Originally posted by springvalley112I was sitting here thinking, since we are so close to having a vaccine available, how many of ya'll will be getting a vaccine and will you require your families to get their children a vaccine? Do you think that your states childcare standards will include that children will have to get a vaccine as a requirement to attend childcare or school?
Also, my brother and I were talking and he read that the vaccine is not to prevent you from getting sick but eases the symptoms when you do get it. So if this is true then I will take that into consideration when I make my decision.- Flag

Round, flat or square.... the world is a powder keg just waiting to go off. Everyone is offended by something and everything and ‘snarky’ seems to be the new norm. (in general)
I try hard to find the good in every day and in everyone and freely admit it’s hard; sometimes near impossible but I do believe that a majority of people care about others.
Each of us are experiencing some form of impact from COVID. It’s not racist, biased or judgmental.
I think (individually and collectively) we learn the most from the worst times. If we don’t history repeats itself.
I pray for everyone. lovethis- Flag

::
: - Wikipedia is not consider a reliable source. It is created and edited by the average man, I could edit and say that Magellan was my uncle. History books have also been found to have errors because the people that wrote them were not actually there.
"Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer, successfully led a fleet of ships continuously around the world in the early 1500s, proving, finally, that the Earth was indeed round." < ---- this states in a roundabout way (roundabout :: ), that once an explorer sailed around the world, there was no longer a question that the world was in fact round. Ending any skepticism that it was not. Thus proving the world was round not just claiming that they believed it to be.
Was he the first to claim the world was round, no but he was the first one to back up his claim with proof. Or at least he was according to the history books...
Who knows if someone else went before him, it is completely possible that a pirate (or maybe it was the Vikings) ship sailed around the world first thinking that they were lost, and ashamed that it took them so long to get home that they made up stories of fighting off dragons for buried treasures. We will never know and the good news is it does not matter.- Flag

You got your Magellan source from boys life which also says what I said about it being proven round way before Magellan..- Flag

Aristotle was the first to notice that “There are stars seen in Egypt which are not seen in the northerly regions.” And since this could only happen on a curved surface, he hypothesized that the Earth was a sphere. He was also the first to observe that the shadow of Earth on the moon during a lunar eclipse is round. Even with his evidence, the world wasn’t yet convinced, after all civilization had always believed the Earth to be flat, and a silly-named Greek philosopher wasn’t going to change their mind so easily.
But it wasn’t until the height of the Roman Empire, several hundred years later, that the theory of a spherical Earth became mainstream when Roman authors included the fact in any and all scientific writings. But even then, no one knew how big of a sphere the Earth actually was, and the whole thing was just as big a mystery as ever.- Flag

But even then, no one knew how big of a sphere the Earth actually was, and the whole thing was just as big a mystery as ever.: Science also once said that pluto was a planet and now say that they were wrong and it is a moon. (as they say, 2 wrongs don't make them right)
BTW -:: I did a bing search and took the first thing that popped up, I did not even pay attention to the source nor did I open the article or pay attention to who the explorer was, it could have said, Henry Hudson, was the explorer, I just posted it. (although I would have been embarrassed if you had said I got it from playboy
or hooters
).
So truthfully I did a search and not research, although all I said was that I found it on the world wide web, I never said how and never claimed I did any research.
Although it has been fun, I will have to end this endless discussion with you.
I came, I made my point, I am done, time to move on.
Oh, one more thing, I am not sure if I should say this or not because... but if you use the "quote" button at the bottom of the person's comment, then we would know for sure who you are talking to or what comment you are referencing. But you probably already knew that.
Have a nice day. :hug:Last edited by Michael; 12-07-2020, 11:41 PM.- Flag

You knew who I was talking to because YOU responded back to me. And, thats my whole point, you says things here like you know it like it is fact, when in actuality you don't know anything, and than you become upset when you are called out on it, and you didn't want to move on, because, I stopped talking about science and Covid, and even apologized, but YOU could not keep me out of your mouth. Now, the conversation IS over. Have a great day...😉- Flag

You say things here like you know it like it is fact, when in actuality you don't know anything, and than you become upset when you are called out on it, but you would be better prepared to act like you really knew what you were talking about if you actually had done a proper research. Also,, you did not want to move on, because, I stopped talking about science and Covid, and even apologized, but YOU could not keep my nane out of your mouth. Now, the conversation reakky IS over. Have a great day...😉- Flag

In the spirit of my (off)sense of humor sometimes, where do all of you find the time to do this research??? ::
And come on now, everything I learned about the earth, planets, science, life, happened in school. And we *all* know how accurate that's been.- Flag
