  1. legal canada It's hard not to be rude to people that would say such a ridiculous thing. Honestly, do you really think that people have been making the round earth story for over 2000 years. The bull headed stupidity is astounding.....and that's as nice as I can put it. It's like the preacher that said if the Bible said 2 plus 2 equals 5, he'd believe it, even though he couldn't make it fit the facts. It's not rude to say that he's being stupid.

  2. I think it has to do with the internet. Most people knew about the maps years ago, but those that didn't had no way to express their doubts and misunderstandings. The internet provides a forum where a person can remain anonymous and give opinions and not have to face ridicule in a live confrontation. It allows him/her a way to find others who feel the same way he does and they can prop up the feeling of inadequacies that not understanding what is supposed to be simple, can bring. From there, it's a small step to calling all those people that made them feel so small a bunch of brainwashed liars. It's about ego and a way to support that ego that has never been available to them in the past.

  4. + Florent With the ice ages going on, the Alps would have had enormous glaciers, making them an even more formidable barrier. You make a good point.
