Why does everyone get so angry when you say the earth might be flat?
Who has walked on the moon?

Who has boarded the ISS?

Who has manned a rocket that orbited as zero gravity?

Admit that you have by faith, accepted the narrative of the globe earth solely on the testimony of others.

I don't care if the earth is flat. I care that so many people believe the globe earth theory without convincing proof.

Some guy got pissed because I doubted the globe narrative. He has never set foot on the moon-- yet he acts as though he can do jumping jacks on pluto!

Re: Why does everyone get so angry when you say the earth might be flat?
I dont know why people get angry, even though the theory is obviously wrong. The flat earth argument is a great exercise in free thought and validation of information/proof. But should only be viewed as an argumentative exercise and not taken seriously.

Validating information for oneself is important, but there is an important line that must be drawn in the sand where information relayed by others should be taken more or less as fact/truth, if only for saving time if nothing else.

I think there better fights out there to participate in.

There are more empirical offerings to prove that we have been lied to many times about many things. Whether I live on a giant pancake or a wiffle ball does not concern me at all.

What cause I think it's impractical to visit the ISS to verify for myself that the earth is round, I'm a shill?

Lets say the earth is flat, then what?

Great post. Exactly why I like some 'out there' theories. You learn more from it being proved wrong than when it's just a doom date etc.

However, I think those who blindly follow these theories are undoing evolution. They've come to a conspiracy forum to be a sheep.

Re: Why does everyone get so angry when you say the earth might be flat?
I have been on the moon, many abductees were. Had dreams that were disturbing throughout my childhood such as my father getting angry with Nazi's and our lives being in danger, and a strange facility with a water treatment plant where my father found me and my brother and then a rescue. Someone not quite human interfered. I drove around my area looking for the facility when I got my licence.

Remembered walking through the tubes in 2008 when we were woken up with sitings. There were tubes that semi's could drive through. They had a program for children, and there were greys, human ets, and what I call Nazi's and the US Navy.

Aside from that, this flat earth thing is obviously a kind of appeasement or reset for the Muslims.

It's all about Muslims, and their flat earth beliefs.

It is incredibly insulting when they can mine uranus and fly out to pluto, that they have done this to humanity while fleecing them, radiating them, murdering them, destroying earth, using nuclear power, GMO's, forcing them to pay for their own lodgings, and live in crippled fashion.

Since Keely, Telsa, Russell's day, we've had clean advanced energy. The world is free and everyone lives in abundance without harming Mother, nature is well managed.

Oh wait.........................................................​........................THE FUCKERS HAVE HARMED EARTH, RADIATED EVERYONE AND THE OCEANS AND ARE KEEPING US ALL AS SLAVES AND SLAPPING US, TAUNTING US WITH FLAT EARTH.

FUCK RIGHT OFF JOKER/ROTHSCHILD'S!!!! SHOVE IT IN A TOILET AND FLUSH!

I WANT MY BEAMSHIP NOW!

AND EARTH IS FREE!

Flat earth? sigh.

You cannot fix THAT amount of stupid.

I do not get mad if someone is that dumb. I guess I can see why some people do. I think some get mad because the whole flat earth thing is perhaps one of the stupidest things ever.

Then there's the whole sun revolving around the earth thing? Sigh number 2.

IKR. I believe it's called cognitive dissonance.

Some people simply wig out if their world-view is challenged, even a little bit.

They can't handle it.

I don't know what shape the world is, but I don't mind considering wildly different theories on the matter, so long as there is good evidence to back them.

Right. Ball-Earthers realize that they don't really KNOW that the Earth is a sphere and have only accepted others say so that it is. The religious don't like being questioned.
