This just goes to prove that stupidity is genetic

So the Democrats are more stupid.

"Democrats are slightly less likely to believe the Earth is round than Republicans (83 versus 89 percent, respectively). "

Stupidity isn't limited to one party moron, you're evidence of that.

Not at all. How do we know the world is round, really? Who can tell? Can you? Can anybody truly know?

I think not. It's like the Jan 6 walking tour in the Capitol. There were a few hijinks - red-blooded youth letting off steam mainly, a few people taking selfies in the Capitol, some face-painting, a few placards, nothing much.

Now some say the FBI planned this. They put ads on social media, erected a marquee, asked Mr Trump and his lawyers in to speak, put on some canapes and champagne for the guests (and some coke for Don Jnr). They then ordered the secret service to let the armed attendees in past the metal detectors as they weren't there to kill the prez, just the VP, the house speaker and any leftards and RINOs they felt like taking down.

What can you do? It all went without a hitch, of course. A few people got killed, but you get that - obesity has killed far more in the US, that's for sure. But the FBI are said to have organised it all, and who can say? Can you? Can anybody truly know?

Of course not. It would be a ludicrous suggestion. How can we know who organises walking tours? We're not God, it's crazy.

So yes, the same applies to the world itself. Some say it's round, others say it's flat. I guess we'll never know. I will say this - I see no reason why it would be round.

You?

The Flat Earth conception is a valid one.
Even Tolkien implemented it as the 'Straight Way' for those who travelled to the Undying Lands.
The essence of the Flat Earth is based upon a philosophical way of life and wellbeing.
The Round Earth is for the endless cycles of Addicts.

A Scientist will tell you that the Earth is not the center of the Universe and they'll be right.
A Spiritualist will tell you that the Earth is the center of 'OUR' universe and they too are right.

Both are right and both are good to have in consideration.
It's just the extremist morons who only accept the one and not the other that go nowhere, as if there can be only 'one' right answer.
It's the same old boring argument by Morons who can only think logically 'or' emotionally, but never both.
Like Evolution 'or' Creationism, but never both.

Accepting that the World is Round 'and' Flat leads to the 'Middle-Path' and wellbeing.

the polarisation being driven by social media algorythms is pushing everyone to the edge.

AOC plays a similar game on the left

attention is the new currency

evidence....gweg and many others are paying attention to this new "flat earther"

what we pay attention to , we value.

trump is very valuable to gweg

this lady has some value.

a centrist sane politician is just background furniture and has no value

ever get the feeling your reptilian brain has been hijacked ?

Just so. And let's not forget the vaxes the leftards make everybody take just to fit in.

AOC is responsible for far more than people give her credit for, that's for sure.

I bet our own Sir Nail and wombatwoody would feel right at home here:

Flat Earth - Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the Flat Earth Society, and thank you for taking the time to go through this FAQ.

It was created to address the many misconceptions a Round Earther may have about the Flat Earth Theory, and to act as an easily-accessible entry point into the mainstream Flat Earth model. This page is designed to answer some of the questions that many Round Earthers raise when they first arrive. Please check this page before making your first threads in the forums, as it may contain the answers to the questions on your mind.

Some of the questions here have multiple answers due to differing views of Flat Earth Theory among some of our members.

Cheesy

I've only read part of it so far and it's already giving me a headache.

Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Who didn't know which way the trade winds blew, during El Niño.. Roll Eyes

A Trade Wind is a Trade Wind, it blows from the East in either hemisphere, backing and veering due to the position of the high pressure cell governing it. If these conditions change, it is no longer a Trade Wind. On the ABC Ningaloo Documentary, Tim Winton mention a Trade Wind from the South West. No mariner would call it a Trade Wind.

" Typically, the equatorial trade winds blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean. El Niño events are associated with a weakening, or even reversal, of the prevailing trade winds."

Unfortunately, Kandiss Taylor is typical of the deluded state of
mind most Republican politicians find themselves in. One only
has to look at the disgraced former president to see how those
delusions can carry through—right up to the top. Disturbingly.

Even more disturbing is the fact that Taylor has been a teacher
for twenty years. I shudder to think what else she's been teaching
kids—considering she can't even grasp the basics of the earth
sciences, or simple astrophysics.

Maybe her parents paid for her Ph.D at Regent Christian University
just as Fred Trump paid for Donald's degree at Penn’s Wharton School?

Each would appear to have only double-digit IQs. Cheesy
