Antartica

Sacred Texts is where the book is hosted.  It is not sacred in the religious sence.  You can get it from Amazon.com if it makes you feel better.

Hara, you've got a little bit of a man-crush on MMMM, don't you? So sweet! Or did you completely re-type his posts for shits and giggles?

Just to put some of this into perspective.

And FEers call this a sacred text.


This makes the case for FE so obvious!

Once again, is this the only dribble you can come up with Rick?

Way to moderate the forum!

I think we posted at the same time

Well, I mean, it wasn't really spam or anything was it M?  I mean, if you want, we could just delete the post...otherwise I see no reason it would need moderating...

Sigh...
The comment was relating directly to Rick & the fact that a moderator would make comments like this.

"Hara, you've got a little bit of a man-crush on MMMM, don't you? So sweet! Or did you completely re-type his posts for shits and giggles?"

Or is it a moderator's job on this forum to goad people with childish school boy insults?

Of course nobody thinks that's evidence.  You'd have to be a moron to think that anybody thinks an illustration is evidence for something.  That's a picture of what the world probably looks like.  It's not trying to prove anything.

Quote texta Who thinks that is evidence? I very much doubt anyone here does.

Yep, you're absolutely correct! It's not even close to being evidence. It is however the only thing you FEers keep pushing, trying to argue your case.
Are you guys sitting on some real evidence?
Please share with us if you do.

What are you talking about?  Give an example of a flat Earther claiming that that picture is evidence.  You can't because it's never happened and you're just making up lies.  What's the point of arguing a point if you just make things up?

Fine, I'll provide photographic evidence then.

Here is proof for a flat earth in the form of an untouched photograph:

"In the geological structure of extreme northern regions, the sedimentary strata are abundant and of vast extent; while the constitution of Antarctic strata seems, on the contrary, as far as yet examined, entirely igneous."

The whole terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs, are almost constant.

"The waves rise like mountains in height; ships are heaved up to the clouds, and apparently precipitated by circling whirlpools to the bed of the ocean. The winds are piercing cold, and so boisterous that the pilot's voice can seldom be heard, whilst a dismal and almost continual darkness adds greatly to the danger."

"The sea quickly rising to a fearful height, breaking over the loftiest bergs. . . . Our ships were involved in an ocean of rolling fragments of ice, hard as floating rocks of granite, which were dashed against them by the waves with so much violence that their masts quivered as if they would fall at every successive blow. The rudders were destroyed, and nearly torn away from the stern-posts. . . . Hour passed away after hour, without the least mitigation of the awful circumstances in which we were placed. . . . The loud crashing noise of the straining and working of the timbers and decks, as she was driven against some of the heavier pieces, was sufficient to fill the stoutest heart with dismay. . . . Our ships still rolling and groaning amidst the heavy fragments of crushing bergs, over which the ocean rolled its mountainous waves, throwing huge masses one upon another, and then again burying them deep beneath its foaming waters, dashing and grinding them together with fearful violence. The awful grandeur of such a scene can neither be imagined nor described, far less can the feelings of those who witnessed it be understood. . . . The ships were so close together that when the 'Terror' rose to the top of one wave, the 'Erebus' was on the top of that next to leeward of her; the deep chasm between them filled with heavy rolling masses; and as the ships descended into the hollow between the waves, the main-top-sail-yard of each could be seen just level with the crest of the intervening wave from the deck of the other. Night cast its gloomy mantle over the scene, rendering our condition, if possible, more hopeless and helpless than before."

The cold was severe, and every spray that touched the ship was immediately converted into ice. . . . The gale was awful. . . . A seaman, in endeavouring to execute the order to furl, got on the lee yard-arm, remained there some time, and was almost frozen to death. Several of the best seamen were completely exhausted with cold, fatigue, and excitement, and were sent below. . . . All was now still, except the distant roar of the wild storm that was raging behind, before, and above us; the sea was in great agitation, and both officers and men were in the highest degree excited."

So great had been the sufferings of the crew, that the ward-room officers joined the medical officers in petitioning the commander of the expedition not to continue the voyage on account of the "extreme hardships and exposure they had undergone during the last gales of wind."

"The general health of the crew is decidedly affected. . . . We feel ourselves obliged to report that, in our opinion, a few days more of such exposure as they have already undergone would reduce the number of the crew by sickness to such an extent as to hazard the safety of the ship and the lives of all on board."

How far in the gloom and darkness of the south this wilderness of storm and battling elements extends there is at present no evidence. All we can say is that man, with all his mightiest daring and power of endurance, has only succeeded in reaching the threshold of this restless, dark, and forbidding region of the material world.

The earth rests upon and within the waters of the "great deep." It is a vast "floating island," buoyed up by the waters, and held in its place by long "spurs" of land shooting into the icy barriers of the southern circumference. Geological researches demonstrate that it was originally a stratified structure, definite and regular in form and extent, and that all the confused and irregular formations observable in almost every part have resulted from internal convulsions.

Chemical analysis proves to us the important fact that the great bulk of the earth--meaning thereby the land, as distinct from the waters--is composed of metallic oxides, or metals in combination with oxygen, and also with sulphur, chlorine, carbon, and other elements. When means are taken to remove the oxygen, it is found that many of these metallic bases are highly combustible.. Experiments with electric and other subtle powers of Nature, render it obvious that all the elements of the earth were originally in a state of gaseous solution, or dissolved in the great menstruum of the material world--electricity. That by a sudden abstraction of this great and universal solvent, the elements were liberated; and owing to the different affinities and relative densities which had been attached to them, combination, precipitation, stratification, crystallization, and concretion, successively occurred, giving rise to all the rocks, minerals, ores, deposits, and strata, which now constitute the material habitable world. That by the action of unconcrete or gaseous unprecipitated elements, and free electric and actinic forces upon pre-existing germs, all the numerous forms of animal and vegetable life were brought into being, and are now maintained.

However great such operations may seem to the mind of present man, all the vast structure of the physical world, and its innumerable myriads of organic beings, were the work of only a few hours. It is easily demonstrable that so rapid and intense were the processes and chemical changes, that a few days--such as we now understand by the word--were ample time to bring out of invisible, imponderable chaos, all the tangible and varied elements which now exist, and to develope every possible form of beauty and elegance, and every condition of happiness and wisdom. All opinions to the contrary which are held by philosophers of the present day, are the result of insufficient perception of the whole subject, which insufficient perception is again the result of self-imposed hypotheses, which bias the judgment and confuse the understanding. No man, however learned and accomplished he may be, is able to understand the simple processes of creative effort unless he is himself a simple and humble observer of phenomena, free from the prejudices of education, and anxious only for a knowledge of the truth as it exists in reality, and not in desire and imagination...

The whole terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs, are almost constant.

I hope you're not using this anecdote as some sort of backup for the FE Antarctica argument. While being a nice story, it doesn't prove or disprove anything remotely related to an FE theory of an Ice Wall, its guards or a conspiracy. It's just irrelevant drivel.

My post wasn't trying specifically to prove anything, I was just trying to demonstrate that the Flat Earth community have a lot more to go on about Antarctica. The OP seemed to be trying to suggest that all we had was a small hand-drawn map of the world.

let me ask you a question, since you have such a honorble position at this prestigious forum....... if you had the oppurtunity to murder every single conspirator with disregaurd to their famiies, would you do it? they are terrible  
people who are lieing to us. they are cruel human beings.. correct?

That was lame MMMM, irrelevant, and made you look stupider than Doplatter by far.
