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

Good job Papa and legion. Mikey Mike is just babbling about historians and oceanographers, and probably reconsidering his position.

Have any of you actually been to space yet? Because if you have not, then you have no direct, unambiguous empirical evidence for what it's like.

BUMP!

BUMP!

Nice try, markjo/harry1999.

But LOL!

& FAIL!

How many socks do you have on this site ffs?

mikeman: Yup; legion got it right.

You are a total retard & made of Fail.

Let's hope you never have to appear as a Defendant in any court that accepts YOUR definition of what constitutes a reliable witness, as well as conclusive evidence for absolute proof...

No, actually; let's DO!

LOL!

&, as ever, FAIL!

Mike, this guy is a troll. No need to engage him.

If you smell a troll, you should realise that the stench is almost certainly from yourself. I can smell you from here.

Is a new trolling technique to try and pin "troll" on other people? I don't think you're I'm a troll legion, I'm just an idiot.

I was saying Papa is a troll, which he clearly is isn't.

1: Lying sock-puppet LOL!!!!!
2: Don't tell me what to do.
3: Ditto.
4: There is no 4:
5: STFU & get back in your ventriloquist's dummy hugbox.

Well, the problem is that there's 'science' & then there's 'science-fiction' & then there's 'scientism'; & you lot can't tell the difference between them.

Which is how we're in the mess we are.

So maybe a better standard of evidence would help separate the wheat from the chaff?

Bringing me neatly to: Have any of you actually been to space yet? Because if you have not, then you have no direct, unambiguous empirical evidence for what it's like.

So STFU about it.

Bye-bye space-goons.

Again, does this mean that a doctors word on the symptoms of cancer is wrong if the doctor hasn't had cancer?

 

A doctor can observe the effects of cancer. He doesn't need to actually have cancer.

It may not be wrong but it may not be right either. Who knows if it's right or wrong?

Who should we trust? The Nigerian wanting to transfer money into my bank account? All scientists? You tell me.

Behave yourself, Pinnochio, your nose is growing longer...

That's exactaly my point.  I don't have to be in space to know about it, I can observe it, I can make educated guesses about it, and even though my word is not as good as the word of an astronaut it's not completely worthless.

Oh, & Pinnochio: ever heard of 'controlled opposition'?

Cos that's what your milk-sop sock was created to be; why else would you, as a supposed flat-earther, be so pro-markjo, yet your tag be so anti-sceptimatic?

You are pathetically obvious; you are BUSTED; you are also, in-fkn-evitably, LOL! & FAIL!

Now buzz off back to your stage-prop hugbox.

You didn't know the old scepti.
He's a troll.
A well known troll.
markjo has been here as long as I can remember, and though I don't agree with most of the content he posts, he is an intelligent and fun person.
Separation is the bane of organized human civilization. I like to associate myself with people of differing beliefs, because that's how you throw bias out and learn.
Of course, I enjoy arguing with round Earth enthusiasts as much as the next guy, but I do not condemn them for their (albeit misinformed) beliefs. That would just make me look silly.
Kind of how you look right now, actually.

So when Sceptimatic starts a thread to discuss a particular idea, that is trolling? You have no idea what you're on about, do you?

Pinnochio: Just cut the crap, sock-puppet; no-one's buying your b.s.

Sceptimatic has more original thoughts every single day than you have had in your entire, misbegotten, existence; I've had enough of you & your creator bullying & belittling him, as has every other True free-thinker on this site.

So knock it off, okay?

You're now both outnumbered & out-thought; the game has changed.

I may not be a great originator, but I was in Baghdad when you were in your Dad's Bag; you'll get nothing past me, ever.

So stop trying.

It's over, puppet-masters, trolls & madmen.

Deal with it.

Oh, & 'lemmiwinks'; quite the expert on 'markjo', aren't you?

Why would that be, I wonder?

Maybe because he's been here for more than a month.

What would you like to share with us then? I'll give you a fair hearing.
