It's 2015 and you aren't even close to owning a Spaceship

Yay! Calamity Jane is back & brought the Comedy Gold with her!

How, exactly, do I 'go to NASA', little mouse?

It is an Organisation, not a Place.

If you'd said 'go to NASA H.Q.' or similar I may have understood you; but how can I go to an abstract, uncentralised entity?

Does visiting their shonky website count? If so, I've already been.

& it was shit.

Every single time you post, your foot ends up in your mouth; it is priceless.

Wait a second.


How do we know Papa Legba exists?

We don't have any empirical evidence for his existence. All we have is some forum account that could easily be a bot. He does constantly repeat statements.

I asked the same thing several pages back. Got no responce out of Papa Legba. Serious evidence of being a bot!

Interesting theory,   is Papa Legless a bot?   First impression I would have to say no,  a bot would be smarter.   No programmer would release a bot that can only generate insults and no intelligent content.
My money would be on a 14 year old who has borrowed his big sisters laptop.

Do I detect the sound of BAWtism?

Doglover et al: If you think me a 'bot', then stop responding to me; as I have stated before, none of you will be missed.

Calamity Jane: I think the neutral reader knows exactly which one of us is 'incapable of understanding what's being said'. As I have repeatedly stated, the fact that you do not like the answer I give you does not entitle you to a different one.

Narcissism much?

As for the question of whether personally experiencing something is the only way to gain knowledge of it; sounds like a good way to bog someone down in minutiae to me...

Tell you what; why don't you start a thread on the subject & I'll respond there, if I choose.

Oh! You have.

 & I haven't.

No; this thread is for the topic of whether or not you have been to space, thus gaining you direct, unambiguous empirical evidence for what it's like.

Answer, or do not answer; it makes no difference to me.

LOL!!!

You talk of the depth of MY delusions???

That's priceless, coming from a 29-contentless-posts, obvious-butthurt-sock-puppet-is-obvious, anonymous internet non-being!

& you talk about me being a bot...

Nice try, kid, but I told you before; you're out of your league.

Back to your snot-&-resentful-tears-filled hugbox now; better luck next time.

IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO SPACE THEN YOU HAVE NO DIRECT & UNAMBIGUOUS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR WHAT IT'S LIKE.

THEREFORE YOUR WORD ON THE SUBJECT IS WORTHLESS.

Answer, or do not answer; it makes no difference to me.

Markjo: No, I didn't admit that; yet again you show your utter inability to read.

Unsurprising, from someone who doesn't even know what the word 'ALL' means...

You know, for a while there, happy-fascist markjo, I thought you were to be my new source of comedy gold, now that bijane has retreated into her mouse-hole Australian hugbox; but everything you write really is too empty, insipid & tedious even for that.

What exactly is your point then?

Rayzor: Let me explain to you too: shut up.

& also learn to read.

But enough of all that; this thread is not about you.

It's about me. And I've decided it's now time for another operant conditioning session.

Now, I realise that operant conditioning works best in conjunction with some form of reward/punishment regime; sadly for you, though, I'm all out of Carrots...

So you'll just have to keep settling for the Stick.

Anyhow: IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO SPACE THEN YOU HAVE NO DIRECT & UNAMBIGUOUS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR WHAT IT'S LIKE.

THEREFORE YOUR WORD ON THE SUBJECT IS WORTHLESS.

Oh, & Mikey T L;dr - tl;dr, 'puppet-master'.

Cos if you AIN'T actually BEEN to space (Australia, NASA, the corner store for that matter) then you CAN NOT state with any certainty what it's like.

A child can see this; but you lot? No chance.

Why?

I don't care.

That's your problem, not mine.

Now get on with enjoying your usual sock-puppet shit-post shout-down.

Misero & Doglover: LOL! + fail = you.

Now carry on with your self-trolling & shit-posting...

The operant conditioning will continue when you've all shot your wads & calmed down.

I asked if any of you have been to space.

It's a 'yes' or 'no' question, not a goddamn philosophical treatise.

Cos if you AIN'T actually BEEN to space, then you CAN NOT state with any certainty what it's like.

Bijane: I answered you; now STFU.

Have you been to NASA yet?

Papa, if you make an argument solely rooted in fallacious reasoning, it is bound to collapse.
Making semantic arguments and personally attacking people won't get you very far.

Thanks for "crossing the floor" on this.

Huh?
I'm assuming that was a sarcastic remark.
I thought we were friends.

Markjo: tb;dr (Too Boring; Didn't Read).

Not sarcastic. In the upper fora, usually FEers do not stick up for REers and vice versa is all; so thanks. Now just say "you are welcome", before this gets too bromantic.
