Time to Speak Out

Raind drops are perfectly spherical unless they are falling through air. If they fall in a vacuum they are spherical all the way down. I hope this puts an end to this pointless and off-topic banter.

Are you trying to define the natural habitat of water here?

raindrops are undeniable examples of how objects behave naturally.

They are.

They are.

1. Raindrops are far from perfect spheres.

2. Raindrops are not the earth.

Everybody, its time to take a stand.  We "FEers" "you" will no longer be made fools by the government.  We are not lab mice.  Its time to make a difference.  I say to all of you, do not be afraid.  We "you" will be slaughtered by the critics, but we "you" will stand through the torrent.  We "you" cannot fail if we "you" are correct.  Its time to but a voice to our cries.  Its time we had balls.  Whos with me, lets kick some ass.

Then someone said that raindrops aren't spherical, which they are.

Raindrops are not spherical.

Go forth forum warriors!! Spread the word of Flanet!

hmm...Traditionally, tears and rain drops have been drawn has roundbottomed cones...like a sphere that's been pinned out on top and stretched...

Yeah, raindrops are actually closer to...yes, discs.  They flatten out due to air resistance.

Also the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the friction in the Spherical iron core of the spherical Earth against its mantle which rotates at a different speed. 

That must be something they only teach at meteorology school.  How does the friction generate the magnetic field

Research topics for Flat Earthers:

1. Current weather patterns can only exist on a spherical Earth.  I know for a fact, I am a weather forecaster.   search these words: 'Coriolis Effect' 'comma cloud'
No, only rotation: just because someone thinks the Earth is flat doesn't mean the disk doesn't rotate.

2. A spherical Juipter can be observed rotating through any good telescope.
So what? This is the flat Earth society, not the flat Jupiter society.

3. A spherical rotating Sun can be observed through any good telescope.
So what? This is the flat Earth society, not the flat Sun society.  See my post on "The sun rises unblocked." p3 for why FE doesn't need spotlight sun, flat sun or anything but the observed (slightly oblate), rotating spherical sun

4. Time slows down as you approach the speed of light, therefore if the Earth is constantly accelerating, we would be at a stand still in time by now.  And since we can't go the speed of light unless we become energy, then when we reach the max speed, will everything float off the Earth into outerspace?  That's just a ridiculous notion.
Only relative to an outside observer travelling at speed of light relative to us.  Relativity allows for a constantly accelerating body - in fact the time dilation effect is exactly to allow that - the slowing of time and contracting of space is what allows apparent constant acceleration to generate speeds which only approach the speed of light asymptotically.

5. How many millions of people would it really take to "cover up" everything as a government conspiracy?
You don't have to believe in a conspiracy to believe in FE.  My curved light theory explains things without it.

6. The Earth's magnetic field can only exist with a sphere with a core of iron as it is.  A flat Earth would have a very different magnetic field.
No, it can get by with a sheet of iron, together with my curved light theory (remember light is electro-magnetic, so the theory includes magnetism as well as light)  Details on the "Why ships' hulls disappear, photos from space and other mysteries" thread

7. The shadow on the moon cast by the sun clearly shows that it is a sphere.  Can you get more obvious than that?
Also explained by curved light - diagram will appear on above mentioned thread tomorrow

8. Perhaps the Flat Earth Society is really an elaborate government conspiracy to distract society from their real cover ups.
It must be working, you have been distracted.

9. Or Perhaps the Flat Earth Society is just an arena to develop one's debate skills.  That would make sense since a good debator can argue any points, even obviously ridiculous ones.
OK, so let's see if you're any good - how would you argue Flat Earth?

10. Bubbles and raindrops are undeniable examples of how objects behave naturally.
No doubt.  So are salt cubes.

If you really want to bring yourself out of darkness, take these points into consideration.
Done.  See above rebuttals.
