No, no. It's not that we aren't expecting people to come in and attempt to refute it. The point was simply that you ARE coming in here trying to prove it. This is such a SIMPLE concept, why do you guys not get it? If this was "The Round Earth Society" and a bunch of guys who believed the Earth was flat, THEN we would need to prove our case, but it's the FLAT Earth society, hence you, who disagree with the ideas of the people here, YOU have to prove US wrong.
Is it that hard to understand? Honestly...

When you make a website, or anything else for that matter (cult, religion political party, clan, discussion group ect.)
People will expect you to be able to prove that your point of view is not bullshit.
Ex:. People go into a cardgame forum and ask, "Hey guys, show me why you think Vampiric dragon is not a tournament worthy card" and people will explain with playtests results and game theory why it isn't.
You go into a fighting game forum and ask, "hey guys, show me why you think that SNK games are better than Capcom ones" People will show, through movies, game theory, per characte option and character balancing what their point of view is based on, and why it is valid.
Same thing with anything else. They won't go "no sir, you came to our site, we're not showing anything to you, YOU show us that Card X, or game X is not what we say it is. That would be seen as snobish to most people and would just alienate newcomers.
It's not realistic to think that people will come to your forum and NOT expect you to prove that your point of view is valid.
FES, you just got pwned.

Quote from: "Earthisround99"If you come here with a theory that differentiates from The Flat Earth Theory, then you are the accusers, meaning you have to prove us wrong. Any other attempts at logic don't even make sense. Durr.
I did present proof in my FAQ. You the one who hasn't shown me anything to warrant that the earth is not a cube.
You answered questions, but you didn't manage to present any evidence. And, you forget the fact that I DID prove to you that the Earth is not a cube; you just happened to bypass that part.Quote from: "phaseshifter"When you make a website, or anything else for that matter (cult, religion political party, clan, discussion group ect.)

Again, you are thinking incorrectly, especially in your examples.Quote

That's not a valid example. The CORRECT way to put that example would be: You go into a Vampiric Dragon tournament forum and tell them that it is not a tournament-worthy card. Obviously, they're going to ask you why you think that, and you are in the position where you have to prove it.Quote

Again, you're incorrect. Corrected example: You go into an SNK game forum and tell them that you think that Capcom is better. They ask why, and you're required to prove that Capcom is better.Quote

We don't say that we aren't going to show you anything, but if you're going to come and say, "You're wrong" and then leave, what's the point of proving anything?Quote:lol:

Alienate newcomers...Don't want to alienate those aliens, hm?Quote
It's not realistic to think that people will come to your forum and NOT expect you to prove that your point of view is valid. Even if it was, calling people morons would not be a good way of doing that either.
We do prove our point of view, but you have to give us something to prove, otherwise we can't prove a damned thing. Basically, the only way to counter you coming and saying, "The Earth is round" would be for us to say, "Nope, the Earth is flat." But hey, you guys aren't happy with that either. The point isn't for us to NOT prove our point EVER, it's that in order for us to DO so, you have to bring up the issues, and tell us what's wrong FIRST, otherwise we're stuck in a cycle of argument that is just plainly illogical.
Honest to God, what part of this completely logical concept do you guys not understand. IT'S SIMPLE! Freaking Christ...

From what I understand, he doesn't actually not believe in the war in Iraq. He's saying it's about the same as a FE. And jkallend, asking why the government would have the incentive to create a fictional war is the exact same as why the government would have an incentive for creating a fictional moon landing, and trips to antarctica. All the pictures we've seen. That there is no south pole. Or do you believe in the south pole? If so, where is it. Don't say anything about the FAQ, because I read it. If it's in there, I must have missed it. It makes perfect sense what Ezkerraldean said. I do believe in the war in Iraq, don't get me wrong, but I'm saying that we have the same proof of the war in Iraq as the word being round, yet you shoot down RE and say that it's conspiracy.
Isn't the burden of proof usually with the people who challenge the status quo?
Sorry if this was posted before ( I didnt feel like looking though 9 pages) but how do you know if the ice wall even exists if you are killed when you get to close?
That's not FE logic at all, really. People come to the site, they say "You guys are wrong, Earth is round."
To which the FE's reply "Prove it." Which is perfectly reasonable seeing as the burden of proof lies with with the accusers, not the accused.
Okay, prove that the earth is flat. As far as I am concerned it is a cube.
*drumroll*

