      Bless his heart, because that’s a fool’s errand.

    I sure know who I’m going to fleece with the next pyramid scheme I’m concocting.

    Also those “time-lapse photos” look like After Dark wallpaper.

    This flat earth thing doesn’t make sense. I mean, if that was true, Santa would have to fly all the way out to one edge of the earth to deliver presents, then go all the way back to the other side instead of doing it in one smooth circle. He would not be able to stay ahead of the sun, which would mean that some people would be getting their presents delivered in broad daylight. Unless there was some kind of cloning center to ensure that there are multiple Santas for each Christmas, keeping the sleigh under the cover of darkness would be impossi.... Oh right, that actually fits perfectly.

    I have some very serious thinking to do.

      Interesting theory. This is exactly the kind of thoughtful analytical examination that this very serious and difficult subject deserves. “They” have kept us quiet and complacent for too long.

      the problem is, it’s not just one person. God help you if you Google for evidence about our “flat Earth”. I’m going to to go cry for a while.

      How do flat-earthers (I can't even believe I just typed that) explain the earth's magnetic field, or ocean currents, or satellites, other planets, sunrise/sunset, seasons, moon cycles, etc.....?

      So long as you understand that any ringtone that goes off in my classroom either causes me to sing (if I know the song—and I have the voice of a bull with laryngitis), or to dance (if I do not know the song), then we’ll be golden.

    This hurts my brain! So, if this guy believes the earth is flat, then he also doesn’t understand sunrise/sunset, moon phases, satellites, the seasons, the layers of the Earth, Earth’s magnetic field, ocean currents, any other planets... Does he think the moon is flat too?

    It’s causing my physical pain thinking about how stupid this man must be.

    And he is allowed to vote and breed like the rest of us.

      Nah, man. See, that’s all just what happens. And satellites don’t exist because, like, the government made it up to make us THINK there are satellites up there. And the ocean currents are created by this big machine called WAVE (Wandering Aquatic Vibration Engine). It basically vibrates at the bottom of the ocean (which is really only a few hundred feet deep) to create the waves and currents. Open your eyes!

      I really want to know why celebrities with tattoos “disappearing” or having strokes, heart attacks or mental health issues means “cloning center.” Are the cloning centers supposedly kidnapping these people in order to clone them, or are they just causing the health problems because the celebrities are getting too close to The Truth?

      I'm sure the Koch brothers know plenty about charity! Like how to donate less than the tax breaks you'll get through donating.

      Speaking of the uneducated and ill-informed, that’s not how tax deductions work. Donations only reduce your taxable income, and the portion of taxes you save on that taxable income will always be less than the amount of the donation.

      If people were magically able to make money by donating, people would be donating their entire fortunes. The amount of ignorance people have around taxes is really more concerning than some celebrity that believe in a flat-earth since it actually affects everyone’s life.
