@veradark5066 I think that most of us don't like rude people. "Do you want a medal" is a nasty thing to say and quite rude. The original comment is a guy recounting an experience in his life. There's no reason for that nasty response. I think that rude people should be mocked although it won't help these internet trolls to change their behaviour. They're just nasty to the core.

@veradark5066 I'm not going to ignore them. That's the problem. People have ignored their rudeness all their lives. What if they get upset when you ignore them? What if, to get that attention, they become more aggressive and even violent. I'm not going to pretend that they don't exist. They do and, as far as I'm concerned, a troll is among the worst of those on the internet. Telling me to ignore them and to shut up only validates their rude behaviour and encourages them to bully people even more. I have no problem with someone discussing their ideas but I will not put up with unwarranted rudeness or bullying and I will tell the bully what I think of them. It's gotten me a fat lip, in the past, but you don't pick on those who can't defend themselves or hide behind the anonymity of the internet while you're doing it. I'll take a beating defending the bullied, whether physical or through cyber bullying, if I have to but I'll not condone with my silence.

I'm wondering how they would destroy the moon. There can't atmospheric pollution. There's no atmosphere now. How can it get worse. You're not going to render species extinct. Once again, no life on Mars. What about water pollution. We all know the answer to that. So what could go wrong? The only problem that I could see is that they mine the moon completely and end up shipping the entire thing, or a good part of it, to earth. That might be a disaster. The earth depends of the moon's gravitation as part of its life cycle. Other than that, I don't see how we could destroy the moon.

No one knows.

Because it was meant as a descriptive, not as an illustration of reality. Like "high as a kite". A literary technique...nothing more.

On the flat earth model, with the North Pole at the centre, the most direct route from Santiago, Chile to Melbourne, Australia would be to fly straight north and fly over the North Pole. This means that Toronto is closer to Melbourne, as you'd have to fly right past Toronto on this trip. In reality, however, Toronto, is farther away and you make at least 1 stop on the trip, quite often in Hawaii. That wouldn't make any sense on a flat world as you'd be going off in the wrong direction on their map. The entire flat earth makes no sense at all.

@mustafahasan957 Had you listened at the very beginning of this video, you would have noticed that he said that all matter was compressed into a type of soup. Matter has always existed. It existed in a different way that is does now. The universe didn't come from nothing. Next time watch the video before you try to refute it.

That's right. There are no telescopes or microscopes that can see an amoeba 100 miles from where I'm sitting.....yet, I can land in Australia. Isn't that strange?

@ShortFuseFighting I hear you. Being from southern Ontario, the summers can be sweltering and the winters freezing. I worked outdoors for years and I prefer working in the cold of winter over the heat of summer. However, I'd rather have summer weather on my days off and I enjoyed winter vacations in the Caribbean. It all depends on the situation and the person and personally, I don't envy your having to work in those conditions year round. I wouldn't like it one bit.

@Daniel Southerland You have a theory? Is this something you put together on a camping trip one weekend?

That's right. There are no telescopes or microscopes that will allow me to see an ant 200 miles away. Yet, I can land in Australia. Isn't that strange?

That must really shake things up. I live in southern Canada, where it's difficult to discern winter weather from a polar vortex. It all seems cold to us. Your experience kinda warns us to be prepared for anything, even an unexpected event like a snowstorm in Tasmania.

@Kenbark42 He didn't say that they were taking away anyone's cow. He says that they were flying around to go to meetings where the TALKED about taking your cows. In fact, the Netherlands are doing just that. They are limiting the number of cows farmers are allowed to have and are even forcing farmers off their land. This is at the heart of farmer protests in that country and the Netherlands isn't the only country where this is happening. So, quit being intentionally obtuse and actually discuss the topic. That would be a lot more helpful.

@IambiguousSegment You should get a medal for being a smart mouth. Maybe a "Troll of the week" medal could be created and you could wear it proudly out of your basement when your mommy calls you for dinner.....or does she bring it down to you.

@veradark5066 You're putting words in my mouth. Here's one of the things that I said "I have no problem with someone discussing their ideas but I will not put up with unwarranted rudeness or bullying and I will tell the bully what I think of them. It's gotten me a fat lip," First, I said that I have no problem with discussing Ideas. There goes your "flame thrower at libraries" trope. Why would I burn down a library when I have no problems with ideas? It's illogical and you're only saying this to smear me, in hopes to invalidate what I'm saying. Then I said, quite explicitly, that I will TELL, get that TELL, a bully what I think and that has gotten me a fat lip. I'm getting the fat lip because I'm saying words the the bully doesn't like. YOU have it backwards. I even said that I would take a beating for defending the bullied, a beating from the guy who I told what I think of him for being a bully. If I have to take a beating for telling him to stop bullying those who can't defend themselves, so be it. A bully deserves to be told just what he is. If that bully becomes angry and takes a swing...THAT'S ON HIM, not me. If more people would stand up to these bullies, their victims wouldn't have to live with the fear that they're being forced to contend with. However, if you turn a blind eye because you're afraid of how them might react, at least you can comfort yourself with the knowledge that the victim of the bully is taking the abuse, NOT you. Your safety comes first....right?

@cathyguy9241 Are you saying that I'm a part of a "make work" program? Wow. Where I'm from the local government would hire guys to dig ditches that started nowhere and went nowhere so they could say that they're solving the unemployment problem. I'm only too glad to put food on the tables of poor slobs who have nothing. It sure beats working with a pick and shovel. Times are getting better for the unemployed.
