Ok Fine. You Want Good English? Then Krishna My Dear Sir(?) Let Us Debate!

It is an indubitable fact of evolution, that every hominid evolves. [i]Eventually[/i]. Yet shall we call this, say, a temporary transformation? One in which I shall throw aside my veil of feigned primeval tendencies, rising up in service of the higher principles of science? Dear Krishnas Prophet, it is with my finest English that I ardently request a few moments of your time to debate the patently false principles of flat earth theory which you espouse. It is a well know fact within this community that you have directly refused to debate the challenges I have urged against your theory: [quote]As I have said: drop the cave man gimmick and I will debate you. Until then, have fun getting attention.[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/221895744?sort=0&page=0 I stand here denuded of all subhuman pretense. I trust that you will come. If you wish to suggest some other venue (under the auspices of which) you would prefer to deliberate, please inform me of such location and I will conduct myself there directly. I remain your ever obliging and equally solicitous, Homo Habilis

  • Wow! Monkey can talk! My primary issue with your gimmick was your condescending tone, something you have recreated here as an ultimate attention grab. We all know you got an A in writing 101. Happy now? But as I did say I would debate you if you used proper English, I suppose I must do so, even if it only serves to swell your ego. First I want to say this: Flat Earth Theory is not "patently false", it is a core truth of our universe that anyone with an open mind can see. Using the rational framework of The Argument to The Best Explanation, FET shows again and again that it holds up under objective scrutiny better than any other theory, scientific or otherwise. You can not explain away the simple fact that the horizon is FLAT.

      Flatman actually replied, but he didn't say anything related to your first post. On top of that, he insulted you for actually doing what he told you to do. Blah blah, the horizon is flat, so the earth is flat. [spoiler]FACT.[/spoiler] Here's my response. The average horizon can extend anywhere from 3 to 12 miles, or more depending on your height and position. When the diameter of the earth is over 9 thousand miles, and the circumference is 27 thousand miles, there's going to be some drop off if it's round That's a microscopic hole in a ridiculously large bucket, yet a hole that you can't climb out of with your flat earth theory. And just because it's a flat horizon doesn't mean the earth is flat. That makes no geometrical sense at all. It stays flat all the way around, curving downwards into the rest of the globe. You desribe a "theoretical round earth" as having a curved horizon, but that would look like a Pringle. Everything should look like that messed up curvy SuperView on a GoPro.

        All the people replying to Krishna's comment is making it difficult for the two to debate. I think a new thread needs to be started or a new comment chain and people need to not reply to it and just let the two debate, or else it will just get cluttered with teenage shitposts just like the one going right now is.

            • I'm curious. Does anyone else mentally record the events of Offtopic as if they were historically significant? The Solitaire Attack on Gaming The Great Ball Hurtening Destiny Ja Now, the Battle of the Two Earths.

                • This must've taken so long, googling fancy synonyms to all these words. Stop trying to seem smart - every thread you've made against Krishna was an article copy-pasted with the caveman gimmick applies. Not only that, but they're just pathetic attempts at becoming popular in OffTopic.

And in the red corner, we have the arrogant, the unbearably ignominious, Krishna's Prophet! This is the fight of the century, the one we've all been clamouring for! Blood will fly, bones will break, and brains will be pulverized! There's the starting bell, now let's get readyyyy to [b]rumble![/b][/i]

                      • Technically, I believe that you should've spelled out 'Ok' in the title. It should be 'Okay,' unless I'm much mistaken. Maybe that's why he hasn't responded yet. [spoiler]I could be wrong, I'm just a bit hung over.[/spoiler]

                        • While a larger vocabulary will help with the debate, Krishna had no right to force the change. The worst part is he will not listen regardless, as he casts out many arguments entirely and relies on twisted and broken science to explain his side. I am happy to see someone else debating him, but I am bound to be disappointed in Krishna by the end.
