Thread: People or Sheeple?
Earth's center of revolution isn't the sun.
When it revolves, it happens to travel outside of the sun. The sun and earth revolve around the same point, in simple models.

People are people, they keep their heads down unless they can really benefit from sticking it out, and there is almost no risk to doing that.
Self improvement ? People will improve what is necessary, for most people this isn't a lot. Those wieght loss products and related junk are for things they feel can/should be improved, but not really necessary.
Lack of common knowledge ? What did knowing about the universe ever do to help you in life ?

you guys are saying the earth revolves around its axis.Earth's center of revolution isn't the sun.
When it revolves, it happens to travel outside of the sun. The sun and earth revolve around the same point, in simple models.I was always taught.
it spins on its axis, 1 revolution per day "wobbles a bit 2"
And then revolves around the sun. "takes a year to go all the way round"

(Just kidding if you didnt know)
Ok i know this is 2 posts in a row,
And its technically spamming... But if i post this in theAbove post aswell as whats already there No 1 will read it :)
THESE ARE REAL INSURANCE CLAIMS THAT PEOPLE FILED. (mostly austrailian im afraid)
But they do show Some true class. I love these things
Incidents with Pedestrians.
The pedestrian ran for the pavement, but I got him.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him.
The car in front hit the pedestrian but he got up so I hit him again.
I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the Bonnet of my car.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
I saw her look at me twice. She appeared to be making slow progress when we met on impact.
Accidents with other vehicles.
I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.
My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.
When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car.
I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought.
The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.
I was backing my car out of the driveway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before.
I was unable to stop in time and my car crashed into the other vehicle. The driver and passengers then left immediately for a vacation with injuries.
The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in a bush with just his rear end showing.
The car in front of me stopped for a yellow light, so I had no choice but to hit him. (She pushed him through the intesection)
Collisions, calamities, and injuries.
Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.
I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull.
I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.
As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
I saw two kangaroos having it off in the middle of the road. So I hit them, which caused me to ejaculate through the sunroof. (LMAO That 1s funny)
I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end.
I pulled in to the side of the road because there was smoke coming from under the hood. I realized there was a fire in the engine, so I took my dog and smothered it with a blanket.
The claimant had collided with a cow. The questions and answers on the claim form were -
Q: What warning was given by you?
A: Horn.
Q: What warning was given by the other party?
A: Moo.
Who is to Blame?
No one was to blame for the accident but it would never have happened if the other driver had been alert.
I didn't think the speed limit applied after midnight.
I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.
The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
I was going at about 70 or 80 mph when my girlfriend reached over and grabbed my testicles so I lost control.
On approach to the traffic lights the car in front suddenly broke.
The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week.
Windshield broke. Cause unknown. Probably Voodoo.
No witnesses would admit having seen the mishap until after it happened.
I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way.
The accident happened when the right front door of a car came round the corner without giving a signal.
I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident. (classic)
I left for work this morning at 7am as usual when I collided straight into a bus. The bus was 5 miniutes early.
(You cant make these up Lol)
An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
I knew the dog was possessive about the car but I would not have asked her to drive it if I had thought there was any risk.
The accident happened because I had one eye on the truck in front, one eye on the pedestrian, and the other on the car behind.
I started to turn and it was at this point I noticed a camel and an elephant tethered at the verge. This distraction caused me to lose concentration and hit a bollard.
:)
i think these are more examples of this type of sheeple.
Hope you like them as much as I do And forgive my 2 posts.

Sheep.
Read up on the accident statistics in UK as an example, the number of people so seriously injured by tea cozies they need to go to hospital is scary enough, but the real doozy is that it seems a large number of people, (& I'm not naming any specific country, state *hint-hint* or politcal affilation), believe the age of the earth can be dated by couting the ages of all the people in the bible. What about dinosaurs? Well obviously they were put there by god to test your faith!
Oh & for the record, the earth revolves around me, otherwise I'd be dizzy all the time.

While I'm thouroughly convinced that most people are schmucks, I, at least, have to try to defend them.
These "ask random people and show their stupid answers" shows/reports are in no way representative. They ask and tape maybe 40 people... but only show you a selection of maybe 5 who answer. One answers corectly, one is a bit off, and three outlandish answers. Surprisingly, you'll usually see all of these three in the later questions, too... and usually getting it wrong, and giving silly answers - thereby entertaining the average couch potato. They don't show you the 30 people who get it right, they concentrate on the numbnuts. Why do they do that? Why, because a) it IS entertaining and b) now most who watch may feel superior. And we all like to think that we're superior. Now add a bit of nationalism... maybe by showing certain ethnic groups, or people from a certain country, and you can even form public opinion a bit... The very least it will do is, it will confirm our own prejudices.... and we always like that.
Grumble.
Public opinion is so easy to manipulate. Give me footage of babys crying near a road and of a few tiger tanks, and I'll convince a lot of TV viewers that the Nazi's have invaded Belgium.
