Flat Earth Q&A / So I brought this up in school today...

Don't underestimate the power on ignorance though. Your evidence seems incontrovertible to you, but to others it could seem flawed. Plus with the NASA idea thats posted on the FAQ, it states that NASA has incredible photoshopping software, and that your pictures could easily be a hoax.


Anyway, theres nobody in this thread anymore besides you and me. So I'm gonna go leave now.

heh, I have the same opinion as someone 2 years younger than me.

Well, just to be a part of the dabate, I sign on to FE side whenever possible. Don't want to miss this.

Good point about the admin. It seems like this forum is just one huge psycology project then. It's also sort of a game, seems like a really good idea by the admin, though I don't know how he found so many people who actualy believe it.

As for your part in the debate, I think it's kindof wierd to have you argue FE but trying to proove RE, but whatever. I might join FE as well if nobody else does, I'm always open to new ideas.

bads3ctor, you still haven't answered my question as to why you're arguing for the FE side if your against it.

Wait what...I thought you were arguing for the FE side. Or is that just to see your debating skills?

Also Eddie, good point. I agree with you, but you also have to take into account that more than half the threads on here have contradictions with our theory, and regardless of whether you can win or not, it seems like a waste of time to fight over 100 contradictions, just for the sake of being right.

And If this site is a hoax, that would suck. This whole time I've been trying to figure out the psycology of it all.

Sorry Eddie, but you're wrong. I've said this so many times now: This argument can't be won. To prove my point (and sorry if anyone uses this in the debate but...):

- Sun's Energy   (Too much is unknown about the sun, considering the temperature would be impossible to survive in to test anything on it)
- Lunar/solar eclipses  (With the accelaration theory in mind, its possible for the sun/moon to be covered up without the Earth being round)
- Moon Phases (Moon phases are relative to the sun, not the earth. Again, the sun can be obstructed without the shape of the earth)
- constellations (Well....can't think of anything right now. I'll edit this later)  
- Tides and seasons (It's possible for the heat concentration to change even if the Earth is flat. For all we know, the temperature is space changes but because of the vastness, only affects us. Also wind causes tides and wind is affected by heat, as seen in hurricane katrina, so with the previous theory in mind, these prove nothing)

Information is relative, photos would be the best way to go.

Flat Earth Debate / My Trip To The Ice Wall

« on: February 16, 2007, 07:58:28 PM »

Ugh...people are stupid. For future refererence, I'm refering to getting pissed over an argument, not the argument itself. Seriously, what does it bother you if some people believe the Earth is a different shape than you believe it is. If it was an argument with any actual rewards I would understand, but it isn't. It's a simple I'm righ and your wrong argument, and you're all sinking down to the level of 3 graders. Not only that, but making up random theories to mock the opposing side is worse than not saying anything at all. I f you have nothing better to do with your time than act childish, I sugest you go to YouTube where people have arguments over the stupidest things (no offence to YouTubers). Everyone views the world from a different perspective, a murderer is seen as a wrongdoer, but in his eyes it's society that's wrong. If you can't live with that simple fact you shouldn't be involved with any arguments of any kind.

Never underestimate technology. But ya, I think that type of evidence should be sufficient for a debate like this. Plus, It'd be nice not have thousands of people say that a picture is photoshoped. Also, like I said before, both sides have to agree that this is legit evidence. So, if everyone agree's with bads3ctor's idea, post it.

That might work, plus we could probably get someone in the law department to check the vadility of the footage. Though, I don't know if the people here have those sort of connections. Also, another problem is that that would take a while to do, and it would delay the dabate for awhile. Just like in court.

Well, it seems pretty hard to have a debate unless you agree on general terms. For example, using real life examples wouldn't work considering you'd have to assume that your side is right.

I'd join the RE team but it's full, if a space opens up could someone PM me?

Also, who going to moderate this? You need someone nuetral, or at least open to enough ideas.

Flat Earth Q&A / Futile arguments

« on: February 16, 2007, 06:57:14 PM »

First of all Savas, insulting people isn't generaly a good way to convince them that you're right.

 Second of all, I to am a skeptic but I believe that people have a right to express their opinion, considering as how we all percieve reality in different ways. Arguing about whether the Earth is round or flat is about as useless as arguing that there is no God. While some arguments based off science and math have a slight possibility of convincing someone, there's always the inconvenient bar where-in our knowledge gives way to blind faith. I know many people will disagree and say that science has been tested and proven, but really all we've proven is that it works every time we have tried it so far. Just because a cup of water falls downward everytime you try it, doesn't mean theres no possibility of it falling upward. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that the world is flat, or that science is useless, I'm just stating that everything we see is relative.

 Lastly, out of curiosity, I just want to get an idea of why you think the Earth is flat. I'm not looking for mathematical or scientific things, I'm just wondering, what was the catalyst that made you disbelieve public opinion and hundreds of years of scientific progress?

Also, I'm hoping that in this thread there won't be the stupid people who, without thinking of why or how, just blatently call you ignorant. We all live in this world and people have have different opinions, live with it, and use your time for better uses than insulting people who have a different view than you.
