Quote (card_sultan @ Aug 11 2017 11:30pm)
Attacking the source is not ad hominem, ad - hominem is when you attack the person. Doesn't matter that you cited a source, it's correlation is just nothing more than the fallacy logic and typical clap trap you so often use when your arguments fail as they inevitably do. Moreover your appeal to the authority "Wiki", just points out how incredibly weak your own argument and ideology is. Obviously its because you cannot express your point while also revealing how what a typical hypocrite and intellectually dishonest you are because whenever i post a link - you cry foul.
You are correct - i believe whatever i want - and not because someone tells me the facts. If their opinions consistently and logic match my own experience and that is different than what i was told to believe, than i'm willing to change, you are not. You just believe what you were taught in 1st grade - and that resulting in your believing in the state no matter what. Nothing you have said debunks any point in FE/Geocentrity, and it clear you totally believe all the cartoons Nasa shows you. I have good news for you, Space X will soon be offering trips to Mars, you should go, bon voyage.
Wrong like usual.
Quote
Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.[2]
Oh, but wait! I used a Wiki source! SO CONTROVERSIAL!

or how about this source, I know you've used it yourself, since you've placed your own entries in it:
Quote
An attack upon an opponent in order to discredit their arguement or opinion. Ad hominems are used by immature and/or unintelligent people because they are unable to counter their opponent using logic and intelligence.
So there was nothing weak in my argument. Saying you ad hom'd was my way of saying you DODGED THE POINT, because you did, and moved on with your typical character assassination of NASA without actually addressing the point. THAT is intellectually weak, something you once again heap a great deal of irony on when you accuse me of doing what you JUST did. Again. Like all the time.
You believe whatever you want. You suffer from a massive case of confirmation bias. You aren't seeking or spreading "the truth," you're absolutely willing to lie to yourself and everyone else in an effort to spew the flat Earth BS that your fervently believe. It's your faith. Your religion. You have no science, you have religion. There's nothing wrong with having your religion, but don't preach it to everyone else as if it were "the truth" when you can't prove it.
