You can walk anywhere and eventually fall off but prepare equipment to mount that wall of ice.

Well first, you can walk in any direction, it doesn't matter because you will eventually reach the edge. The edge is a 150 feet tall wall of ice, if you can climb over this ice, you will fall into nowhere.

only 150 feet?

anyone have pictures?  surely someone has gone and taken pictures?

Can you just as easily fly over this wall of ice?  What happens to planes when they fly over it?  can they fly into space?

Well see no one has had the patience or time or effort to walk to this wall of ice, and no one has had the patience or time or effort to fly to this wall either. If pictures of this ice wall was taken from space, the world will be sent into chaos because people are so used to believing the round theory, so they doctored all those space images.

well, considering people have done some pretty crazy things that took a lot of patience, time and effort, you'd think someone would have done this by now.

How far is this wall of ice from different parts of the world?

How do you know it's a wall of ice if no one has ever seen it, documented it or offered any empirical evidence of it whatsoever?

The government knows about it but is not telling us.

it's not that i mean to be pedantic, but rather to ask simple questions in order to get simple answers.  i think it would be obvious that to explain something as complex as a flat earth, or any shape of an earth for that matter, you should start with simple questions and answers and work up to more difficult ones.

he said the government was hiding the truth from us and i would like to know which governments or if it is all of them.

I find it strange that all 191 countries would be organizied well enough, with not only themselves but also with each other, to keep such things hidden from 6.5 billion people.

the round-earth theory was invented in the early 50's between the us and ussr governments. the space race was all choreographed and faked jointly by the 2 nations in a WWF pro-wrestling fake fighting sort of way. they got sputnik, we got apollo, it was all a lie to keep everyone beliveing the earth was round.

well, actually, the first documented idea of a spherical earth first came about around 240 BC by a fellow named Eratosthenes.  He used basic geometry to figure out the circumference using the sun.

Later, in the 1 century, Pliny the Elder claimed that most people believed in a spherical of the earth through his texts.

Then throughout history there are many notable people stating their reasonings behind why the earth was not flat.

So your idea that a spherical earth is a recent idea is actually very wrong.

Can anyone explain to me the reasons behind that conspiracy to "keep everyone believing the earth is round"? I mean people don't conspire just for the heck of it...

To make a long answer short I dont know why.  One can assume that it is for our own good as a people.

Well, if the north pole is at the hub and the "south pole" is really the Rim, as the flat-Earthers suggest, then clearly the southern hemidisc has three times the land area of the southern.

Proof:  Assuming the disc has radius R, the northern hemidisc's area is
  AreaN = pi * (R/2)^2 = (pi / 4) * R^2.
But the southern hemdisc has area
  AreaS = AreaEarth - AreaN = pi * R^2 - (pi/4) * R^2 = (3 pi / 4) * R^2
      = 3 AreaN

Who cares?  Well, it turns out that the US and the USSR are both northern-hemidisc nations.  They realize
  (a)  If the populace gets wind that the southern hemidisc is bigger, they'll realize that land is much cheaper there, and they will flee to South America and Africa.  The US/USSR will have nobody to rule over.
  (b)  If nobody but they know the secret, then they can go on exploiting impoverished peoples of the southern hemidisc, who don't realize how big their countries really are.

It's clearly in their best interest to keep us in the dark about this.

And how come terrorist organisations, or rogue governments wanting to destroy the world order, haven't revealed that the Earth is flat to send us all into chaos?

Hey, I know... it's because it's round!

To which the obvious answer would be that actually there aren't actually that many people in the world, what you think is the country you live in is a giant warehouse made to LOOK like the world. Yeah. Must be. Dang Governments!


Kinda ironic that the Flat Earthers go on so much about government conspiracy when all their 'proof' is conspiracy theory...

So, according to the flat earth theory, where on the earth is the closest place to the edge (as in city, country). Also, do you believe that there is like a piece of land all around or that the wall just comes out of the sea?

And if the world is flat, wouln't we be able to see the wall wherever we are?

the idea, from what i understand, is that the sound pole is actually not a pole and actually a wall of ice that goes around the end of the earth.

of course that idea makes the southern hemisphere a much larger area of space than it should be...but whatever.

dood, you're living in the 20th Century.  China & India will be the new world super powers for the 21st Century.  Walmart (worlds largest company) shelves are full of stuff from china and india.  When exactly  these two nations will dwarf the US is up to speculation.  

Not the entire southern hemisphere is flat broke anyways.

The wall of ice is obviously invisible, I mean, you can see through ice can't you. Jeeze people use your heads. Only college educated observers like me can see it. Why would God let any random rabble see the glorious work of his great wall. Think about it.
