Title: I'm on the fence, convince me!
Post by: ps1 hagrid on June 11, 2018, 05:15:02 AM
Hey, I'm new to this forum and The Flat Earth in general.
I am currently on the fence about the flat earth but leaning more to the flat earth side, do your best to convince me!  :D

The earth is round. Do you float above the ground, yes or no. If you chose yes, gravity is pulling the earth’s mass into a spheroid shape. Anyways, why would the government lie about the earth’s shape? What do they get?

These are some very sloppy rhymes.  If you want to defeat the flat earth you're really going to need to improve your flow.

I totally float above the earth.

Wow, rudeness and silliness. 
Spend some time examining the claims of round earthers.  Try to find whatever their "proof" is that did not come from the government.  (Government runs education in almost all countries, and almost all space agencies.  Governments are secretive and dishonorable, you should not trust the government.
Think about what actually makes sense and can be believed.  I would say that there is near to zero information or evidence out there that was not provided in some way by the government.
If you still believe in a round earth, there may be nothing that can be done to convince you of the truth.

Get your laszy ass up the couch and do the work yourself!
Pathetic, that's what this thread is.

Well it's a good thing I'm not floating. Thanks for answering that question for me!

I was floating last night, but today, I am just trying to sleep it off.

If the round earth is to be believed, I am hanging upside down. When I drop a ball, it falls 'up'. FFS how ludicrous is that?

The direction directly opposing the force that pulls us toward the surface of the Earth.

But challenging me to define the term you used isn't very helpful. I'm interested in the way you used the word.

Okay, lets say the Earth is a globe and your standing on the North Pole. Your cone head points 'up'. I am standing on the south pole and I have a ball. I drop it and it falls in the direction your conehead is pointing.

That checks out with my definition of down. Do you define down differently?

Down is falling away from your cone head.

Down is relative, just like the people boydster dates.

Well that creates an awful lot of problems every time I move. Or lie down.

My cone is powerful. Don't get me wrong. But it's not that powerful.

Sounds like something a globetard would say

just like the people boydster dates.
Well in that context I cant argue with that logic

Which way is up, relative to the surface of the Earth? My definition left all this complexity out. Up is toward the sky. Stuff falls down.

Is Shifter a John O alt?  :o

'Relative' the 'go to' word of roundies when they want to sound smart but have no idea what they are talking about

Who the hell is John O?

You and jroa apparently want to get into the direction "down" being relative. You, to my cone. Him, to the surface. Why do you want to introduce such complexity? Up is toward the sky, down is the direction things fall. No?

You are arguing that my 'sky' is beneath your feet. You are dumb  :o

Okay so basically the earth isn't flat. End of story.
