Sorry Ive been gone for awhile.  No one to keep the post going so the FE'ers just ignore a legit post.  Typical.

What legit post? You claimed without basis that people arrive at the South Pole Station from various continents around the rim.

You're wrong. Neither Russia, Australia, or New Zealand have permission to cross into US territory in attempt to find the South Pole Station.

The US has no territorial claims in Antarctica.  A cursory amount of research would have told you this.  In fact the US-run, McMurdo Station is located in New Zealand territory.

Actually I claimed with basis that men crossed the entire Antartica continent in 220 days on foot.  Which would be impossible in FET.

That's not impossible. (But unlike the other Flat Earthers, I think the Ice Wall is beyond the North Pole, not the South Pole.)

If the wall is circular, isn't it beyond both poles?
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.

In FET Antartica is a ring that surrounds the outer rim of the known earth.  The mileage involed to cover half the circumfrence of the ring in 220 days by foot and dogsled would be impossible.

I'm not sure how this is possible, especially given my current theorized map for the Antarctic.  I'll think about it.  Sorry for the late reply, been buys as of late.

Show the documentation of such events and then we'll have something to respond to.

What good would that do!  You FE'rs have demonstrated time and time again that whenever RE'rs shown documentation, however convincing, that supports their views, you simply dismiss it as a lie and a product of the mythical conspiracy you insist upon!

With all the noobs running around I thought I would bump a decent thread. 

I never did see that map username.

Even in the older topics, valid arguments for a Flat Earth never get due attention.

Adding to this conversation -- a worthy one to debunk the Flat Earth Myth -- here's a google link for crossing the Antarctic Circle:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Crossing+Antarctica&aq=o&oq=

As I write this, there are 211,000 hits on the search, including privately funded journeys, many independent detailed accounts of personal crossings and open invitations to be the next to make the crossing.

This thread is quite good and the argument you made before becoming a FE'er is very good evidence against FET.
I applaude you for this.

The problem is there is no proof they said what they did.  More than likely they were funded by some government to go away for 220 days and then come out saying they had done it.  Its happened before.

Don't have to.  It is impossible to do in FET.  Can you show anything else?

Its impossible for people to be funded by some government to go away for 220 days. Eh? Yet you say it happened. Eh?

Your posts make no sense at all.

Man basic reading comprehension really doesn't have a grip on you huh?

Its impossible to walk the ring of Antarctica in 220 days.  So they must not have actually did what they say they did.  IE probably funded by the government to go away for 220 days and then come out saying they did it.


Have you got that now?  Or do I need to write it in Dr. Seuss form.

I did not do it, Scolese-I-am,
I did not traverse the Antarctic span.

I did not do it in a car,
I did not do it in a jeep,
I did not even employ

Right. So you can show that government funded them to stay away, and then reappear.

Or is all this useless conjecture?

see that little stick of ice that pokes out of the Ice Wall? if a magnetic mineral deposit (natural or artificial) was there, it could royally srew up the expeditions compass enough to make them think they had jus passed the south pole.

The magnetic south pole is several hundred miles away from the geographic south pole so a compass would be pretty useless for finding the geographic south pole.

Only if you don't know the difference between the two.

One of many.  I'm just waiting for the "Those guys are really in on the conspiracy and didn't actually do what they said they did" argument.  You could almost set your watch to it.

Quote from: Tom Bishop
It doesn't matter. All of these expeditions and bases on Antarctica are government funded.

Right on time ;D
