Relative motion @zmaj, the air is moving at the same speed as the ground so the airplane has no problem. I can also show you how light and other energies do no require air to pass through like sound does, another question you posted. Relative motion is like when you have a balloon in the car with closed windows and it is not thrown at the back window, it moves with the air in the car. The whole planet is similar as difficult as that may be to picture, I'll do my bestto explain. I have been coming back from my holiday, I saw your post and I will answer in PM once I get a chance.
I PM'd @zt379 last night about offensively ignorant propaganda garbage he posted about the Catholics / the Catholic church. I pointed out that he was beyond the pale for FIO IMO and pretty offensive. I did not report them as it as this is off-topic so sending a PM to advise he was offensive seemed fair. (I kept copies of the removed/edited posts). He responded that he did not intend offense etc etc. Discussing alternative views of the physical world is one thing, trying to bolster a weak hand with shallow faith based persecution accusations is BS.
I PM'd back with an it is ok, etc. before seeing that he had "doubled down" with as bad or worse. He removed the posts that would likely get him banned if reported however it is not really any better now.
His behavior is therefore DISGUSTING IMO. I'm not a liberal or a conservative, I try to see fair as fair and judge things as best I can. We must not exploit free speech dishonestly or allow ourselves to be harmed by fascistic origin rhetoric using the banner of free speech to spread to any mind they can infect.
The mark of an educated mind is being able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting it etc. But there are limits and spreading rhetoric intended to almost mindlessly harm others is one of those limits.
I'll answer your questions when I get a chance as ignorance peddlers like @zt379 should not go unchecked in my opinion.
I have been called in to baby sit this thread, after receiving Reported Posts.
Members should also NOT take it onto themselves to correct other users (as in the role of moderator), but instead should Report the post and let us deal with it ourselves. Engaging and "correcting" others as an authority just elevates the situation, making the site more divisive instead of bringing it together.
Members should never resort to name calling or otherwise rude behavior, including personal attacks. Consider this the only warning that anyone participating in this thread will receive. If you engage in rude behavior, you WILL be banned, regardless of your "status" on the site.
This thread is now closed. This content does not belong on futures io, even in the off-topic section. Do NOT re-post this type of content elsewhere on the site. We are a trading community, you can find other sites more suited to this conversation.
