People often, in the act of being racist ascribe cultural practices to people of certain phenotypes. Unfortunately though many educated people are still racist. There are strong evolutionary reasons to mistrust outsiders and as high minded as people get, “awareness” and education aren’t always the cure. Sometimes it’s patience and forbearance.

Assuming you are correct and it is some kind of weakness or bad habit.

But if it is a very natural way to stop competition in your own backyard, end subsidies to those leeching from your community and stop an upheaval of your own culture to make way for an invasive one ... then it should be encouraged, not 'educated away' or 'making people aware' that your viewpoint is the only one that is correct. This is a very dangerous experiment and it is only happening to white people. No one else is inviting the world to live with them. Everyone else has a home they can call their own.

Well one could say the same for the 'theory of evolution' or the 'theory of relativity'. I don't see anyone moaning that those theories are written as fact. Its the theory of evolution, it isn't 'the facts of evolution'. Or are those "opinions" not open for debate?

Don't come here with your double standards. Go to the science community and get your own glass house in order first, before you start throwing stones at ours.

Also, yours is not a legitimate concern. It is an angry rant. We have a separate board for those.

Why should we give a crap about any other race?

Why should people give a crap about others of their own race? Why should people care about those beyond those closest to them, their family and friends?

You might want to have sex with the girl down the road or the sister of some guy in the pub. But you aren't going to want to have sex with a black person.
You might want to hire a talented expert for your company. Black people aren't talented.
You might want to sell your products to other people. Black people don't have any money.

You should give a crap about people who enrich your life. Not so much those who don't.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Amateur radio shows the earth is round

« on: September 12, 2018, 03:02:07 PM »

None of what you described about the proparation of different frequencies in the atmosphere and the bouncing off of the ionosphere seems to have any correlation to a Round Earth.

The round earth model explains that the range of VHF signals is limited due to the curvature of the earth. But HF signals can travel much further because they bounce off the ionosphere. How do you explain that in the flat earth model?

Why would we need to? We don't need a 'bounce' on a flat earth and we can still have a bounce from an Ionoplane if we wanted one. We also don't need bending for ground waves. We are in a far better place than you are to explain radio.

Hunters don't aim for the head, you nut. Aim for the heart and stop using meme calibers. Just use .30-06 like any other Fudd.

I haven't unlocked those types of rifle yet. My next rifle when I can afford it will be a Whitlock Model 86 Lever Action rifle.

And also this is a game. The heart shots are often not as effective as the head. Especially with something like a moose. You can't penetrate deep enough. Also even if you can hit the heart, the animal then takes off at 30mph. You then have to follow the blood and find the corpse. And sometimes you can't find the damn thing, so you don't get your bonuses. But hit it in the brain and it drops on the spot. No searching. That said, I hit a stag in the head last night and it dropped to the floor. I unlocked a steam achievement that said "This is not a zombie game". I laughed and then shot a fawn.

Well still loving this. I'm getting better but still make terrible mistakes.

I went out with a my 0.270 calibre rifle. Its a good size rifle but I happened upon a moose. A male moose. And it was huge. I wanted to kill it so bad. I got up real close, took aim at its skull and pulled the trigger. My rifle was never going to pierce the chest and take its heart or lungs.

Bang. Yep, this moose then takes off. It'll fall over dead soon I thought. Nope. It started charging up and down the river bank. I had to hide. Undeterred I eventually caught up to it, picked my moment. Bang. Straight in the skull. It took off again, charging and mooing and staggering and charging. Anyway. Third times a charm. Another head shot. Nope, its running off like a crazy thing again charging the other animals and making a real commotion. The 4th bullet to the skull put it down. This ordeal was about 20 mins long.

Anyway, its dead now.


It looks small lying down. It was about 7 foot tall without anthers.

Had a similar thing with a bear that needed 3 shots to go down. Stupid bear.



Well, blood lust satisfied for another day.

Arts & Entertainment / The Hunter: Call of the wild

« on: September 09, 2018, 04:21:22 PM »

So I bought a new computer game. Its a hunting simulator. I wanted something where there was progression, but you can pick it up and leave it as you like. Something calm and slow paced. Blowing the entrails out of the back of a blacktail deer is perfect for me.



I'm not very good at the game. I keep winging all the animals and not really killing them. I've been hitting them in the shoulder blades, in the meat of their neck, in their jaws, their stomachs ... I'm not great at the kill shot. The upshot is that I'm now walking around a national park where almost all the animals are limping and nursing horrendous injuries. They are leaking blood everywhere, they are behaving strangely and not going to the places they used to ...

I was initially thinking, meh, just shoot anything that moves and if it dies great, and if it doesn't ... no matter. Its only when I came across a herd of 8 deer and found 6 of them were nursing injuries I'd already given them, I realised the monster I have become. I'm now going back to the places I've been to euthanise all the animals I missed the first time ... if I can find them which mostly I can't.

