What makes me laugh is they are usually the ones who talk about how incompetent our country is, but were apparently competent enough to keep giant world destroying secrets. *cough* water gate *cough*
[QUOTE=Mikenopa;50919608]Kansas. He also doesn't believe in evolution.[/QUOTE] I'm from Kansas and I had no idea he was a flat earther LOL I knew he was bad but wow
[QUOTE=Zeos;50919805]I always enjoy the fact that most of these theories have to assume that every person who's ever flown a plane, anyone who has been in a tall building, anyone who has climbed a mountain... or anyone who has ever been in a body of water bigger than a pool, are all in on some conspiracy for no reason[/QUOTE] The biggest rule I have on making shit up: If you can't explain why the conspiracy exists in the first place you need to piss off The first thing you should be able to explain is [U]WHY[/U] it's happened
[QUOTE=ntzu;50919688]By the time starlight reaches us, the stars that produced it are most likely dead by that point. So they're technically true, most of the stars in the night sky don't exist (anymore)![/QUOTE] Stars last for billions of years. The sun has a lifespan of about 10 billion years in its current spectral class, and it's only been 4 billion years. White dwarfs last almost forever. That saying is only true for mindbogglingly distant galaxies, which you can't even see with the naked eye anyway, and even on the most powerful telescope are little more than a smattering of pixels. MACS0647-JD at 13 billion lightyears away is likely still existent, just with a high portion of white dwarf stars.
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;50919788]What I don't get is why they think it is all a huge conspiracy. What could we possibly gain from "fooling" people into thinking the Earth is round?[/QUOTE] I suppose it's soothing in a way to believe in absurd conspiracy theories. It's a scary fact to face that truly nobody is "in charge".
I never understood flat-earhters, just look outside the window, there's a horizon ffs
I'm not entirely unconvinced the whole flat earth movement is just shitposting taken to the next level. Like the WBC they're just trying to get scientists to finally lose their shit and smack them with a bag full of textbooks, so they have an excuse to sue and rack up cash. At least I hope so. [QUOTE=Coyoteze;50919413]Wouldn't work. They'd think it's all smoke and mirrors.[/QUOTE] I think his plan is less "make them see with their own eyes" and more "make sure they don't survive re-entry".
[QUOTE=Spor;50919285]I love long documentaries, especially if they're completely nonsensical. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhRiLP32qfs[/media] It has some very compelling arguments! :downs: [img]http://i.imgur.com/WnYhq0f.png[/img][/QUOTE] well that does it, i am completely sold that the earth is flat. joke's on all you non-believers.
[QUOTE=Fort83;50919443]For someone to make a 6 hour video about them being delusional, they have way too much time on their hands.[/QUOTE] some idiot made a ten hour documentary about how hitler did nothing wrong with extreme mental gymnastics he also made another lengthy documentary how commnists run hollywood and we are all being turned into degenerate gay transexuals by media people are determined to spread misinformation, i mean, look at Alex Jones
to be fair, jones is purposely as ridiculous as he can be, because he knows it makes him money.

So they're technically true, most of the stars in the night sky don't exist (anymore)![/QUOTE] *only applicable outside a distance of 13 billion light years (conservative estimate) Most of the stars we can see in the sky with our eyes are in the milky way, which is about 100,000 light years across, which means that unless its a really high mass star by the time the light gets here its still alive.
[QUOTE=ProgramFiles;50919557]They'll think the windows are all monitors and try to leave the spacecraft.[/QUOTE] I actually joined the flat earth forum a year or so back to ask this very question. I asked what would happen if NASA put you guys in a rocket and sent you up to space, with a big window in the cabin so you can see the earth being round, and if the guys had a hammer with them. once seeing that the earth was round from space, would they smash the window to prove it was all false or would they believe it? the response was basically "well, obviously they will use monitors (completely discounting the fact that they would feel themselves accelerating upward) and that the entire 'cabin' was in a vacuum chamber, so if they broke the window/monitor, they would suffocate and die"
the critical flaw in the flat earth theory is that it assumes the government can keep a secret

dumbass flat earthers, why can't they just accept we're on the inside of a sphere. [editline]20th August 2016[/editline] stars are so obviously just distant cities, and i can't believe anyone could fall for the sun and moon not being holograms projected by the reptilians whom live on the surface.

A good starting point would be our FAQ: [url]http://faq.tfes.org/[/url][/QUOTE] Went to the FE board once (different forum) way back when, it was like pissing in headwind.
Like I personally have flown around the world multiple times. I have with my own eyes, seen the curvature of the earth. I have been sky diving, you can, with your own eyes, see the curvature of the earth. Swiket, if you're serious, there's not a lot anyone will discuss with you too seriously because of how obvious it is it isn't true. I read your FAQ, you guys go off of "Empirical" observations based on your own senses. I have said the above to FE'ers and had my own senses and empirical observations discounted by them, so I have serious reservations about the validity of your method of determining "Empirical".
[QUOTE=Mikenopa;50919608]Kansas. He also doesn't believe in evolution.[/QUOTE] to be fair, kansas is fucking flat
What I think is pretty scary is that people seem to be mistaking science for some kind of 'religion': "Uh.. What? You have plenty of proof, the majority of it is made throughout the history of science and your arguments are covered in logic that the earth is a sphere? Guess what, I still [B]believe [/B]the earth is flat." Reminds me of that nutcase Mehran Keshe who's selling people useless garbage (i.e. Magrav) with the promise for "infinite energy". They also have their own little special snowflake community.
The existence of the "[URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_route]Polar Route[/URL]" fully debunks any flat-Earth bullshit about there being a border of ice around the earth anyway [t]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/PolarRoute.png/1920px-PolarRoute.png[/t] If anybody thinks the earth is flat then they are genuinely, irredeemably retarded. It's actually less crazy to believe that all flat-earthers are just trolling everyone than it is to believe the Earth is flat.
[QUOTE=WJS;50919308]Do they not realise that you have to be REALLY high up to notice any amount of curvature?[/QUOTE] It's funny that the flat Earth theory can be disproved by (among many other things..) looking out of a window in a really tall building. Imagine spending half a day watching a single flat Earth documentary.
