Title: Morons. Most*
Post by: Getoboy on October 23, 2016, 04:09:07 PM
I can't believe this is the topic for which you spend so much energy. Your flat earth was disproved centuries ago. This site HAS to be the biggest troll on the internet. Faked the space program? To what end? No such thing as gravity? Fools. To think some of you are educated past the 3rd grade is unbelievable.

Are you calling all members of this site morons? Wouldn't that include yourself?

While I have done moronic and sometimes truly stupid things, I was referring to anyone who truly this world is disc shaped.

Better?

Quality round earth logic here. It has a bit of everything. Ad hominem attacks, non-sequiturs, and a lack of evidence or even coherent thought. Well done.

Come on, guys. A huge ice wall that is Antarctica? An entire world of scientists are keeping this a secret for no reason other than to save face? Trillions of dollars spent worldwide just to keep a secret? This has all the footnotes of every single conspiracy theory out there. From Chemtrails to lizard people in the Senate. We know how planets are formed. We know gravity exists. This "society" is backwards, moronic and smacks of religious zealousy.

Well I am happy to hear you are not calling me a moron at least. I discovered this site a month or two ago. I was truly amazed to find a group who truly believe the earth is flat.

You literally provided no evidence for any of your claims made here.

Since you know gravity exists, maybe you can teach us plebs how it works? What is the mechanism that makes gravity do what you think it does?

I'm not alone, but I think the FES and these websites are really "spoofs".....As one critic put it  : "One big hoax or one big joke."
But they can be fun, entertaining and even educational if you don't take any of the flat earth nonsense seriously.
To say nothing of the fact that there is no accurate flat earth map of the entire earth or that the earth looks like the Unipolar or Bipolar Azimuthal Equidistant Projections of the globe.

Can you point out where I said that? I'm pretty sure I haven't made such claims in this thread. Rather, I've simply asked the person making claims to provide evidence for said claims. Given that no evidence has been provided, we can assume that OP is just parroting nonsense without applying any sort of critical thinking.

I should think by now anyone who has been on these websites for any amount of time will recognize whether "round earthers" or "flat earthers" are the ones who have  "given no evidence or just parroting nonsense without applying any sort of critical thinking."

It's not just scientists ! NASA is the biggest liar and worst enemy of the FES. In addition to all the navies and all the airlines and shipping companies are in on this Great Round Earth Conspiracy. In other words everyone except the FES......except the FES of course !....According to the FES. (   LOL

You're the only one making these nonsensical assertions. It happens time and time again in your posts. I question your honesty and intellectual integrity. You aren't interested in discussion, you just want to be your own echo chamber. Maybe try making an honest attempt once in a while. Or, at least stop regurgitating the same nonsense post after post. Yes, we get you think it's a parody, or that you think it should be the "what if the earth was flat" society, or that you were allegedly in the navy something something.

Cool.  The good old "you prove it" method of debate followed by the clever addition of limiting it to this thread.  You are representing your type quite well.  Even if one of us had the time or inclination to dig through your 4248 posts and find evidence that you've said such a thing you'd still throw a childish tantrum while screaming that you're speaking only in the context of this thread.

Please do try harder.

And now it's your turn to fall back to ad hominem attacks while also chastising someone for endlessly repeating themselves and wanting to be their own echo chamber.  Isn't this site set up to be an echo chamber for people such as yourself, people who really believe the earth is flat?

Considering you posting frequency I'd say that you rather enjoy your little echo chamber.

That was a solid triple post, friend. I think you're very confused, and seem to lack basic requisite knowledge for this thread. I'm sorry if simple logic is too much for you, but throwing tantrums reflects poorly on you as well as your fellow round earthers. I'd suggest going back and reading the thread again. If you have an actual point to make, or want to discuss something, I'd be happy to.

Here is a point . Do you dare answer ?
What is the distance from the earth to the moom ?
You give me your "flat earth answer" and how you arrived at it and I will give you my "round earth answer" and how I arrived at it.
IMHO it is the flat earthers who are the ones throwing the tantrums. LOL.

Sure, I'll "dare" to answer. I can't say for sure as I've never attempted to measure the distance from the earth to the moon. If you're asking do I know what the accepted round earth measurement is, then yes. I also know what the flat earth measurement is, at least relative to this particular FE community.

Did you have a point to make with any of this?

