Guys, just a friendly reminder that you're in the upper fora, and this thread is not about the UK's political situation or the finer points of socialism. If you'd like to continue that part of the discussion, I'm happy to split the posts off to PR&S. Otherwise, please focus on the poll and its implications.

Meanwhile, I'm surprised to hear flat earthers say they don't think flat earthers are religious. Rowbotham and all the Victorian ones were certainly primarily motivated by their Biblical Literalism. And a lot of the foremost YouTube and facebook flat earthers are Christians.

But maybe it's just that the Bible defending ones stand out more when I run across them; I guess I shall have to rethink that.

So Tom isn't a Christian? That surprises me.
It's interesting that your experience is so different from my own. I make a point of avoiding YouTube FE'ers these day, which is likely where the difference comes into play.

I guess these are always the wonders of self-identifying groups. Your mileage will vary depending on who you interact with.

3123
This is an interesting observation, since it completely contradicts what vocal supporters of FET say. Most groups are either not explicitly religious, or explicitly non-religious. One has to wonder whether there is a "silent majority" going on.

Imagine that you believed you had stolen from yourself, and someone told you it wasn't true. How would you answer them?
Please, let's try to stay on topic. Take it to PR&S.

I have no favourites, and no way of determining whether or not there are life-supporting conditions for them until humankind encounters them.
You also have no way of determining whether or not other flat planes exist out there.

Look at, for instance;

Fish
Plankton

Life forms which exist in environments that we humans would find alien.
I don't think any reasonable person would consider fish or plankton to be extraterrestrial beings. As such, your argument does not address AATW's assertion in any meaningful way.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: This Is How Perspective Works
« on: May 19, 2018, 06:55:47 PM »
I propose that we move this to Science & Alternative Science, and split most of the responses away to an Angry Ranting thread, since they just comprise RE'ers talking about how irrational they find Flat Earthers and how superior they consider themselves.
Since there were no objections to this, I am now moving/splitting the thread and locking it.

3128
I see no reason why people like Pete and Tom can't moderate the Community and Media boards (2 and 4)to keep them neat and tidy. they won't be volatile boards. 
I already have a sheriff's badge, pardner.

That said, this seems to be a sensible direction. I fear that "Flat Earth Theory" will gobble up most of the traffic of the current top 3 boards, and that not much will change. Then again, perhaps the presence of the new boards will invite some additional contributions that we're currently not seeing. I'm cautiously optimistic.

3129
They will depend on the life form, surely?
That's okay - pick your favourite extraterrestrials. I'm just looking for an example to substantiate his point.

3130
conditions for life is not [universal]
Please provide a verifiable alternative set of conditions for life, one substantially different from that present on Earth.

3131
AATW, you are saying the same thing over and over. We've already heard it, and we've already disagreed. Please avoid posting content which does not contribute to the thread. Warned.

3132
If there the rest of the objects in the observable universe are spherical. How come earth is flat
If there the rest of the objects in the observable universe are devoid of life. How come earth has humans on it

Your question is a silly one for many reasons, but let's start with the most obvious one. You don't know that all other bodies are round. Indeed, you know for a fact that not all are.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Australia
« on: May 19, 2018, 07:49:04 AM »
How come some Flat Earthers think Australia isn real? Or is that one person?
"Australia doesn't exist" has been something of an inside joke among FE'ers for many years.

I suppose it is possible that someone does seriously believe it, but I find it highly unlikely.

We believe Australia isn't real because it isn't real.
Come on, Rushy, you're a mod. You can do better than that.

If this is not what one believes, might I ask, what is the Flat Earth belief based on?
What is the base fact that all flat earthers agree on that makes it seem real?
Much like with any other belief, this will vary from individual to individual. Any attempt at summing them up would be a misrepresentation.

it was indeed stolen from the other FE wiki.
There is no "other FE wiki" and nothing was "stolen". The state of the Wiki from before the split was used as a basis for the current version of it. Meanwhile, the pre-forked version was destroyed entirely.

Basically I love a different kind of freedom!
Taxation is theft, and theft is not freedom.

You just happen to love freedom a little less than last year
It's probably because I can never decide between the "strong" and not strong answers.

Flat Earth Community / Re: I’m new and need help!
« on: May 17, 2018, 10:24:08 AM »
If you have a question, please post it in a thread. There is no need for you to post a generic greeting message and wait for responses.

I'd strongly recommend familiarising yourself with the forum rules and the .

Locking.

Science & Alternative Science / Re: This Is How Perspective Works
« on: May 17, 2018, 09:07:28 AM »
I have to chime in, although probably not in the way you'd like me to. I'm wearing my dusted-off janitor outfit, you see.

Why is this thread in Flat Earth Debate? You are not debating anything, you're simply providing a statement of the RE model of perspective. I don't think anyone here is interested in telling RE'ers how their model does and doesn't work.

I understand why you want the content here, and, fair enough, if you plan using it in future debates then it's probably allowable. However, I propose that we move this to Science & Alternative Science, and split most of the responses away to an Angry Ranting thread, since they just comprise RE'ers talking about how irrational they find Flat Earthers and how superior they consider themselves.

Suggestions & Concerns / Re: favicons
« on: May 15, 2018, 08:32:26 PM »
Also I don't know if you can change the favicon on the cafe press shop, but that doesn't match either.
I believe that's impossible.

I'm surprised that you've seen the old favicon in the library - I was certain this would just match the homepage. I shall double check when I have a moment.

As for the other two, fair enough.

3140
I like where this is going - I'd certainly be on board with altering the homepage to change the tone slightly. The board structure will probably require some more discussion to make sure we get it right rather than just plunge into another suboptimal solution, but it could definitely happen!
