A simple question.
« on: May 09, 2008, 12:58:49 PM »
Hello, if you guys are professional trolls taking the guise of a retarded belief, got me, heres your fish heads, allow me to feed you, if you are honestly retarded enough to honestly, please try and answer my questions seriously and disprove your idiocy.

Ok, now this is about your belief that the round earth is a conspiracy, now pray tell, what gain would the government make from making people believe this, will wars and the downfall of the human race begin because suddenly we're all living in a fucking petri dish?!

That and surely, if the earth was flat, the government wouldn't allow people around the edge because it's a slight safety hazard, that and how the fuck is a round trip in an airplane accomplished, does a plane that suddenly crosses the end of the earth magically teleport to the other end? And what does happen if someone does fall off, i think the leader of your organization should jump, you know, just as a sign of dedication, he can't though, because the earth is round.

Lastly, please may i see a picture of the flat earth, all these round earth pictures make me dizzy.

P.S. I have tiny balls.

Thanks for sharing (not really) and if you read the FAQ, entertaining as it was, most of the answers to your questions including the pic of the supposed flat earth are there.

The answers were bullshit, I think I made that clear when i cited them as fiction, I'm guessing you may have had a good education, did you not believe the round earth pictures to seem in some way different?

Please give me your own answers, I've clearly read all your crap and would like to see you come up with some of your own, of course I do get a heavy, oh my shit I've been trolled feeling it's entertaining to me as well.

P.S.S.S. I shaved them, there i said it!

Have you looked at pictures of the earth from space? Most actually do look fairly fake. Don't deny it.

Fucking denied, they look real. Don't deny it, and try and answer my questions, stop just throwing random crap because you can't answer my questions.

P.S.S.S.S. Introducing the new chicken legend, Not to mention, how come that woman who spent a fair bit of money, was allowed into space, yet you say that the government doesn't let regulars up, and don't throw that virtual reality bollocks my way, come on, give a real answer.

And why wouldn't you trust NASA? They made velcro.

Congratulations, you've managed to create a combo of not answering my questions directly and in your own way, as you cannot seem to grasp I've seen the F.A.Q. it's hypocritical of you to dismiss something with a backing of evidence and follow the F.A.Q, now answer the questions.

and for that matter, they don't look fake, stop telling me they do because I've established I'm not with you on that one, the reason they don't look fake is because people have been taking separate photo's of the earth for years, and in each one they look near enough the same, aside from which country is showing, simply because the round earth rotates to dictate day and night. and to capture it all would require them to piece the picture together and draw it on paper, how does one fly westwards from America and end up on the easternmost end  of russia? Did they teleport?

come on, at least answer that and don't bring up any random crap.

Here you go, although it isn't our crap, it is some new crap from FacePunch. One of your colleagues?

The Earth's gravity is caused by the centrifugal force of a rotating ball. Now how does a disc rotate like that?

yeah ignore the FAQ. it has worse science than The Book.

In FE theory it's NASA, ESA, etc etc scamming the government and the government believe them, why shouldn't they?

Out of curiosity do you believe the earth is round because of experiments you've done yourself or do you just take it for granted it's Round?

This is the best post on the fourm could not agree more.
Why the hell would the goverment hide that the earth is flat? why? they have nothing to gain.

Also if you answer this properly and not just say "READ THE FAQ" how come you can watch NASA take of a shuttle LIVE and I know it's live because I went all the way to Flordia on a plane to watch it and I saw it take of and leave orbit, on the web you can watch it in space were it leaves the Earth behind you can also see this at a screen near the launch spot were you watch and you see the Earth as round as round can be, NO WAY can they fake that there is no possible way.

Tell me how they do that and don't say "lol they spent moneyz on computer techongley instead of space flight"

They don't hide it; as far as they're concerned their billions are funding legitimate forays into space and showing a round Earth, why would they be suspicious of NASA?

No, the government is as duped as everyone else, that's what I'm trying (and rather eloquently, I thought) to say

You can't prove anything with science. That's not how science works.

No one here has masqueraded as a retarded belief. I think several posters seem retarded, but that has nothing to do with your statement.

Uhm, they don't. You can't go to the ice wall. You can't even go to most of Antarctica. There's a small section you can visit out of a vast continent. The rest is reserved for soldiers and scientists (that's true even if you think the earth is a sphere; I'll let you look it up)

that and how the fuck is a round trip in an airplane accomplished

 L = Cl * A * .5 * r * V^2
L is lift
Cl is the lift coefficient
r is air density
V is velocity
A is wing area

A round trip is when you board an a/c for one location and then return (usually after refueling).

This proves you didn't read the FAQ, look at the map, or are in fact the retard you claim everyone else is.

Yeah. There is no way the earth is a sphere. The pathetic attempt to justify it by this crowd only makes it that much more obvious.

On 11 May 1904 Lady Anne Blount hired a commercial photographer to use a telephoto lens camera to take a picture from Welney of a large white sheet she had placed, touching the surface of the river, at Rowbotham’s original position six miles away. The photographer, Edgar Clifton from Dallmeyer’s studio, mounted his camera two feet above the water at Welney and was surprised to be able to obtain a picture of the target, which should have been invisible to him given the low mounting point of the camera. Lady Blount published the pictures far and wide and, apart from some hypothesising concerning refraction, and dark hints of collusion between Blount and Clifton, these have not been explained.

The World. Flat it is.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Level_experiment#Method
At the point chosen for all the experiments the river was a slow-flowing drainage canal running in uninterrupted straight line for a six-mile stretch to the north-east of the village of Welney. The most famous of the observations, and the one that was taught in schools until photographs of the Earth from space became available, involved a set of three poles fixed at equal height above water level along this length. As the surface of the water was assumed to be level, the discovery that the middle pole, when viewed carefully through a theodolite, was almost three feet higher than the poles at each end was finally accepted as a new proof that the surface of the earth was indeed curved.

Quote from http://www.zetetic.co.uk/zetetic.html

    The Old Bedford Level was the scene of further experiments over the years, until in 1904, photography was used to prove that the earth is flat. Lady Blount, a staunch believer in the zetetic method hired a photographer, Mr Cifton of Dallmeyer's who arrived at the Bedford Level with the firm's latest Photo-Telescopic camera. The apparatus was set up at one end of the clear six-mile length, while at the other end Lady Blount and some scientific gentlemen hung a large, white calico sheet over the Bedford bridge so that the bottom of it was near the water. Mr Clifton, lying down near Welney bridge with his camera lens two feet above the water level, observed by telescope the hanging of the sheet, and found that he could see the whole of it down to the bottom. This surprised him, for he was an orthodox globularist and round-earth theory said that over a distance of six miles the bottom of the sheet should bemore than 20 feet below his line of sight. His photograph showed not only the entire sheet but its reflection in the water below. That was certified in his report to Lady Blount, which concluded: "I should not like to abandon the globular theory off-hand, but, as far as this particular test is concerned, I am prepared to maintain that (unless rays of light will travel in a curved path) these six miles of water present a level surface.

From a scientific point of view, there's been such a variety of results from the Bedford Level experiments that they're essentially useless. They prove nothing.