The point is that the distance from the earth to the moon has been a well known accepted fact for quite some time and has been proven many times since by many methods.
The point is that flat earth estimates of the distance are just one more example of the flat earth fantasy and absolute rubbish.
Of course just about anything else about flat earth is the same.
The only defense that flat earth has ever demonstrated is the denial of reality.
You did not say how you arrived at your answer.
I arrived at mine from the known estimates and from verification by trusted sources such as measurements by laser beam measurements  by astronomical observatories
and measurements  by amateur radio operators ln their "Moon Bounce" operations.

I suppose I arrived at my RE answers through the various physics and astronomy courses I've taken, as well as the labs. For FE, I tend to refer to the FAQ and wiki, although it is a bit dated and could use some work. I'm glad to see that you haven't taken any measurements of your own though, good to know that I'm not alone in that regard.

I'd also suggest you learn to make use of the edit button. You RErs seem to have great difficulty with that in this thread. It's fine though because at least you're convinced the earth is round.

I cannot find an "edit button" anywhere. All the buttons I can find are:

Ah, another typical post from a round earther whose understanding of something is limited to their personal exposure to it. It serves to illustrate why you are a round earther, as it seems you can't step outside your little bubble. This may come as a shock, but not everyone does the exact same thing as you. I, for example, primarily browse this site on my mobile device using the Tapatalk app. It very much has an "edit" button. I can even provide a screenshot if you'd like to see it, or you can even install it yourself for a firsthand account. So yes, you answered your own premise, you are "one of those ignorant RErs" in this case by the literal definition of the word.

Aside from you being totally wrong (another common round earther theme), it was obviously clear what was being explained. So, if there's anything else you want to profess your ignorance of for all to see, feel free.

Wow, what did I do to get a serve like that?

I, quite correctly, point out out that "I cannot find an edit button anywhere."  Yes, I took a dig at your flat earth, but only after your dig at your own labelling of Globe supporters as "RErs".

I guess you are feeling so defensive of the flat earth with no reasonable explanations for so many observations:
The sharp horizon, especially at sea on a clear day,
Lunar eclipses,
Sunrise and sunsets,
The constant size of the sun and almost constant of the moon from rising to setting,
The directions and times of sunrises and sunsets,
etc, etc. 
And, before you ask, I have look up "the Wiki" and read quite a lot ENAG.

PS I do not use Tapatalk, there is nothing that I have seen to suggest it is useful, so maybe you are being unreasonable to expect users to be familiar with something not on their screen!

What debate was even taking place in this thread? It belongs in Angry Ranting because that is all OP's post was. I get that you don't understand context, but please take moment to read the thread and pay attention so you don't continue to look foolish.

All you do is hide behind your eloquent fashion, pointing fingers at others lack of intellect, contributing with nothing but ad hominem attacks.

Go outside every once in a while, keyboard warrior.
I am sorry if I upset you, as that was not my intention. I would suggest you try not taking things so personally.

Touchy, touchy! Aren't we?
Not at all.

Wow, what did I do to get a serve like that?
Well, you made a snarky post trying to be clever. All I did was point out that there may be things you aren't aware of, so melodramatic nonsense like you posted isn't necessary. A simple question would have worked.

I, quite correctly, point out out that "I cannot find an edit button anywhere." 
Your ignorance is irrelevant.

Yes, I took a dig at your flat earth, but only after your dig at your own labelling of Globe supporters as "RErs".
It is odd that you have been around here for quite a while, but don't seem to pay much attention. Labeling globe earth supporters as RErs is not a dig, it is a common colloquial term used here. Just as flat earth supporters are frequently referred to as FErs.

I guess you are feeling so defensive of the flat earth with no reasonable explanations for so many observations:
The sharp horizon, especially at sea on a clear day,
Lunar eclipses,
Sunrise and sunsets,
The constant size of the sun and almost constant of the moon from rising to setting,
The directions and times of sunrises and sunsets,
etc, etc. 
And, before you ask, I have look up "the Wiki" and read quite a lot ENAG.
All of the observations are accounted for in FET. You say that you have read some of the reference material. I would suggest going back and doing it again. Also, how is this remotely relevant to you not knowing there is actually an "edit" button?

PS I do not use Tapatalk, there is nothing that I have seen to suggest it is useful, so maybe you are being unreasonable to expect users to be familiar with something not on their screen!
That is fine, a lot of people don't like it. I find it very handy for checking posts here on mobile, because the layout makes it very fast to peruse the latest posts. I am not being unreasonable as I don't expect anyone to be familiar with it. I do expect if someone is going to make a long-winded, grandstanding post to try to be witty, that they take a few seconds before making themselves look foolish as you have done previously. It was petty snark that was unnecessary and added nothing to the discussion. Not a big deal really, as I have come to expect that of RErs, I was just taking a moment to point it out.

