    Yes I've read it. Patent nonsense. After all how can you go around a flat object?
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Have these uneducated people never read "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne?
    You and your spherist propaganda literature. Are you suggesting I base my understanding of how the earth functions on a work of fiction?

    Hrumpf! Hold fast ajax. Next thing they'll tell you to base your beliefs on the writings of Galileo, Newton, Einstein and Hawkings - you know, the great fiction writers of the past few centuries.
