So true
What is true? It’s a list of items.
LOL
Don’t wanna confuse you, but it is a list of items that wiil keep people from sitting next to you on a bus, and it’s true that all of those items will accomplish that goal.
Maybe when you get into second grade this will make sense.
Even more than a bible, a fake hotdog bomb jacket would keep most people from sitting next to you.
Unless they had a dog.
This should not be a pie chart. The title suggests a list of items as you yourself just stated, there is nothing about numbers or percentages.
Thank you for proving my point Smugboy.
Since when do pie charts on this site have numbers or percentages?
Plus, there’s some really kinky shit in there.
I carry garlic
As long as they don’t sparkle, I don’t mind.
unfortunatly it’s the sparklie ones that arn’t bothered by garlic… or crosses. ><
The small child part needs to be bigger.
Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?
If the child starts crying, people around you (not just in the seat with you) are going to be somewhat annoyed.
I’m pretty sure Reika is talking about the section of the graph.
I was thinking the same thing.
You may wanna rephrase that…
I wonder if people realize that using a pie chart isn’t a requirement…
I just like pie.
LOL Hi Jack.
ROFL!!!
You called me?
No kitty that’s my pot pie!
That’s a bad kitty!
I’ll have to make sure I bring my Bible on my next bus trip to try this iut.
I’ve actually had people start to sit down, then look back and see the Bible, then stand up and move to another seat. LOL
Hide your bible on the bus if you don’t like it tho…
Hey, I ought to test that. Hide it then take it out after they’ve sat down. See how many people get up. LOL
LOL, do it and report back to us!
I guess what one finds humorous another may not.
True.
Why is this a pie chart? The title suggests a list of items, there is nothing about numbers or percentages.
BAD.
It should have been called “Which items keep people from sitting by you on the bus most”
Good point. Thank you.
I hate to repeat myself, but…
Since when do the pie charts on this site have numbers or percentages?
this works with mein Kampf or a prOn revue too but seems a bit akwarder^^
Uuuum, maybe that’s true but it isn’t funny. It’s not like sitting next to someone with a Bible automatically means you’re going to get yelled at or preached to or something. So mean.
BAD.
That’s probably why they don’t sit by me when I have my Bible on the bus…
Ouch.
In my neighborhood, unfortunately it does. Or not preached at- more muttered to. :/
I so agree. Not everybody will avoid you if you have a bible and it’s not like us christians will start preaching or trying to force you to change your religion. Besides, it takes alot of courage to be a christian because so many people put us down. I think we should get more credit for even having the courage to take our bibles with us on the bus than this.
Sorry if I sound like a jesus freak, but this is something I feel strongly about. Remember, we on’t have to sit around and whatch them put us down, we can stand up for ourselves.
And even if it is true, it is definatley not funny, just plain rude.
Oh! Boohoo! Look how difficult it is to be in the one of the major religions! Priviledge can be such a burden! Woe is meeee!
seriously! “We’re put down by everyone!”… hmm actually, pretty sure I’ve been attacked more times for being lesbian by christians than any other group. Oh, but say one bad thing about christians and they’re suddenly being unfairly judged.
Okay, sorry, Not many people support other religions, there, is that better?
being a lesbian may be wrong, but being put down because of it is wrong also. I personally am a christian and we have several lesbians in our church. if they attacked you or insulted you, then they were actually sinning according to the bible.
And how did this graph turn into a discussion about religion?
I SO agree. Thanks for standing up more than I did…..
Sadly,due to predjuduce and people thinking not being a democrat,gay marriage supporting athiest makes you either evil,a bigot,or a zealot,this is true.
Good call!
And, lo, it came to pass…
…that the Countess, who once bathed in the rejuvenating blood of a hundred virgins, was buried alive… And her castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly into ruin. Rising over the buried dungeons in that god-forsaken wilderness, a solitary tower, like some monument to Evil, is all that remains.
The Countess’ fortune was believed to be divided among the clergy, although some say that more remains unfound, still buried alongside the rotting skulls that bear mute witness to the inhumanity of the human creature.
You know, of course, ignoring the fact that I’ve had many Christians cease speaking to me when they found out I was an athiest and/or gay. And I say this as a Republican. Yay, log cabins!
I don’t know why Christians would stop speaking to you just because you’re a gay atheist. We don’t agree with you that’s sure. Maybe they just didn’t know what to say.
yes, only republicans have any sense of morality…
Shotgun.
C’mon Dad. Cut me some slack.
“Ahhh, Chris Hansen?!” *Shoots self in head. BOOM*
I would just not ride the bus.
Not a city person here.
…and I don’t mean not riding because I saw a person with a bible either…
Some of us don’t have that option…
*sigh*
You’ll be avoided even more if you have a stack of “The Watchtower.”
How about a stack of “The Watchtower” and a Bible, while you and your friend are dressed in a white button up shirt and black trousers and nice shiny shoes. That ought to give the two of you all the room you need on the bus/subway.
SUre this will keep away 90 to 95% of the people, but he ones that do sit down will want to discuss it!
That’s what I was thinking. That would be a colossal backfire, wouldn’t it?
Agreed… If I carried a bible on a bus in my town, people would gather ’round and ask me to lead them in prayer. (Good thing my town is too small for buses!
