, the idea is well-supported science.

Since you were against climate change, you would have lost the debate anyway.

I'm still looking for the part that says OP was arguing against it.
Thorzix 23
Yep, plus considering OP was mentioning volcanoes(which contribute to climate warming). I think it's more likely OP was on the "It's real" side.
