Unfortunately, the UK sees them as a bulletproof vest after you’ve been shot. Brisbane has just gone into lockdown after recording a single case. The UK’s only in lockdown because it was recording something like 40,000 a day and someone went, “Bloody hell, best tighten stuff up, eh, lads?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Jericho now leaning into that Rogan style podcast every shit comedian is doing now where they claim everyone has gone mad and they're the voice of reason and DEBATE IS HEALTHY MAN. I love Jericho as a performer but I switched off a long time ago from him as a person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager most of the flat earthers initially thought the way you did and now look at them. Honestly. I just don’t think it’s healthy to only listen to views you agree with, creates an echo chamber and nothing gets done to bring people’s views together. If people listened to these crackpots earlier and had a proper discussion they wouldn’t be off on such tangents. So that’s why I listen  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is science. It's not a debate about who the best Doctor Who is, where you can't prove it one way or another. You're platforming people with demonstrably wrong views and they should be robustly deplatformed and ignored. Giving oxygen to these kinds of people is dangerous and has proven to be as such repeatedly, especially since the onset of social media.

Giving oxygen to these kinds of people is dangerous and has proven to be as such repeatedly, especially since the onset of social media. It’s not just about the earth being flat, they cover multiple topics. Science used to think the sun went around the earth, not saying I agree with any of what’s been said, but just ignoring them and hoping they go away is hardly working is it? You learn their points, counter argue and get people off the ledge. Just shouting “you’re wrong so don’t talk” ain’t helping the world we live in much. Just like you are doing here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 8, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 8, 2021 Debating is healthy. "Listening" to nonsense with no right of reply is fucking pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when David Weiss says that the earth stops at the North Pole because it’s flat and Australia is made up because the government want you to think the world is round, it’s not debate. It’s stupidity and not worth giving the air time to. People like him who believe that nonsense are some of the biggest morons on this (round) planet. Look at my first post and see what David Weiss and his British mate are talking about. Not even worth counter arguing because it’s that stupid. I remember him and the British bloke saying David Bowie isn’t dead and is a cover up. I can’t remember what the cover up was or if they even went into it. But still nonsense. They probably think every death is a cover up and disbelieve every single thing the media reports. What a way to live your life. Their conspiracy theories on serious things like covid are laughable. Why can’t they just talk about Avril Lavigne being replaced by an actress instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're fine with giving airtime to people who have scientifically disproven views, who are spreading said dangerous views to more and more people, then you're actually part of the problem.

WyattSheepMask Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) If someone gives you a red pen and tells you it’s blue, they’re wrong and you can prove that because you have a red pen in your hand and no-one holds a blue one. We have evidence that the Earth isn’t flat, David Weiss has nothing, that’s why you don’t debate with him and his kind, because they have nothing. I forget which comedian it was that did a routine about having balance in the media, but it would be like staging a debate between a dentist, explaining the reasons to have good dental hygiene, verses a someone whose pulled 9 of their teeth out using shoe-laces. “Explain why I’m wrong, don’t tell me you’re right” Edited January 8, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
