Flat Earth Debate / Re: How you can know for sure Earth is round and concave!

Sculelos - Are you saying that it's your belief that the clouds do not follow the general contour of whichever shape Earth you're talking about, whether it be concave or convex? They travel in a straight line? I must agree that you do not make sense. Also, I thought this was the Flat Earth Society. You subscribe to the concave, inner Earth belief? This place is even more crazy than I thought.

there are some concave craters, valleys, etc... no?

btw, please learn the word "than"

I was going uphill at the time but the clouds were still moving higher faster then I was. And lol no, Ijusthadto the pictures aren't fake, I took them myself matter of fact. I was travelling straight and the clouds were on my 1:30 position moving to my 3 position. The clouds indeed did go higher in the sky the more parellel I was and the closer (higher) clouds went higher faster then the farther (lower clouds). I think this is only possible if the Earth is curved. I think it means there is a upward curvature as if there is an upward curvature that means that if the clouds are anything other then parallel they will actually be even farther away from you which would make them appear lower in the sky cause remember farther clouds are lower clouds.

Edit: And no the hill didn't have anything to do with the experiment I repeated it going downhill and the results were still the same as going uphill, in both cases the closer clouds rose more then the farther clouds even when going both downhill and uphill. If the clouds seem to rise going from your 1:30 to 3 o'clock positions then that is going to make me thing the Earth curves upward because that means the clouds are getting closer to me when they are getting more parallel to me even though the clouds were running to the side of me and I wasn't increasing nor decreasing in my distance to or from the clouds as I was only running parallel to the clouds themselves.

I guess my "concave" comment went over your head, like the clouds.

I'm just too smart to believe that we live on a ball you see too many inconsistencies. We live in a ball for sure but whats on the outside... Outer Earth, now what's past outer Earth, I have no idea really probably nothing.

so, what? You think we live in a ball? and on a disc that's inside that ball? Please clarify your belief.

As I'm sure you know, being "too smart" to believe we live on a sphere, that concave curves inward, like the interior of a ball. Maybe you mean convex? I really don't know exactly what you mean.

Try reading this thread again, starting with your subject line. I must be too stupid to understand you, since you are too smart. I hope you can explain it to a simpleton, like me. Thanks!

edit: sorry, I didn't notice your most recent post where you say "on a globe (convex)...", but It still doesn't make sense to me.

The same way I'm trolling you 

Either you are a terrible troll, or you don't really understand what trolling is.  I will give you a pro-tip--don't admit that you are trolling, especially not in the same post in which you are trying to troll someone.  Let me know if you need more tips.

sure, what other pro tips have you got for a noob like me?

Flat Earth Q&A / Re: Conspiracy theories

Every conspiracy has a goal. Therefore I love conspiracies. They're interesting. But why would every scientist want me to believe that the Earth is round? What is their interest? I will not live my live differently on a flat or round world. I wouldn't travel less or more. Nor would I change my opinion in different political discussions.

So tell me, why?

obviously to sell more globes

You realize, don't you, that the United States and Soviet Union were bitter enemies engaged in the Cold War at the time, right? There is no way that the two countries would make an agreement about faking space missions during a period when both sides were fearful that the other would launch a nuclear attack. 

Or so you have been lead to believe.  Conspiracy maybe?

You think the Cold War itself might have been a hoax?  Are you out of your mind?!  Do you also suspect that WWII was a hoax?  Maybe the American Revolutionary War was a hoax, too.  Come to think of it, why would you believe the Revolutionary War actually happened?  You weren't there to personally witness it.  Do you believe it just because the "authorities" tell you it happened?

You believe something just because you read it in a history book?

I want to know where you found your proof that the Earth is flat. Was it told to you by someone? Did you read it somewhere? Did you travel to the edge and see it first hand? I really want to know. I'm not trying to be a dick, I really want to know. I totally believe that the Earth is flat, otherwise the Bible is wrong. Please tell me soon so I can sleep tonight. nah... I'm just messin' with ya, I know it's not flat.

I just want you to understand how ridiculous your response is when you obviously have no proof and YOU believe what you've been told, or have read. Actually, I tend to believe that you are merely attempting to troll for the fun of it. The same way I'm trolling you 

Seriously, quit using that "you believe it because you read it in a history book" lameass reply when you believe without firsthand knowledge.
