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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
Today, we had to evaluate each other in class. Apparently I'm a quarrelsome, uncommitted, commanding bitch. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not a bad statement. Forgetting the horrific acts and violent legacy left by both men, they were phenomenal orators. The main reason that Hitler rose to power was his ability to speak, and win one over. Congratulations! Sounds like you did a great job!

but they were well known for speaking skills, at least I know gitler was. and part of debate is to fight for either side. whether its wrong to you or not. deal with it and move on.

Gitler was a great speaker indeed

If you reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon, that's pretty good. Hitler was aweful. Napoleon was not (he entered power after the bloodshed). It seems either it's amazing oratory skills, or your teacher is an idiot.

I hate teachers like that. Mine said the same thing years ago when I was in high school. I thought it was kind of funny.

Yeah, if they tell you to argue that side they shouldn't be upset/disturbed when you do it well - what were they expecting? Op your teacher is a twit and good for you for doing so well

I would be very proud of myself if I was you. That was not offensive at all, it was a great compliment.

That's hilarious! Good for you, debating the wrong side, even though it's just that.
