No-one is obligated or even expected to "prove" you wrong. But it is fairly reasonable to ask you to substantiate your claims. If you can't, no matter, but you should expect to be challenged on such points.
It is self evident.
I think we're about done here.
No, you're the one repeating yourself. Tell me how an American militia could counter armoured vehicles.
In 1972 itself, the Provisional IRA killed approximately 100 soldiers, wounded 500 more and carried out approximately 1,300 bombings,[77] mostly against commercial targets which they considered "the artificial economy".[78][79] While the Official IRA killed approximately 19 soldiers and wounded dozens more in just 1972 mostly though gun attacks according to the CAIN project's Sutton database.
RET is no more monolithic than FET is.Perhaps not, but RET scientific community has reached a consensus while FET community has not.
firstly the sceptical enquirer was originally called 'The Zetetic' and traced its descent from phyrro etc, then it changed its name bacause it followed the trend of the sceptic movement then in vogue, after it became milltiant truzi broke off and returned to the zetetic attitue of the original publication, so he did it for branding reasons, though to get away from it. the zetetic scholar is free whereas the sceptical enquirer is not.
So yes I do belive that is true zeteticism compared to rowbotham's halfassed attempt to give his denialism some kind of fancy name.
Flat Earth Society does not have only one theory about the shape of Earth, there are many theories instead. And none of them is totally consistent, it have several versions, each user may have his own version of it, with individual and/or inedited statements. This all makes this proposal confuse.
I have a question: Are there any books/publications that can explain with more consistency these theories?
Please name the scientist who reproduced Stellar Fusion in a lab.
And, nuclear fusion has definitely been achieved in the laboratory. Apparently you've never heard of the hydrogen bomb.
It's certainly better than the video from those two idiots on TYT.
Okay now do 5 and 6. I'm afraid Lord Wilmore didn't understand what I was saying about New Zealanders and their orientation. Do they look towards Antarctica to see the sun? Why/why not?
Do the aetheric winds make the sun appear in the northern sky for new zealanders when it fact it is south of them?
I wasn't trying to be snide or dismiss your points out of hand, but I've already agreed several times that that map is diagramming connections between ports and not recorded trajectories. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have misrepresented.
I'm merely demonstrating that there are established shipping routes between Southern Hemisphere ports. Tom said that there those routes are not traveled as frequently as Northern Hemisphere routes. Neither of you have at all explained why that matters (likely because you'd have to assert without warrant that those routes are somehow less predictable), and I provided a direct quote from the source that says that not all maritime traffic is included in their data, only large cargo vessels, and only those equipped with AIS equipment.
The reason for the disparity in traffic is fairly obvious: the largest trading partners in the world are all in the Northern Hemipshere. It's merely a byproduct of political geography. It's not because those routes are any less understood.
Quote from: Lord WilmoreYou have not provided any actual data of recorded trajectories or port call data with which I can confirm that distances/travel times are consistent with RET predictions. You're just assuming that the AIS data used by your source agrees with you.
Not a direct quote, obviously, but I think this is the crux of your argument regarding distance data. True enough, I do not have such data to show you. It's expensive. I'm not suggesting that you have to buy it, but I have little incentive to do so. The reason is that my original argument is not that I can verify with real data that these distances are accurate. My original argument (well, my original snide remarks, anyway) was that those who do have the data, and those who rely on such data to get from A to B without getting lost and dying in any number of horrific ways, all agree that the data unambiguously verifies the relationships describes by a globe.
Would you mind elaborating on this point? What do you mean by 'functional?'
Start with Longitude. It's true that people have been accurately navigating before the invention of AIS. However, as Longitude details, before the invention of a method to accurately measure lines of longitude, nautical navigation was totally haphazard. Determining one's location east/west of any reference point was almost completely guesswork. It's difficult to overstate how significant this ignorance was to every ocean navigator before the end of the 18th century. It's also difficult to overstate just how common it was for ships to wreck on dangerous shores miles and miles from their intended destinations, or to be forever lost at sea, or for whole crews to starve to death on the open ocean. Crews that made it to port rarely arrived at their intended destinations. Those crews were often decimated (+50% mortality rates) from getting lost at sea for weeks at a time.
The fact that these problems are solved by position measurements that require a round, spinning Earth to have any meaning at all is, in my view, good evidence in favor of a round, spinning Earth.
Also, the banner seems to have rest so that 'The Flat Earth Society' is on two lines again.
This is to fix the fact that the banner was too wide on tablet and mobile browsers. An unfortunate necessity, but I'm open to other solutions. I didn't want to make the text smaller, so this was the better solution.
Ok, latest version is running now. And I've fixed a few of the missing stars and the 'user online' image. Anything else missing?
Personally I'd change the board indicators to something else, the FES logos look too crowded in there and even a bit misshapen since they're resized.
Sure, if the theme was modified here after it was installed those modifications will need to be made again. I snagged the original version of the old theme and used that as my starting point.
I'll still take a look at the css. Daniel and I can work out reconciling incremental changes from the old theme via email, probably.
Think we're ready to go - once it's in place and being used, I am sure that inconsistencies and bugs will be found, but I will squash those as they arise. All that remains is for me to get the theme files to the admins here, and for them to upload it.

Uploaded a new build, with new (but admittedly not yet perfect, now that I get to see them in place) icons for new posts / no new posts / redirect and some others. Also updated the logo so that the text isn't stacked.
Apart from minor pixel issues, most of what I'm looking to catch now are bugs that are in the CSS itself - I haven't gone thought all the stylesheets so I'm sure there are places where the old color scheme is hard-coded and doesn't match the new skin.
Probably just one more update before this can be used, so it's coming Real Soon Now (tm)

Tintagel gets the best noob award.
Actually you can teach intelligence, but only to a very small extent, and it usually doesn't work. The rest of it is innate.
People who follow Satanism believe in Christ. Are they Christians too?QuoteThey follow Christ and can point to the scriptures for their beliefs.
Believe != Follow
lrn2readingcomprehension.
Read the fucking thread. Muslims also see Christ as an important prophet, but not the Son of God. How many times does this distinction have to be made?
I taught Parsifal everything he knows. I'm still working on repaying my debt to society.Well, why is Parsifal smarter than you?
Well the hardware would be the battery life. Other than that, yeah.So it's been a couple of days now and the excitement has worn off.
I'm slowly getting used to the new keyboard.
The battery doesn't last as long as my iPhone did but I expected that.
Clicking links on this forum is a less easy as it doesn't always select the one I want but rather one nearby.
Netflix is more unstable.
Firefox is buggy.
And apparently I sound muffled when I talk.
Functionality wise, it still beats the iPhone but it's definitely less stable.
So you're complaining about 3rd party software then?
Also: Opera owns. The link issue I had was apparently with FF. I have had no issues with opera.
I have my phone setup the way I like it so yay!