You seem to like playing the role of the pedant.
I would suggest you first look up what the word pedant means, as it is apparent that you currently do not. All I did was reply to an excessively long, snarky post that could have been avoided with a simple question.

May I suggest you take a better look at this site and learn that there isn't, actually, an edit button.
Ah, I see you haven't listened to my earlier advice of going back and reading the thread again. I assure you if you do it will all (hopefully) make sense. I am simply trying to help you not look so clueless. If you have any questions after reading the thread again, I will be happy to assist. Take care!

I was going to refrain from any further remarks, but I just couldn't resist.
When a flat earther ever says anything about the flat earth that ever makes any sense The Evil One is going to start chipping icicles in his Netherworld Abode.

I'd also suggest you learn to make use of the edit button. You RErs seem to have great difficulty with that in this thread. It's fine though because at least you're convinced the earth is round.

You say "learn to make use of the edit button. You RErs seem to have great difficulty with that in this thread."

I am sorry, I must be one of those ignorant RErs (as you incorrectly label us, I thought the earth was a Globe, it's your Pizza Planet that's just round).
I cannot find an "edit button" anywhere. All the buttons I can find are:

I can find no "Edit Button", but then my wife says that I'm a male and males can never find anything, so where is this magic "Edit Button"?
Rabinoz If it's not a "Pizza Planet" , how do you account for all those Pizza Huts and Pizza Inns  ?
When was the last time you saw a Globe Hut or a Globe Inn ?

There is a Globe Inn (http://www.globeinn.net/), a cute little B&B in Pennsylvania.
And another Globe Inn Marsh Rye (http://globeinnmarshrye.com/), a restaurant in East Sussex.
And another Globe Inn (http://www.theglobeatwells.co.uk/), a restaurant and motel in Wells-Next-To-The-Sea.
I could go on.  The British Isles appear to be positively littered with businesses calling themselves "Globe Inn"

BOOM, guess the earth is round after all!

I did some searching and found some Globe Inns  in the USA, too.
There is a Globe Hut which seems to be a website for single travelers.
They must be some other members of The Conspiracy.

And there is a Pizza  Inn in Globe, Arizona.

 :P You just don't have the "literary touch" that I do!  :P
          I go for the alliteration, as in "Precious Pepperoni Pizza Planet",
          though I guess we could have the "Gyrating Gigantic Glorious Globe".
          That's certainly far better than "Gluey Gooey Glutinous Globule".

Junker did suggest that the OP indicated that the whole thread should have been moved to "Angry Ranting" (though it's ended up as "Complete Nonsense") and I agree 100%.
The OP was quite over the top!

From working on things like certain types of radar systems and microwave relay systems and having been at sea in things relating to the horizon and the distance to it, I have always wondered where that flat earth idea of "the indistinct blur" came from .
Maybe it was just made up because it would have to  be that way if the earth was flat. It would possibly be true if the earth was flat. But it is true that the earth isn't flat. And that is the way we see the horizon as it really is because the earth is really a globe.
Or maybe it came from Rowbotham's observations on a foggy night in Olde London Town.
Or, as was suggested on a previous post, it was because Rowbotham had faulty vision and that was what he saw.
Either way that flat earth idea is one of the most obvious flat earth fallacies and among the easiest to de-bunk.
Maybe some flat earther has an explanation ?

I feel I must correct an earlier mistake in this thread.

After doing some digging I've found that Junker was correct, he truly isn't a pedant.  I have, I believe, found that which is a better fit in Sciolist and Delettante.

Thank you Junker for guiding me to the truth.

I've been thinking he is somewhat similar to the Wizard of Oz. And it makes sense because Oz is kind of a magical place where the impossible is possible and it's surrounded by a flat desert which cannot be crossed. This could easily lead one to believe the earth was flat.

Maybe Rowbotham started out with just an idea for writing "something similar to the Wizard Of Oz"  and found audiences  which developed into the FES ?

All of these could possibly describe most flat earthers instead of "morons" ?
Flat Earth seems to be of those who either know nothing or do not understand something and deny that it  exists or is a fake for that reason alone .
They do not seem to want to find the facts or study about these but only rely on "this is what I think."
This seems an absurd manner of thought and doesn't seem to make any sense. It doesn't work that way in the real world.
Maybe, as "Round Earthers", we should be more tolerant of "Flat Earthers" and just regard them as some sort of a religiious cult, as weird as it  seems.
