Flat Earth Q&A / A Few Questions

this entire website could be a giant joke to get people to post idiotic and poorly spelt arguments and make themselves look like fools…

I resent that.  I like to think I make good arguments.  And don't give FEers too much credit, they can sound just like the outraged REers as well.

I think most of us agree that the earth, flat or not, was formed 4.6 billion years ago.

Suddenly the FE'ers beliefs don't sound so ridiculous...

If you made sense, you wouldn't have to ask people to listen to you because you make sense.


If you didn't listen to me, how would you know whether or not I make sense?

Wow.  *drops down a level to speak to DogPile(?)*
It's a general statement that can be said about anyone.  Nice try though, keep it up...

Now you get a taste of how much bullcrap we RE believers get everyday from your FE stuff.

No one is forcing you to be here.  Way you show ignorance about the subect and the website.

I'd make sense if you'd only listen to what I was saying.

If you made sense, you wouldn't have to ask people to listen to you because you make sense.

The point you're trying to make is not interesting.

But you know, don't let me stop you.

*laughs*
I think it's funny that someone else is using the FE logic.  So I guess you're saying FE's topics aren't interesting...?

I'm sure someone has an excuse for it.

There is a mountain behind that glacier. And the link says Margerie Glacier.

It's just a glacier in Alaska...
..or so that URL states.:P

Haven't you ever seen Alderaan, man? That thing was freakin' real!

Somehow I expected a statement such as this.

Silly mephistopheles, those are the pictures trying to prove that he is, in fact, human and not a monkey.

How very mature.[/sarcasm]

I thought, since you do not know how to differentiate the obvious differences between literal statements and sarcastic ones, I'd add a "sarcasm" tag in there for you.  You're welcome.

why don't you get into the 21st century and not place so much trust in mere images, havent you been to the movies? images are easily faked. you need to rely on other evidence that the earth is round

Please don't tell me you use a computer, and you can't tell when a movie uses CGI.  If so, that's pretty sad.

I think I'll just enjoy the Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi.

No way!  Theres a marathon?!
Cya.

Ah, that might've worked, except you were the one who stated the analogy.  Nice try.

It was to make a point that fell on deaf ears

The eyes aren't blind.  You just proved the point was invalid.

Ifs don't matter since there is no way to tell if I would be happier or not

Exactly, so why use that as an example?

I wasn't "barking" at you. It was a simple observation.

Sure came accross that way.

My posts must not be too hard to understand

I said "hardly", so obviously I can understand them, for now.

Quote
Maybe I am overestimating you in thinking that you don't really think things are as literal as they may sound.

Easy to overestimate me, nothing to brag about.  I said I wasn't much of a threat.

Quote
I said I would not want to be mentally challenged(read: mentally retarded), since they are essentially ignorant because they don't have the capability to not be ignorant.

You say that now, but as you said yourself, you might not think that way if you were.  Who knows, maybe if you were mentally challenge, you might be much happier than you are now.

Maybe I also looked too deeply into what you were saying.

Then why would you bark at me, if you thought I was doing the same thing.  Hypocrisy is not very nice to spread.

Quote
I'm not even sure why you seem to be puzzled at being told you look into things too deeply.

I'm puzzled by the fact that you make a point of calling me out on "reading into things" too much, when you obviously do the same thing.

If my posts are becoming hard to read and you can't understand what I'm talking about simply quit replying.

Oh so it's my fault that you lack basic communication skills?  How bold.

Quote
I believe you know what I mean when I say find.

I'm not going to answer your question, just because you don't know how.

Quote
I don't think you take things to be as literal as you like to make it seem.

Really?  And when is the last time you met me?

Quote
Ignorance or intelligence is the question and I know one thing: I would not want to be mentally challenged.

Once again, you're arguing with yourself.  No one said anything about being mentally challenge.

Yes, you did use a direct quote. However, when you quoted what I said in your message ("reading too much") then you inconspicuously left out that very key word.

I never said you've never accused me of that.  I simply stated that I've never been insulted for "reading too much".  Sorry for not spacing the to statements...?

Besides, my point was I left an exact quote of your statement.  And I did.  That means when you said that I didn't, you lied, that makes atleast 3 tonight.

Quote
It appeared here that you were looking for a deeper meaning where there really was none. I have been accused of this before, also.

I didn't think you'd do it twice in a row, but since you did, I'll just quote myself from last time:
Quote from: "Me"
How would you know, unless you too have looked deeply into it, in which case you would be doing something barked at me about.

23
Stop.

24
Treb seriously, stop.  You're feeding a fire.

25
Your posts are becoming hard to read, I can hardly, if at all, tell which of my statements you're talking about.

Quote
A person with a closed mind looking for a million dollars may not "find" a million dollars

And yet you say they can, as if it's a fact:
Quote
A person can, in fact, find whatever they want with a closed mind.


Quote
Which is worse? Ignorance or Intelligenc?

Although this has no bearing on our conversation, I'll answer it anway:
In my opinion, and I'm sure others would agree, it depends on the situation.

1. I meant you look too deep into things where there really is not much depth.
 
How would you know, unless you too have looked deeply into it, in which case you would be doing something barked at me about.


Quote
2. When quoting me you left out the one crucial word: into. That's alright, though, since I see you knew not what I meant.

Sorry to disappoint you, but you're wrong, I did and still do have the work "into" in your quote.  That's alright though, it's your right to misread things then write false information about it, though it doesn't make you look so good.

I never said the earth is flat.

Then why would you ask if I was reffering to that?

Quote
Actually, I was wrong on some points.

Thank you.

Quote
A person can, in fact, find whatever they want with a closed mind.

So if I closed my mind and looked for a million dollars, would I find it?

Quote
The sad thing is all that they find is what they want to find.

Is that a bad thing?  What if that person suddenly had an open mind and then found something that ruins his life?  Which is more sad?

Quote
As far as things that are simply black and white go, I guess I was being a bit too general there.

Thank you, again.

I have a feeling you don't even know what I meant

Likewise, sir.  But since your you've stated it, how about enlightening us, mere mortals, on what you meant?

Quote
You cut and splice my words

If you'd look again, you'd see that I made an exact quote of what you said.  If you you don't want someone to analyze your words in a debate, then maybe you shouldn't try debating.

Quote
maybe I will quit posting in threads you post in.

Well, you know what they say, "If you can't stand the heat...".
But there's no reason to be scared, I'm not much of a threat.
