Title: WOW! is it round or flat?
Post by: forest_fresh on August 29, 2005, 03:42:10 PM
Hi there, just one question then. If the earth is flat, why have we all been told by people of a higher status, E.G the government, that the earth is round?

Oh, And your the enlighened one?  So then, if we have all been lied to, then we can just forget about the 17 people that died in Apolo 1 and the two shuttles Eh?  We can just forget what the sky looked like when it rained down fire and shrapnel when the first shuttle exploded?  What about the family of the dead?  Can we forget about them?

hubbard! ive met homeless people smarter than you!!!! you cant just fuckign claim that nothing ever exsisted! most conspiricy theorists have half an ounce of proof!!!

thers a million pictures of UFO's, and government documents found to back up the sightings.

there is alot of evidence (though circumstantial, and explainible one way or the other) to say that the moon landing was faked

there are pages and pages of documents talkign about the majestic project, and the  FBI's search for exta terrestrials.  

YOU SiR, HAVENT GOT A SHREAD OF FUCKING EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT, OR THAT THE SHUTTLE PROGRAMS ARE FAKE!! YOU COMPLETE FUCKING DOUCHEBAG!

to be honest i'll agree with hubbard that i don't have any evidence that any of you exist. how do i know you're not just pre-programmed bots running a script to reply every so often?
Title: WOW! is it round or flat?
Post by: Nevyn on September 01, 2005, 09:59:07 AM
OK, if we had a pre programed script to reply every so often, then why would we come up with a diversity of answers?  There is advanced programing yes, but can the programing respond to everything you do, with out become predictable?

you call random insults diversity?

Maybe.  It's better then just "stupid", "dumb", "dumbass", etc., being reapated in a predictable order.

whoa whoa...settle down, we are all human being are we not?

breath in and out, now think, use ur brain not ur ego...

I am serious as well when i ask this, why would the government and conspiracies cover it up, over a trillion dollars has been placed into the earth is round "thoery" (and yes that trillion consists of planes, Nasa, satellites, transport, maps, roads, astronomy, the list goes on!), what is there to gain from all this? WHY would they lie? Whats to gain, from the overwhelming conspiracy?

You should have read some of the other topics.  Like the one saying that the sun is a gaint light bulb that the government turns on and off.  Even back during the greek and roman times....

if Round Earth was truly a conspiracy, then that would mean this "conspiracy" would date back all the way to Greek and Roman times. in other words: utterly impossible.

think about it...some lone archaeologist is digging in Greece and he finds the diary of a ancient-Greek high government official, uncovering the conspiracy of the Round Earth theory that has been going on for thousands of years. he obviously has no reason to keep his mouth shut, so soon: breaking news! the Earth is flat!!!

if the Flat Earth theory is true, then the above scenario should have already happened.

you cannot have a conspiracy going on for that long of a time, with that many people involved, and not have any trace, record, or leak anywhere. it is impossible.

Please excuse my boldness as I have only just recently made my introduction.  I would however like to offer the following postulation.

Even though you can't see it, if it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, sounds like a duck and feels like a duck, it just might be a duck.

I suggest the former.

Johnston...regarding your hypothetical statements regarding the age of the conspiracy and the fact it hasn't been uncovered. Just a minute, you are on a site dedicated to uncovering the conspiracy you poor bastard. Look around you. There is evidence everywhere here and it needs to be passed on and you can help. I have more faith in you than other "round earthers" as at least half of every word you have spelt are correct and if we take the profanities out of your post, it would still make sense.
Title: WOW! is it round or flat?
Post by: Johnston on September 05, 2005, 03:28:57 PM
profanities? where exactly do you see profanity in my posts? and you still haven't specifically counter argued my conspiracy-age argument...you simply stated it was wrong.

Imagine global membership of every supposed self aware creature on this planet subscribing to a corrupt and false viewpoint. It's simple. Its control. The ones who have the most to gain from proving the earth is spherical are the race of people who's continent was apparently discovered by a certain spaniard using techniques proving the earths shape many centuries ago. But I know for a fact he never went there. Thats right. Now a profound question for all those not from the two american continents. Have you ever ACTUALLY been there. 95% are going to answer no if they answer honestly. My next question is, have you seen some of the tv that comes from this supposed place. Yes ponder that thought as your brain has a massive 6th sense style plot reversal.  :shock:

Sorry, that was an obvious attempt at humour, but not obvious enough for a "round earther" with a name synominous with toiletries and the cerebral capability of a warm freshly laid cable.

Im am a physics student and its going to take more than someone merely stating that the earth is flat to convice my my idiea of the world is wrong.

Step up your game. I havent seen one conclusive piece of evidance that the earth is flat. And whenever we give visual conformation of the earth being round you simply say that its been faked or corrupted by the govenment who have no motive to do so. I ask you to prove our evidance is wrong.

if anyone else thought that was "funny", please say so. perhaps you flat earthers define humor much differently than the rest of the world (no pun intended), as you do with the laws of Physics.

first you completely dodge my conspiracy-age argument by mentioning some non-existant "profanity", then you try to cover up your mistake by using "humor" as an excuse. oh yes, your inane logic is quite humorous.

Post by: ZOOBTRON on September 07, 2005, 06:00:38 AM
Not as inane as your stinky responses. They are choking this place up. Your physics understanding is tragically underpinned by your ability with a search engine then capped off by cutting and pasting links to articles written by any old clown. Therfore you are not here with any information that can't be looked up by any 8 year old (or round earther) and is immediately redundant.

Flat_like_a_coin, lets look at logic seeing as you seem to think I am lacking.

ALLEGED: Flat_like_a_coin is a self confessed phyics student.

FACT: He cannot spell simple english words or construct correct grammatical text.

FACT: A high english score is a prerequesite alongside the obvious science subjects to his alleged course.

CONCLUSION: The only object more full of crap than Flat_like_a_coin's head is the contents of a communal bog with a busted flush button.

Zoobtron:

Alleged: Zoobtron is a flat-earther.

Fact: He has not yet used any of the standard flat-earth arguments, but has only offered half-assed attempts to beat Sphericists and their arguments.

Fact: He has resorted to manipulation and ad hominem attacks wherever possible.

Fact: He has supported the idea of a two-thousand-year-old (at least) worldwide conspiracy spanning from Erastothenes to Area 51.

Conclusion: He may well actually be a Flat-Earther (all of the above points being well-recognised methods of debate for anti-scientists such as Flat-Earthers and Creationists). But it's far more likely he's just enjoying venting some wrath here ;)

aye. he refuses to offer any valid evidence to support his arguments and instead cites laws of nature that only exist inside his head. i do not really know much about psychology so he is beyond my repair...i've tried my best to help him.

as for those mentioned debating methods being favorites for Creationists, well...that itself is debatable. ;)

They think that if any govenment politician came out and said the earth was flat they would be laughed out of office, wich does not explain the creation of the cover up.
