Fair enough.

Now go create a thread about China, eh?

Make even more of a fool of yourselves with your false analogies, which compare two things that do not share similar properties.

For example; China is ON & PART OF the earth, whereas SPACE is, well, pretty much the exact opposite...

Add that to the fact that all analogies will eventually break down into a reductio ad absurdum if argued over at length & you have a recipe for massive fail.

Which is probably what you want, as you seem to have no interest in 'truth' per se; just preventing other people discussing or discovering it.

Nice work, aspie; that hugbox must get lonely & frustrating... guess you need to vent somehow.

All the same, you can still stfu & get back into it... & take your FAILED analogy with you.

So, if they didn't admit to being fictional (or known to be that by convention), then they are assumed to be true. Interesting.

NASA in fact claims to do things for real so I am not sure why you bizarre guilty by omission argument is being made.

Bijane: my question has NOT been shown to be irrelevant, meaningless & a waste of time; all that has been shown is just how desperate you space-cadets are to make that out to be the case.

& the only way you had to do so was with a crappy analogy to Australia.

Which I destroyed several posts ago.

Papa, I have three honest questions, and sorry in advance for pestering you.

Q1. Does your direct, unambiguous, empirical evidence model apply to everything that one has not personally experienced?
Because thats where i think Jane and Lemmi are going with their Australia analogy.

Q2. When, if ever, can someone's word on a subject mean anything if they haven't directly experienced it?

Q3. What are the differences between Australia/China/Djibouti and space in this model?
Because apparently the Karman line is what separates the earth from space, and that is only 100 km up.
I think it is probably further to go to get to Australia/China/Djibouti than it is to get to space.

Again, sorry to pester you, but you are going to reply anyway, so I thought I might ask a few questions.

BTW- What is a "hugbox"? I have never come across that term before.
They are taking the hobbits to Isengard.

Legion, tappet & I both told these BAWtists the same thing many posts ago; but they just lie & say we didn't.

What can you do? You can't debate with liars.

That's why I don't bother & just hammer home my point while sending up every stupid thing they say.

So it's good that they say a LOT of stupid things eh?

Like bijane just now; b.j. dear, you do realise that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery don't you?

It also shows a total lack of imagination; but then that's par for the course with you is it not?

Along with lying, idiocy, narcissism, illiteracy, lack of humour or logic & absence of all self-awareness & social skills.

But you still got your good old hugbox ain't you?

So STFU & get back into the goddamned thing & stop making a complete buffon of your sad, lonely self.

& scrotalsac; if you're now trying to say that space IS part of the earth then you can just STFU & crawl back into your hobbit-hole hugbox too... Reductio ad absurdum here we come!!!

You lot'll try anything won't you... Pathetic!

& STILL none of you have been to space, you utter, utter losers.

So; mikeman.nasa.gov hasn't been to space either & thus has no 1st-hand evidence for anything he says on the subject.

This is like pulling teeth...

Anyhow; one more down.

Next!

Anyone else here been to space?

Or call the mods; go running to daddy, little child...

I believed this.
Then recently the tv showed me "Wild China" Mountains, animals, forests and not a bloody person in sight, WTF.
So, I do not know what is true, I have not been there.
With no experience of China I will not be telling anybody what it is like.

