Anonymous Coward User ID: 71124074 United Kingdom 01/02/2016 05:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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. |

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. |

Sungaze_At_Dawn User ID: 70246439 Canada 01/02/2016 08:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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! The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

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. |

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. Globesters wigging out ---> |
