My claim was that it went out of circulation a couple hundred years ago, as the history books tell me that that is the case.
Why dont you present the evidence for your claim that we knew this for thousands of years? you could get a nobel prize.

No, I merely quoted the "accepted" and "official" wisdom on the matter.

this regarding the earth being flat.
The "flat" earth has never been the "official" wisdom.
Greeks determined it was round some time about 600BC, it was definitively proved by a chap checking shadows down wells about 200BC AFAIK - and his measurements were pretty good considering!
There is a modern perception that is "accepted" that the ancients thought the earth was flat - but that is a myth - although it is a popular trope to beat some people with!!
All OT of course, but hopefully a little educational!
The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.[1]
During the 19th century, the Romantic conception of a European "Dark Age" gave much more prominence to the Flat Earth model than it ever possessed historically.
In 1945 the Historical Association listed "Columbus and the Flat Earth Conception" second of twenty in its first-published pamphlet on common errors in history.[7]
This belief is even repeated in some widely read textbooks. Previous editions of Thomas Bailey's The American Pageant stated that "The superstitious sailors [of Columbus' crew] ... grew increasingly mutinous...because they were fearful of sailing over the edge of the world"; however, no such historical account is known.[116] Actually, sailors were probably among the first to know of the curvature of Earth from everyday observations, for example seeing how mountains vanish below the horizon on sailing far from shore.

Well, you see, on that score we aren't that far apart at all. I've often said (and I'm sorry that I wasn't in the mood to offer more challenging posts this time around, but I do get fed up of repetition and lack the patience of some others) that the *only* point I will dig my heels in and argue against are the claims that aircraft contrails are a deliberate spraying operation, or at least peoples certainty of it. The rest of it I am open to, but silliness like that just flabbers my ghast.
Incidentally, I too was taught in school about the flat Earth being believed in Columbus time, it just goes to show the importance of looking at all sources and not clinging to a preconceived idea.
Ciao baby.
Before jumping into this thread(and the subject for that matter), I honestly didnt know where it was going to take me, although I did assume some credibility to the theory.
I picked my side and stuck with it.
One thing this thread has taught me more than any other is to be thorough when looking at all sources.
I tried very hard to fight the case for chemtrails, but the evidence kept coming up short.
Im really glad that Im not the only one that was taught about a flat earth being believed up till Columbus' era.
And I can also understand the frustrations of the guys that have to repeatedly debunk the same evidence, over and over and over again. You guys have more patience than me. Which initially lead to my assumptions of paid shills, I cant imagine anyone doing this out of "love" for the subject.
Keep up the good work. The truth will out.

BUT..... I still believe that covert GE testing is taking place. I just cannot prove it.
The field is far too advanced and researched for it not to be IMHO.
I would like to thank both Aloysius and Network Dude for the strength of their arguments.
I found you two to be most challenging to my position, for that I am grateful.
Maybe we can debate some more credible evidence in the future.

They are blocking off the sun as they are spraying predominantly
in the southern aspect of the sky.
Stop being so self-centred, maybe they're blocking off the Northern sky for someone else.
Ummm, where is 'your' sun located in the sky just after midday mrthumpy?
Where would those trails be to someone standing 100 miles to your south? Think about it.
It is a localised effort. Their area is being sprayed also.
Is the midday sun in the northern sky for them? Think about it.
I see them right now laying trail after trail in front of the sun.
They are ruining what would otherwise have been a beautiful day,
necessary evil or not.edit on 19-11-2013 by OneFreeMan because: (no reason given)
No the sun isn't in their northern sky but the trails you're seeing to your south would be. Therefore the trails are only blocking the sun from where you are not from where they are. Someone standing 100 miles to your north wouldn't see the trails at all.

This has got to be a wind up. Even despite everything else you've posted, I would say that you CAN NOT be so stupid as to type this as a serious idea.
Surely to god, you at least have the brains to understand why that cannot be?
If I am wrong, and you aren't actually mocking the board with deliberate silliness, I would like to sell you some vinegar.edit on 19-11-2013 by waynos because: (no reason given)

So how is this a hoax?
The same way sandyhook conspiracy is a ludicrous online lie, I suppose!
Chemtrails are a reality ...
and what the guy said, with permission
to film or not, is true.
There are No grounds for calling the whole thread a hoax,
and it is a shame and disgrace.

So how is this a hoax?
it was founded on no evidence in 1998 or 1999.
The same way sandyhook conspiracy is a ludicrous online lie, I suppose!
Yep.
Chemtrails are a reality ...
without a shred of verifiable evidence...
and what the guy said, with permission
to film or not, is true.
Indeed it is - and what did he ACTUALLY say about chemtrails??
Her's eth section from the transcript where chemtrails are mentioned:
Hans: Okay, just a question, do you know what is a chemtrail?
Pilot: what?
Hans: A chemtrail
Pilot: I do know what a chemtrail is
Hans: Yeah, and is it true?
Pilot: Well, er, there's a big debate
That's it - there's a debate.
somehow chemise have turned that into the pilot saying chemtrails exist or are a necessary evil.
What does he actualy say is a necessary evil??
Hans: Okay (turns camera away), but, do you believe it ... (inaudible)
Pilot: Um, well, I don't have enough information ... (inaudible) [pilot says he does not have enough information to "believe"]
Hans: Oh okay, because I saw a lot of videos on the internet, and it really looks, ah, believable.
Pilot: Well, it's arguable both ways I think [pilot says it is possible, and possible not]
Hans: Yeah?
Pilot: Depends on which side you're on, but [pilot says people have fixed opinions]
Hans: Yeah, but what is your personal opinion of it?
Pilot: I think that there is part of truth. [pilot says there is PART truth - videographer does not ask the obvious question - WHICH PART TRUTH]
Hans: Part of truth, yeah. Yeah, we should investigate, because when it's true imagine so many people they suffer, of this.
Pilot: Yeah, it's a, necessary evil, as you could say. [Pilot says something is a necessary evil] - last mention of chemtrails was ages ago - since then have talked about opinions, truths, part truths, youtube, personal opinions - but apparently the "necessary evil can only refer to chemtrails last mentioned 16 comments ago - and that is supposed to be conclusive]
There are No grounds for calling the whole thread a hoax,
and it is a shame and disgrace.
the shame and disgrace is that people keep pushing this hoax without any verifiable evidence.edit on 19-11-2013 by Aloysius the Gaul because: tags
