What was the piece of evidence that convinced you that the Earth was flat?

If the earth was flat the moon would be a new moon for about 15 days and 15 days it would be a full moon.

You FE'ers are masters at deflecting questions, give me a straight answer to the question the OP posted.

What evidence made you believe the earth is flat?

Solid modern scientific evidence, unbiased by religeon or assumptions.

Rosebud.

Rosebud.

Nice try deflecting my question,

Give me evidence.

I've just come in from my yard and it looked flat to me.

No, it looks flat till you hit the curve.

(I cant see any farther with my telescope than I can with my eyes)

To all FEer's

At one point in your life you would have been exposed to something that made you say 'Damn you are right, the world is flat!!'

What was that?

I saw with my own eyes (aided by binoculars, of course) that a watercraft's hull did not disappear before it's mast did.

How far did it travel? (a lake dosent work, only a trans-oceanic vessel would dissapear)

What about the Great Lakes?

How far did it travel? (a lake dosent work, only a trans-oceanic vessel would dissapear)

Why? According to RET, an object at a distance s (in statute miles) can be seen if i has height h (in feet) not less than h = 2*s²/3. A small boat has height not greater than 6 feet. Therefore, it should disappear after 3 miles for a person looking straight from the surface of the water. If the person is also 6 feet high, than we would need 3 more miles before the boat dissappears. 6 miles is a distance that is possible on many lakes.

I saw how stupid RE'ers like you are and decided I didn't want to count myself among them.

When I found the ice wall.

OMG teh trooth is out!

Nice work Robby, I knew you wouldn't let us down. I take it you used your ninja skillz on the ice guards?

No, but I took a ninja with me.  He's in the photo, you just can't see him. 

Cunning, cunning.  Could you take Wardogg next time and lock him in a glacier?

That's what you get for argueing with a marine.  You aren't goin to be able to convince him of anything he doesn't already know. 

I only wanted you to do that so I could use an Arnie-esque "Chill out" on him

The FES has been toiling for many years to reveal a deep conspiracy at the heart of modern civilisation.  I find these efforts admirable, so I paid attention. Their accumulated evidence is what convinced me that FES was something worth sticking with.

So in other words, your a fucking idiot?

You really should read more carefully. Thanks Osama for the compliment, but even if I was a total retard it would not alter the fact that I didn't, at any point, say that FET was worth sticking with, but that FES was.

lrn2read, kthxbi

PS - anyone whose only exposure to the word 'matrix' is the film trilogy should lrn2math before calling people fucking idiots.

Ok, so you made that name because, its a cool looking name? im sure the film made some kind of influence there.

A film was an influence, but it's way way waaaaay better than any of the Matrix trilogy.  Extra brownie points if you can figure out which film.  Hint: I've given a big clue in this thread already.
