Crazy and Utterly Absurd Things That You Used to Believe

[hyidi]

I used to believe that Jews were merely a harmless minority which suffered from unjust persecution

ME TOO!

That the Jews were innocent victims! But thank god' I met people like you to guide me to the real truth!

Libertarianism

in my early childhood I use to think that dogs where the "male" and cats where 'Female" / not sure when the turning point came / also like an earlier post; our first sex educational class / my buddies and I figured the teacher was lying to us / no way you would make babies that way / plus if you looked crossed eyed and someone would hit you on your back; your eyes would stay that way (actually to this day I don't want to try this

What is untrue about Ostara's sacred hare?



Six days. It is only us Bavarians and Austrians who consider "resting" as part of work. I'm sure that in Prussia the bible myth is different, on the seventh day God taught them to be so uptight about everything.

As I would always ask my (Prussian) Mother,

"What are you doing today?"

"I'm off work"

"Ohh, any plans?"

"I have some work to do in my free time."


I used to believe that women had children when they were married. I understood pregnancy, I just thought women "became" pregnant when the were married. Then came the awkward moment when my mother told me that our neighbor was unable to have children, and I loudly exclaimed "Well she needs to get married then!"

I thought I had it all figured out.

That Germanics are not absolutely superior

All my life, that I was actually a dog. I felt pretty out-of-place during childhood.

Oh yeah, I thought that the other side of the world was parallel to ours (all the countries the same) except day, night and the seasons were opposite. It was really spooky and mysterious.

I believed there was a monster inside the toilet that fed on human waste. It was purple.

I gave all kinds of things anthropomorphic qualities. My pencils had names. Everything had a personality.

I INVENTED THE YES/NO ERASER. Seriously.

I believed in fairies and Santa Clause for a while. I had imaginary friends. In fact, I had an entire fantasy universe. It's awesome.

Well, I used to think it was pure racism to be proud of your own peoples accomplishments and history, and to show more interest in them than that of other races and cultures. This is basically what we get told from day one. It was the way I was indoctrinated to think by society, and I fell for it for years. Theres nothing wrong with being proud of your own history and culture. Theres nothing wrong with feeling a strong connection to them, and reading about them more than others. I'm just relieved I now have places where I can go where I dont have to feel guilty about my interests.
