Pamela L Peterson says
I’m trying to locate a globe that could be used with very young children as they learn about the biomes of the world. I think an inflatable globe would be best for pre-schoolers. Do you have or know of any such product? Thank you. Pam Peterson
Arthur Patterson says
How come every globe that I have seen has a disclaimer that says that “globes” are for “decorative purposes only, not educational purposes”? Can you tell me why? I thought that globes are based upon real evidence. And since there is a disclaimer, it would seem to me that it’s based upon not real facts. Have I been lied to? If I don’t get an answer that is logical, not some good wording, then I will take it as your website it spreading lies.
Duncan says
Because they’re for kids. Children.
If you want educational globes, there’s a *heap* to choose from. Have you heard of Google!!!
You’re on the wrong page/site Arthur!
Let me guess – you’re a Flat Earther.
Sue says
You’re very rude, shame on you.
mP says
Maybe because some places take things to seriously and secondly because countries change all the time, new ones appear and borders change.
Roger says
Sue has a good question. Duncan, please don’t attack people just because they have a different way of thinking than you do. Great information btw!
Freddie says
I think we should turn these designs into reality, space I think we should look at it to the state back.Space and really push these parents forward to a better humanity in a better world so I think that we should appreciate the clothing line is they were pushing and must’ve replied no, and we should move forward to for every an Amana shows that they collected they should be able to turn it in for actual puppy or actual design and with that they really are from tearing.Why number 17 reality is that it is punctuality everybody can have a design T-shirt and who doesn’t know these days I mean people have Jordan on their necks for god sakes.
