No, I am saying that if they do lie, then maybe you should question what they say.
Where is there evidence of a government telling the scientific community to say the earth is flat in any country.

Organizations of higher power are constantly telling scientists what to say.  You think something is absolutely true just because a scientist says it, yet scientists are proven to lie or just be wrong all the time.

It is also possible to question others while thinking for one's self.
Wow, thanks for that.  Such fucking insight.

To the guy who said TL;DR

Why would NASA and the whole scientific community lie? Thousands of people concealing the "truth"...for what? Please explain WHY they would go through the trouble of creating this elaborate hoax. Just give ONE reason. There is not one single thing to support your flat earth model. There are multitudes of facts and observations that prove the Earth is a sphere. Explain this.
They aren't all lying. 99% of them have no clue about the legitimacy. It's all compartmentalised. The other is your tax dollars that are reliant on two things that lead to one goal. It's reliant on your amazement and fear with the goal of keeping you controlled and a slave to the system, whilst willingly making yourself poor to feed the rich by doing what is asked (work) and giving it all back in tax and buying things you do not need but want by all means of brainwashing tactics.
So the chinese satellite image of possible plane wreakage is false?
Satellite image is false, overhead plane photo image may not be.

Are you claiming that the government never, ever lies?  This seems a little ridiculous to me.

As you consistently refuse to quote which specific comment you're responding to jroa, I'll assume you're addressing mine immediately above yours.

Where in my comment did I say anything even vaguely like "the government never, ever lies"?  In fact, I implied the exact opposite.  Governments often "massage" the facts, such as the unemployment rate, the national deficit or surplus, healthcare waiting lists, educational standards, corporate corruption, inflation figures, terrorist attacks and federal security, drugs and alcohol rehabilitation rates, welfare management, human rights and justice etc.

Obviously, you—and most other flat earthers—use this to conflate alleged lies about the nation with alleged lies about the Apollo space programs, and by extension the geometry of the planet (why?), the moon and the stars, man-made satellites and in some extreme cases the entire universe.

The fallacy of conflation is obvious here.

This is where you go wrong. You think all the powers(government, Military) control the scientist. Right?

So, if the government does lie, then shouldn't we question what they tell us?

Of course we should be reasonably cautious about any ulterior motives whenever the government says or does something.  But if one believes that the government lies all the time about everything then one should probably be considered paranoid—as obviously they don't do this all the time.

You just take their word for it, and you are happy to not have to think for yourself.
Thinking for yourself is not the same as rejecting "their word for it" out of hand.

Believing that the government is not completely truthful is not the same as believing that the government is always deceitful, now is it?

Thinking for oneself is not the same as rejecting everything, or did I say something different?

No it has pass it's design life time(1981 to 2011). Don't you think 30 years is enough.

We have aircraft from WWII that still fly.  Being old does not automatically make things unusable.  Russia copied our shuttles, and they still use them.

Correction!! The Soviet Union's Buran space shuttle took off Nov. 15, 1988, on an unmanned twice-around-the-world test flight that marked the pinnacle of Cold War space development. It never flew after and the program was cancelled.

Why do you think the gov't is so powerful they can do all these amazing things? They are a bunch of idiots. Gov'ts can't even control their own countries. What makes you think they are so powerful that they can create this elaborate Flat Earth hoax? They do not have super powers.
