What is false? The initial fact quotes or the whole thing?
I am really starting to see why no one takes Tom seriously....

Narcberry was referring to his presence.
My problem with his ideas is that it is a ridiculous thing.

Genius. PURE, undiluted genius.

3. why is this relevant?

4. again, why is this relevant?

5. True, it's made up completely of dense gases

6. True, the Caspian is salt water.  Hmm heard of the great flood?? ;)

7. Whatever...please show relevance

8. yawn

9. Pyramid of Giza

10. yea and Hitler was Austrian....your point?

11. aha no argument

12. what's that got to do with anything, the french are stupid anyways.

13. Koalas are Koalas, not bears, not even close

14. none have good eye site..it's called sonar

15. they are extremely hot....they start to burn up in the atmosphere

16. this is true, we do not operate to our full capacity

17. true

18. and so is it's south pole...hence a magnetic field

The initial point (lost in a locked thread) was that people tend to sway to popular opinion over truth. You are proving it true. They are all false, from all points of view. The shape of the earth, while flat, is the only item in the list even debateable.

So what is the relevance in that.  Everyone knows that some people follow because they can't think for themselves or are too lazy to do so, others decide to rise above and question every statement just to find out for themselves.  You don't have to be Sigmund Freud to figure that out.  So you have proven nothing, just stated already known facts about mankind.  This is the very essence of science, to question and make fact which is what brought all of us to this forum to begin with.  I don't for the slightest instance believe in FE, but I like the debate because I respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own theories about everything.  So you seem to be "preaching to the choir", as they like to say, on this site.  So again I ask, why is this relevant?

You pretend it is so obvious (again a popular idea), yet your actions show otherwise.

As far as relevance, it was directed at Ferdinand. If you don't find relevance here, perhaps it is because you have interjected yourself in someone else's conversation.

The nonperson is a master of only one thing: It is ALWAYS someone else's fault. He will never own his own mistakes, because he is incapable of understanding that the only error in his life, is his life.
My problem with his ideas is that it is a ridiculous thing.

Genius. PURE, undiluted genius.

Indeed, electrical current has no concern with the speed of its electrons but only on the amount of electron flow.
