FUNNY Political Cartoons XIV: For the Laughs

[hoplitejoe]

So Putin is communist now? You can dislike a leader without them being commies America.

 

[Arakhor]

It's also a rather lame word joke.

That's not the point of the joke, the joke is that Putin is as evil of a leader as Stalin or Lenin (who really wasn't that bad).

It was implied by the red and the stars. Saying Putin is anywhere near as bad as Stalin is equally stupid anyway.

If you people can't stop getting into long-winded political discussions sans pics I shall be forced to keep posting old-timey political cartoons.

"William Pitt, wearing a regimental uniform and hat, sitting at a table with Napoleon. They are each carving a large plum pudding on which is a map of the world. Pitt's slice is considerably larger than Napoleon's."

Fine, I shall continue this debate via VM.

Both the 15th Century and to some extent the 19th century one are common myths, but who the hell would have dismissed gravity?

 

[Cutlass]

All it took was for a vocal minority to believe those things

 

[hoplitejoe]

I doubt anyone would have pointed to the sky and said "hurr gravity", it is even more daft than thinking anyone in Europe thought the world was flat in 1600.

This even turned up in Bad History, they can tell you why it is complete BS better than me.

 

[dragonprobably]

There are still people who think the Earth is flat and that gravity doesn't exist.

 

[hoplitejoe]

From the very link you posted

The idea that people used to believe that the Earth was flat until only very recently, mostly due to the influence of religion, is essentially a complete myth. A Greek Egyptian by the name of Eratosthenes not only proved the world was round, but calculated its circumference with an error of less than 2 percent, and did it in the third century BCE — nearly two thousand years before Columbus had ever existed. This is often brought up as an example of how secular enlightenment has triumphed over unfounded religious dogma; indeed, some theories state that this is the reason the myth is so popular.[2] Another possible reason for the myth may be the existence of various Flat Earth Societies in the 19th century.

The gravity thing you posted isn't actually someone thinking gravity doesn't exist, but adapting it for a holographic universe model. In Quantum Physics you need new equations for things like momentum, that doesn't mean einstein didn't think gravity existed.

WHomever did that last cartoon has no knowledge of history, bt that is typical of such attacks.

 

[Kyriakos]

Eratosthenes was one of the greatest minds of his era (and probably all-around). Worth noting that his way to calculate the circumference of the earth (cause it was already known that the earth was not flat) was to use sun-casting shadows over different positions in his Ptolemaic Empire of the time. The experiment was very conclusive, and the margin of error is explained by the non-calculation of different lengths regarding the equatorial size.

(He also is famous for the Sieve, a method for calculating prime numbers, and for being the head librarian at the Library of Alexandria).

So how about those political cartoons?

 

[Antilogic]

That is a fairly detailed $100 bill for a political cartoon.

It should be a suit cased filled to the brim with them
