I am deeply curious about all of this.

First things first. Due to me being selfish, despite any FAQ or previously answered questions, I want my questions answered personally. So any macros or obnoxious pictures ridiculing me and then telling me to go read something else aren't necessary. I DEMAND RESPECT.

Anyway. I mean no harm in posting this. I am just genuinely curious about this subject matter. The theory of a Flat Earth. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think this is "satire of ignorant times from hundreds of years ago". It has to be a joke. Now unless you guys are just really clever, it appears to me that you do indeed believe this theory to be absolute. Which brings me to the next thing on my mind. "Why?" Something I'm sure the lot of you hear quite often. Why believe in a Flat Earth, despite the endless supply of physical and scientific evidence to prove otherwise. The only answer that seems to be given is that it's all a big global conspiracy. I for one don't see the logic in if you deny it, it suddenly becomes a conspiracy. What makes it a conspiracy? Who is involved in this conspiracy and why? For money? I'm not quite sure of the money one could get out of this, calling the Earth round. I just don't know, which is why I am here.
NASA is apparently in on the conspiracy, and at the same time, not in existence. All photos that attempt to disprove the Flat Earth theory are obviously manipulated as a part of "the conspiracy". It just doesn't add up. I can go around calling everything in existence to be a part of some global scam. It doesn't mean I am right. Why do we breathe oxygen? How do I know it's oxygen? I was only told by other people it was oxygen. I think it's methane we breathe to stay alive from all these damn cows...Something stupid like that. AIR IS A CONSPIRACY...I am not sure where I am going with that.

Anyway, and what is this about a "giant" ice wall? That is apparently ever regulating in size? Sometimes it's 150FT tall, hundreds of miles long, other times it's 50,000 feet tall and never-ending...Which is it? Or have any of you even seen this barrier and only assume it's there so you can try and live your lives without wondering anymore. I don't know. Also, where is this wall? Is it near Hawaii? It can't be, I flew to Hawaii and I saw no hide nor hair of it. Besides it's too hot there for an Ice Wall to exist anyway. Tee hee.

I think that you should all take a trip from...Where-ever you are, and go West to Japan. From Japan, keep going West back to your starting point. Bring a compass too in case you think they are leading you on due to the conspiracy. If you make it back without seeing a wall, you win. If you see a wall, get pictures for me. If you crash into the wall, get pictures for me. If you get shot down by one of the 100 helicopters patrolling the wall, get pictures for me.
Hell, does anyone even have any evidence to support this theory? I mean you can spin scientific rhetoric to anyone, I'm talking REAL EVIDENCE. How about pictures of this Earth, from satellites...Oh wait they don't exist. How about from those rockets that take off towards the sky...Oh wait they don't exist. I mean, I don't get it. Denying everything else doesn't mean what you believe is right. I JUST DON'T GET IT, FRIENDS. Please, someone. Help me understand!

I haven't been to space [due to it obviously being impossible], and I'm sure none of you have either [due to it obviously being impossible]. I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME A FLAT EARTH.

Thanks.

The one that holds up the area around Japan and Indonesia, I would assume.

I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME A FLAT EARTH.

If you want to see a Flat Earth just look out your window.

What if I see mountains?

Try looking in another direction then. Do you see flat or round?

Hence, we have observational evidence that the earth is flat.

What evidence do you have showing that the earth is, in fact, round?

How do I know you didn't edit my surroundings and this all is just a big conspiracy?

From our perspective. However, the universe is much bigger than that, good sir.

As for evidence of a round Earth, it wouldn't matter. You'd just pass it off as a part of the big conspiracy.

Wait, so you came here to insult our beliefs when you yourself have no actual evidence to support your hypothetical model of the earth?

Can you present evidence that the world is flat with material other than poorly MS Painted pictures?

What if a hole were to appear into the "Ice Wall"? It would be like a tub and soon we would have no water!

lol you know this one is no better then narcberry right?  It says if the earth is round, why aren't the walls of tall building not parallel.

kk, so if I quiz you on a few things you'll be able to answer my questions because you've read all of those books and know they're reliable, right?

Okay, first I'll throw you an old one: What's up with Magellan?

He stole that list of books from a government site none the less.
