I was sitting in the caddy shack, and these guys were discussing the greatest golfer ever, and I jokingly referred to
Kim Jong Il's golfing skill
. One guy laughed a bit, but the other guy was like "That's some sort of China bull$%^&, and I don't like China bull%^&*." Then they guy who didn't get it looked at me like I was crazy and walked off angrily. *awkward*

Sounds like you're in some educated company there, MyTie- have fun with that.
If you want to fit in, you might want to discuss less outlandish things. May I suggest Nascar, recipes involving Spam, the correct form when spitting for distance, and what kind of lingerie he can get his sister?

Dang. He came back and gave me an angry lecture about
this guy
being the best golfer in the world, and that I don't know what I'm talking about with Kim Jong Il.
Is there any way for me to patch things up with this guy? Elhonna suggests SPAM recipes.

When in doubt, re-direct all anger against Obama.
Problem fixed :P
(that was a joke, I really have no idea what to do to mend fences with a golf player, since golf isn't exactly my favorite sport)

Clearly. That's what a majority of people seem to want to do anyways! ;o

Introducing politics into a volatile situation? I prefer to just feign a sudden need to poop, and then make a hasty exit.

If you want to get along, get on his side of it. Tell him that you were making fun of Kim Jung Il, because he lied about his golf scores to impress people, and they let him get away with it because North Korea's messed up like that. It's 100% true, it will make him feel better because you both dislike the same things (I know China and North Korea are different countries, but I doubt he will), and he'll then tell you about how much he hates other countries and it will be a bonding process.

I thought about presenting facts, but then that would put him in a position where he fell for a lie. It's over with, he went out to smoke some cigarettes.

I don't think he'll be all that upset about it- I can't imagine it's the first time he didn't get a joke. And if he is upset, then oh well. I have nothing against stupid people, until they become aggressive and try to take it out on other people that they're stupid. At that point, all bets are off.

Semi-related story.
Like 4-5 years back, I had a sales job for a different company, out in Nevada. There was this one girl who I worked with who was a really, really nice sweet person. But she was kind of, well...a lot of times jokes and stuff went way over her head. My favorite conversation with her ever went something like this:
Her: And tomorrow is just going to be rainy, and cold, and I'm not going to sell anything, and it's going to suck.
Me: Way to be optimistic.
Her: What does that mean?
Me: (Thinking I've offended her) I'm just teasing.
Her: No...what does that mean. Optimistic.
Me: You mean, like, what does the word mean?
Her: Yeah

My uncle asked me how to spell "idea" once. I told him phonetically. I could tell from the look on his face that he didn't know what that meant. He hated me after that. I was 8ish.

Luckily, there are no dim bulbs in my family (at least none that I have met). A lot of my family are nuts, but none of them are stupid.

You want to use multisyllabic words?
Snob
.
Oh and I have a friend on facebook that keeps posting videos about how the Syrian dictator guy is awesome and a saint and wouldn't possibly act in his own interests rather than those of his citizens.
I have a feeling if the US invaded Spain in the 60s there would be people defending General Franco's rule of the country.

And why was he asking an 8-year old how to spell a word anyway?

I specifically said it was a joke :P
(if anything, its a horrible idea to introduce politics to a volatile situation, because you never know if the person happens to AGREE with that political view you despise, so you end up digging yourself deeper. Its also why bringing up volatile religious arguments isn't a good idea either)
Sadly, as Interest pointed out, people go on and do just that anyways. For the lulz.
