Sorry for piggybacking here, Dan. I have killfiled the dood, so his post
never showed up.

If you jump, gravity will pull you down
Wrong. No one has proven gravity is a pull >>and many scientists are

It looks like you failed basic science. Everything gets pulled down to the
center of the Earth.
Wrong. The net effect is that gravity will pull >you down when you jump
up
from the earth's surface. Gravity is weaker and >weaker as you go to

elevations. When you jump, you achieve a >higher elevation temporarily.
The
fact that gravity is weaker in the direction you >are jumping suggests
that
"pull" is the correct term for a force that acts >more strongly in the
direction opposite from your body's motion. >Knowing what gravity is or

not is irrelevant for the discussion at hand.
Wonderfully said, Dan.
Post by Liggett SelectThe sky is blue
Wrong. The sky has no color. What you see >>are reflections of light
shining
Post by Liggett Selectthrough moisture prisms.
Wrong. The sky has many colors; we just happen to see blue.
Here's a link that explains why:
http://www.why-is-the-sky-blue.org/why-is-the-sky-blue.html
But I was more or less going by people's general impressions. Everyone sees
it is blue, and thus thinks that is what color it is. If you went up to
someone sand said "My, look at that beautiful multi-colored sky", they would
think you were nuts.
Wrong. The sky has many colors, but primarily >blue in the day. Blueness
of
the sky has nothing to do with moisture. Look it >up.
Again, well said.
Post by Liggett SelectWe will always have taxes
Wrong. There are many people who don't pay >>taxes. Do you think the
United
Post by Liggett SelectStates is the world? Or have you realized yet >>that there are droves of
humans
Post by Liggett Selectliving in different parts of the world with >>different economics??
Both wrong and irrelevant. His statement that >>"we will always have
taxes"
makes no claim that this is Americans only. The >>fact that some people
do
not pay taxes does not invalidate his statement of >>fact. "We" could be
the
People of Earth. You could argue that taxes will >someday be abolished,
but
that isn't what you said.
Again, Dan said it better than I could.
Post by Liggett SelectAIDS is fatal
Wrong again. 2 Words: Magic Johnson.
In order to make an argument, you have to know the difference, junior.
HIV positive is not fatal. AIDS is.
Wrong. Magic Johnson does not have AIDS. >He has the HIV infection.
People
who contract AIDS, which is a result of the HIV >virus, tend to die. I
don't
know the current %'s on that, so this point could >be argued.
Well said.
Post by Liggett Select1. What school(s) did you go to??
High school, then college, thanks for asking. What "school" did you go to?
Here's a tip, junior: get a lawyer and sue your teachers. Better yet, why
don't you graduate from junior high first?
I'm sure it was better than the outhouse you >apparently learned at.
LOL
Post by Liggett Select3. Are you mentally challenged?
I can tell you this, he's not challenged by you.
dwhite
It's hard to be challenged by someone when you can't even see his posts.
Thanks for the response, Dan.
