I have noticed that every evening it gets dark. And every morning, the sun comes up.

[Stinky The Clown]

I am attempting a non-controversial thread.

[LakeSamish706]

1. Well I think you have managed to create one, as irrelevant as it is.. lol n/t

[cliffordu]

2. Nice try,

Hitler.

[Sal Minella]

3. "Every" evening, "every" morning -- you absolutists make me sick! nt

[jpak]

4. locking

no thread for you

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Oh, yeah? Says who?

You must be a freeper or a DLC tool or a teabagger or a Naderite. Or something.

[cloudbase]

6. Past performance

is no indicator of future results.

[Captain Hilts]

7. It does the same thing on other planets, so enough of your Earth-based exceptionalism!!!!!

[Speck Tater]

9. Not on Mercury. One side always faces the sun, the other always faces away. nt

[Captain Hilts]

17. Yes. I'm very sympathetic to Mercury-based exceptionalism. It's based on empirical info. nt

[Cleobulus]

35. Incorrect, Mercury's day lasts about twice as long as its year...

so the sun does rise and set on Mercury, but it takes more than a year(88 days approximately) for this to happen.

[WCGreen]

43. Does that mean Mercury is on 3/5ths of a planet...

[lonestarnot]

8. Now doesn't it stay dark in some places? I hear Dick shoot'emintheface hangs out there.

icky!

[deacon_sephiroth]

37. It's ALWAYS dark...

[roguevalley]

38. I saw a show where they had the earth losing its spiinning. the day

them lasted 786 days at one point. but I suppose that was only wishful thinking.

[Jim Sagle]

10. DLC hogwash!

[Hekate]

11. Dude, this is profound. Kick and Rec.

:bounce:

[malaise]

19. Hhehehehehehehhe

:rofl:

[tkmorris]

12. Then along comes Daylight "Savings" Time and we all lose an hour!

Where does it go huh? Riddle me that Batman. The gummint is stealing an hour of our daylight right under our noses and no one cares. Probably storing it up in a mountain somewhere so the chosen ones can survive a future nuclear winter. Assholes.

[H2O Man]

13. You forgot Poland

(not to mention Alaska).

An occurrence that may not be too far off

[madinmaryland]

18. Well, it is 24 hours, though that is not always "24 business hours"

:hide:

[hlthe2b]

20. I guess innuendo is all that is left to us...

;)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

21. Your post is biased against people who live inside the Arctic circle.

Why are you bigoted against the Inuit?

[Hekate]

22. Awesome! This thread even has a Deleted Message and Unrecs! You must really be in some kinda groove

:wow:

[Stinky The Clown]

26. Deleted sub-thread

[Captain Hilts]

32. Okay, I laughed. nt

[RedCappedBandit]

28. Not true at the poles, you ignorant naive pos.

[kestrel91316]

31. "POS". Thank you from the Capitalization Police.

[Webster Green]

29. Up?

What's the hell is up? It's all relative.

I actually hang my globe from the ceiling to remind me of that. :P

[RedCappedBandit]

30. ...That's awesome. heh

[Hissyspit]

Yeah, the North Pole is the "top" of the globe because of Western cultural bias.

[comrade snarky]

50. Wouldn't that be Northern cultural bias?

:evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

33. You call this dark?

Man, you wouldn't know dark if it came up to you and called you a socialist. Or something.

Excuse me, I've got to go. Someone ELSE is wrong on the Internet.

[Toucano]

36. Until the day it doesn´t. n-t

[saltpoint]

39. You've succeeded in your goal, but thank god you didn't write,

"Every evening it gets dark, even in North Carolina, home of the Duke LaCrosse Team."

or

"Every morning, the sun comes up and shines on Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, and Octomom."

[guitar man]

41. Got a link?

Do you care to back that assertion up or are we just supposed to take your opinion as fact
?

:shrug:

[Mabus]

42. Now I know what happened to Chauncy D. Gardner...

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

44. GREAT novel / film.

[KonaKane]

45. A teabagger told me yesterday that he was drafting a plan to fly to the sun.

I told him that the sun is unbelievably hot and would melt the spacecraft before it came within a thousands of miles of the surface. He had an easy answer.

"We're going at night."

[Melissa G]

46. HOW do you Know the sun comes up if it is cloudy or storming?

You can't see the Sun, so How, Tell me How can you know if it came up????

[kickysnana]

47. Are you sleep talking too?

My Dad said this from his hospital bed this week. He went in with exhaustion and has been sleep walking & talking.

Dad wakes up with a start and calls for a nurse.

Nurse Dan: "Mr D can I help you with something?"
Dad: You had better keep an eye on me.
Nurse Dan: "Is there something wrong?"
Dad: "I keep passing out and I think I might die"
Me: "Dad, why do you think you are passing out?"
Dad: "Because it gets all black"
Nurse Dan: "Mr D you are on a heart monitor and we will see if there is any problem and come right in to help"
Dad: "Ok then, because I sure don't want to wake up dead."

Good night STC

[WillyT]

48. Yep... And It Can Truly Be Annoying...

Especially that morning part...

:hangover:

[progressoid]

49. Nazi.

Take your crap somewhere else.

[comrade snarky]

51. If you knew anything about science

You'd know the earth moon system is slowing down. Couple a billion years and it'll stop spinning completely. Where will you spinning Earthers be then hmmm?

Anti-science nut! :evilgrin:

[William Z. Foster]

52. not really

It is never completely dark. It gets darker after sunset, yes.

And the sun comes "up?" Relative to what? The sun isn't moving, well it is that is not what causes it to appear in the sky, rather it appears in the sky because the earth is rotating.

Also, the sun doesn't appear in the morning, morning happens when the sun appears. The sun was there and the earth was rotating long before we started calling that "morning."

Your post reminds me a lot of Creationism: imagining intelligent forces behind everything and speaking as though your viewpoint were the center of the universe. You are moving when the sun appears, the sun isn't. "Up" is only from your viewpoint. "Dark" is only to your eyes.

[Kablooie]

53. If anything needed filibustering it's this!

[Bonobo]

54. Welcome to ignore.

:hi:

[Scuba]

55. Obvious leftis scheme to hurt business.

[Hannah Bell]

56. not in lappland.

what do you have against lapps?

[zbdent]

57. well, it's obvious you're an uneducated teabirther, because

the sun doesn't "come up" ... the Earth rotates, and the sun is relatively stationary ... so you're wrong. The sun never comes up. The Earth spins to the left.

[boston bean]

58. Sometimes I get up in the morning and it's cloudy and raining and there is no sun!

So there's some controversy for ya!

[muffin1]

59. This post makes me so angry.

I suppose you blame Obama for this, too!!11!!

Alerting.:P

[FSogol]

60. Locking.
