Also, pretty much any time (recently) when people say that evolution is a theory and not a proven fact.
In this case it isn't a proven fact. But I agree that they should understand the use of 'theory' in other cases (theory of relativity and so on and so forth).
While browsing the interwebs, I found a couple of incredibly stupid posts, one of them being "was trapped on an escalator for hours....power went out!!!"
Personally, I find this to be quite terrible and unrespectful. You don't make jokes about deadly diseases.
Joking is a mechanism which helps people cope with things that they are scared or sensitive to. Diseases are part of so many jokes for a reason, offensiveness is part of comedy. AIDS used to be part of so many jokes because it was a thing people were afraid of and people used comedy to make light of it. In my opinion, joking about something doesn't mean you don't take it seriously or you think it's morally okay. I don't take issue with it. "I'm going to kill my boss" is something people say jokingly, doesn't mean they support murder. If they were dead serious, people would get concerned, people ingore it or laugh because they know it's just a joke. Going up to a person with ebola and making fun of them is different.

If not, allow me to shortly explain it to you. No, ebola is not a country, but a disease that -simply said- disables the immunity system, or something similar. Back when the disease was all over the news, I recall people making cruel jokes about this disease- which is a dumb thing as well.
"Where's -person-? Is he sick?"
"Lol, he has ebola".

And I thought all those people saying "I've had it, I'm moving from the US to Canada!" was as dumb as that was going to get. If you don't even have a kindergartner's knowledge of geography or know absolutely nothing about what the place is like, you probably shouldn't pick up your stuff and move somewhere.

That overpopulation of the Earth is real. Not only is this completely false (just search up "overpopulation myth" or similar to find something to tell you why), but people have suggested communist-like one child polices for all of Earth for the next hundred years or, which is really disgusting, the genocide of billions of people though diseases such as an airborne Ebola virus.

It's okay Scorp, I only humiliate people online if I like them.
Usually.

''Is ebola a country?''
It falls out of your hands, but you can hold it. I meant more like touch and feel.
Aren't you too old to be playing Pokemon?
Aren't you too old to be judging people?
Step1: Cup your hands together
Step2: Put your hands under a running faucet.
Step3: Pull hands away.
You can now hold water! Yay!

"Did you really just say that?"
No, you imagined it

Teacher (Mr.Gibbs): What countries live in poverty?
Student (Paige): Africa!
Teacher: Ah, yes! The great country of AFRICA!

The stupid thing I'm talking about this time is something I said. I was talking to someone online.
Me: I mispell things so much, I have to pay more attention.
Person: Haha, that's ironic since you misspelled "misspell."
Me: As I was saying, I missspell everything so much.
Person: LOL, you misspelled it again!
Me: I can't win...
Person: You didn't make any typos! *claps*
