Ok, first I have to say that English isn't my mother tongue, so there probably will be some mistakes - please just ignore them (hey, you're good in that!).
I can really imagine that some people here believe that the erath is flat - I mean people believe all sort of things! They believe in god (which is less stupid than to believe in a flat earth, but still totally causeless), the devil or santa clause (which is not more stupid than to believe in a flat earth).
And I have to say that I do not BELIEVE in a round earth, because I don't have to. I know that the earth is round. It isn't a theory. It's the truth. You don't seem to like that. People also didn't want to believe in evolution (which you also don't have to believe in, IT'S A FACT), that the earth orbits around the sun and so on.
But face it: The earth is not the center of something! The sun is bigger than us! The whole universe is there and we are just some tiny little creatures - but at least we are able to decide. You decided to be ignorant, stupid and a laugh - but THAT is what makes humans special.
How comes that the way from the "left side" to the "right side" of your so-called earth is so short? How can you fly there? People don't have to fly over the whole world, they are there in minutes.
And why is your theory an american-theory? Why the ice-wall should be where you think it is? Just because you little freaks never where there? I've got a tip: Stop hanging around in front of your computer and start to travel! You will EXPERIENCE that the earth can not be flat... And which government takes care of the ice-wall? The North American? Yeah, sure... And you are not the only country who ever flew to the moon and so on. Look at the rest of the world. This would be enough to proof that the earth is a BALL (yeah, not round, A BALL).
But what should you expect from 'creationists'? How can you really believe that god made all beings? How comes that creatures develop, change and die out? And then new ones come? And how can it be that in some states you really do not teach "evolution theory"? It is not like it is a theory. There isn't the question "god" or "Darwin". There is the question: Reasonable, proved science our children should be taught or a random believe without any foundation?
Sorry, but thinks like that make people in other countries think that Americans aren't the brightest... Of course there are crazy people in my country, too. But they are few and when we see them with laugh and point at them...you know what I mean. I get the impression that the people who believe in "creation" or a "flat earth" or or or aren't a tiny little minority in America. And that makes me think that there must be something gone totally wring in your country. Perhaps you need your own Age of Enlightenment and some real revolutions. Perhaps the whole thing went too fast for America. But you don't have the time. Our world hasn't got the time. Even if it would be flat...we are destroying it. We are being awful to it and to ourselves. Grow up and change something. Throw away your atom bombs, stop wasting the ressources, stop things like death penalty and torture. There are so many things you could do - why do you have to try to proof something which is proved wring since hundreds of years???
Of course you CAN believe in god. This isn't that stupid. If you aren't fanatic I won't stop you from doing it. But remember: Saying that god exists is the same if I would say that...a pink bunny made the whole universe and tells us what to do. And saying that the earth is flat is the same as to say it is...shaped like a donut.
Why don't you just ravel to your ice-wall? Or fly into the space? Or just take a flight from a place you think is on one edge to a place you think is on a opposite edge? Afraid?
