Neil deGrasse Tyson diss track -B.o.B.

[Phatscotty]

LULZ

The rapper B.o.B has stirred up some controversy with tweets declaring that the Earth is flat and that NASA fooled the entire world in 1969 by faking the historic moon landing. It might have gone unnoticed, just another remarkably uniformed tweet among many, but then Neil deGrasse Tyson, the renowned astrophysicist, responded and tried to talk B.o.B down. B.o.B. couldn’t stop himself and carried on, making things worse.

Lmao, so according to b.o.b. and his like minded followers,Terry Pratchet is indeed correct, we are riding through space on the back of A-Tuin a giant turtle and indeed the world is a disc, he should stop smoking or taking whatever shit he is doing, and congrats to CC for being proactive and ahead of technology with their map

Well Scotty I take it you have never read the Discworld books I did in the eighties when I was in Germany they were actually fascinating books well written and the first one that I read was called the wyrd sisters. so yes I recognize a couple years ago when conquer club got the map of Discworld I knew what it was about I wonder how many others that have actually played that map know where it came , and as for Bob the new poster child of why you should not use illegal drugs because it screws your brain up

[jgordon1111]

Some other books that had an interesting take one religion, good omens,and on Christmas hogfather, which was incidently made into a movie.these were also by Pratchet.

Learned a lot already this hour, thanks mate! Thanks to Mets also in a different thread, I learned something important and it may even change how I think about a few things.

[jgordon1111]

Well that's the good even here on conquer club you may be able to learn something that you didn't know before and that frankly some times shocks me, because often time as you get a wisecrack and answers from people that really don't know what to say or wisecrack and pictures the supposed to mean what they think and unfortunately they would rather use a gif and actually take the time to express in words what they want to and it's pretty obvious that the one that use the Gifs are also the ones that are pretty sure they're smarter than everyone else

[Phatscotty]

One day they will learn as I did. The secret is out but only half of us know it. People who are educated, informed, intelligent, witty, knowledgeable, wise don't get reduced into profanity, name calling, non-sequitors, and tomfoolery. People who are reduced to such do so because it's all they know how to do, since if they knew anything else they would not make such a fool out of themselves in public for everyone to see. Sure, they might be funny, and maybe that's all their going for. There are exceptions, like AOG and Saxitoxin and few others, but they are far and few between.

Perfect example.
Tyson's responds to B.o.B. using science and history, his response stays on topic, his response does not turn the topic into a personal issue
B.o.B. responds to Tyson 'I'm over here on this side of town, come on over over over over over here and try to clown'

Also wanted to post the Degrasse diss track to b.o.b.'s diss track
