Flat Earther?
« on: July 10, 2024, 11:32:34 AM »
I see them pop up on youtube, X, and other forums. Any here? If there are let the arguments begin. Keep them civil.

I once flew a gassed up B-17 off the map in AW because of falling asleep. I woke up an hour or two later and saw some strange stuff out there.
It turns out it was a new episode of NYPD Blues and instead of Jimmy Smits, it was Ricky Schroder on the Sony Trinitron across the room!
That was a strange night back in 1998. I abruptly crashed my B-17 and changed the channel.
The earth was flat that day.

I woke up to find my b29 out of fuel and descending.     I saw an island and, after landing, I got shot down by a train.

As someone whose taken a college level Weather and Climate w/ lab course and made an A. I can confirm that the world makes far more sense being round than it would being flat. I think it was my favorite class actually, next to philosophy and then all that stupid business stuff  ;)

I would say that it makes far more sense that the world is round, than it does to say there isn't anything special about Crop Circles.

I wonder if Flat-Earthers believe in curved space\time?   :headscratch:

I am sure we all know people that should fall off the edge.

People in the US go to school from a young age and are taught the world is a globe. We all believe. One morning some of us get outta bed and decide maybe the Earth isn't a globe? Perhaps they've never really given it much thought. Maybe their schooling never encouraged the critical thinking necessary to determine for themselves?

I don't think a single Flat-Earther outside of a state institution really in their hearts believes it.  Not one bit.  Not a particle. 

They just enjoy being Edge-Lords and getting reactions.

On the other hand, I do believe there are truly deluded people who, sadly, do believe crop circles are alien communication ideograms stamped out in agricultural products at night.

You may be right. I've conversed with a very few and they seem unwilling to consider any evidence proving the Earth is not flat.
