I missed you…
ZSNES,
i missed you so much.
Its very difficult to convince your self that you can be with someone forever, especially when they do things that you hate.
I feel bad so we should find some way to give them these cards
Time cube is wrong
Hartwell in 2004 [Mike Hartwell, Staff Writer for The Maine Campus 9/24,http://www.mainecampus.com/media/storage/paper322/news/2004/09/24/Style/Timecube.com.Where.Reality.As.We.Know.It.Is.A.Lie-730989.shtml?norewrite200607171432&sourcedomain=www.mainecampus.com]
Finding nut cases on the Internet is easier than finding NASCAR bumper stickers in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Well, watch out, loyal reader, because a Class A specimen can be found at Timecube.com. The Webmaster, self-proclaimed “wisest man on earth” Gene Ray, has run this den of insanity for seven years and counting. The layout is almost as bad as the Falcons Nest (http://www.angelfire.com/sc/thefalcon/). There is no home page or individual sections in Timecube. You just have to scroll down one long page into the spiraling madness at the bottom. The premise of the Web page is to inform the masses that the universe as we know it is a lie. Ray has various graphs that show that each day is really four separate days occurring simultaneously. He assures you that the day is naturally divided into four parts, sunup, midday, sundown and midnight. He is very sure of this. A few years ago he was equally zealous that the day is divided differently into four parts. The Web site used to speak of morning, early afternoon, late afternoon and evening. It appears that Ray is a man of science after all and exchanged his crazy, ironclad view for a similar crazy view. The entire Web page is written without grammatical editing. Between countless examples of Ray calling you stupid and “educated evil” youll find little gems like, “The academia created 1 day greenwich time is bastardly queer and dooms future youth and nature to a hell.” There is a lot of resentment for Greenwich central time in his Web page. Ray makes it out to be an international conspiracy. After all, when it’s noon in England, why should it be night elsewhere on the same day? This seems to confuse our dear webmaster, so he made up an obviously fake letter in broken English about a teacher confessing to sign an affidavit stating that she would “uphold the Greenwich myth until death.” For the record, the last quote was originally typed with the Caps Lock feature on. If you continue to scroll down the endless page, you’ll notice subtle little racist ideologies. It builds and builds, until finally he explodes with “Integration is a racial slop, destroying all of the races.” At one point, Ray promises a thousand dollar reward to anyone who can prove that the earth is not a four-sided sphere. This sounds like an easy task. Unfortunately, to win you also need to convince him that his theory is bonkers. That would require an answer spoken in his brand of spaceman logic. Even if you could pull that off with the rising costs of Web space and tinfoil helmets, Ray is probably broke. The page is not to be taken lightly. If you read Ray for too long you will experience physical pain from the onslaught of lunacy. Do not try to make sense of the illogical flow of bad science and conspiracy theorem or you may experience the pain of death fourfold.
Timecube is mathematically flawed
Brant 2005 [Dmitry Brant, Lawyer, “On Time Cube,”http://dmitrybrant.com/timecube/]
Since when does a cube have four corners? A cube has 8 corners, 6 faces, and 12 edges. A cube doesn’t have 4 of anything! However, Gene Ray might be referring to “corner” as in the corner of a room. But for that to make sense, we would need to assign a “top” and “bottom” face to each cube we conceive, which would not be practical. The number 4 itself is a square, not a cube. Aside from the number 4, Gene Ray pulls other numbers out of nowhere, like 4/16, 2×4x4, and so on. This might indicate periods of more extensive synaptic degradation in Ray’s brain. Why does all available evidence show that the Earth experiences one day within a single rotation, instead of four days like Ray suggests? In fact, a single rotation is precisely what defines a “day,” so to say that more than one day occurs within a single rotation is meaningless. A number of times in the text, Gene speaks of an “absolute proof” of his theory, but never presents one. And the web page that is supposed to hold his explanation of the “4/16 space-times” is conveniently under construction. Gene claims that he will give $1000 to the first person to disprove Time Cube. What would constitute such a disproof? Gene himself calls Time Cube “ineffable.” Being ineffable makes Time Cube unfalsifiable, and thus unscientific.

Timecube is conceptually flawed
Brant 2005 [Dmitry Brant, Lawyer, “On Time Cube,”http://dmitrybrant.com/timecube/]
Gene Ray claims that it is the educational system that is preventing children from learning about Time Cube. So then how can Gene Ray understand Time Cube if he was “educated” in the same way as the rest of us? What was it that made him realize the alleged cubic state of nature? What reason would the educational establishment have to prevent children from learning about Time Cube? If a person grew up completely isolated on an uninhabited island (without an educational system), would she understand Time Cube? I’m willing to bet that she would probably experience a single day in a single Earth rotation. The various applications of the Time Cube theory presented by Gene Ray (rotation of the Earth, the human face, the human races, and human metamorphosis) are completely unrelated. How can a single theory apply to such radically different phenomena?

