The flat earth society
www.theflatearthsociety.org

My favorite from the FAQ:

Quote
Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?"

A: There is a vast ice wall that keeps the water where it is. This explains why you can find a vast plane of ice when you travel south. The height of the Ice Wall is hotly debated. Several possible models exist and are supported by different FE proponents:

  - The Ice Wall (possibly synoymous with the Ross Ice Shelf) is 150 feet tall, and holds in the oceans. Atmosphere/atmolayer is either contained by another means or is universal.

  - The Ice Wall is between 40 and 50 thousand feet high, and holds in not only the world's oceans, but 40000-50000 feet of atmolayer as well.

Antarctica as a continent does not exist - rather it is a ring of ice around the entire circumference of the Earth..


500 years after Columbus we still have these people. I read somewhere else sometime ago there is a congressman from Texas who believes this stuff.......... 
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Re: The flat earth society
We shouldn't bother them I'm sure they have enough ass holes posting threads around there.

 
Re: The flat earth society
Apparently these people haven't taken a very close look at any satellite images.  Sure they can say the Earth is circular in shape, but I can only hope they would have noticed half of it missing on any particular satellite photo...
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

  
Re: The flat earth society
They would probably say that the satellite photos were faked by the government (CONSPIRACY!). :rolleyes:

--EPIC LONG PRO-FLAT EARTH POST--

The response?
"Because they're not giant ****ing retards like you."

:lol: :lol: pwned! :lol: :lol:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Well, I have everything but the nasty old jeans, they all got too small.  I even have a pair of chinks (smaller version of chaps)  Comes in handy when riding through thick brush.  Make sure to duck if you ever ride through the thick willows by the creek.  Branches and eyes don't mix.  :arrr:

These people are stupid.  Or ironic.  But one way or another its silly...like allot of other things.  My tolerance for this stuff continues to diminish as the evidence is very apparent.

I'm stirring the point anyway.

Their site doesn't indicate a plausible flat-earth explanation for the horizon effect on the ocean and the approximate 12 mile distance at which curvature becomes visible.  Unfortunately their registration doesn't work for me so I can't demand an answer.  Someone else bait them :P
"In the beginning, the Universe was created.  This made a lot of people very angry and has widely been regarded as a bad move."  [Douglas Adams]

 
I know it's wrong to hate people cause their different, but this is ridiculous.

We should fire them into space with a cannon without a space suit. For the 15 seconds they live in the vacuum of space, they can see the earth and then tell us it isn't flat.

I wonder what kills you first when your in space with no suit: the pressure or the cold?
Of course, there is the cosmic radiation, and not to mention the lack of air.

They can tell us that after they tell us the earth is round :P
Fun while it lasted.
