I nearly died laughing.


That whole site is filled with stupidity. Who actually buys this anyway? Are we really this uneducated?

[Refalm]

No way.

If they're not trying to rip people off, but actually believe this...
It makes me wonder who the hell runs these kind of websites, and more interesting; is their appartment filled with this bullshit on their walls as well?

This is fucking insane.

[Aloone_Jonez]

Yes there are some retards around.

This is creepy because I was just at the flat earth societies site today having a lulz.

Once again, picture in your mind a round world. Now imagine that there are two people on this world, one at each pole. For the person at the top of the world, (the North Pole), gravity is pulling him down, towards the South Pole. But for the person at the South Pole, shouldn't gravity pull him down as well? What keeps our person at the South Pole from falling completely off the face of the "globe"?

Holy fuck, I'm so glad I picked physics in school.

I meant "buy" as in "believe".

That "ZetaTalk" site is run by some crazy "contactee" by the name of Nancy Lieder.

Nancy Lieder, who claims to channel messages from extra-terrestrials called Zetas (from the Zeta Reticuli star system; see Betty and Barney Hill) through an implant in her brain. Lieder states that she was chosen to warn mankind about Planet X, which would sweep through the solar system in May 2003, causing a pole shift that would destroy most of humanity.

Of course nothing happened in 2003 so the Planet X doomsayers moved the date to 2012. Go figure.


Along with the Flat Earth Society, there is also still groups who believe in geocentrism. Didn't we get over this a long time ago...? Mention Galileo to these people and the probably freak out.

Zeta-Reticuli is also the purported home of the Thetans, the super-evolved beings that passed down infinite wisdom to L. Ron Hubbard, inventor of scientology.

Where the fuck do you learn all this? I honestly wonder who has time to care about the worlds smallest religion.

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Wikipedia articles.

[Kintaro]

Wrong question.

WHY the fuck learn all this?

[SiMuLaCrUm]

Why not? It's fun to critique the stupidity of others. Especially when it is of this scale.

Whatever floats your boat, just seems like an awful lot of reading to do so. It just suprises me that people can pull accurate knowledge of religions in a flash telling me they've not just taken interest but researched a whole lot.

There's nothing wrong with attempting to educate yourself.  Occasionally I will be bored and make a multi-hour Wikipedia run.  One time, someone used the phrase "blue dog democrat", and I wanted to know what exactly it meant.  Somehow, 6 hours later, I was reading about Scientology.  These things happen.  And I have pretty good recall of things I have read.

But you go ahead and think what you like.

I'm a Wikipedia adict too. Sometimes I read when I'm bored at work until I find I'm reading but not taking any of it in and I curse my sort concentration span.

I had that when I was 17 or so, I can't be fucked anymore with link surfing wikipedia.
