I refuse to believe anyone could be this retarded. The Flat Earth Society don't actually believe what they say, they're just trolling, you know, like followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

No, no, it was "the Flying Spaghetti Monster" who created the Flat Earth in the beginning of time. This is the Truth and Nothing But the Truth! So Help Me God! (God = The Flying Spaghetti Monster).

@concord39 I don't know if you're joking, but globe = sphere. Maybe you meant to say disc? :p

When someone who is explaining their beliefs, theory and/or scientific knowledge be cautious of certain danger words or phrases that are clear warning signs that they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. This speaker used these danger words; 'probably', 'I'm not sure', 'seems to me', 'I don't think', 'I think' and 'generally'. Other danger words to be on the lookout for are; 'maybe', 'should be', 'not sure', 'might', ect..(feel free to add other words to the list).

I respect the Flat-Earthers for not believing the mainstream view and questioning everything. That's how Atheism and many other beliefs came about, questioning the masses viewpoint. Too bad in this case they're wrong.

*scheme up a plot that the earth is round

[LevanEvan]

If the earth is flat truely prove it.

I know that other things like the moon and sun are round (yes i own a telescope) so i see no reason why the earth out of every single thing up in space decided to be a flat disc. You are basically saying that all of the countries in the world decided to come together and scheme up a plot that the earth is flat. Your evidence has no fact to it.

[Rocklobster933]

Of all the things that to point out as 'not having been properly proven', you would think that almost anything we've discovered since finding out that the world is round would be just as deserving as the level of scrutiny this guy purports to hold. He says that if you go south far enough, you would simply fall off? What really is stopping any flat-earther from doing just that to find out? It seems like a pretty easy thing to do to confirm something as basic as knowing whether GRAVITY is correct.

You people with your science, I know the earth is flat I walk on it, I know bigfoot exists I have seen the photos and I know man never landed on the mood because the photos are fake. Next minute you will be saying Area 51 was where they "tested" spy stuff. We all know Area 51 is where they coordinate with the pyramid people landing zones for their space ship. You and your science stuff

Gerardus Mercator, in 1569 did all his work for nothing.

[mrannen1958]

where are the corners?

[mrannen1958]

How can he keep from laughing unless he really is retarded.

[mrannen1958]

The earth is flat. Just the sun, moon and all the other planets are round. WTF TARD
