The Lounge / To Dionysios

« on: May 26, 2006, 05:28:26 PM »

I was wondering what your own stance on the Holocaust is.

I've seen you say that the Holocaust was, infact, not true, but that doesn't mean that you believe that the Nazis did nothing to the Jews either.

Just your own views, and use other sources if you can't clarify, or express yourself well enough.

Also, try to keep it below 10 pages, as that's basically the most I can muster, while on the internet. Especially, since I see that most of your posts are essays

No, I would not kill for my belief that the world is infact round

...That's because when you try to translate polar to rectangular, it warps the picture. If I was to go in the same direction that you propose, this would happen:



This is what you're talking about, right?

So, in essence, you do admit that you're actually a fucking moron.

Yes, it does.

They paid 30 dollars to start with.

They got refunded 5.

Since they couldn't split that 5 equally, they gave 2 back to the bellboy.

That means they each got refunded 1 dollar (3 in total), and 2 went to the bellboy

Therefore, instead of paying 10 dollars each, they now paid 9 dollars, as each of them got refunded one.

Still following me?

9 x 3 = 27.

Add what the bellboy recieved, and you get 29.

So where'd that extra dollar go?

Flat Earth Q&A / My reason(s) for the world being Round

*sigh* Once again, you fail at spatial reasoning/logic.

I'll put it this way.

Take the picture I posted, and imagine taking scissors and cutting the FE model ANYWHERE from North to South.

Now, 'unravel' the picture, and you'll see that W, E, N and S are always pointing the same direction, on all  4 times they're listed.

Now, move in a straight line (for example due left)...where do you go? Off the earth? No.

I can draw a picture if you're this stupid not to understand what I'm saying.

Mattz,

Read the first damn post which states the situation as flying in a straight line.


Thats the simplest way to put it.

Though the line is not Technically "straight"

Remaining at the same altitude and going in the same direction will result in your death in the FE model


and you curcumnavigation of the globe in the RE model

A 'straight' line in a RE world, for one example, would be East.

Thus, if you fly east, continuously...

Where do you get? Back to where you started.

And what have you done along the way? Gone around the world.


A 'straight' line in a FE world, for one example...is also East.

Thus, if you fly east, continuously...

Where do you get? Back to where you started.

And what have you done along the way? Gone around the world.



It's a simple diagram.

I fail to see how your lack of spatial reasoning makes me wrong.

And seriously, stop swearing. Saying 'fuck' every sentence doesn't make you cool, nor does it help prove anything. I could just go about saying you're all fucking retards because you can't accept other views and fully research them before making really fucking unfounded opinions that suck ass.

But I don't do that because I'm not a jackass.

Flat Earth Q&A / Round Earth and Thetons

Did you just attempt to make a connection between Scientology and ANYTHING? If so, your logic is flawed.

Even the FE'ers think Scientology is stupid, they at least have dignity.

Flat Earth Q&A / Would you believe the earth was spherical if....

« on: May 26, 2006, 01:16:27 PM »

Because the south 'pole''s magnetic effect is spread out around all the edges of the world.

Sheesh, spatial logic, yours = none.

Even though I just used this in another thread, it's fitting here.



See?

As for going left/east...



Just draw imaginary lines in circles on the FE design.

Therefore, you can fly 'around the world', in both FE and RE.

Fools.

Flat Earth Q&A / A Test to See if the Earth is Flat

The more you simplify something, the more it loses it's meaning.

Grab a dictionary, there's lots online.

Flat Earth Q&A / Please read

« on: May 25, 2006, 10:27:30 PM »

Before I even respond to something else, here's something I learned in my Grade 10 science class.

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the earth's surface.

Uneven heating = some parts are warm, some are colder

warm air is less dense than cold air.

As high pressure zones try to equalize out to low pressure zones, it causes wind.

Wind is parallel to the ground, currents are perpendicular.

Don't be an effing moron.

Temperatures in the desert vary by at least 40 degrees celcius between night and day.

Oops, by going out on a limb, I meant the part after that.

Then again, I don't know much about FE theories I'll leave that up to you guys.

Flat Earth Q&A / Yep So If you cant understand logic then youve got a problem

« on: May 25, 2006, 09:21:01 PM »

Eeh, screw trying to 'argue' for the RE point of view. As Erasmus stated, it's more fun to argue for FE'er's.

Rett, you fail to note that you haven't actually gone back in time and proven that these records of people making the earth's proof of it being round is true. And if you bothered to look in the FAQ, it explains lunar/solar eclipses.

But hey, doing smart things is for idiots.

sphere fans seem to think all items of mass are drawn to eachother, but cannot explain why. Newton and Einstein couldn'

Incorrect.  Newton couldn't, Einstein could (distortions in the four-dimensional spacetime, a geometry effect).

0.9 recurring = 1.

Prove me wrong. I dares ya.

Let
X=.11111...
10X = 1.111111111....
Therefore,
10X-X=1
9X=1

However, since we defined X to be .111.....

9X=.99999999....

;-)

so wait, if I propose this question in fractions format, what do I get? (purely for testing purposes)

[yes, I did just read through the full thread if you're wondering. I just went back from the start because I remember this being mentioned on the first page and wanted to quote it without having a hassle.]

Let

x = 1/9

10x = 10/9
Therefore, 10x-x = 9x, alternately, 9/9
and 9/9 = 1

However, since we defined X to be 1/9,

9x = 9/9

Eeh, it isn't as cool in fractions XD

I do have a question though, but not infinity-related



We have 3 people who rent a room for one day.

It costs $30/day. So, each of the 3 people pay $10, equally.

Accidentally, the receptionist charged them the wrong price, as they were ordering a different type of room.  The actual price was $25/day.

So, the bellboy comes up and refunds them their $5. From their kindness, they let him keep $2.

Now, each of the 3 people have paid $9 instead of the $10 originally, and the bellboy has $2.

But 9x3+2 =/= 30.

...The fuck?




I know I proved this wrong somewhere, but I'll let someone else do it this time There's a flaw of math somewhere in there, but I'm too lazy to find it right now.

Flat Earth Q&A / Trial by Fire

« on: May 25, 2006, 08:42:14 PM »

(Original idea for this type of thread, was concieved by "ripht|CoC", of the XgenStudios' Forums)

The topic of this debate is pretty simple: Flat earth vs Round earth.
 
A hot topic, and clearly done before.

However, the rules of this topic have a slight twist: You have to argue from a position opposite of the your actual viewpoints. Everyone's pretty clear on everyone else's opinion around these parts, so no cheating! Hehe...

Basically, the idea behind this is to break people out of their normal thought patterns, and to challenge their own beliefs. Hopefully your beliefs will end up either strengthened by this or changed entirely.

Shall we?

[end copyness]

Now, as it stands, there are some people who just like to debate on either side of the argument. To those people: Have fun, and just pick a side for the hell of it Feel free to switch sides whenever you want, but don't do it out of desperation.

I'll admit, that with most of the users joined up here, I'm a RE'er.

But, alas, I have not enough information about the FE's points of view about the world, enough to make an informed post.

The only thing I ask is for the next poster to start up a topic, or we can go with the very common one: The speed of light.

(using my highly unresearched information):

Many of you say that if we are moving at 9.8m/s^2, we would he past the speed of light. But the speed of light is relative to us, and therefore, we can never pass the speed of light. While we may be passing the speed of light, relative to other objects, we are not passing the speed of light, relative to ourselves.

(Ok, now I'm going out on a limb here)

Technically, even, we're not moving. Relative to outside space, past the Ice Wall, we are moving at 9.8m/s^2.

(Well? Have fun Yeah, I know this is my first post.)
