Title: Just a few reasons on why I don't understand this Flat Earth suggestion...
Post by: El_Haroldo on December 24, 2009, 01:30:42 AM
Hi, new here. As it seems, you guys may have had answered many other ideas on others disbelief so whether you've heard this before or whether these are stupid or relatively easily answered questions, I am oblivious to. Nevertheless, here they are:

1: Firstly, how do compasses work?
2: What's the deal with Antartica being an ice wall. It has a hard enough time being ice, let alone a wall of it.
3: Furthermore, what's your position on Global Warming?
4: What purpose would convincing the world that it is a sphere when it wouldn't be, for anyone?
5: And lastly, why is it when I use Google Earth that it works perfectly fine, whilst still depicting Earth in a spherical model?

You could try to read their FAQ, but ultimatly the flat earth theory is a conspiracy theory, much like the 9 11 was a us self attack theory.
If you can't beleive in their conspiracy theory, you can't beleive in their flat earth models as they violate physics and everything nasa has discovered, the moon landing etc, and the FAQ is senseless.

1. Magnetic lines
2. There is no question there.  Its ice, its a wall.
3. Global Warming is another conspiracy concocted by the government to get more money and make our lives miserable.  Problem is, this one isn't working so well.
4. Profit
5. CGI

4. Profit

Could you please elaborate? Who is profiting from this? How does this someone make a profit on convincing everyone that the earth is round?

The idea is that NASA gets massive funding for space programs and the like, and spends a fraction faking everything, and pocketing the rest.

EDIT:  I'm RE, just filling in what I've seen on this site.

1. Magnetic lines

Actually, magnetic lines wouldn't make sense in FE.  Magnets are dipoles which means that they have one N end and one S end.  The FE puts the North end in the center of the earth, but the South end just wraps around the bottom.  No magnet works like that.

Yeah and NASA are the only space agency of course and commercial companies never pay for satellites either, GPS is part of the conspiracy too and actully beams out from the top of the empire state building.

You forgot to mention the broadcast towers and pseudolites (neither of which have been observed).
