kickingfrog Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 We all have that one family member... http://www.cfra.com/news/2016/06/14/heated-dispute-over-earths-shape-leads-to-fire-in-brockville Heated dispute over Earth's shape leads to fire in BrockvilleBrockville Police say a heated discussion about the shape of the Earth led to the fire department being called in. Police say they were called to St. Lawrence Park around 10:30 Monday, after a family had been involved in a full fledged argument. Apparently a woman was insisting the earth was flat and her boyfriend's father was arguing it is round. Police say the 56-year-old man became so angry he started to throw things into their camp fire, including a propane cylinder. Brockville Fire was called in to put out the blaze and at some point the man left the scene. Police say they are now looking for him in order to charge him with mischief. Investigators say "neither party would change their views." ...In all fairness fire was around long before our understanding of a spherical earth.
FrankTheRabbit Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 Lol seriously??? Ok, the girlfriend should have her tubes tied and not be allowed to further contaminate the human gene pool lol. That almost reads like a National Enquirer article.
leaf4 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 Lmao that is ridiculous, although a friend's younger brothers gf is dead set on believing that "mockumentary" on mermaids that discovery did a few years back hahahaha
manitoubass2 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 No names, But I think a board member here might have caused this???
ketchenany Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I'll bet, they were drinking out of round bottles!
Rizzo Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 this is a big thing right now, I actually know a few people who believe in a flat earth. There are lots of videos out there on the subject

There are lots of videos out there on the subject Any of them explain why when you are on a boat on a big "flat" lake you see the tops of the trees before the land?
manitoubass2 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Any of them explain why when you are on a boat on a big "flat" lake you see the tops of the trees before the land? Probably not, because they dont think rationally. I seen this debate on fb and it hilarious people could believe such things. I just asked them for directions because I really wanted to try parachuting off earth to see what it looks like from below.
grimsbylander Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Absolutely ridiculous. Of course the earth is flat, just ask anyone with a tiller.
manitoubass2 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Absolutely ridiculous. Of course the earth is flat, just ask anyone with a tiller. Makes sense, since everone with a console believes in shapeshifting reptilians???

Old Ironmaker Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 100% true because I read it on the internet.
manitoubass2 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 100% true because I read it on the internet. You know how to use the interwebs?

Throwing a propane cylinder into a fire??? And he probably thought she was the stupid one.
manitoubass2 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) A propane tank is not gonna blast off on a lil fire. Those tanks strong as .... Still amazingly stupid but.. Ive used propane tanks with tiger torches to heat other propane tanks all the time mining. Could I die? Yes. Logically though it wont happen. Those tanks are very well designed It would take intense heat to blow one up(dont try it though lol) Edited June 15, 2016 by manitoubass2
Fishwilly Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Pretty sure this made bonehead of the week on Ottawa's Chez 106.1
SirCranksalot Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Some of those people should be taken to the edge of the earth and thrown off!!!
Headhunter Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 In something of a similar vein, I have a neighbour who believes that the earth is only 5 thousand years old! He's highly intelligent, very aware of his life and surroundings, yet insists that the dinosaurs roamed the earth less than 5 thousand years ago. Will argue that carbon dating is a man made tool that is completely wrong and the the dino's were only on earth for a very short time. How about that for a belief structure? HH

That almost reads like a National Enquirer article. That's the sad part, it appears recessive genes aren't and there are far to many wackos being hatched.

HH Show him/her a picture of Keith Wynne about carbon, that will convert him/her? Hope he/she doesn't know how to vote! Highly intelligent! Sure is!
wallacio Posted June 16, 2016 Report Posted June 16, 2016 Show him/her a picture of Keith Wynne It's deplorable that repeated thinly-veiled homophobic slurs about Kathleen Wynne seem to be fair game on this forum. Give the "Keith Wynne" and "Uncle Wynne" cracks a rest.
