Well... You were very wrong my friend.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

In her defense whether or not the world is flat is relative to your perspective. If you put a straight edge or spirit level down it shows that the world is flat.

Wow, weirdass answer there fg. This an argument for intelligent design, or a rant against GMOs?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')o, life cannot come out of a racemic mix (cant even make a protein in an oxidizing atmosphere in any kind of solution it would oxidize/.

You cannot delop a total L- isome organism from a racemic soup.


Primeval soup.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')roblems with the theory

A central problem is the expected lifetime of polymers because hydrolysis in the ocean would break them up. Also abiotic synthesis produces a racemic mixture of L and D enantiomers. It was then theorised that early polymers assembled on solid minerals such as clay. Polynucleotides and polypeptides of about 50 units have been made in the laboratory in this way.


Or is life abiotic (sic)? (uh...) I see our resident champion of abiotic oil is back.

'Is the world flat?'

'I dunno, I've never thought about it'

I equate saving the world through this dumbed down educational system with attempting to save the world through politics. Imagine the idiocy of anyone who would think thus.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ferrelgiraffe', 'O')il is not abiotic

oil developed from buried plants and animals and dinosaurs.

You have absolutely no proof of that whatsoever. Did the hydrocarbons on Titan come from buried plants and animals and dinosaurs?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'n')o Oil is definitely from prior plant life

You have absolutely no proof of that. Were their plants on Titan?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') dont know how things happened

You can say that again.

Education is good, the school system is not a real education.

On second thought, Sherri Shepard is the smartest one of all of them. She's the only one there who is philosophical enough to openly proclaim her ignorance, "I don't know; I haven't thought about it." I wish more people were as wise as she is. All the other pundits and sophists on The View think they know everything about everything and in reality they know nothing about anything.

Yes. If you put down a bubble level it will show you that the surface of the Earth is flat.

So you thought you could save your own ass by what Aaron? convincing the local politicians about peak oil?

Do you now feel as if you merely wasted your time or do you still promote some sort of belief in politics?

At first I thought it was a noble effort yet now that I have learned quite a but more about politics I realize just how futile the effort was and I find myself wondering if you were simply ignorant concerning this reality or did you know that you were actually wasting your time and only wanton to lead our sheeple asses on further?

For us to make no real changes but to waste our time shoving against the rock that is politics and in effect accomplishing no real change.....

Makes sense and falls right in line with what I have come to believe about this place and what I perceive now as a clear agenda.

Hmmm maybe I am wrong.... and that my friends is the part that seperates me from these people. I know I could be wrong and I know that PO could be simply part of the Elitist agenda just like population reduction. You see it is not that there are too many of us it is that we have been taught to live unsustainable lifestyles and this applies to much more then just PO.

Ah well, even now that I have effectively outted the whole scheme of things I feel little better and more as if I have lost some friends even if they were for the most part unreal.

I would still enjoy being banned so I can at least protect the sheeple minds in my IP range yet even that is not allowing them to make their own choice and to overcome the illusion on their own or not.....

Ah well it still inflicts some damage to this fucked up place and that will at least bring me some comfort.....

Population reduction? Now that's an Elitist agenda I could like!

So to speak yes. I acknowledge that from the perspective of a satellite the Earth appears to be a sphere.

However from another perspective the Earth is most definitely flat.

This is why I say it is relative to your perspective.

And this is why I have great admiration for Sherri Shepard.

So it was not abundantly clear to you that the question, and her admitted ignorance, were referring to the global properties of the earth?