The earth isn’t divided into four quadrants
Brant 2005 [Dmitry Brant, Lawyer, “On Time Cube,”http://dmitrybrant.com/timecube/]
Gene Ray, the formulator of the Time Cube theory wants someone to disprove him, right? Well, I will.
According to him, the earth is divided into four quadrants. How could that be? Maybe you think that the Greenwich Meantime Line also passes at the other side, acting somewhat like a longitudinal counterpart of the Equator. Here is an explanation why it is wrong: The GMT Line is called as it is because it passes on the exact same spot of Greenwich. The two poles act as the endpoints of this specific line. The Equator does not have any endpoint because there is no pole to interfere at the passageway of the line. So why conclude that the GMT Line has no endpoints? Comparison with the Equator alone could tell the difference! There is another aspect of his theory which is wrong. He also stated that if the earth were divided into four quadrants, then there would be four legged horses. What is its connection with time? We’re talking about time and the rotation of the Earth, not the evolution of species! Besides, chickens only have two feet. Does that mean to say that if we will not believe in time cube, we deserve to see half-footed chickens? What monstrosity are you trying to invent? What happened to the chicken? Its foot got amputated because of diabetes? Wow! I didn’t know chickens could have diabetes.
Earth rotates once every twenty-four hours, it’s counter-intuitive to think otherwise
Russel 2005 [Randy Russel, Scientist, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research – January 13, “The Earth’s Rotation,http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/the_universe/uts/earth2.html]
The Earth is rotating around an axis (called its rotational axis). Some objects rotate about a horizontal axis, like a rolling log. Some objects, such as a skater, rotate about a vertica5l axis. The Earth’s axis is tipped over about 23.5° from vertical. How do we define up and down in space? What would “vertical” mean? For the Earth, we can think of vertical as straight up and down with respect to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun (called the ecliptic). Earth’s rotational axis points in the same direction relative to the stars, so that the North Pole points towards the star Polaris. Think of the Earth as a spinning top, tipped over to one side. Over very long time periods (thousands of years) the direction of Earth’s axis slowly changes due to precession. The Earth rotates around once in 24 hours - that’s a rate of 1000 miles per hour! The time it takes for the Earth to rotate completely around once is what we call a day. It’s Earth’s rotation that gives us night and day. The combined effect of the Earth’s tilt and its orbital motion result in the seasons.
Keep your fucking mouth shut about things you don’t understand.
OR I WILL VERBALLY RAPE YOU WITH MY MAD DEBATE POLITICS SKILLZZZ.
Did you even watch the State of the Union adress?

1. The bitchy little old lady. She’s been coaching for 20 years, and her kids both went down in team history. She knows her case-side arguments really really well, but is totally ignorant when it comes to anything more pretentious than a counterplan. Strictly stock issues, she’ll rarely vote on anything but on-case or a disad, because she doesn’t know shit about theory arguments (even stuff like condo good/bad). Likely to deduct speaker points for really dumb trivial errors like taking a pencil up to the podium on accident or referring to the other team as “he” or “she” instead of “my opponent.”
2. The half-ass. Mid-20s guy who’s probably wearing a hat and a college sweatshirt. He’ll half-heartedly flow the first two constructive speeches on his laptop, and then he’ll spend the rest of the round playing minecraft. His phone will go off a minimum of 3 times before the round is over. He’ll sit and smirk at both teams during the 2AR and won’t bother to write any of it down. Eventually, he’ll vote completely on the basis of the 2NR, and he’ll nail the 1A for the stuff they “dropped” in rebuttal, even though he slept all the way through the block.
3. The “nice” judge. This is likely an obese middle-aged lady who’s wearing either a floor-length denim jumper or a nauseatingly frumpy hand-knit sweater. She knows absolutely NOTHING about debate, even though she says she’s stock issues. Her paradigm will say that you need to read cards at a conversational speed. In the end, she’ll vote for whoever has the best “public speaking skills” and probably screw over the team that actually knew what they were doing. Her ballot will say nothing about the speeches other than that they sounded “nice.”
4. The former college star. They know exactly which arguments they want in the round after they hear the first two speeches, and if you don’t make those arguments, they’ll kill your speaker points and bitch about it after the round in an oral critique they aren’t supposed to give. Especially lethal to the second speakers, they’ll hate the 2AC for undercovering that one theory argument, and they willalways think that the 2N went for the wrong thing in their rebuttal. Ultimately they’ll vote Neg because of whatever the 1A dropped after the block, and the 1N will automatically get the highest speaker points unless they stutter during the constructive.
5. The overeducated judge. This judge knows debate better than you ever will, and the BOD won’t make any sense because it’s based on logic you don’t even understand. Somehow he’ll deduce a winner from impacts calc or theory arguments that weren’t even directly made in the round. Someday the ballot will make sense to you, but for now you’ll have to settle with slinking dejectedly out of the room and feeling really dumb.
6. The nut. The other team will know how crazy this judge is and bring in either a K-Aff or a Neg argument akin to Malthus or Spark. You will automatically lose unless you dress up like a pirate, declare that the ballot is your “booty,” steal it, and run out of the room. Then, they’ll let you go, because they’ll think it’s an argument with enough merit for you to win the round.
Got any others folks?
Or you are on the Utah circuit and any judge who isn’t tab will be exiled forever.
Because my last attempt got rebloged I will try again.
Watching a round right this moment where I might have to vote on O-Spec. Seems apropos.
I’m pretty sure I’ve won on ospec…that’s what you get for clarifying in the 2ac you cheating douche
what’s their ship name? annlie? anslie? leslann? lesann?
PRESH REGARDLESS
This kind of support is really important and beautiful. Just like Ann.
