Why do you believe that the earth is flat?

that would be cool.

you people are like.... so smart.

tell you what, go buy a ticket and fly around the world with a video camera and post the video.

What do you think that would prove? 

why not try flying plane off edge of world instead of?

Circumnavigation is possible on a flat Earth.

LOL everyone is laughing at you.
Is like to ask you have you ever been to the beach or up in a plane and looked at tha horizon.
I think you and me can both agree there is a definite curvature on the horizon.
Now for those who have flowen have you noticed that the curvature never gets closer...... how do you explain that??

How can you explain night and day? How can you explain lunar cycles and the changes of constellations? If the earth is flat, and ice walls are really surrounding us, wouldn't they melt from being so close to the sun?

Obviously, I know that 99 percent of you do not actually believe this. You only find it fun and challenging to confuse and confound your opposition with odd facts and absurdities, which you insist, proves that the earth is flat. The fact is, I have been in a fighter jet at nearly 30 thousand feet, and I can say without a doubt in my mind, that the earth is round, as in, it is a complete sphere, and not just a circular plain that if flat.

So how are things on newgrounds? Also read the FAQ, lurk moar, use the search feature. Have a good day.

Newgrounds?

I didn't bother reading the FAQ. This whole idea is absurd. Where are these ice walls? Wouldn't you think that somebody would have seen them by now? A picture maybe? One that has been evaluated and can be trusted as a viable source of accurate information. I can't see anything that proves that the earth is flat. Nothing that I have seen would indicate that, even in the slightest.

newgrounds? I figured you were with the guy who posted above you if not then why are you spontaneously here.

If your not going to bother reading the faq, or searching any answers you have questions on and instead are only here to say "blah blah i'm right your wrong" there is no purpose in you being here.

Go now, shoo.

Everyone consists of 33 [as of this moment] posts? Also you are the only soldier from the army of that thread to "invade" this site? kinda sad attempt... hopefully things will pick-up as the day progresses invasion wise. If this is the best you can do you ought to return to your base.

Also your questions have been answered hundreds of times before. I Suggest using the search feature. But if your to lazy for that then you can just go um k?

Okay, so I just read over the FAQ. I found one very glaring flaw. What would you say to somebody who had a telescope. Say, a powerful compound telescope, one that might be used to view deep space. Now, wouldn't that same telescope be able to see this ice wall without having to get close to it?

I know everyone of these things have been answered. Unfortunately I'm not the technical guru here I usually hangout and just have fun in the lower forums. If you want a real technical answer [assuming someone doesn't just tell you to search it because they are tired of answering] you will have to wait til more people wake up/login.

Shouldn't be to long before other people reply.

Also, explain why our sky is blue. That definitely pertains to having an atmosphere...notice the word sphere in there.

i did not say circumnavigation. i said to fly plane off edge simples

Also, explain why our sky is blue. That definitely pertains to having an atmosphere...notice the word sphere in there.

We know there's an atmosphere...think before you type .The atmosphere doesn't deplete into space thanks in part to interactions with dark energy. Hey here's an idea: read the FAQ

I have a question:

If you believe that there's some sort of "Ice Barrier" on the edge of the world, then how come we haven't come across it personally? Some people have traveled across the world. These people would have surely come across that barrier, right?

I respect your beliefs but I personally think that they're slightly flawed. I mean, why would the government try trick us into thinking the world is round? It doesn't make sense to me.

direct quote from FAQ: "The government prevents people from getting close enough to the Ice Wall to take a picture. Due to the false knowledge of civilians and explorers, finding the rim of the planet is extremely difficult and counter intuitive."

The motive of the consipracy that prevents people from reaching the ice wall has been said to be for financial gain and power although noone knows the motive for sure.

