Are there any Sphere Earth believers who used to be FE believers?

If there are any on this forum, what made you change your mind?

I doubt it. Once you're convince the earth is flat you really can't go back.

Everyone who is raised in a place that has contact with the developed world knows the Earth is round from birth. People that don't have clean water, food, electricity still tend to know it if there is any educational infrastructure at all to diffuse information.
I don't think if you can be convinced the Earth is flat, it's very easy to convince you it's a sphere again. You have taught yourself a new way to think that defies logic.

I think that the FE believers do realize that the earth is a sphere but maybe they are to scared to release their view of the planet, maybe they like the attention that they get through this website. Maybe they just want to be different.

Knowledge of the shape of the Earth is innate?  That's a new one.  You RE'ers never cease to amaze me.

"Learn your physics before you start ranting.  I am not a FE'er, but I am an engineer and I know my physics..."

Uh, ok.

Uh, ok.

I see your understanding of physics in 2006 conflict with your understanding of physics today.

That would be interesting to see. 

That would be interesting to see.

Well?

What a fucking joke. I said that people with some sort of education begin to be taught this from when they are born, not that it's something you know when you are born. You KNOW that is what I mean. You attempt to twist my words to gain derailment again.

No, you said it is something people know from birth, not are taught from birth:

What a fucking joke.

Yes you are.

That you did indeed have a difference of opinion back in 2006.

Well guess fucking what? I misphrased myself? Happy? I didn't phrase my words to exactly express my intention I expected someone to have the intelligence to know what I mean besed on the words around it and that no one in their right mind would imply that that sort of knowledge could be inherent. You don't prove the world is flat, you don't debunk any evidence that the Earth is round, and you don't convince anyone that I was trying to imply anything about inherent knowledge. You are only being a dick. It was clear in my original message what I meant, and my further clarifications have since erased all doubt. You only make yourself look foolish by splitting hairs over syntax and not winning an argument at all.

And nice comeback. Similar ones can be heard in a pre-kindergarten class. Where children begin to learn the earth is a sphere by being exposed to globes. Which is what I clearly meant. Maybe you need to go back to prekindergarten, to learn that the earth is a globe?

LOL!

I'm pretty sure every FE'er on this forum is all run by one person. All arguments are always the same and they always sound the same no matter who it comes from. Either they are all the same person or they hold regular meetings to make sure they all say the same thing.

You should know that TheEngineer thinks the world is round.  He just enjoys being an arsehole, so he joined the Flat Earth Society, where he can indulge his depravity without censure.

Essentially, he likes winding people up on the internet, which is precisely what he's doing with you.

You're starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist.

I enjoy having logical debates with people, which is why I can't work with people like jroa or TheEngineer (both of which are both just trolls that know the Earth is a sphere, from what I have heard.) I usually debate politics, but I decided to give that a break and see how people actually think the world can be flat and have an internet connection. I'm on winter break from school right now, so come mid January I will probably never really be here or only pop in once in awhile to see if people are still fools. Overall, I think people overestimate how much they can upset me on this site. I mean... the Earth is a sphere. Even if you call me names and give me models that don't make sense, I go to sleep at night smiling knowing that I am right and you are wrong. And if you are just trolling me to see how mad I get... lol get a life.
Most people I tell I do this don't believe this place exists until I show them.

I doubt it.  FE's are typically in denial.  Just go to any Flat Earth "Proof" video and look at the comments section.

You are taking all this way too serious. I hope you didn't come to the site thinking you are going to change minds. Most all on here have been to school and college and were taught the same things as you. Some of us though, don't necessarily believe everything we were taught. We see, what we believe to be, a lot of holes or wrongs in what we learned and we like to bounce them off people like yourself. So, don't get mad, just use reason to try and convince us otherwise. You will be a much happier person.

I don't think you're too far out on that thought. I've often thought it myself. Some are just too robotic in their way of words. I think many of them have a code. they certainly have a forum that we can't see and they play their games in that. They decide who to play against.
I've had it done to me on many occasions and still do.

This place isn't the joke but a hell of a lot of those who take part in it are playing one. It's easy to see if you pay attention, like you appear to be.

I actually agree with this.

100% this^ some of these guys are legit. Its become obvious to me though that the engineer is actually well educated and must have found something he is really good at: explaining fauxphysics for a cult of less educated half-wits due to his background in real science. It must be fun having that power.

I think im just about done on this site already as i've hit realization that the smartest of FEs that have important jobs in our society (such as the engineer) are actually just trolls who know the earth is spherical and the rest are just lemmings who honestly dont matter to the rest of us.
