Title: Maryland Exists
Post by: GreatWyrmGold on February 07, 2013, 08:08:22 pm
I have an occasional debate with some people I know over Maryland's existence.
I'm on the "it exists" side, of course.

Any suggestions on proving such?

Isn't Maryland like, a State?
On every U.S. Map?

I've heard rumors about it but I've never seen it myself.

Sometimes people put fake cities on maps so they'll know if people copy them. I theorize that Maryland was a fake state added to a map and everyone has just copied from that one instead of checking for themselves.

The US government, maps of the United States, and 5.8 million people are all proof of Maryland's existence.
Washington D.C. is not a state though, so don't get that in your head.

Maryland exists, it's Nebraska I doubt.
Why is there never anyone from Nebraska on these things? I'm starting to think it's uninhabited.
There is a prevailing theory amongst historians that Nebraska was actually nuked into a glassy wasteland by the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis and no one noticed because who gives a fuck about Nebraska? The total lack of reaction from the United States disturbed Khrushchev enough that he was willing to talk peace.

All Nebraskan voting records since that date have actually been demographic fabrications by a pro-Republican rogue Colonial who keeps the wasteland under lockdown by having all roads into it constantly be "out of order" under the guise of highway maintenance.
Have you ever been to or met anyone from Nebraska? No. No you have not.

Rhode Island's a lie. Isn't it suspicious that the only fact that has ever been known about it is that it's the smallest state in the Union? If it's nonexistant, of course it's the smallest.

It causes both.

Besides, everyone knows the main problem with the "theory" of maryland. the fact that the government is SOO close to it, one would expect it to be important. And yet? Nothing ever happens. When is the last time you heard of something from maryland making the news? Because it doesn't. the reason maryland is so close is that Washington DC is overseeing what their building their.

Simple. During the Cuban missile crisis, the russians nuked it to a flat glassy plain, and the americans didn't care because, nebraska. Now it's ruled by a rpublican-leaning warlord who falsifies all media comming out of Nebraska.

2) Knowledge is thus corrupted
3) Why should I believe something corrupted people tell me?
4) Maryland is just a prop from the state! Like landing on the moon! Or three headed monkeys!

No, that is a myth.  We do not assume responsibility for Fallout 3 or anything related to it... oh crap who am I kidding.

I''m going with massive gov research facility. The reason they never went to the moon is because there is something up there, that government doesn't want us to know about, And they are willing to spend billions of dollars of defecit (where do you think all those savings from taxes and cutting REALLY go?) to keep it from us.
 
Hence, Maryland.

Title: Re: Maryland Exists
Post by: Firelordsky on February 21, 2013, 05:47:27 pm
The Mississippi River is flowing only in one direction, right? So, if there was nothing east of the Mississippi River, then the Mississippi wouldn't be a river any longer as there would be no east bank in order to separate the Mississippi from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi would cease to be a river as the water wouldn't be moving anymore and thus cannot qualify as a river. I've been to California, so I can't really say that anything west of the Mississippi does not exist. Plus, The Gulf of Mexico is a gulf, right?

As soon as people started commonly using it as a word, it became a word.

What is and is not a word is a matter of opinion, but it does convey the idea it is intended to convey. I consider alright a word, and so does Firefox, apparently.

Noone does not count. It is an abomination. But besides noone, everything from donut to thru to lol is definitely a word.

Then how do we draw the line between abomination and acceptance? I would consider thru an abomination and lol a slang term. Noone knows.

I had never heard any controversy over the existence of Maryland. What do you think occupies that section of land? Ducks?

That is what I thought.

It's believable enough. Does this look like the face of someone who isn't secretly a cosmic horror to you?

There's of course the question of acceptability in various parts of the world. English isn't really internationally standardized, an American would never usually use sod colloquially or spell doughnut out the "proper" way. An British person might think fantasy as abomination, and wouldn't consider it unusual to refer to somebody that you don't mate with as "mate" along with Australians.

So no one knows if noone's acceptable in the broadest sense. I think it's stupid, but obviously can't speak for anybody but myself.

Pfft, only people from over seas think Australians say 'mate'... We prefer the term 'cobber'!  :P
