Hi All

I was wondering what the stats were here relating to the influence and change of opinion. I enjoy debating and learning people's points of view and I have gained a lot of knowledge from this and would love to know if anyone has changed their thinking on the Flat/Round debate from the resources available here.

I would really appreciate your time in answering.  :)

Is this the reason you decided to join TFES?

I'm here because I can't alligne myself with the racist anti semetic views that are held by nearly all the other flat earth sites, that really was my only mantra "How do I avoid these dudes and their racist philosophy'"
To be fair I did eventually find one other safe site but thats basically it.

So yeah,,,
If you are an ordinary person who believes that the earth is flat, then this forum is a safe harbour in a sea of sharks because it really is a jungle out there, (or an ocean, or whatever, mixing up metaphors now)

Nearly forgot:

And I really like the wiki here and think it is a great introduction to FET.
I have shown it to people who are interested in getting a quick rundown,
Thanks to the Information Age, we have an attention span of around three minutes,
So you need to keep things brief and to the point, and it does that perfectly.

What was I saying again  :P

A lie will make it around the world before the truth has time to put on its shoes.

Hi Dither

Cheers for your response

Yeah I find the subject fascinating and I love to hear other people's responses to my opinions and then allow myself reflection on my own thoughts. Being involved here has given me a lot to consider. When asked to prove the world is round I admit now there is a challenge which is great! It's not as big as the challenge to prove the world is Flat however so as yet I am still in the RE camp.......

Cheers

DA  ;D

Crazy idea, but what if the Earth was round.  :-\
