So what do they think happens if you go to the edge? Why do they think there is no photographic or video evidence of the edge of the earth? That's really all there is to it. I don't care about the curvature of the earth or any of that. I just know that nobody has ever found the edge. That's all the proof you'd really need.
In my limited interactions with persons who have some FE belief, their answer is always the same- "Pictures can be faked. Show it to me!"
I'm a little short on the cash required to contact the Russians and book passage for two to the International Space Station. Get back to me next week.
They believe there is a HUGE ice wall. Seriously.

They also believe that gravity is generated by the flat earth continually accelerating. Some one on the forums actually did the math on how fast the earth would be going after all this time and it was a staggering number.

Either way, the Earth is round, not flat, I keep telling them that but they don't seem to ever listen and call me a globe lover lol.

are you SERIOUSLY holding him up as your " credible " flat earth proponent
uf so - give up now

I've been looking a lot into ideas of flat earth and while some claims make absolutly no sense, others actually are quite compelling and really makes you wonder.
-Gravity is a failed theory
Good arguments for flat earth :
-Flight paths
-NASA lies
-Regulated Antarctica
-Flat horizon
-Gravity is a failed theory

nasa ??? the only contribution nasa has made to the issue is demonstrate the 50km difference between the polar diameter and equitorial diameter [ prior to the space age the concensus was that earth was a perfect sphere of 12000 km diameter ]

nothing about the " regulation " of antarctica - which has only been inforce since the 1860s - supports the flat earth claim

thats bob - bob is a retard - bob thinks the horizon should be curved - so i gave him a curved horizon
Yes I did and at that distance, the curve of the earth would look nothing like that anyway.
originally posted by: ignorant_apethe 2 cities behind bob are apparently 16 miles apart - now exreapolate that horizon

If anyone truly thinks there is a conspiration to fake the shape of the earth I propose you to do the following.
Travel in this order, get a good time keeping device, spend a few days in each place, enjoy the food and so on.
Travel to Los Angeles in the first steep, go to a place you can see the sky and seek for the easiest constellation, ursa minor (the only constellation I can ID) once you know it as the palm of your hand proceed to Miami.
From Miami go to some European country, drink some wine, never forget to find ursa minor...
Then go to cape town, any place of Australia and finally I heard Santiago de chile is a nice city.
Now the time keeper piece... Time every flight you take
If you do this a few things will come out of it, first congrats!!! You traveled around the world only going east.
2. Did you see ursa in all the places? Polaris won't be seen from the southern hemisphere.
3. How long were those flights? Try to correlate times to distances and see how you can fit them in the flat earth map of your choice.
If after doing this you still think earth is flat I may want what you are taking, must be strokg #
