I'm going with a utopian dream here, there are lots of intelligent Americans that will follow their hearts and Bernie will be the next president.

What's that all about then?

Why are you asking here?  You should ask NASA folks. 

Ask the folks at NASA to show you a live view from space.  Ask GoogleEarth too and see what they say.  Tell them "I just want to see a timelapse video of the 24-hour sun in Antarctica, if you do not mind."  All you need is a camera attached to 1 of their fancy satellites or a weather balloon.  I expect it to be a marvelous sight to see.  Too bad all you got is an amateur fish-eye lens Youtube video.  What a sad state of scientific inquiry.

Your wish?

Some of it is mundane stuff of the space cowboys doing their work (battling aliens & diverting in bound asteroids) but when they are off duty you get HD live feed of the earth, with a map below of it's position, which if it's dark you can use to go outside and see it fly by, bonus!  Of course it's all fake.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: A question for all round earthers

« on: January 17, 2016, 09:55:49 PM »

A decent question.

I think for me the answer would lie in the way religion was dealt with, as a child you believe what you are told but over the years incongruence's appear  between what you are told and what you perceive, the fact that no two religions seemed to be able to agree is mirrored in FE with their maps and competing philosophies.
I think in the end it would be direct observation that would lead me to believe they were wrong, like JK... I am an amateur astronomer and watcher of the skies, two things stand out as being demonstrably wrong in the main FE world, sunsets; having watched countless times the sun sinking into the sea whilst being told (in the FE alternative reality) it doesn't, it fades away.
But also the subtle signs of roundness, earth shadow  http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz973.htm  ,eclipses , watching the night sky rotate, not only through a single night but through the seasons and the roundness of everything else we observe.

Ban him and all his "alt" children.

I edited your post so that you're not breaking the first two rules of the forum.  This way you learn a valuable lesson, don't have to serve a ban, and everyone goes home happy.

You are most kind, but happy doesn't come close, try delirious.

Hi Jonny, welcome to the FES.

Please don't be too bothered by our village idiot, Jura. Some Round Earthers are very upset by our site's existence and seem to make a point of being rude to newcomers.

Au-contraire Sexpest! There was no insult intended, Jonny seemed to be having a crisis, vis-a-vis his telescope, I merely wished to relieve him of his burden, and far from being upset at your existence, I delight in it.
Welcome Jonny and a good new year (2016 that is, not 1838).

Look, these gun threads never go anywhere. You end up with a bunch of eurocucks claiming guns are bad and then some guy from Britain will come in and brag about their gun control, completely forgetting they live on an island. After that, the USA brigade quotes the second amendment and reminds everyone that repealing an amendment is borderline impossible. The end.

So all your 4,600 odd posts have turned you into scrooge!

We aren’t allowed to work ourselves into a mood of questionable moral superiority and you don’t want to get that red mist where the only possible out is to put on your dungarees and machine-gun Wall-mart? Your Pappy will be turnin’ in his grave, have yourself some moonshine boy.

All I hear is some blinkered good old boy who didn't read the whole post

Is it common in your country to respond to evidence with speculation?

I don't see any evidence, and the speculation is all on the side of the “milkman”, gun control didn't kill those millions, tyrants with their followers did, no causal relation exists between the two.

Take Hitler, despite the gun control put in by the Versailles treaty he managed the Beer Hall Putsch but I am expected to believe that  the 1% of Germany's population (the Jews) could have fought off the Nazi's, both sides would have been able to get arms if they became widely available and they would have still been massively outnumbered.

As far as Stalin is concerned armed civilians were the problem in the first place, that is what the Bolsheviks were.

What a complete and utter load of garbage!

Where to start?
Well China, Russia and Cambodia to begin, all of these revolutions started with an uprising against an incumbent state with an army, at the end of which these places were awash with weapons, so if a regular army with tanks and planes couldn't stop say Mao, you expect me to believe that what was left of the population could have done it with a few hunting rifles? Please?

This ridiculous myth that good old cotton eyed Joe with his second amendment is all that stands between you and anarchy/genocide is fantasy. Grow up.

All I see is one poster that has presented evidence of gun control leading to bad events and another poster that responds with "ur dum grow up lol"
