Have you ever met a flat earth believer?

That's a lie. Any kid can buy a balloon kit and send one up with a camera to 100,000 ft.

Tell the point at which the fake comes in.

Are you trying to prove that the world is flat? Because in that video it totally looks flat.

I never thought I would say this, but I could sorta get behind this theory now.

Yeah, totally flat

So it appears the Earth is neither round, nor flat, but squiggly-wiggly like you were looking in a funhouse mirror?

I like the first video better.

Neither I nor anyone I know ever claimed the world is a pancake.

If I thought that might be the case, you'd be able to see me every morning pouring Vermont maple syrup on it and devouring it, but I promise you that doesn't happen.

The "pancake" argument is a straw man argument globetards like you use because you don't have the facts on your side.

I am sorry if I offended your belief by saying pancake. Please tell me the shape that you would like us to say that accurately represents your belief. Or your model.

Um.... gravity?

When I drop a ball, what force is pulling it to the floor?

I haven't met a flat-earth believer, but I met a guy once who didn't give a f@ck.

Priceless

When you run around a track, you are running "around" which means you have to TURN to stay on the track. So why is it that you can travel in a straight path on the earth and return to your same position? You can't do that on a track. You forgot to take into account there are 3-dimensions, x y and z. You put "science" in quotes, and then proceeded to say that all of the science community is bought and paid for. This clearly shows that you never went to college under STEM and continued onto a STEM career. If the science world was bought and paid for like you claim, then if you had gone through a STEM program and job you would have 100% been informed to conceal your true data because you are bought and paid for. Yet, this doesnt happen (as a STEM person), and you can't speak to it because you've never done it so don't even try and argue that.

I love the argument on why would the government care if the world is round vs flat and they bring up NASA and billions... hahaha.. who cares about billions when 1) there are trillions and 2) money is created by man!!

Retards.

You're calling them retards but you think no one cares about billions because there are trillions?

5. The Sun revolves around the Earth and is only 34-miles in diameter and several thousand miles away.

6. Gravity also (essentially) doesn't exist.

These aren't very good points for critique. Thinking they are just makes you look ignorant.

Gravity is baseless dogma, it doesn't exist. The ball falls to the floor because of the principle of "equal and opposite reaction." The ball started on the floor, you induced an action that put it above the floor, and the equal and opposite reaction returned it to the floor.

If the ball bounces, it doesn't go as high as it started because the collision isn't perfectly elastic. That's how things fall from outer space and get stuck here. If the collisions were elastic they'd bounce back equally fast an go back to outer space.

A guy I worked with this summer was a flat earther. He seemed totally normal until he tried to "convert" me and some other people. He tried to say that the earth was only 2000 miles from the sun and that planets do not exist. He also posited that Einstein never existed and that gravity is "just a theory".

All in all he was a cool guy and one of my favorite coworkers, props to him for taking everything with a grain of salt.

Gravity is just a theory. Do you really not know that?

No one really knows. Could be "gravity", could easily be several other things just as valid as gravity.

You skipped too much logic here. Being bought and paid for does not necessarily mean that everyone involved is aware of it.

Just so I am clear. Every Transcontinental pilot is in on this globe conspiracy if they do not publicly admit that the earth is not a sphere?

Or are they being duped as to what their true flight path is?

There they go again, denying conspiracies exist.

YUcant, how you would decide I've never run based on my answer about the shape of the Earth is something known only to you. For what it's worth, I've run around plenty of tracks. Even won a state championships for a one-hour run on a track once. It was a small state, but still. Not that any of that matters.

As for you shutting me down so brutally, all you did has type a bunch of lunacy. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be a passenger on a plane piloted by your cousin.

Insane much?
