Why don't you sell your Pontiac and give the money to the local charity who provides meals to the homeless. Practice what you preach. Buy yourself an old banger car instead or catch public transport.

They don’t need this. They can see the Earth is not flat from the live feed in the orbiting Space Station. I have a nephew who believes that crap. Just shows that a fool is born every day. I ask them if their head is flat when they look into a mirror. For them it is because they don’t have any space for a brain…lol.

First I believe the Earth is flat I used to believe the earth was round because I believe what I was taught by this wicked government but on father research and having common sense that thank for myself and the fact that there's no proof that the world is a globe, plus I'm pretty sure that people that went up in that flight did not see a round ball flowing around the sun at 666666.6 million miles per hour and a vast universe with no gravity or light, But let's not try to make final people that have different belief
