But that was from the discussion on tails, so I'm not sure where you're coming from here.

Your mind is more made up than you're aware of.

The reason the sun doesn't have a tail is because there's no massive object millions of times its size nearby blasting radiation at it.

That's really interesting actually. Too bad it's only a cartoon.

now that's an answer! thanks man! see everyone!? i am WAY more open-minded than you think. sadly though, this was just a flight of fancy. even if we deduced by logic that the sun should have a tail, the only thing that would suggest is that we're either not moving, or just moving really slowly. to say it's a proof of a flat earth would be a fallacy of division.

i was hoping this would happen.

and that's the positive note i'm gonna leave this at for the night, cuz usually i turn MB off while slightly perturbed at the members. gracias maxly jansz!

in my absence, feel free to tackle the observable science in those videos i posted.

Wait, lol? So you believe that cartoon?

I'll be sure to use Wikipedia in our future discussions.

sorry dude, but your answer is not a paraphrased version of jansz's. his (i get the feeling jansz is a guy) was succinct. yours was "the sun and comets aren't the same."

no. i don't. but if i believed the earth was a ball, i probably would.
