        The reality is that everyday when I walk my dogs I can observe Santa Barbara Island 43 miles away a fact that cannot be debunked as proof of a flat plane.

    Google Trends data reveals searches for “Sexual harassment” in the past year has risen dramatically, with about a 1400 percent surge in interest in the topic.

    Therefore, according to the claim above, it should be equally reasonable to state:
    ‘SUPPORT for ”Sexual harassment” has been exploding in popularity.’

    This is of course absurd, as interest cannot be equated with support like the above posting says. A search doesn’t include why it is happening, or the personal thoughts of the searcher; only that the topic is being searched.

    Evidence matters.

    Thx,

    Makes sense there would be a surge, just look at the news, stupid is at an all time high, with lunacy a close second. People that really believe this sewage are deranged. Once this gets a hold of them, they lose all faith, hope, common sense and intellect. My best friend swallowed this junk hook line and sinker. Died of cancer, couldn’t believe the doctors trying to treat him, stayed home and drank bleach and Indian tea from Canada- everyone else was lying to him. NASA, the government, the teachers……the Doctors. Get it dopey?
