How much more of this before we all just...go completely catatonic and wait for death's cold, comforting embrace?

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;51531253]Except it's horribly, horribly wrong There was never overwhelming science that the earth was flat. There was never any science that said the earth was flat. For fucks sake, we've known the earth was round for as long as the very concept of science has existed.[/QUOTE] Right, some people brought up modern flat-earthers though. I was clarifying more than anything because Politico didn't bother to quote that bit directly.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51530694]Not just a blunder of science understanding but a blunder of historical understanding as well.[/QUOTE] A calculated political zinger more likely... anyone worth half their salt with a minimal education can self determine the earth is round to at least some degree, same with climate change.
And U.S citizens make fun of Swedish politicians, at least our country isn't about to get controlled by a bunch of mentally handicapped 10 year olds
I think on the 19th I'm just gonna get a few speakers, a CD player, and put them all in Galway city, and sing "GOD IS DEAD" at the top of my lungs for a few hours.
He's also probably a young-earth-creationist. In the end of the interview, he comes out with this gem: [QUOTE]But you’re saying that you do, and you’re saying the scientific community knows, and I’m saying people have gotten things wrong throughout [B]the 5,500-year history of our planet.[/B][/QUOTE] So there's that, too.
Holy shit, someone in the Trump camp coming out in defense of climate change? Awesome, good on yo- [quote]Scaramucci contended that “we did a lot of things wrong in the scientific community,” comparing researched climate change findings to the centuries-old belief that the world was flat.[/quote] Why do I even still have any kind of positive expectations for these neanderthals?
[QUOTE=pentium;51530991]This is so fucking awesome. I don't think I've ever seen a level of upset this big.[/QUOTE] Maybe just try living in reality for ten minutes. A country of people is about to suffer the consequences of a broken administration roughly 20%~ of us voted for and you're cheering like this won't effect you too (whether or not you live in Canada)
How did this guy get to power? Its mind boggling
[QUOTE=Riller;51532737]He's also probably a young-earth-creationist. In the end of the interview, he comes out with this gem: So there's that, too.[/QUOTE] I thought it was 10,000 years old for creationists? I think he might be referring to how old he thinks civilization is. I hope.
[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;51533010]I thought it was 10,000 years old for creationists? I think he might be referring to how old he thinks civilization is. I hope.[/QUOTE] It's more than likely a YEC thing, but you are right that some of them think the earth is 10,000-12,000 years old.
