The boy and the balloon.

See this "father" is a liar, he knew there was no way into the balloon, unless you sewed the kid in it.

The balloon was spinning in the video, no door, no way in.

Answer me something it you will, why in the living hell listen to anything the parents say, they are liars.

Another question, if there was a box, don't you think it would be rather small, I bean that thing hanging off the bottom looks like a hat box.

I think this entire exercise make me believe more than ever, that drinking non-fluorinated water, and leaving the flu shots to the folks that want them is a damn good idea. I truly believe that people lost their ability to think.

Three things.

One, you don't have room to call other liars - you aren't credible.

Two: Go back and read the link I gave you.

Three: You of all people shouldn't be making fun of what others may or may not drink.

All the experts disagree with you. They had to follow the balloon out until it came down, they couldn't take the chance that the son was right and the kid was trapped.

And since you haven't seen the door it follows you haven't seen the entire balloon.

There was a door.

Remember, you bought the story without seeing a thing.

No, I haven't made a thing up. You are not researching the incident which is just further proof that you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Object research of the facts is necessary before coming up with conclusions let alone before you come up with conclusions that lead you to mock others as sheep and unthinking. You would need to think before you can judge others as not having put any thought into anything.

BTW, "your" is the possessive of "you".

"You're" is a contraction. It is a combination of the words "you" and "are".

Here, maybe this link will help you finally figure out how to use the word "your" properly. You're gonna love the site, it has pictures and everything.

How to Use You're and Your

Steps

1. Understand the proper usage of the word you're. It is a contraction, or a combination of, the words you and are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't, they're, and can't.

* "You're a good friend." ("YOU ARE a good friend.")

* "I don't know what you're talking about." ("I don't know what YOU ARE talking about.")

2. Understand the proper usage of the word your. The word your is the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, or something that belongs to the person in discussion [or, the person you are talking to].

* "Is your stomach growling?"

* "Your book is on the table."

3. Take a look at some examples. Each of the following examples shows an incorrect use of your/you're, and why it is incorrect.

I saw the balloon this morning for the first time. I saw it fly and watched with an awe. This is not a story about a boy and the balloon, I wish it were that simple. This is a damning report of the American idiot, and unfortunately, there are more than you may want to believe.

At first glance of this thing flying, I felt sick. How in the hell can any adult in their right mind believe that this thing could lift a pound of sand off the ground, let alone a child? How much resources were put into chasing this thing? Why in gods name did someone not say, "are we fucking stupid, why are we running after this thing?" Have we lost our ability to think clearly, to rationalize a situation that should require little to no rationalizing skills what so ever?

I tell you, it wasn't scary thinking that a child may have been in that balloon, hell no, it was damn frightening to think anyone would believe there was, and wast any resources trying to rescue the child!!!

it is all over ham radio. The balloon is at 7,000 feet and heading east. It is a mylar high altitude balloon. Sorry but the kid will not make it. This sucks and I want to know how he had access to it.

People spend hours arguing on the internet over an empty balloon and the art of using the quote button? Now I have seen everything.

Please, no one eat their own head now in order to prove that there's something I haven't seen yet. (obscure Team America reference)
