Why do you feel the need to call others "nutjobs"?
Some of our greatest inventions were created by people that others thought
were "a little off" or "nutjobs".
I'm not talking about people that are just a little off. The people I am referring to are plain nuts. Claiming the earth is flat, that NASA is the head of a conspiracy to keep people from finding out (by guarding a 6km+ high 'ice wall' at the edge of the earth...with a couple hundred soldiers no less...) and that continue to claim their 'evidence' that the earth is flat is accurate despite proof that it is not (while only accepting proof that 'supports' their ideas and completely ignoring everything that doesn't) to say nothing of the people (ironically administrators of the site...) that claim that dinosaurs were intelligent, built boats, colonized the earth and didn't leave evidence because 'wood doesn't fossilize' (ever heard of petrified wood...? guess they haven't...) and that plate tectonics, gravity and satellites don't exist either....all of that points to people who are legitimately nutjobs in my book. the sad part is thats only a tiny example of some of the stuff they claim on there. and don't even get me started on stormfront. Ugh...

They were also able to demonstrate their claims.
Exactly. Neither the flat earth society nor stormfront can demonstrate their claims. I once saw a post there that claimed that the holocaust had been proven false because 'they finally proved there was no cyanide residue on the gas chambers at der konzentrazonkamp Dachau' (oddly enough the way he worded it...I think people there like to use German words because they think it makes them sound smart) This clearly doesn't prove a thing considering that: A) Dachau was not an extermination camp, it was a concentration camp, B) There were no gas chambers at that camp, and therefore no 'residue' either. Even if there were I don't see how you'd find it 70 years later, and C) he even used the wrong word. If he was claiming it was a death camp he should have described it as a 'vernichtungslager' and couldn't even get that much right. So yeah, in short these people are nutjobs.
and of course the fact that both claim worldwide conspiracies that are illogical, have no basis in common sense and have no proof whatsoever for their existence.
