I've heard that Flat Earthers believe that 1 person made it to the edge of the earth but never came back?...Now to me, that sounds so ridiculous and something that a child would dream up.

Riddle me this FE'ers...A plane leaving from England can reach Australia in 24 hours regardless of what way around the globe it travels...furthermore, why do passengers and pilots on the tens of thousands of planes that fly to every "corner" of the globe NEVER see the edge of the Earth?

Any logical answers?
The Earth is big. It's also inhospitable further out towards the rim, so you are neither going to see much further towards the outer part, much less travel into to it.

Once again JROA, you're coming up with your own form of rationalisation. You're thinking of ways to prove your myths. Why can rockets and satellites be sent millions of miles into space but not to the edge of the earth? Also, why are we apparently led to believe the earth is round? why would the government tell us this?

Space agencies are extremely lucrative.

I can't send rockets or satellites thousands or millions of miles.  Can you?

They simply do not travel far enough south to see the edge.  It is likely impossible for a plane to go that far south anyway.

At ~2400 km/h, a fighter jet can fly around the earth in ~16 hours. Try again.

Can he do the same thing around the poles?

JROA, you're just coming back with petty answers that don't do anything to aid in the acceptance of a flat earth.
Like Donk3y said, a fighter jet can circumnavigate the globe in 16 hours. Do you think that anyone who has circumnavigated the globe, be it by foot, car, bike, boat, plane etc is lying?

And obviously i personally can't, but if they can put man on the moon and send satellites to Mars, then why the hell can they send one to the edge of our own planet? Your crappy theory about it being too cold to do so is pathetic.

You angry noobs really should read the FAQ.
East and West are like traveling Clockwise and Counterclockwise around the North pole (the center).
Circumnavigation is entirely plausible.

I'm not angry, i just fully don't understand why you're trying to disprove something like a round earth. I see that (from a previous post someone posted) you have around 300 followers. Between these followers, what evidence do you have that proves a flat earth? It just seems like one day someone decided he thought the world was flat and got a small cult together to dream up ideas as to why it may be. i still havent recieved any logical reasonings from anyone that hold any sway. I'd be delighted if you had any evidence that was more upstanding than "ifs" and "maybes"

Where did your evidence for a globe come from? Did you decide it or was it decided for you?

Please provide evidence that a fighter jet has circumnavigate the globe in 16 hours of nonstop travel.
markjo, what force can not pass through a solid or liquid?
Magnetism for one and electric is the other.

Well it's common kowledge backed up by scientific fact and logic...not your theories of a flat earth that is flat because you say it is and all your made up theories of it being too cold to explore and impossible for anyone to ever see, bla bla bla...being a smart person here, i'd opt for the scientifically backed, logical (correct) answer.

The evidence is here for you to look over, however your statement is irrelevant since I did not make that claim.  However, the circumnavigation in 16 hours was stated as fact and I would like to see the evidence this happened.

had the same discussion with you. Where did your flat earth comes from?
