Yep. The edge of the world. Again, this is easily verified. Just sail up to it.
Don't bother asking a pilot to fly you there, they'll just fly you in a circle.

Oh, no., no nonono, what I mean is that if you try to observe the curvature in a set of circumstances that we might call realistic for the average person - you really can see things that would suggest that the earth was flat.  There was actually a business and market to this back in the day.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Your reply to awty wasn’t relevant to my reply to you. That is the ONLY reason I snipped your post. Your assessment of the FDA regulation of COVID vaccines is, well, stupid.

You don’t seem to grasp what a straw man is. I’m not constructing a parody of your argument and refuting that instead of your actual argument. I’m not even attempting a refutation of your actual argument. I’m simply dismissing it because it’s (wait for it) stupid.

Boru

honestly i dont care.. if your not intelligent enough to see the covid vax is not subject to the same scrutiny as all other vaccines then again i don't care. if you don't remember or your fake news sources did not inform you that president trump lifted all FDA scrutiny in order to fast track these vaccines again i don't care. if you too short minded to remember or never knew that all the lead medical people involved including fauci said it would not be possible for a vaccine to be produced and administered under a year, because FDA trials alone would mean it would be several years out.. again i don't care. and again if this makes me look stupid to you a person obviously misinformed i welcome that title . 
go get your vaccine, and protect yourself from that .02% mortality rate.. then lock yourself down while wearing a double mask like fauci says... Hehe

I only know of the jewish flavor of religions having that format. More specifically, christianity, islam, mormonism and even in those, there are sects that don’t advertise much. For example, catholicism, protestantism, jehova’s witness, LDS (mormonism) invest heavily into advertising.

By America, I assume you mean the USA. In Canada, they don’t have to pay taxes and probably it is the same in Mexico and all Europe related countries, including Russia, Georgia, Armenia. I don’t know about muslim countries but I assume that they respected their churches and master leaders a lot, so the population is very willing to give them money.

Yeah those countries know better, the governments do anyway. In America, it's about how wonderful a made up story is and how people should given money, to be great people to help the church, save people. Greatest scam ever made up.
