Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I had to listen to my classmate loudly argue a question she got wrong on a test for half an hour, repeating the same incorrect argument ad nauseam. She screamed at the rightfully exasperated teacher for being "biased" when he gave up, and started screaming again when I tried to explain it in a different way. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. 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, 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
Unfair
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML
Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML
You can't explain that
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 gave a presentation about how teachers don't intervene enough when students are being bullied. Afterwards, I was practically bullied by my teacher for "not choosing a serious topic." FML
Thanks, I hate it
Today, we had to evaluate each other in class. Apparently I'm a quarrelsome, uncommitted, commanding bitch. FML
The penny drops…
Today, I had a debate at school. I had diligently studied my position, digging up historical parallels, researching the economics, and preparing citations. I lost to a guy who just yelled, "Tax the billionaires" to every question. FML

Nostradamus said there would be three Antichrists. Napoleon the first and Hitler the second. So OP just might be the third. Sorry I didnt clear that up.

No, the third Antichrist is currently the President of the USA.

16- You are so ignorant. It's astounding that someone could say something THAT ignorant. Please tell me how Obama is worse than say, Hitler or Napoleon. I'd love to hear it. I understand that you may be against his ideas, but that was beyond ignorant of you.

Sounds like OP has some big shoes to fill.

Being compared to Hitler (in terms of debating skills) is not that bad. How do you think he worked his way up to leader of Nazi Germany? He did it through debate... and finding people stupid enough to carry out his plans.
duke56924903 11
30, I somehow doubt that's what the teacher meant.
Futacy 30
^probably not, but as long as it's all good in OP's mind, it's all good

let's be honest here, Nostradamus' "prophecy" making skills were normally... worse than awful...

#24-in the case of Napoleon, the shoes aren't really all that big. ;)

He was very good at manipulating facts and ideas to his favor, same with Napoleon, except he was better with military strategies instead of debates.

39, did you know napoleon wasnt really that small? he was actually average during those times. One reason some may think he's small is because his personal army known as the Old Guards, were a bunch of handpicked men who are 6 ft tall and with (sometimes) body building bodies. Pretty cool huh? The more you know! :D
peoplearestupido 0
Oh and i highly doubt Napoleon is an "anti-christ". He was just a feared general. There are so much more candidates such as Mao, Stalin, and maybe even Osama.

Am I the only one who really wants to see OP debate ?
tygerarmy 35
I just wanna know what the debate topic was. And why the teacher would give a one sided debate. OP was on the pro kick a kitten side and still won.

Well op how did your teacher Nazi this coming?

He's a master debater. Edit: Sorry didn't see someone else had said this until after...

The top ten speeches of all time, in the history of man.. Hitler had 5 of them. You obviously did something right OP. We can all agree here you are good at arguing.
gc327072 31
Many historians cite them as the best speakers ever, along with Mussolini. Be proud!

You have to be pretty damn good at speaking to turn a whole nation radical.

I realised I made a mistake, but I didn't want to be one of those douches who corrects themselves on their comments ;)
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
Yes this means that you were convincing, which was the point of the exercise I guess? Your teacher should have been cleverer though and not voice a silly opinion like that in front of everyone. What did she expect you to do, argue with the other team point of view? Besides, it’s pretty stupid to put Napoleon and Hitler in the same basket unless she was simply referring to the megalomania of both men.
gribbles 12
Did you argue your point that well? Other than the mass genocide, hitler knew how to give a speech and give his point across.
TrueTriage 16
I think if hitler could talk all those people into believing him he must've been a decent speaker/debater
skoob1 12
Yeah, and it was pretty undesirable to disagree with him.
alycion 39
Some of the most warped people are the best speakers. Charisma also tends to go well with that. Besides Hitler, Manson and Bundy knew how to take someone in with talking. Most of our politicians are like that too. Maybe you should look into a career as a lawyer or politician, op. sounds like you got the public speaking and debating side down.

Actually, even though his actions were detestable, Hitler was, without a doubt, the best leader of the 20th century (if not throughout all of history). Think about it. He took a country that had it's military power stripped from it at the end of WWI and in a major economic depression and (within 15/20 years?) raised that country up and stood at the threshold of conquering the entire world. Tell me of any other leader in the history of the world that was able to do that? If it hadn't been for his radical racial views and implementing the "Final Solution", history would have seen Hitler in a completely different light.
HeartOfLead 24
Parts of Europe and Russia is not the 'entire world', just saying. Yes, he had his talents, but he wasn't an adequate enough military leader. I'd say Napoleon was better, military wise.

It was a compliment! You convinced them of the point you were debating. So does this make you a master-debater?
XmyviolentheartX 13
I agree, it was (or at least you should take it as a complement) that she told you that. One time in speech class my professor asked us to pick a person who was great at speeches and explain why. I said "Hitler" everyone freaked out and some laughed. But when I explained that I chose him because he was one of the greatest speaking people at that time. How else would he get thousands and millions of people to do what he asked? He was good at his speeches and was very influential. But still pretty ****** up. = Bring on the down votes and arguments I guess. -_-
SammyS2012 21
26- I completely agree with you. Whenever that topic comes up in class, I always say hitler and then clarify that I'm not a neo-Nazi. People's emotions get in the way when Hitler's name is said, but in reality, he was very charismatic and knew about to give a good speech. He had horrible plans and such, but I don't think anyone can deny that he knew how to give a speech.

60-The funny thing was everyone played it safe. They all chose presidents and whatnot but I didn't want to be typical.

Actually, Napoleon's hight was translated wrong, he was a normal size person for that time and era.

Height* And yes, people have gotten a bit taller since his little escapade.

So you're charismatic and articulate enough to one day nearly conquer the world? I wish I got compliments like that.

You r right.

You should have debated that you are nothing like them.

Should have debated you are better than them.

What was the topic of the debate?

Equality of individuals.
nevershoutkendal_fml 11
Then you're a good debater. Hey, that could turn into a career.
Pyapi 20
I'd say it's good to know you managed to defend something you disagreed with so well. Conquered the class today, tomorrow the WORLD!