Here's a thread that takes a more in-depth look at the question

Gravity is what what holds our atmosphere in place. And I already read the FAQ. There is no such thing as "dark energy." There is no giant ice wall...well, actually there is, its called the arctic shelf, but not in the sense that you people believe. None of your sources are credible in my opinion. If the earth was flat, you would have some way to prove it. I on the other hand, have seen the earths curvature for myself, and can say without a doubt in my mind that it is spherical. On top of that, we have satellite images, we have live footage from said satellites of our earth! This goes far beyond graphical capabilities, period. Graphics will never be that realistic and tangible. What is your proof against all of this? This so called world conspiracy is absolute crap! Also, our systems of longitude and latitude based on the world being a sphere. Look at the curvatures. Nothing you say can dispute the fact that, from high altitudes, you can see the curves of the earth on the horizon.

I say FES Should bribe a pilot to tell everyone that the earth is indeed a pancake.

By the way i will be RoflmaoAC. If you want to look for my spam in every thread hopefully. Just wondering what sort of shit should i spam?

Gee i wonder who you are and what your purpose is here....

Fortunately, RoflmaoAC did not manage to survive for at least an hour.

What is holding you back form believing the earth is round? People died to prove it, and all you can do is doubt them at every turn. How do you suppose man reached North America, if not by a landbridge crossing straight through your "ice wall"? Is everyone in the career of "cartographer" a conspiring liar? Face it. The world is ROUND. Christopher columbus sailed around it. Werent you supposed to learn that as a child? Guys these people only say these things because they love to provoke argument. The fact is, no one has seen your Ice Wall and no one ever will. Because it ISNT THERE! You are disrespecting every person who died to prove this, specifically a very famous space shuttle crash. Also, radio. Radio would not be possible were the world not round, as it would not bounce back at an angle. And sattelites. I assume you watch Television? What do you think about sattelite TV? Load of bullshit too? because I watch it everyday, and it works just fine. The only conspiracy here is you fake asses who cant stand to do anything but deny solid scientific fact. So stop being attention whores, and jump into the 21st century.

I am really sick of lazy fuckers posting the same questions OVER AND OVER AND OVER if you want a answer use the search function. IF your just here to rant GTFO and go back to BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW grounds.

And by the way trying to tell me that astronauts died to prove the earth was round as an emotional attempt to sway me is utterly ridiculous. Besides no astronauts died silly, astronauts don't actually go into space remember?

No, he didn't.

By saying that are you stating that the Challenger and the Colombian shuttle crew all faked their deaths?

More likely they were killed to maintain the lie. Their blood is on NASA's hands either way.

The Challenger had a teacher on it, the "First Teacher In Space". So you're telling me that they murdered a teacher to support their claims of a round Earth?

They've no doubt committed murder countless times. Blowing up a shuttle full of people on national television is admittedly one of their more uncouth hoaxes. Anything to secure the conspiracy though.

I hate this conspiracy theory you FE'ers use to support your claims! I don't believe people are that power hungry and greedy to do countless crimes such as these. Do we live in an Orwellian world or something? Is everything we are taught a lie?

I would at least take to question the idea of the conspiracy if NASA was developed for government propaganda during the Cold War to give the American public a sense of superiority to the Soviets. But the Cold War is over now, there would be no point of keeping up a conspiracy such as that. Why would they even fake a destruction of their own space craft during the Cold War? Wouldn't the propaganda make the space shuttle look way more superior not inferior to the Soviets?

I'm sorry, I just have had enough of this conspiracy crap, just a lame excuses to support your claims. Get me some evidence that it does or might exist and I might take it to question.

What makes those pieces of literature trustable sources?

Their veracity of course.

Why should I listen to you when your motto says you won't even consider the other side? The point of science is to gain understanding, not become more narrow-minded. I first started reading this information and at first was impressed by the amount of thought put into it, but it's simply ridiculous and I'm still in the mindset that this is another site created by people just looking for a laugh, using people with no understanding of physics or reality to get it. I've seen many website like it, from Earth being a single celled organism to Pokemon being real animals from a different dimension.

Just please be aware that you guys are probably just the ass-end of a very, very funny joke.