)
Oh I’m sure it has buses, GOING TO THE REVIVAL!
‘Let’s all start a sing along.’
*Oh shit, this is the wrong bus*
*THIS IS THE WRONG BUS*
*NooooOOoOO!!*
“Can I use you Bible to look up a passage?”
Severed human head.
Meh – never really worked for me. But don’t let’s get started about the effect of carrying severed genitalia (I have statistics based on gender, size, age etc. – see, if you’re carrying a…wait, I said not to get started, never mind). Oh, what the heck – here, hold my Bible while I dig this out of my bag…
Wrong type of graph.
If you dont want to anyone sit next you , while would you put there a childred ?
As a bellydancer, I can carry both a cane and a large, heavy bag and people will still want to sit next to me all the time…
And possibly even a sword. A copy of Dianetics would probably work though.
Dianetics Junior much better than Krishna
I hate it when people do that. I mean, c’mon- there are other seats free, and I’m only carrying my own weight in luggage. :/
The child section should be larger than the Bible section.
And if this same chart were made to reflect the Long Island Railroad, a Torah would definitely have to be the largest slice, since one of the common activities during the morning commute is long debates over the Torah.
Oh my god, I second what you said about the LIRR. That and the people who pray to themselves outloud the whole time are really annoying.
While once a week might be good for you, religious Jews pray 3 times a day and Muslims pray 5 times a day. Deal with it. Both religions are older than Christianity. Didn’t your pastor teach you to respect your elders?
wear a pentagram where all can see it.
And carry a Bible. Then you can keep everyone away.
LOL!
What’s sad is that this is somewhat true. Why does everyone assume that all Christians are the same as the “stereotypical Christian” who wants to do nothing but preach all day and be self-righteous? I go to a fairly large church (albeit far from a mega-church, thank God) and none of the members there that I can think of are anything of the sort.
Because the stereotypical ones are the ones on TV and also the most likely to be prominently carrying a bible on the bus?
Good point. The ones on TV, strangely enough, that come to my mind, are the mega-church preachers who tell you if you give them a large sum of money, you will be saved. Words cannot express my disgust.
My Space Marine Chapter will crush the heritics under their feet!!
[waives chainsword up STAR WARS poster stile]
If you want, Gangstakitteh, you can join my Chapter ^_^
MY ORC ARMIES WILL CRUSH YOU! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! WAAAGH! THE ORCS! WAAAGH! (starts screaming other nerdy warhammer stuff)
But if some else comes on the bus with a bible they will sit next to…
Small child should get a bigger piece of the pie. I have one (13 months) and I have seen one-legged old ladies on crutches choose to stand over having to sit next to me…Which is funny cuz riding on the bus knocks my kid out so he is almost always asleep.
How about a Koran.
Friend had a wonderful story about how on a packed subway a chap got on in full Muslim dress and started mumbling from his Koran. Next stop, pretty much an empty train… ;o)
I just wish people wouldn’t mutter what they are reading in general. :/ And it’s always the slow ones who have to read aloud…
I’ve actually done this
You could put on a suit (if you’re male) and put a name tag on which says Brother (insert name). Guaranteed to keep people away. Or you could drive a car. Simplez.
People mumble because they’re deep in prayer/mantra. It helps to focus the mind on being in the moment – like meditation. It stops distracting thoughts.
How about a Socialist newspaper or a guitar?
Wearing a speedo or a ski mask would work too. (new category please)
How bout a speedo AND a ski mask?
Why would you want to do that? Do you have special needs?
That’s not funny, that’s offensive
.
how is that even remotely ofensive?
And it should be ‘Bible’ not ‘bible’.
Shut up, stop whining.
Gotcha. “Buy-bull.”
I have a sticker on my briefcase from the Nuclear Medicine Department that says, “CAUTION: RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL.” I added a skull and cross bones. It works without fail.
drtombibey.wordpress.com
Where can I get one of those stickers?
How about a T shirt with the words “Registered Sex Offender” inscribed on it?
Or any book with “Hitler” in its title?
May I only here, chayoo ^_^…v
i think that “A Satanic Bible” in te final one would have been loads better
hahaha
Oh, this graph is too funny. Pie chart or not, you get the drift. I am an old Christian, and I know that, if I pull out my Bible and read it in a public place, there are going to be lots of people who will tiptoe around me.
Yes, we have been told to go out and share the good news by Jesus himself, and that’s what we are to do. Unfortunately, being Christian doesn’t mean we’re perfect–just that we have a perfect example to follow in Christ. So, yeah, there are a lot of scary Christians out there. There is a lot of in-your-face obnoxious behavior by Christians, who try to brow beat people into hearing what they have to say. Even though we share a Savior, I might avoid them on a bus, or tell them to “walk the walk instead of just talking the talk.” True Christians, if we follow Christ’s example, are loving and compassionate, but we humans take a long while to get it right. God’s not done working on you yet, and he’s not done with me, either!
Because it’s obvious only the mentally insane carry around bibles, right?
are you a demon incarnate? I find this offensive on many levels.
I’m an Atheist and I’ve actually carried a bible onto a bus for just this purpose.
Not even lying.
