Default Round the world


"Wilbur Hubbard" opined:
You are claiming that the Great Salt Lake, the Caspian Sea, Qinghai Lake
and other endorheic bodies of water all have waters that flow to the sea?



Don't know about those others, but Salt Lake used to flow to the ocean. Or
did you miss that geology class in school. I imagine if the elevation rises
enough it'll once again flow to the ocean.

For someone who revels in the past, how'd you miss that? Clearly some
prehistoric sofa sailor navigated the rivers to what used to be known as the
Bonneville Lake. And you'da been proud that they paddled or sailed their
craft, nary a motor to be found back then, portaged it when necessary.

But since you claim that the Great Salt Lake doesn't flow to the ocean, then
please explain why, or what, the U.S. Department of the Interior's function
is with respect to the Great Salt Lake?

You said "Waters that connect to the oceans are considered navigatible.
Navigatable waters come under FEDERAL perview."

And then you claim that the Great Salt Lake doesn't connect to the ocean.
Yet here we are. A Federal agency having, what term did you use?, oh yeah,
"perview" (it's purview and navigable, but who's counting) over the lake.
How'd that happen.

You should check your logic, or check to see if you have logic. Check your
spelling too.

You, who obviously have no logic, accusing me of the same is ludicrous.

You made the STUPID claim, and I quote, "All waters flow to the ocean. Or did
you flunk out of physics."

I then listed three bodies of water off the top of my head that do not flow to
the ocean and I linked to a website that listed the top ten of the many waters
that don't flow to the ocean. You ignored the facts and went off on a tangent
with spelling lames and possible flowing to the ocean "in the future." Yah
right! What don't you get about your dumbass statement, "All waters flow to
the ocean," being a present tense statement?
