Dumbest thing you'll ever read. Really.

[cali]

That fake judge at the Bundy party believes the earth is flat. His reasoning is astounding.

Bruce Doucette
We all might want to proceed with caution .... The lies are much bigger than we realize .... We supposedly live on a globe spinning at app 1600km/ hour .... Yet we are told that gravity holds the oceans in place ... Well the oceans and this Gravity is suppose to be all over this planet we live on ... But if you go outside place a globe on the ground and pour water on it dose it stay on the globe ??? Or dose it run off the globe to a Flat surface .... I had someone, several people that I consider very smart say I would have to recreate that gravity to prove it .... My answer to them was why ... Is not that gravity already holding the water UP water on the outside globe we call earth ?? Oops is that gravity broken did the water run off the earth ? Or is the earth not really a globe ... Maybe we should all check
I have always tried to live my life with honor and integrity and I believe we are experiencing a positive timeline because of the lies that are being exposed in the truths that we were told .... But we all must now learn to think for ourselves and find the real truth !! In the name of Jesus Christ May God Bless you all !!

[gratuitous]

1. I feel stupider for having read it

Hard to argue with "logic" like that.

[cali]

6. My apologies.

[Mike__M]

14. I think it needs an Alert

This kind of controversy should be kept safely in the Science group where it won't harm casual readers.

[SDjack]

66. It hurt my brain. /nt

[Volaris]

68. Well, you WERE warned...

Right there in the Post title lol...

But yeah. If these dumb fuckers don't have the wherewithall to process the basics of round vs flat, why is anyone surprised that Constitutional Law theory is waaaaaaay beyond them.

Time to stop coddling them. Serve them ALL with Federal arrest warrants.

[Coventina]

2. How do people like that explain the thousands of people who

have circumnavigated the globe?

Never mind, there's no use trying to apply logic here....

[tblue37]

13. Or the actual *pictures* of the earth from space. Oh, that's right. Guys like that believe our

many visits to space are all hoaxes.

[KatyMan]

28. I've posted about this before

but I spent a couple of hours on youtube one day watching flat earth videos and these people really, truly believe this. It's amazing. How do they remember to eat or breathe? Shocking.
I watch all that stuff on youtube; I don't believe any of it at all, but I love ghost videos (they scare me!), flat earth stuff, conspiracy theories, bigfoot, all of it...it's all extremely entertaining. Until you realize the people putting the videos up are probably your neighbors or coworkers...

[roguevalley]

67. this is mental. very sad dude to live that weird

[fredamae]

3. Looks like they snatched one

http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/protester_arrested_in_burns_dr.html

And in other news...one "Fluffy Unicorn" was arrested in AZ - bundy's body guard.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bundy-bodyguard-arrested

[emulatorloo]

23. Good reader comments in that first link.

Wingnut says there is nothing in the constitution that says the govt can own cars, so why was the guy arrested?

[fredamae]

26. Some of them are hillarious

I don't think I've ever seen a thread so busy on O-live. Some of them are hilarious....
The one above? hahahaha

[dixiegrrrrl]

54. This comment made a very valid point:

"This guy fits every definition of a terrorist, guns, threats, explosives, radical groups, violent incidents, multiple Federal convictions...
but here he is...armed, on the street."

Exactly.

[dixiegrrrrl]

53. Ha! Great....so he has violated his release conditions by repeating the violation

of occupying ?Federal lands
PLUS
driving a stolen truck.

Send him to jail..it will be kindness, keep him from hurting himself with his pea brain in gear.

[Electric Monk]

4. Have you ever read TimeCube? He reminds me a little of that, with added fundie goodness.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. How does this guy get his pants on in the morning?

My cat understands gravity better than the aptly-named Mr Doucette. He proves his understanding of gravity every day by shoving stuff onto the floor.

[stage left]

18. This gave me a laugh.

isn't it amazing how much cats love to watch things fall?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. Like this:

[hifiguy]

56. Cats just don't care.

They give not a single hoot. And nothing proves it more than that gif. Best Cat Meme Ever.

[3catwoman3]

61. Go on YouTube and put in...

..."Cats Knocking Shit Over."

I've watched it several times and laugh every time.

[HassleCat]

41. Not a problem

He gets the pants on just fine, but they don't let him mess around with the zipper.

[Xipe Totec]

7. There's an easy way to prove that the Earth is flat.

Walk in a straight line until you get to the edge of the earth. Then tell people: See? Here's the edge. I can peer over the side and see the turtles all the way down.

[Aerows]

8. Oh look

it's the Y'all Queda Shitria court judge.

If these people were any smarter, they might just graduate to the level of imbeciles.

[emulatorloo]

22. Saw it called "Shania Law" by some wit in the OregonLive comments section

Got a huge kick out of that.

[monmouth4]

9. This should be sent to Dr. Tyson. Maybe after he's had his lunch..n/t

[pinboy3niner]

10. This is the guy who believes he possesses more knowledge than any university

[underpants]

35. AND he lives life with honor and integrity

He's so dumb he took the Pepsi challenge and chose Jif

[pinboy3niner]

36. Damn Skippy!

[underpants]

39. .

