OK I believe you!Shy my ass. I've got an alien in my back bedroom but he is shy and only lets me see him - but he's 100% real trust me.
You are totally 100% WRONG. The burden of proof lies with the one making the claims - not on the people who don't believe him. Give him the benefit of the doubt? Are you crazy? If I claimed I could fly or turn invisible would you give me the benefit of the doubt? You can't prove that I can't fly or can't become invisible so it must be true right?
What is wrong with you people, seriously? Are you really that uneducated? Or you just need to believe that bad? How about if I told you that I was God's only true son - oh and I am God as well at the same time. Believe me then? (Probably which is scary).
I could really care less about Jonah's penis but I'm sick and tired of seeing this keep coming back up time and time again and then people like you saying since he made the claim so it must be true. Bullshit.
He created a nice little story, played up a good PR angle and has run with it. Well done.
But nowhere EVER has he shown anything that even comes close to his claim size-wise. Not one picture or video clip or anything. Zero. And don't give me this crap about him being shy or not wanting to show it - HE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE DAMN STORY AND STILL PUSHING IT AROUND THE WORLD. Shy my ass. I've got an alien in my back bedroom but he is shy and only lets me see him - but he's 100% real trust me.
The fact that after fifteen or so years or whatever it's been and there is still no proof of his claims - that speaks volumes doesn't it? Hell you can find private nude pics of Scarlett Johansson that she took herself on her cell phone with two clicks but there isn't a shred of photographic proof of a guy claiming to have the biggest cock in the world? Come on.
I <3 Jonah Falcon`s threads!!!! I never get enough of them!![]()
He's been on t.v. where he's pretty much proved it too.
With the greatest of respect, I couldn't disagree more. If Jonah claims to have a penis that's 9.5 inches long flaccid and 13.5 inches long fully erect, you must respect that unless you can prove otherwise. As it is, you can't prove anything to the contrary and, to put it bluntly, you've no business calling him a liar if you're unable to prove those statistics to be false.
He has absolutely not "basically proved it on TV". Quite the opposite actually. Feel free to believe whatever you want about his size, but on all the TV shows he's been on he's never showed or proved anything at all. FACT. Including the HBO show where he really first gained exposure. This is the same documentary that really did it's homework and did a whole segment on a man who claimed to have a micropenis - and it turned out that the guy was a professional hoax artist and was nothing that he claimed. Of course they didn't realize this since they didn't ask for proof and he was the key interview subject for the show. And it wasn't until long after the show first aired that the hoax artist was revealed....real good due diligence guys.
Do you think it was any different with the work they did on the guy who claims to have the biggest penis than what they did with the guy who claims to have the smallest? No. I know for a fact they didn't. He just said he had a 13.5 inch penis and walked around with a flaccid penis for the shoot and that was it. And not a 9.5 flaccid penis at that.
The only other show where he "showed" anything was a swedish show (I believe it was swedish- but I have seen the footage as have many other people out here) where he quickly whipped out a very average looking flaccid penis.
Again - it's not my burden to prove he's lying. He is the one who made the claims and therefore he is the one who has to prove that what he is saying is indeed true - not the other way around. Why are people having a hard time understanding this concept?
And of course people should feel free to call someone a liar if they make wild claims and then offer no proof. What else would you have them do - just believe in fairy tales too?
Is no one here familiar with the scientific method? I can't believe people are still just taking this guy at his word again and again. He may very well have what he says but he hasn't proved it ever and the only few glimpses he has shown don't back up his claims at all. What would a rational person then choose to believe? Believe that this person is telling the truth with zero to prove it - even when what little evidence there is seems to prove the exact opposite --- or that someone is telling Porky Pies?
Honestly I really could care less about this whole thing -- he can have a 30 inch cock for all I care -- I'm just amazed when people keep perpetuating this urban legend with zero proof. Are you really this gullible?
P.T. Barnum was indeed correct.
However it's a matter of common courtesy, at least on my side of the pond, to assume that people are being truthful unless there are good reasons for supposing otherwise. This Englishman finds your stance distasteful to say the very least.
How is my stance distasteful? Just asking for a little proof of someone's wild claim is now considered rude? (And for the record - I never demanded proof I just pointed out the fact that there has never been anything remotely resembling "proof" of his supposed claims to help lay the truth of the actual situation out for people reading this thread)
And by the way, this American finds your stance extremely harmful and dangerous. Just believe whatever anyone says no matter how outlandish with zero proof of said claim? That's your stance? That is extremely foolish and dangerous.
And "good reasons for supposing otherwise"? How about the fact that this guy has made a mini career out of his unsupported claim and has a financial interest in it remaining. Not to mention the publicity and attention. Decent enough reasons for calling the validity of his claims into question?
Do you advocate the same stance when it comes to "psychics" who contact the recently departed (for a fee of course) for grieving people? We should just believe them as well? Is that your stance? I can't prove they aren't talking to the dead of course (can't prove a negative) - but again - it's not my job to prove that - it's theirs. They have to prove that they are talking to "the other side" - or that they have special powers etc.
The burden of proof lies on them not on the skeptics. Just as it does in this situation. There is no argument on where the burden of proof lies - it is theirs just as it is his. i don't have to prove that he doesn't have said penis size - he has to proof that he does - END OF STORY. There can be no dispute there. NONE. If you can't comprehend this very basic logic, then you are already lost.
How about Jim Jones? Can't prove that he wasn't being personally instructed by God - so better take him at his word. Ok sure -- pass the Kool-Aid.
I think you really need to read some of Michael Shermer's work. I'd start with Why Smart People Believe Weird Things.
I've spent a lot of time in the UK and I'm sure most "Englishmen" aren't this naive or obtuse. Although I guess it would explain Chamberlain. I'll bet you were right on board with "Peace in our time!".
Hitler gave his word right?
Wow.
Anyway -- I'm done.
Here endeth the lesson.
What are your thoughts...
If he was really intent on making big bucks it would be easy for him to do that.
