I'm sorry, are you really implying that Trump is a paragon of honesty?
And the 2016 Strawman award goes to... ROUNDY! Do you have anything to say to your family and friends after winning this prestigious award?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: How big is the universe?
« on: May 11, 2016, 02:59:28 PM »And while we're at it, in what shape?
I mean this as a truthful question to FEs, because the thought of a universe that is only a few thousand kilometers across is just... depressing.
I mean, do you know how big the universe is? Like really, really big. As in, if the sun and the next closest star were the size of tennis balls, they would be on opposite sides of the continual United States. HUGE! There's so much stuff out there, and the sun, holly crap-snacks the sun isn't a spotlight. It's this massive energy factory, this huge powerhouse that provides more energy every second than every human on the planet uses all year. (And that's just the little bitty bit that hits the Earth's atmosphere)
Also: Solar Flares... how do they fit into the FET?
This is typical round-earth tactics. Their scientists aren't even sure exactly how big the universe is in their model yet we are expected to know the size.

Hmm...maybe you should read the rules or show me where in ENaG this is...
Good catch, Thatsnice.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: Teachers deserve low pay
« on: May 03, 2016, 07:12:14 PM »Menial? What do you actually know about the skills that are required to be a good teacher?
Yet, one is not required to be a "good teacher" to get hired as a teacher and make teacher-pay.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: Teachers deserve low pay
« on: April 25, 2016, 02:42:39 PM »Putting aside the debate on whether or not the job is difficult, one could argue that it should be a highly paid position just because of how necessary it is. Even if all a teacher does is regurgitate textbooks (I've seen that happen but it's definitely not the norm, at least not in my experience), people need to be educated some way or another in order for society to work. And even if they were just babysitters, y'know, those kids do need someone to supervise them all day. If we make the parents do it we'd have a catastrophic cutback on the workforce.
Jobs aren't paid by necessity. In fact, I would say the opposite is true. We need garbage persons, construction crews, truck drivers, etc to make society function. Yet, these people aren't paid that great. Conversely, do we need another programmer at Google? Do we need an all-star quarterback for our home team?
Teachers are people who wanted an easy job with tons of off time. However, once they start it, they realize they are actually working a shitty job with shitty hours for shitty pay. There is a reason why the teaching profession has a ridiculously high abandon rate. It's tough to justify staying when the person waiting tables down the street makes double your pay for half the work.
This is why many colleges are offering online programs now. They eliminate the uselessness of the teacher and require that the student self-teach their courses -- as any good student would have done in the first place. All the teacher does in these classes is grade assignments and tests.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: India Space Program proves Apollo Mission to the Moon

This should be investing.
Okay, so their magic spacecraft proved the existence of another magic spacecraft? How convenient.
So saying something that is proved to exist, doesn't exist, makes it not exist? Does that fantasy work in reverse?
It's like saying I proved that faeries existed by using my fairy wand.

« on: April 13, 2016, 12:52:03 PM »Oh, don't worry, I wasn't hoping to convince you. I was mostly curious to see if I'm missing something, or if you're just racist (so much that you're willing to go back 400 years in your desperate search. You're beating birthers on that front by quite a margin!). But no matter how many opportunities I give you to explain yourselves, all you have to say is "it's just a prank bro!" or "wow how ridiculous!"
EDIT: Actually, no, I take it back. You did partially admit it.Yes, we find many foreign names humorous sounding. If you want to argue there's insidious racism motivating that you are entitled to your opinion
Yes, I'm entitled to my opinion that things which are xenophobic by definition are, in fact, xenophobic. Thank you for allowing me to consider that truism.
I can't speak for others, but for me it's pure unbridled racism. When Taylor Swift said that haters gunna hate (hate hate hate hate), she was literally talking about me.

Technology & Information / Re: Why internet reliant products are bad
« on: April 12, 2016, 04:58:12 PM »Well when you think a software solution is too hard, what else am I gonna suggest?
Point is: everyone who spent hundreds of dollars on that smart home system now has a bunch of devices that are useless. All because the company decided to focus on another product and shut down their servers.
Why can't you just admit that there are real reasons why one would want home management functionality hosted on an outside server but we'll both agree that it's likely not the best idea?

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why a sunrise and sunset?
« on: April 09, 2016, 06:29:15 AM »Flat-earthers have answered questions like this to death. You even asked the same question in two different threads. If you want an interesting answer then ask an interesting question.
So you can't explain it either.
Not proving you an answer is not evidence of an inability to answer. You can read the FAQ or use the search function. Hell, you can probably just scroll down or page back to find your answer.
The point is there is NO answer in FAQ or Wiki that is mathematical. It is ALL of it fantasy that you cannot defend. So, your fall back position is to deflect the questioner to a part of the site that is equivelent to a gerbil running on a wheel; the faster he runs the faster he gets nowhere.
Well I am not running on that wheel. Provide a mathematical solution to why an object at a fixed altitude above a plain can be seen to go below that plain in violation of all known math and geometry.
Oh, so your mind is already completely made up? Well, I'm glad I didn't waste my time writing you a personalized and detailed answer. After all, all the info you seek is in the wiki.

« on: April 09, 2016, 06:25:47 AM »Then add a server hardware as part of the package. Something akin to a router. And really, a smart house is not somehing for the computer illiterate.Not if you juat require the customer to install it on their home pc.There is no reason that any home management hardware needs a server outside of your home. None.
What about price. It would be cheaper to have one server that controls many houses rather than individual servers.
So, then customer knowledge seems to be a huge reason to have an outsider server. Is every consumer expected to know how to set up and maintain a server to use the product? Seems like a very, very narrow market.
Now we are adding hardware? I'm close to envoking the Dave Dance here.
