The World is Flat

A must read for all the patient souls who have battled it out in the Political Forum. A personal thank you from me to Mango, Chickpea, Bob, Scooterbug, Uncle Timmy, SmiilingJoe, JohnR, Rancid, et al.

Have a good laugh on me.

A Day in the SoWal Political Forum
or The World is Flat.

Mid’lAgedP-NutGal’(ry)- I’m going to post a link here to a petition site for anyone who wants to show support for improved clean air and water regulations.

30-sAne-Interesting, I’ll check it out. Afterall, we only have one big round ball of a planet to live on and I am all for protecting our resources.

SickGen- I believe the government has no right to regulate anything. After a restaurant owner told him to put out his cigar due to federal government regulations banning smoking on the premises, Tom Delay famously responded, “I am the federal government”. Until someone proves to me we are no longer a democracy, I will respond likewise. You can go on believing in “the big round ball of a planet” nonsense if you want to and go snuggle up with every other Castro loving socialist who believes in one world government and a round planet and leave me out of your environmental Dunkirk.

Mid’lAgedP-NutGal’(ry)- Ah merde…………

30-sAne-Why is supporting clean air and water a socialist plot? And by the way, you just implied that you don’t believe in a ‘round planet’.

SickGen- I believe in the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and I believe in the wisdom of Judeo-Christian traditions. Therefore, I disagree with the theory of a heliocentric solar system and believe Zetetic Astronomy.

“Political interest can never be separated in the long run from moral right” –Thomas Jefferson.

Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and Chronicles 16:30 state that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." Psalm 104:5 says, "[the LORD] set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "the sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.”

30-sAne-How does a quote from Thomas Jefferson or the bible prove clean air and water is a socialist plot?

SickGen- I think that clearly states my point. Don’t come crying to me just because you can’t understand a quote mocking the Round World Theory. It is not my job to explain things to you that you can’t comprehend. I wish your blue state education had less emphasis on outcome based testing and political correctness too but I guess you will just have to play with the hand you were dealt.

30-sAne-Blue state what? I grew up in Alabama. What the hell is a Round World Theory and how does it prove clean air and water is a socialist plot???????? You’re not answering the question!!!!!

SickGen- You have completely misinterpreted, misquoted, misunderstood, and now mistaken my point –typical. I’ve already answered that question and moved on to the next one, Jeez! Sorry if I’m too quick for you. Maybe I need to print up mental ‘how to’ maps for all of you who’s attention span is limited due to all the pot your hippie mom smoked during pregnacy. Hint: maybe you need to look up the correct definition of theory.

30-sAne-So you’ve declared yourself the winner of the ‘clean air and water is a socialist plot’ debate and now you are debating what? Your belief that the world is flat? Ok, this ought to be entertaining……..

From Wikipedia:
In common usage, people often use the word theory to signify a conjecture, an opinion, or a speculation. In this usage, a theory is not necessarily based on facts; in other words, it is not required to be consistent with true descriptions of reality.

I think that’s pretty clear on what a theory is. And you are going to prove the world is flat based on this?

SickGen- Exactly- that proves my point. The Round World Theory isn’t called a ‘theory’ for nothing. Until you can prove otherwise, the world is flat. Thank you, -that will save me some time arguing with you on this asinine issue and now you can get back to building that Al Gore shrine.

30-sAne-Uh no, actually it doesn’t prove your point because the use of term ‘theory’ is your term and it prejudices the argument. How did Al Gore get dragged into this?

This is insane. You are actually arguing that the world is flat? Haven’t you ever seen photographs of the earth from space? You are actually arguing that the earth is flat in the face of this evidence?

SickGen- Nice red herring. Typical, you completely twist my argument. I didn’t say the earth was a square plate, I said it is a round disc,…..and the NASA pictures show this, so thank you for bringing up this information and proving my point yet again. Sorry all those hours you wasted reading Ralph Nader’s biography haven’t helped with your ability to take down the big bad capitalist.

Mid’lAgedP-NutGal’(ry)- Oh dear balled up fist, 8lb.baby Jesus……….

30-sAne-Square plate or round disc has nothing to do with it! Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Gravitational Physics etc. proved that the world is a sphere and it orbits the sun centuries ago, I’m not going to waste anymore time debating this stupid point with you.

SickGen- You haven’t proven anything. And before you go off on any more irrelevant ‘rocket pseudo-science’ maybe you need to look up your history. Werner Von Braun, the Nazi father of ‘rocket pseudo-science’ used Jewish slave labor to build his rockets. I’m guessing your support for a round world neatly ignores the enslavement and extermination of millions.

Plus, clearly you’ve never been up in a rocket so this line of reasoning is completely anecdotal anyways. Maybe you need to consider the airplane. The Wright brothers didn’t have to enslave or kill anyone to build their airplane, Oh and they did so by mocking your so-called ‘science’………….

The Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane."

By the way, airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth.

30-sAne-Von Braun and the history of rocketry is completely irrelevant to this subject. You are going off in a completely ridiculous tangent.

SickGen- Of course it is relevant. And you brought it up to defend your position after all. You follow and worshipVon Braun because he wraps himself in so-called ‘science’ while ignoring the self evident truths. Explain the millions of deaths brought about by your beloved ‘science’. Pat yourself on the back for being a cheerleader of mass extermination.

I can see that the world is flat. You can’t see the world is round so you let Nazis talk for you. How impressive.

Plus, It justifies my posting of the Jefferson quote; your political interest in a one world government cannot be separated from the moral wrong of the Nazi era tools you plan to use to get there.

30-sAne-Worship who? I don’t even know where to begin here; by your assertion, I need to go up in a rocket and orbit the earth first before I am even allowed to hold an opinion on this subject? And I must justify slavery? And I’m a Nazi?

The earth is a sphere. Period. That is widely accepted scientific fact and I do not need to prove to you the Laws of Gravity or ride on the Space Shuttle to win this argument. It is your burden to dis-prove what is widely known.

SickGen- What banal trite. I see you completely ignore my Wright brother’s quote; nice way to avoid the facts with a strawman argument. The only thing that is ‘widely known’ here is the depth of your ignorance.

30-sAne- I’m done, and you are an idiot.

SickGen- Oh what? Can’t win your argument so now you are resorting to name calling? How impressive, the facts too much for you? Thanks for throwing in the towel, it’ll save me the effort of smacking you down one more time. You’d better run along or you’ll be late to that Hillary’08 rally.

Mid’lAgedP-NutGal’(ry) - You’ve been throwing around names and insults the entire post, and by the way –you are an idiot.

SickGen- Is that all you can say cheerleader? Too hard for you to wrap your bird brain around Zetetic Astronomy? I guess we’ll look forward to seeing you raise the arm and yell ‘seig heil’ at that next Nazi rally. Glad you could contribute to the conversation, thanks.

30-sAne- All you have done here is state a belief; offer little, if any supporting facts to back up your belief and in turn deflected any contradictory evidence off onto irrelevant tangents. Oh, and spiced up every post with an inflammatory comment. This is a completely un-scientific. I say we add a new term to the SoWal dictionary to descibe it –Flat-earthing.

SickGen- You can continue as an evangelist for the most stereotypical of scientifically minded people, but I’m through responding to you.

30-sAne- Whew, thank the round heavens for that……………….
