Most of the posts on this site are a flat/spherical discussion, and this can be quite disorienting, so I think we should all move the discussion to one central thread, preferably this one!
Okay, so the first posts should contain all the facts and evience for the Yes and No teams. Then we can all dissect and deconstruct them.
PS: I also posted a quick poll that's completely unrelated to anything. :D

what topic?
-
i used topic in place of thread, sorry - mistake corrected.
Speaking for the Sphere camp, I present Exhibit A. (Even though this one would have a hard time being stored in a small plastic container :D)

Why have you posted a picture of a skin flake on a microscope slide?

Ehm... no, actually thats the continent of Antarctica. You can see South America, Africa, and Australia in this picture. You can even see the night lights in Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne in Australia, and Johanesberg in South Africa. Plus a lot of South American cities. Don't you think this appears to be more than a coincidence?
I have yet to see a skin-flake that shows the South Pole so precisely.
But then again - it might all be a conspiracy by the Girl Scout Association of America.... I think they're after me...
:D

Ehm, dude, it was supposed to be a joke. Apparently in Australia they don't teach irony or street smarts, do they :- )

You never know on the flat-earthers forums. Someone even said that that in the centre of the Earthdisc, there is a giant volcano that the Earth spewed out from... :D
Interestingly enough, according to the Flat-Earthers map, this volcano would be located precisely at north-pole. Wouldn't the Scandinavians, Russians and Canadians have noticed a giant volcano by now?
Oh, and all the flatlings should go to that Scott-Armstong base located at the north pole. This base which is a couple of kays squared, should be thousands of miles long, and 150-feet high. That'd make scientific research at the base interesting, wouldn't it?

Serious or not, this entire forum is one giant joke and anybody wasting 1 nanosecond in trying to debate in serious or scientific terms I consider a moron. Period.
Try to have a good laugh, practice sarcasm, try to read between the lines, etc. That is fun, but debating and really meaning it only makes you look foolish, for chrisakes. Its like trying to debate with a terrorist that killing is wrong.

That's why we have hostage-negotiators.
If you saw a women in a supermarket, blabbing on that the universe is geocentric, and that the girl-scouts are out to get her, wouldn't you at least try, to help? Sure, some slackos would try avoid her, but most of us would try to help.

In your dreams matey, in your dreams!
Come to think of it why would the American one's be after you and not your own down under ones?

In my dreams? WHO TOLD YO... I mean, of course not...

It's a part of their consipracy..... there IS no Australia! What we know as Australia is actually a lower suburb in San Franciso area.
Australia? I've never really believed it exists anyway...
Sure, just because it's been photographed by stellites, and I live there, doesn't necessarily mean it exists.
:D

I live in a boot

What you are making fun of the vulcano.
You better watch out for the splintergroups.
Dont fuck with a vulcano

Volacnos?
What are these volcanos you speak of?
There are no volcanos! Volcanos are just a myth!!!

No vulcanos?
And what do you call these mountains where smoke comes out from?

Chimneys :D
-
no chimneys are mostly towershaped made of brick and they build houses underneath them.
Vulcanos are zit-shaped and made out of (flat) earth.

Like usual, you're wrong. People tend to build chimneys on top of their houses, not build house around chimneys. And volcanoes are not made out of flat earth, they are actually more mountain shape. Also volcanoes tend to occur around the edges of continental plates.
Now explain this to me. You say there is a volcano in the middle of the Earth Disc. Volcanoes occur on the edges of continental plates. Thereby implying that in your distorted view of the world, plate tectonics still plays a significant role. But if the continental plates can shift freely on a large flat surface, what is keeping them from falling of the edges?

The Periodic Table of Elements!!! Duh!

So thats what its used for.....

It proves that it exists - what more is needed?

Round,
It would be nice to prove the earth is round with a simple image, but the image of Antarctica you have presented is not very solid.
Don't get me wrong, I also believe the earth is round, but there are some flaws in your argument.
The image you have shown is from http: //www.coolantarctica.com/ . On that page itself it notes that it is a "Composite image". It's also very easy to see that it is not a natural true image as one: there are no clouds and two: the entire southern hemisphere is enveloped in night. The first point being extremely rare and the second point reaching impossibility.
The reason I am picking apart your evidence is because it is already very easy to say it is a mostly falsified image, so it's just as easy for someone to say it is a completely false image.
You need to have a stronger argument.
-
Well let's see whether this image is false. (Just like the myth of Australia)
(http://img2.uploadimages.net/053223aun.GIF)
It's got clouds (shown by the arrows) and both night and day.

This is where we were 2 years ago. I have a very good guess where we will be in 2 more years.

Why, at this rate, we'll never reach a consensus! :o :o :o :o :o

That's the design.
