FLAT EARTH THEORY
In these day, there are still people out there who believe the Earth is flat — and if a few recent news stories are any indication, they’re making a comeback.
The argument is nothing new. The theory re-emerged in the late 19th century, when truthers thought all that Earth-is-round science and whatnot was part of a conspiracy to debunk religion, according to the Pacific Standard.
We’ve reported on flat-Earth truthers more recently, and we give them the same level of credence as people who believe there are reptilian aliens living in underground networks in Montauk, New York, controlling locals’ minds.
But when TV personality Tila Tequila went on a now-infamous Twitter rant about the Earth being flat earlier this month, the headlines followed, along with more conspiracy theories.
Also The leading flat Earth theory holds that our planet is actually a disc and that gravity is an illusion. As The Huffington Post reported in 2012:
Earth is a disc with the Arctic Circle in the center and Antarctica, a 150-foot-tall wall of ice, around the rim. NASA employees, they say, guard this ice wall to prevent people from climbing over and falling off the disc.
Earth’s day and night cycle is explained by positing that the sun and moon are spheres measuring 32 miles that move in circles 3,000 miles above the plane of the Earth. (Stars, they say, move in a plane 3,100 miles up.) Like spotlights, these celestial spheres illuminate different portions of the planet in a 24-hour cycle. Flat-earthers believe there must also be an invisible “antimoon” that obscures the moon during lunar eclipses.
The theory’s main proponent, the Flat Earth Society, has made some waves over the years, but truthers’ baffling arguments were losing most of their steam — until now. Tequila, who said late last year that she was struggling with mental illness and drug addiction, got the conversation going again.
If that weren’t enough, YouTube user and former truther TigerDan925 — who has 25,000 subscribers and has posted 18 flat Earth videos — caused a stir for turning the flat Earth theory on its head by conceding this month that Antarctica is a continent, not a wall.
“[This is] just the tip of the iceberg,” said flat-Earth convert Mark Sargent, who used his two decades of work in the tech and video game industries to create the site enclosedworld.com and a YouTube series called Flat Earth Clues. “There’s dissension in the ranks all over the place.”
“It’s almost like the beginning of a new religion. Everyone’s trying to define it. And they’re turning on each other because there’s no unified theory.”
For the record, the Earth is a bumpy spheroid. But it doesn’t seem like flat-Earth truthers — or Montauk lizard aliens — are going away anytime soon.
Meanwhile, here’s our theory about the renewed interest in our flat Earth.
Argumentative essay and Introductory paragraf
Bad habit of Indonesian Society
Littering has a bad habit of Indonesian society. people in their daily activities always consciously and deliberately littering. It happened because of a lack of awareness and sense of responsibility of each individual to a healthy environment. This is proven by the studies showed that 400 people in Indonesia are still littering. Littering littelary have a big impact on the environment and on society it self. We as human being who have intelligent from the other creature should be more awareness and responsibility of ourselves and to our environment.

MARVEL VS DC
Comic
In DC universe
comics, superhero such as batman and superman seem to carry all the weight of
humanity on their shoulders and they broodingly act out a way. Dc universe
comic darkest than marvel, because lot of characters in DC comics actually
killed by his enemy.
But different with
MARVEL comics tend to take on a lighter note, the heroes are ultimately
virtuous and shining rays of hope even with with wild or darkest like ironman

too much talk and joking around his kill
Tampa vs. Great Falls
Although Tampa and Great Falls are both American cities, there are differences in almost every aspect of living. The city of Tampa is in the southeastern United States. The weather in that part of the country is hot and humid almost all the time, so residents and tourists can enjoy the powdery white Gulf beaches year-round. There are also many theme parks and museums to experience. Tampa has great restaurants almost beyond counting. The restaurants range from five-star restaurants to walk-up counters. On the down side, there are aggressive panhandlers at every intersection. The traffic is a nightmare. There are many dangerous neighborhoods. The weather is also something to contend with; there are severe storms, tornados, floods, and hurricanes. There is also frequent and unexpected rudeness in strangers. In contrast, the city of Great Falls is in the northwestern United States. There are almost no aggressive panhandlers in Great Falls; they are certainly not at every intersection. There is little traffic in the city. The neighborhoods are generally safe, and almost everyone you meet is friendly and courteous. On the flip side, there are just a couple of good restaurants. There is no variety in the genre of restaurants. There is not much to offer locally in the way of theme parks or museums. However, the weather in Great Falls is generally agreeable. The summers are hot, dry, and windy. The winters are cold, snowy, and windy. Because of the variety in seasonal weather, there are many different types of outdoor activities to enjoy year-round. There is hiking, biking, swimming, and camping in the summer; in the winter there is skiing, snowboarding, and ice fishing. Both cities have much to offer in different ways. I believe that Tampa is a great place to visit on vacation, but Great Falls is the better place to live and raise a family.