The game is really beautiful, the scenery is stunning, water and weather effects are great. The screenshot above is how the game actually looks. I like that the grass flattens when I walk on it. The animals move properly, the detailed anatomy shots showing where you hit them are great, nice to know if you smashed their spine or they suffocated on their own blood.


You really do have to hit them in the right place to shatter vertebra or pierce their heart. Head shots need to be through the brain. When you find an animal you maimed earlier, you get to see where those bullets went and why it didn't kill them. Starting to favour shooting Bambi in the spine now. That drops them fast.

There's good progression. Skills, lures, guns. Trying to shoot a moose with the rifle I have is practically impossible. They also get aggressive and charge at you. Currently a good shot will kill a black bear, but brown bears seem to soak up my bullets. Rabbits are too easy and I get a low ethics score for shredding them. I think I need to save up for a shotgun. My best kill was an elk which I switched to my 60lb compound bow and devastated its tailbone. Immediately paralysed I went to pick up the XP and in game credits. Best harvest yet. I missed a white stag, well missed isn't the best description, its still hobbling around somewhere. But you get trophy animals and rare animals.

Online reviews claim bugs etc, but its been out for a while now and I haven't found any. Perfect game for me. Just my kind of thing. Very happy with it.

that this game will be a lot more narrow in scope and roleplaying than it really should be.

This is my fear and the turn off for me. I feel like it is going to be more of a 3D platform game than an open world RPG. I just get the sense you aren't going to be able to deviate from the story so much ... the battle footage I saw reminded me of time crisis, where you shoot the bad guys and move to the next station to shoot the next bunch. My interest will depend on how locked down it is.

Flat Earth Community / Re: YouTube now censoring and demoting Flat Earth videos

« on: September 07, 2018, 10:18:18 PM »

My objection to this proposal is because we have had this discussion before regarding a video library.

And I suggested we collect the best videos ... ie ones that we like and ones that fit with our view of FET. But Tom was against this.

If I understand this right, this forum is only for the model you like ?
If people like me, who are convinced earth is flat, since there is no curvature, but also believes something that differ from your model, can not post anything that differ from your model ?

Your views on earth's shape are perfectly fine. I don't care what you think even if you think the earth is round. And I don't care what flat earth models are examined. There are many I don't like such as the bipolar model, there are some I think are ridiculous like the infinite plane model. But I don't care if videos on either appear in our library. The problem with youtubers is that they aren't all about the flat. Some also subscribe to other conspiracy theories such as lizard people, alien overlords, holocaust denial, Islamic fundamentalism, paedophilia ... you dig about and you'll find flat earth videos that go off on a tangent. Some are pro-Israel, some anti-semetic, some pro-gay, some anti-gay, some pro-Trump etc etc etc. And if we host videos with those views in a our library, we will be asked why? And its a fair question. We are about earth's shape ... and that's the message. But youtubers have a nasty habit of making all their views available in the same videos and we don't share all those views. Which is why I don't think we can just scrape a library together. It needs to be carefully chosen, to make sure its about earth's shape and that's it.

Tom wants to make the site a protector of their views. A place where they are all kept together in one place. But some of their views are batshit, some are wicked and some are dangerous. Its not what they think about earth's shape. Its what they thnk about everything else I worry about. Flat earthers on youtube tend to be a little unhinged. A high risk group, if you like.

Ah, now there's a brief breath of fresh air. Metro.co.uk (a large British newspaper run by the same group as perhaps the slightly more internationally-known Daily Mail) have now covered the OP (or at least the Everest photo aspect of it) without attempting to skew what I'm saying, but rather acknowledging the point. On the off-chance that Rob Waugh, the author of the article, sees this: thank you!

And then there's this tabloid who doesn't seem to have understood anything of what I said.

There are different Civilisations unknown to the knowledge of this Man on this small piece of earth. All what you Imagine already exists.
There are GODS with special powers and you too can become GOD if you practice towards it in this life to have the birth of GOD in the next life.
Gods, Devils, humans, animals, trees etc exist . GODHOOD is possible to every human.

[Citation needed].

There is no evidence of other civilisations. I can imagine a purple donkey overload that steals the teeth of children but that doesn't already exist.
Which GODS, what special powers and if you start to think you are GOD, its time to go to your GP. Not start acting out your fantasy.
GODHOOD is exactly that and by definition, is not possible to mortal men.

Yes - I'm slowly finding this to be a much more interesting and worthwhile endeavour than FET itself. FET yields itself well into the "question absolutely everything" mindset, but perhaps it doesn't go far enough. Perhaps a more general movement is needed.

That is why Rowbotham and Lady Blount called their societies the Zetetic Society and the Universal Zetetic Society rather than the Flat Earth Society.

However both these societies were largely unsuccessful. More people on earth have heard of 'The Flat Earth Society' - it is part of the lexicon, than had ever head of The Universal Zetetic Society. I think keep the message simple ... the earth is flat. Where you go from there is another matter, but I don't think a rename would be a good idea.
