Oh my god bullhorn, you're right! The fact that the government wastes money (which I'm sure was news to everyone) is clearly indicative of a global conspiracy. Your logic never ceases to astound.
You know what, it's been a while since I've done this, so here we go, just for the hell of it; point form!
Why is it that all the expeditions to the Antarctic are Government or University Controlled.
Wait...you mean that expeditions to a place where we can learn things, and would easily be destroyed by the regular populace, are strictly controlled by establishments that are trying to discover things? That's ridiculous. We should let private enterprises start up there, and have open season on penguins.
Know what else is government regulated? The pharmaceutical industry. The only logical extension of this is that the government is drugging you. Or, of course, we could use sane person logic and deduce that the government is regulating things for a reason.
Why is it that The United Nations has the flat earth as its symbol...Because it is flat.
Let's look at your claims:
A) Super-powerful government conspiracy that never slips up is in place, keepin us all in the dark about the true shape of the earth.
B) All the world leaders decided that the best way to acheive this goal would be to use a flat earth map as their logo, for no apparent reason.
Good job there with your pseudo logic.
By your logic, I can claim that since the Canadian flag has a maple leaf on it, the entire country must
actually be the shape of a maple leaf, there's just a huge conspiracy to conceal it from me.
Or, Since the Mustang logo is a mustang, all their cars must secretly be horses, but I'm just being decieved into thinking I'm sitting in leather seats and using a steering wheel, when in reality, I'm sitting on a saddle and holding reigns.
Way to go, genius.
And finally,
why is it that educated people such as myself and my fellows above believe in a flat earth? Because it is flat.
This isn't even real logic, it actually just seems like words you tried to throw together to make a coherent argument, but failed, and decided "Aww, what the hell..." and posted anyways.
First, your entire argument is contigent on your being intelligent. Sorry, but you've never demonstrated this. Not once.
Second, an intelligent person can still make stupid statements, which you've just shown (assuming you are intelligent, and have organised a giant conspiracy with which to decieve me), so stating that an intelligent person says something is pointless.
Third, this statement is just useless as a whole, because I can easily say, and it's already been said:
Why do educated people such as myself believe the Earth is ROUND? Because it is.
Wow...been a while since you've been so thoroughly destroyed hasn't it bullhorn? Well, I enjoyed it, now shut the hell up and go back to hiding in whatever hole you were in before this discussion.