[krispos42]

70. *snicker*

ROTFLMAO

[tabasco]

11. Get this man to MIT, Stanford, Harvard --- he's obviously completely discredited modern science...

Oh wait --- he forgot about the gravity of planet Earth in his brilliant calculations.

[Mike__M]

12. Well, in his defense

He is thinking for himself. Nobody else could be dumb enough to come up with his proof.

[MuseRider]

15. The earth is flat?

Seriously? Maybe I don't pay enough attention. I have heard a lot of stupid in my life but I never thought we would be back to flat earthers. I should not be stunned but actually I am. Is this real?

[cali]

19. Yes, he's actually that stupid

[hifiguy]

50. Not only that, there are still nincompoops trying to disprove

Kepler and Copernicus, arguing for a geocentric solar system.

You can't get that dumb by accident, it takes a lot of work.

And everyone knows that the Discworld is supported by three elephants riding the Great Turtle A'Tuin.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

60. It's turtles all the way down.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

71. small error there:

It's four elephants standing on Great A'Tuin's mighty carapace.

Have to keep everything accurate, in case someone quotes you.

[hifiguy]

72. I appreciate your correction

in the spirit of scientific inquiry and Turtleology.

[NightWatcher]

16. Christ on a pogo stick. Had this man ever seen the curvature of the earth from a plane?

I am not surprised when some gas pumper from the sticks has not any fancy learnin' but anyone who has gone to elementary school should know better

[DisgustipatedinCA]

64. That so-called curvature is just God bending space to keep airplanes out of heaven. nt

[elias49]

17. Damned home schooling. nt

[joeybee12]

20. My brain hurts...nt

[11 Bravo]

40. A problem Doucette will never face.

[joeybee12]

42. Definitely!

[cheapdate]

24. I was skeptical. But you're right. This may be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

[cali]

30. I know. It's a bold claim, but the spectacular stupidity of that passage

seemed to merit the claim.

[underpants]

38. +

[kentauros]

43. Even dumber than this guy:

[cheapdate]

44. Good one.

[spanone]

25. there's no reason for this kind of stupid in 2016

[A HERETIC I AM]

27. There's never a 2 X 4 around when you need one. n/t

[edgineered]

29. Ah, my everything is up-side-down philosophy would appeal to him.

When looking through a single lens, like a magnifying glass, does not everything appear up-side-down? The lenses in our eyes must do the same. I believe that I see you with your feet below and your head above, but is not the opposite true? In the northern hemisphere the earth is above us and our feet are stuck to it, while south of the equator it would have to be different. Peoples heads would have be on the ground and their feet would be dangling. This shouldn't be hard to understand, Mr. Bruce Doucette.

[Fairgo]

31. We wear velcro on the bottom of our shoes

in Australia. Keeps us from falling off the underside of the flat earth. Our Kangaroos are filled with helium, which they keep in their pouches. That's why they hop.

[edgineered]

32. Now I will add the velcro and helium parts -

were it not for velcro on the bottoms of their shoes down under, their heads would be on the ground and their legs dangling. Likewise with the kangaroos... Thanks for getting me up to speed.

[Johnyawl]

33. I'm glad someone finally explained that to me!

[Cirque du So-What]

34. How to explain koalas?

Easy! The eucalyptus makes them sticky so they don't fall up into the sky!

[underpants]

37. "this Gravity" made the water fall off the globe

Yes I feel dumb for even posting that

[Autumn]

45. I hope the mother sucker falls off the edge into a gigantic void.

And spins and spins throughout the eternity he seeks.

[First Speaker]

46. I swear to God, these assholes want to establish the Republic of Freedonia...

...Rufus T Firefly is Einstein compared to them...

[hifiguy]

49. Firefly was just incompetent.

And had the redeeming virtue of being hysterically funny.

"Remember men, we're fighting for this woman's honor, and that's more than she's ever done."

[Initech]

47. This guy isn't even remotely qualified to be a pretend judge.

[hifiguy]

48. This guy desperately needs to see

the Great Courses' "Understanding Gravity" taught by Dr. Benjamin Schumacher.

By Princess Celestia herself, that in fact may be the dumbest thing I have ever read.

[valerief]

51. Hate won't do us in. Teh Stoooopid will. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

55. He makes some good points, though not original.

Other brilliant minds have made similar statements. Usually they have been enlightened by inhaling the contents of spray on furniture polish or the voices transmitted on their toasters.

[Kalidurga]

57. I accept the challenge....

15 minutes later

Never mind.

[MrMickeysMom]

58. Holy shit...

I got nuTHinG after that.

[rurallib]

59. for once in my life someone delivers on a promise

yep, you are right

[denbot]

62. I felt a disturbance in the Force..

As if a million brain cells died a horrible death as I read his screed..

[Gidney N Cloyd]

63. Bazinga.

[Mnpaul]

65. He could get together with Ben Carson

and store some water there. Lots of flat spaces on a pyramid.

[MisterP]

69. holy Rowbowtham, Batman!
