These people believe the Earth is flat. They are insane. To be sure most of the people there are just trolls mocking them and their general lack of any science education, but still some of them actually believe this crap.
Flat Earth Society
The best is in one thread, in which one guy asks in exasperation just WHAT it would take the narrow-minded believers to finally realize that the earth is round and got this reply:
"Pictures from space would be highly convincing to me, were it not for my knowledge that the Space Programs of the world are involved in a devil-worshipping globluarist coven with several major airlines and defense contractors, and that it wholly in their interest to fabricate evidence of space travel at any cost."
Seriously what the hell?
Here's a thread linkage so you'll know I'm not making this **** up.
These people are insane.

Ahh yes. One of my favourite trolling grounds along with some of the religious fanatics boards.

Yeah we know. Also it's filled with complete morons. Especially considering the Greeks were the first to come up with the idea the Earth was round.

Edited by: Alex Raptos on 24/07/2009 23:44:57 General rules of Flat Earth Society;
1. The picture is faked unless it lends proof to the theory that the earth is flat.
2. Any hints of poor grammar prove that you are not capable of providing any non-faked proof.
3. A picture of the earth only proved that it is circular, not spherical.
4. You must post proof to contest the earth being flat, whereas flat earth believers are at no liberty to provide counter-proof. Instead they will simply refer you to one of three or four books, in which there are a handful of debunked "Scientific Tests" generally based around the one original test.
Oh and the one outlined in the OP's post: Organisations, such as Nasa, which claim the earth is Spherical, must be false because they somehow, somewhere, have connections to Satan worshipping or the kin.

The flat Earth idea is cool, in its own way, but there's some other stuff I like to read about: the Hollow Earth concept.
It states that the interior of the Earth is, well, you guessed, hollow
The concept itself is quite rubbish but there are some nice stories built around it and they can be really entertaining.
Please let's not prove anything to me, I'm very well aware of the fact that it's nothing more than figments of some guy's imagination.

Actually there's quite a few. We call them "Americans" *snicker*
In all seriousness though, try googling the "not on earth" society or something.

I actually enjoy it when they try and claim that Gravity doesn't exist. According to Flat Earth, there is no gravity, the earth just happens to be accelerating upwards at 9.8m/s^2

You'd be surprised how many of these delusional organisations there are. Many of them have a habit of wearing silly hats too, its really too much when you think about it.

What do these people believe happens to transatlantic/transpacific flights? A distortion in space/time teleports them to the opposite end of the flat earth?

They claim that the Airlines are part of a Satanic conspiracy cult. No joke.

K, so if I post three images of the earth from orbit, one with North America featured, one with Africa featured and one with Asia featured, will they say that there are infact three flat earths then? On an unrelated note, Kneel before Zod! |

Edited by: Mr Reeth on 25/07/2009 06:21:34 Thanks for putting me in your sig Munchees.
I have a friend who is on that forum all the time arguing that the Earth is flat and all the science is part of some conspiracy. He doesn't actually believe it though. He is in sales and he claims that arguing for something as impossible as a flat Earth is a great and fun mental****rcise for him.
This actually reminds me a lot about the trolls or whatever in Iceland. Nobody believes it, they just have fun pulling peoples legs. I think it's pretty funny that so many here are taking it seriously.
And why the hell is****rcise being censored?

No, they'll say you faked the pictures.

No, you just enter the plane, sit down, sleep, get off the plane again, and that's it. It also works if you believe that earth is flat. You may even be able to fly the plane (not sure about this - I never tried it). Only if you are the guy who calculates the shortest route for the plane, you can't compete with someone who does the same thing and does not believe earth is flat.
The flat earth theory survived until (almost?) into our times, because it worked. And it still works for most practical purposes of living on this planet, with a few exceptions as the one I described above.
It's the same with the theory of relativity. Strictly speaking, non-relativistic dynamics are wrong. However, as long as you are not dealing with stuff that moves at speeds close to the speed of light, it works even better than relativistic dynamics, because the math is more simple.
Of course, these people don't believe that earth is flat because they want to avoid some unnecessary spherical geometry. They do so because they want to troll, and this thread shows that they are successful.

nasa allegedly spends their entire budget on faking it all - fake pictures and video included.