Thank you for that productive post, jackass.
The FEers wont answer this, as they do every time someone asks this question.
Quote from: "Unimportant"Quote from: "Yardstick2006"Maybe in your warped little mind but us in the real world know that if want to 'challenge the norm.' so to speak, then you have to back it up.
Yeah, exactly; if we went out into the real world and claimed the earth was flat, it would be up to us.
We don't do that. Instead, you come into our world and accuse us of having a faulty model. You're the one accusing us, so you've got to prove your claim.
Jesus Christ! YOU ARE THE ONES REFUTING EVERYTHING THAT WE THINK WE KNOW ABOUT THE EARTHS SHAPE SO YOU NEED TO BACK IT UP.
Why even make a website if you have no intention of proving your theory?
bibicul claims to be smarter than Einstein.
Quote from: "beast"This is the Flat Earth Society. We proclaim that the Earth is flat. If you come to our society telling us that we are wrong you have to be able to prove it.
I am sick of this notion that FEtards continue to spout. Listen shitforbrains, the FET refutes over a thousand years of evidence that points to the earth being round. I'd say that as you are the ones that are saying that RE is bunk you are the ones that must put up not us.
Quote from: "DiegoDraw"Considering I hate the taste of diet pops (I seriously can't stand it), I voted deadly. I don't know...To have fun by drinking diet pop, you'd have to drink a CRAPLOAD of diet pop, so I don't know that it's that deadly, but my running joke about diet pop is: "Diet pop is just like regular pop, but watered down and mixed with poison." :lol:

I think what the studies say is not that drinking one coke will kill you but that drinking a few cokes a week over a long period of time gives you a greater chance of developing a number of serious life threatning illnesses later in life.
Quote from: "holybrain"Quote from: "thedigitalnomad"I'm fine with Carbon Dihydrogen Monoxide.Quote from: "holybrain"Until I found this, I drank diet sodas. Now I won't drink any sodas. It's an important read people. In the liver, aspartame will eventually be converted to rat poison (formaldehyde). So stop being suckered into drinking a possibly deadly chemical NOW! Remember, we used to use lead-based paint.
Formaldehyde is a disinfectant. You're thinking Arsenic, I'm sure. I don't think I've ever heard of formaldehyde used as rat poison. It'd probably work, though.
The point is that formaldehyde is dangerous.
They usually use formaldehyde to cure dead bodies, and prepare them for burial, that stuff itches and stinks, a friend of mine rubbed my arm with it after his anatomny lab where they disected animals

Quote from: "Kryptid"QuoteThat is incorrect. Object that have a neutral charge are still subject to the magnetic force. In order to be neutral, an object needs to have it's positive charge equal to it's negative charge. A neutral charge is not the same as an abcense of therof.
Hence why I used neutrinos as an example. They are electrically neutral, and are not composed of more fundamental charges.
Neutrinos complacate everything. They refuse to obey the same laws as other memebrs of their family, like water.
Quote from: "GeoGuy"Quote from: "phaseshifter"
The only thing you did was disagree, you presented no infromation to support your position. It is possible to verify if planes where flying EVERYTIME satellite imagry. Also, you only quoted PART of what I Said, why your your arguments were limited to a 4 word sentence that shows nothing else than the fact that you disagree.
I disagree because you've shown no evidence to suggest that there have been satellite pictures taken when no planes were flying overhead. You just made a general statement to the world at large with no supporting information to go along with it.
I just told you, IT CAN BE VERIFIED. Where's YOUR evidence that satellite imagry is done by planes?
All you have to do is collect a random amount of pictures and hpotage that was done on satellite imagery and compare them all with air traffic. If you 're right, there should be a plane at the EXACT spot the picture was taken everytime it was used for EVERY existing picture.
On the other hand, THIS is your argument quoted from your reply.QuoteIt's not.
And then you accuse ME of not providing information. Gods.
but we would be accelorating at the same rate as the earth
