NO! YOU'RE WRONG! YOU LIKE TO SING SONGS ABOUT TOBOGGANING!
(Anyone who gets that reference wins)
Well, this thread is for any incredibly dumb arguments.
For example, an argument over whether or not Veggie Tales should be called Veggie Tales when Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are technically both fruits...

Fruity Tales doesn't sound nearly as great, nor does Fruit 'n Veggie Tales. I'm afraid it was sheer marketing, Schmergo.
I do NOT like to sing songs about tobogganing! How could you say such a thing?

The tomato fruit vs. vegetable thing is an entire debate in itself that I would /really/ love not to get into. xD The thing is, the bulk of the characters on veggietales are asparagus and peas. xP So the veggie thing is rather appropriate, I'd say. Cucumbers are fruits? Seriously?! I've been lied to all of my life!!! ;-;

Fruity tales would definitely scare off some of the viewers who are alot more religious than others when it comes to T.V.

Hahahaha, and Veggie Tales is Christian!
I remember in first grade, we had to take a test where we identified the fruits and vegetables on a page, and I got in a HUGE argument with my teacher over whether tomatoes and cucumbers were fruits or veggies. (I said 'fruit.' She told me I was completely wrong and that she was a teacher, and that she knew for sure that they were vegetables.)

A mandrill is a colourful baboony thing. Their exhibit in the Catoctin Zoo is too small and decrepit, and they're fun to take care of in Zoo Tycoon.
This has been the Mandrill Moment. Join us next week for the John Mandrake Moment! (No, I did NOT marry him...)

You know FLUFFY-HAIR GIRL, what you said about getting into that argument about the tomato in first grade? Yeah, well, the same thing happened to me in fifth grade, fifth grade! It was also the only year I went to that school, coincidence? Yes! It is a complete coincidence! But back to my topic. The teacher (she was Italian, they always say Italian are ten years behind us, she was probably about fifty years behind), said that a tomato was a vegetable because it was. That. Was. It. That had been her argument, well, besides the oh so mature 'Because I said so' (That came up a lot.) So, yeah. That's pretty much all I have to say on the subject. - H.G.

Wait, why did it change what I wrote? Is it a kind of weird argument starter thing, because I wrote S-H-M-E-R-G-O

Hehehehe, my name is spelled "Schmergo." People kept spelling it wrong, and so Aku made a filter that "censors" it when you spell it wrong. My hair is fluffy, so it changes it to FLUFFY HAIR GIRL.
"A tomato is a vegetable because it is." Wow, what a shockingly brilliant thing for a teacher to say! Har har, Xim (a member of this site) is of Italian heritage, and he's kind of hardcore about it ("Spaghetti is good because I AM ITALIAN!"), and he'd probably sulk in a corner for a few hours after hearing you say Italians are ten years behind us... ^_^
There are an awful lot of inside jokes on this thread (like the stuff about marrying John Mandrake and selling newspapers), so I'm sorry if you're confused.

Sorry, it took me so long to figure out that I was missing the c in your name SCHMERGO (Yay, it's spelled right!) So okay, maybe not ALL of Italy is ten years behind, but my town sure is. In fact, I'm surprised this teacher didn't forget that you're not permitted to use the ruler on kids anymore (she was really old), of course, then again, she made up for it ten-fold by screaming like a banshee even if we did something really minor like ask to borrow a pencil (because obviously it meant we were trying to cheat on our work!) So sorry, if the whole thing on Italians being ten years behind offended you, but you've got to admit, in Italy, the government stinks, the econemy's tanking, and the schooling system varies drastically throughout the country (I went to this Italian school in another part of Italy when I was younger, by second grade, I knew division. There's this girl whose in second grade here, she's just learnt subtraction!) But my point is, on a whole, Italy's a great country- to visit. Living in it's no piece of pizza (get it? Pizza, it's Italy, haha?). Especially Naples, and starting in February, I'll be moving there for five months, blah. (Trust me, I've heard horror stories.) - H.G.

Awww, I didn't say I was offended that you said parts of it were ten years behind! I was making fun of my friend Xim, who's exceedingly proud of being of Italian origin. ^_^ And I'm one of those hardcore German-American people.