I believe you are attributing my actions to Misero.  This is incorrect.  Some may have  joined in the festivities, but since the admins are rather absent here, my goal was to get the racist troll to leave, I hope my actions were not in vain.
On a side note, If you would take Misero's word for it if he had went into space, why not take an astronaut's word for his/her experiences?  Why do all the thousands of videos and photos from space have to be faked, yet if one still image of a video when the camera distorts the image to look either concave or flat is the "real" thing?  Why do you lot have such a problem understanding your size in relation to the Earth?  That is the entire crux of the thing anyway, you do not understand science, so you do not trust it, you cannot reason beyond the simplest things around you, yet you insist that everyone else is stupid.  Why must all science be thrown out?  Why can't you lot come up with a map?  Wait I will answer that one.  Because every time you try to, it doesn't work with reality.  If you try to get it to work with the path of the sun, then distances are completely wrong, if you try to get it to work with distances then something else breaks.  No flat Earth map can explain the Southern hemisphere, Southern circumpolar stars and Northern circumpolar stars at the same time, no amount of misstating light refraction can explain sunsets, or the stars dropping below the horizon.  None of the explanations about how ships sink below the horizons work for flat Earth ideas either.  The perspective argument is completely broken, as most of you have no clue as to how light really works.  So you cling onto your little fantasy, thinking you are being cute by always either derailing a thread or bringing out strawman tactics, etc.  Your main sources of experimental data that you love to bring out disagrees with itself and other sources.  Odd how we need to make so many assumptions to get flat Earth to even work worth 1% of reality.  The only real argument you really have is "it looks flat".  Sorry this will not do as an explanation. 
Challenge me if you wish, I know you will.  I am expecting one in particular to say exactly what I think he will, and I will begin my pupet master routine with him as well.

If you have not, you have no direct, unambiguous, empirical evidence for what it is like there, so your opinion on the subject is worthless.

On a side note, If you would take Misero's word for it if he had went into space, why not take an astronaut's word for his/her experiences?  Why do all the thousands of videos and photos from space have to be faked, yet if one still image of a video when the camera distorts the image to look either concave or flat is the "real" thing?  Why do you lot have such a problem understanding your size in relation to the Earth?  That is the entire crux of the thing anyway, you do not understand science, so you do not trust it, you cannot reason beyond the simplest things around you, yet you insist that everyone else is stupid.  Why must all science be thrown out?  Why can't you lot come up with a map?  Wait I will answer that one.  Because every time you try to, it doesn't work with reality.  If you try to get it to work with the path of the sun, then distances are completely wrong, if you try to get it to work with distances then something else breaks.  No flat Earth map can explain the Southern hemisphere, Southern circumpolar stars and Northern circumpolar stars at the same time, no amount of misstating light refraction can explain sunsets, or the stars dropping below the horizon.  None of the explanations about how ships sink below the horizons work for flat Earth ideas either.  The perspective argument is completely broken, as most of you have no clue as to how light really works.  So you cling onto your little fantasy, thinking you are being cute by always either derailing a thread or bringing out strawman tactics, etc.  Your main sources of experimental data that you love to bring out disagrees with itself and other sources.  Odd how we need to make so many assumptions to get flat Earth to even work worth 1% of reality.  The only real argument you really have is "it looks flat".  Sorry this will not do as an explanation. 
Challenge me if you wish, I know you will.  I am expecting one in particular to say exactly what I think he will, and I will begin my pupet master routine with him as well.

Fantastic incite into the way conspiracy theorists minds work, Mikey. It doesn't matter what it is, NASA, 911, FE, Vaccines, Fluoride in the water, anything Heiwa says, it all boils down to that.

The mind of a conspiracy theorist lines up exactly with this:
"Humans like to make all of their problems into a single thing they can fight, and not treat it as the complex web of problems that it is."
I am the worst moderator ever.

Sometimes I wonder: "Why am  I on this site?"
Then I look at threads about clouds not existing and I go back to posting and lurking. Lurk moar.

Can't argue with that.

What an idiotic thing to write.

1. Have you studied the mind of a conspiracy theorist? If so, which one(s)?
2. Who are you quoting? Quotation marks indicate the words are not yours, so the source should be provided.
3. What is the evidence/reasoning behind this conclusion?

Why do you think there is a conspiracy out to get you and all other people knowing the truth? And I got that quote from a children's show called Steven Universe. (To put it in context, they were talking about a man who thinks snake people rule the world). Another one:
"Humans lead short, unimportant lives, so they personify their problems to give the illusion of making some sort of difference"
