First of all, this isn't a "fake society", you can send off for and buy merchandise, for example.  This isn't an Internet hoax.  And even if this was some giant hoax, why is getting people to argue online such a "douchebag maneuver"?

I can send off and buy merchandise from disney too.  That doesn't mean Eisner believes Mickey is real.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with being a douchebag though, you giant douchebag.

Yes, they are real organization that does what they claim- make things up.

The Flat Earth Society is not real, in the sense that they do not do what they claim- believe the Earth is flat.

Was Aesop not a real person?  Would him believing in his fables make him a real person?  Does perhaps the Descarten phrase "I think therefore I am" have a novel meaning in this sense?  

More impotently however, the belief in a flat earth should have no bearing on the effectiveness of the arguments presented.  They should, as they happen to do, stand on their own merits alone. The sincerity of the arguer should be separate from the truth of their arguments.  After all, a belief is nothing more than a label anyways.  "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

We are real and we do in fact believe in a flat earth.  I invite you to browse further and ask provocative questions.

Flat earth theory does not have to be false.  The point is that nobody believes it; they are just better or worse at pretending.  And the purpose of this site is to lure people into a fictional argument.

Except the whole basis of your argument is based on the idea that nobody believes the Earth is flat. While it is true that the vast majority of the members are RE'ers, there are still a minority including the owner of the site that do believe it is flat. The only argument you have for this is, "Well, some people are just very good at pretending."

Considering you have < 50 posts, I'd say you understand very little about this site and the people in it.

At what point in the definition of society does it say anything about all the members of the Flat Earth Society having to agree with Flat Earth Theory? Name a place in the site where it says you must believe in Flat Earth in order to part of the Flat Earth Society. Do you not understand what a society is? The Flat Earth Society and Flat Earth Theory are two separate entities, just you would not say that the American Guild of Music is not a guild if not everyone agrees with the current Music Theory.

You can debate all you want what "fake society" means, but the point remains that nobody believes in FET, while also maintaining the deception to the general public that many do.

First, its not arguing. It may be to the newfags, but to the people who actually remain on this site or the smarter noobs, its a debate. Two different things.

Second, I'm an FE'er. You can say I'm pretending all you want, but there is nothing in my posts that suggests I am, unless you go back far enough to when I was introduced to the idea. I don't debate, as I don't feel the need to spout random crap that I don't know what I'm talking about when I can just leave it to the rest of the FE'ers to make it an actual debate. I also don't like debating.

The Flat Earth Society is not a fake society. It has been around for a long time.

Yes, WWE's fights are faked, but WWE is not a fake organization.  What I think everyone here is a little confused about is how you made the leap from "Nobody believes in FET" to "FES is a fake society".

Right, just like this isn't a fake website.  But is WWE a fake sport?  You can say Yes or No on that, and you're right depending on how you quibble with the semantics.  I would say Yes, WWE is a fake sport.

Again, the term "fake society" has absolutely 0 to do with this post.  The point is that the purported intention of the society, a valid belief that the earth is flat- is fake.

Also, dongs.

Once again you failed to prove that nobody believe FET.

I think you failed to prove that anybody believes FET.

Believing in FET has nothing at all to do with the reality or legitimacy of the Flat Earth Society.  After all, you don't have to have cancer to join the American Cancer Society,

::)  And if nobody in the American Cancer Society believed in Cancer, what would you say?  Douchebag Maneuver doctors, douchebag maneuver.

That still wouldn't make the society suddenly cease to exist.

Yep.  Pam's silicon titties exist.  Now if doctors at ACS did not believe in cancer, you wouldn't say they didn't exist.  You might however say that ACS is a fake society.  Or you might not.  Thats up to you, all semantic quibbling.

Actually it is quite the opposite. You are yet to prove nobody here does not. They are innocent until proven guilty. They claim to believe in FE, until you can prove that they do not, then it must be accepted that they do.

newton, I have to say (and I'm backed up by 4 pages of responses to your obvious trolling) you're almost as good as we are at arguing something you don't really believe.  Have you considered joining FES?  It seems to be right up your alley.

The FES is a real society by the definition of the word from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/society :

Again, nobody would dispute that Pam Anderson's fake tits are tits....

Words are coming out of your keyboard, but...
They aren't tits.

Dumb noob strikes again.

They are tits. Let me explain.

1 I only put tits in my mouth.
2 I would put Pamela Andersons front junk in my mouth
3 Therfore by 1 and 2 Pamela Andersons front junk is tits



Crusty must have a hard time eating.  Tell me Crusty, how do you get your nutrition?

ORLY?  Aren't I innocent until proven guilty?  I claim that FES is a fake society.  Until you can prove that it is not, then it must be accepted that it is.

Nothing can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, of course, when you stretch reasonable.  That is the nugget at the center of FES.  I can't prove that Mel Gibson is a whack job.  But a reasonable guess is that he is.  A reasonable guess is that FES members are not whack jobs, just fakers of varying ability, and occasional douchebags.

The evidence that you are wrong is the fact that there is zero evidence you are right.
