flat earth? easy to disprove

I'm assuming that all the people that traveled across Antartica you believe were in on the conspiracy and the ones that went across the north pole weren't, correct?

When is your group going to rent an airplane, fly to the edge of the world and take photographs and/or video?

That is the only way to settle this.

Would you believe any pro-FE photos?

It is strange though that on googlemaps.com Antarctica is just drew! You can check it out by yourself anytime.

What is also strange, that a lousy travel to Antractica for the tourists costs like 30.000$ for 5-7 days. At least that what travel agenices offer in Russia... Too much, and for what? To see some ice? I dont think that travel there by plane is that expensive

This is a picture an Antarctic civil engineering team took in 2003, they were investigating structural stability of the ice for a new temporary airport to build a new scientific exploration base, the project name in case you're interested was Cybele and the company who took the photo was Mott MacDonald. The team found abnormalities in the ice, stresses weren't behaving as expected and they followed a fault line to this. They couldn't decide whether the gaseuos blurring in the background was a form of Aurora Australis or atmosphere leaking out. It didn't matter though because the client made the team sign secrecy documents and insisted on reviewing all material leaving the facility. luckily this one was rescued by hiding the memory card inside an uneaten ham sandwich.

One of the team died of cancer two months ago and told me all about the project minutes before he passed away.

Lawl.  That was epic.

Chris just won the thread.  But, as Midnight says (-is hoping he gets it right-), until we all go and see the Earth as a globe/a flat thing, the debate is pointless.

Yes, but I enjoy it anyway.

seriously, let's book a plane.  We'll have flatliners and rounders together. Everybody bring your own camera and ham sandwich to smuggle the photos back!

The conspiracy would surely catch you.

My point is proven. You won't accept FE pictures, just as FEers do not accept round earth pictures

no, no, I just want to see it with my own two eyes.  Can you imagine?  Nice picture though, do you have anymore?

Unfortunately not, the client, Polartech were very thorough when they took the pictures from the team

ok, let's do one of two things then.

1) get an equal number of flatters and roundies together to pay for a trip. Each side also has to post a bond that the losers will forfeit to the winners.  ie, the losers after the trip have to pay for the winners trip. If we don't make it to the south pole all bets are off. We will go down under the guise of filming the march of the penguins.  (Everybody agrees that penguins on Antartica are real, right?) As soon as we hit the continent we will scatter in pairs making a desperate scramble for the south pole. Or I guess we could get licensed by signing the secret treaty pact thingy and say we want to dogsled to the south pole. Then when we get back we can tell everyone we saw the edge of the world!

2) or the second way is to send flatliners down to Antarctica one a month for a couple of years and if NONE of them come back then we know somethings up for sure! We could even rent a plane and just start dropping them off on the coast at various intervals (with supplies of course) and eventually somebody would make it back! OR maybe we could gather up the uneducated South Americans that can't tell if there is really an equinox or not.  We'll tell them the peguin meat is much more delicous than monkeys.  And then we'll just start populating Antartica.

If we make our pilgrimage public enough eventually somebody will get through!

ok, who wants to go first?

The government sentrys will surely gun us down

Why should we bother doing any of that when we already know that the earth is flat?

The money should be spent on something less frivolous  and more beneficial to FE theory IMO.

Yeah like buying me a car and more vodka

Knowing and seeing it are two very different things.  Don't you want to see it for your own eyes?!?!?  Oh, but if you win the bet then you would have more money for stuff.

When I look out my ocean front window I see that the earth is perfectly flat. What more proof do I need?

I wanna see for my own eyes but I don't want it to involve any effort on my part

Ok, gayer you are the only one that gets to ride.  Everybody else has to walk.

Woo I get to ride! In your face losers!!!

but you still have to pay.  Unless we get shot or fall off the edge of the world then it would be a toss up on who pays.

I want a ride!  Being famous and all, maybe the guards won't shoot me.

erm I'll chip in a fiver

We could ask Gulliver.  He's a dying billionaire, maybe he'd fund the trip so he could see that he was wrong all along.

Oh, wait, Gulliver's already dead.  My bad.

Don't speak ill of the dead 

Saddam, you don't get to go - you're already dead. But as being a ghost now can you travel to the edge take a picture (preferably a high definition video would be best)?


WHAT?  Did I say something bad?

nah not you, Saddam, talking about poor dead Gully
