Hey, it was the wrong topic, but I personally enjoyed the debate.
I'd like to botch about the redundant use of "personally."

Personally, I don't understand to what redundancy you refer.

Don't worry, I've sent my complaint to The Department of Redundancy Department.

One of my friends lived in Italy for a year, and some of his classmates were under the impression that he had lived in an igloo back home, and had never seen advanced technology like computers.
Mistaking Canada for the Arctic Circle? That's a paddlin'.
Although to be fair I've witnessed some people from the U.S. make the same error.
That's the one good thing Facebook brought to us: the stupid shit you might say once, in conversation, which would've been forgotten 10 minutes later... will be kept online for decades, for people to laugh at.

I had no computer, and therefore no Internet access, back then. That's pretty bad, though...I've known about the Titanic since I was about six.

To be fair, Twitter is full of "comedians", I doubt that many people aren't aware of its realness.

With all due respect to Ric2 and all our underaged members, those were teenagers. It sounds plausible to me. I mean most of them weren't even alive when the movie first came out. Add to that the fact that the actual event happened more than a 100 years ago.
On the other hand, I see where you're coming from. This happened in January

but then you read this
So the question is, why make jokes that heavily rely on the tone of your voice, on a written medium? I don't understand. At least add a "winky"...

I saw two different Titanic movies when I was a kid, (A Night To Remember, and S.O.S Titanic) and somehow I knew it was based on real events. Raise The Titanic! was published in 1976, and later became a movie in 1980. Pretty sure my Dad had the paperback at the time.
The searches for the wreck before Bob Ballard's expedition were news fodder in the '70's even.
Young or not, you'd have to be in a cave not to have ever seen something on tv or elsewhere about real items recovered from the ship being on tour the past decade or so.
IIRC, there were people back in the 80's about who thought Wings was Paul's first band. ;)

That's even stranger. The Beatles broke up in 1970!

Agreed.
Dude, it was crazy. I was F5'ing his Twitter as he was live-tweeting while on the run. I saw the horrible videos he posted just 35 seconds after he tweeted them; a horrible event that'll be burned into my mind forever. :o/
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I think I slept through the whole thing. I first heard of the event after I woke up and my dad told me about it. One of the things he said was that the Twitter account was deactivated/deleted. [sarcasm]I wonder why.[/sarcasm]

A character flaw: morbid curiosity.

This guy was clearly mentally ill. That doesn't get him off the hook for what he did, but there needs to be some way to identify/deal with someone who's lost touch with reality before it comes to this.
There was a similar tragedy in my town 22 years ago. The shooter had a similar perception that organizations or individuals had somehow personally wronged him. He took the lives of four people including a police officer before they got him.
