Thank you dounglips,
I hear your argument and, for one of the first times, agree with you. I will try to whip my arguments back into shape. While you may regret this in the future (because I might grow as a debater and shred some of your arguments), it is very nice of you to help me now.
It was nice debating with you and I hope to see your comments in later discussions.

Hello douglips,
Apparently my argument wasn't completely foolproof, but some of my more watchful friends, like the faithful Tumeni, can easily disprove your disagreement against my argument. Also, Wikipedia is an EXTREMELY unreliable source, so (much like you said about my argument) I can use your own quote against you: "Easy mistakes like this (for you, citing Wikipedia) lead to flat earthers (or Real Earthers, as I will now call it) pointing out your shortcomings and then ignoring anything you might have to say that's correct,"
So now that you have cited a COMPLETELY unreliable source, why should I trust the things you said earlier? How do I know that you didn't go to Wikipedia, type down the information you want to use, and then cite that.
This little discussion was a perfect example of the problem with this whole debate. It goes like this:
     1. Someone asks a legitimate question to flat earthers.
     2. A flat earther tries to answer this question, but has no evidence and a very weak answer
     3. Someone disproves the flat earther completely and makes their own accurate argument
     4. The flat eather disses the second person and then tries to disprove their argument, without providing any evidence
     5. And the cycle goes on with evidence spewing out of the Real Earth side, and a drop or two coming out of the Flat Earth side
Why can't we have a judge and a jury to finally say once and for all who's right and who is horribly wrong? Can someone please organize this debate?

Hello Concerned Citizen, apparently we share the same views, the only difference is that I am the one concerned about you. Yes, it does make sense that the astronauts would get a better signal then you in your shed. First of all, the astronauts are closer to the satellites and satellites can pick up signals, so of course they will get a better signal than someone on earth who has obstructions slightly preventing that signal to reach them (Example: you in your shed). Another piece of evidence: Mt. Everest has 4G Wifi on top because of all the satellites that are closer to them then us closer to earth.
Also, tell me one thing: what does the government benefit from lying to us that the earth is actually on a little Frisbee floating through space?
My evidence from your quotes at the end of you statement, I can tell that you are a Christian. Try this verse and see if you still believe in a flat earth: Isaiah 40:22: “(God) sits above the circle of the earth.”
Time to make your choice Mr. Concerned Citizen, one religion of the other, flat earth or the bible.
And to answer your last line, I would like you to continue. It would humor me to continue tearing down your petty arguments of fantasy. And what's a sheeped one? Was that an attempt at a diss? If so, keep trying and maybe you'll make me laugh a little less than usual.
I'll waiting for a response...

Hey Flat Earthers,
I have seen zero evidence proving the existence of the flat earth. All you guys say to OUR evidence is that the government has lied about it. But do YOU have any evidence that they lied? I have only seen a argument, with no foundation. How can we disprove anything if there is nothing to disprove other than an idea that has 'unknown laws' (that little phrase is why I started this whole argument anyway).
The fact is that YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE. A scientific debate is one where "there is a major stack of evidence for each position"*. We (those against flat earth) have major stacks of evidence, while you guys have little to none.
GIVE ME SOMETHING EVEN SLIGHTLY PLAUSIBLE TO DISPROVE PLEASE.

Guys! Have you ever been in a plane? You can clearly see the curvature of the earth. Unless you guys change your hypothesis by saying that its a" 'flat curved earth', then your whole argument is completely disproved.
Just. Please. Go. Into. A. Plane. And. Look. Out. The. Window. And. See. Your. Argument. Falling. Apart. At. The. Seams.
Next..why hasn't anyone just walked to the edge of the earth?  Why aren't there any pictures? Of course your going to say: the government stopped it! But what are they trying to hide?! Answer: Nothing other than Antarctica.
Also, during the Cold War, the USSR and the USA were trying to see who could get to the moon and back. It was the great space race. But how can there we a race in space with out space existing? Those two countries were enemies. If the USSR wanted to shame the US government in front of it's people, the could have easily gone to the 'edge of the world' and taken a quick little photo and disproved the US's feats in space. Boom. The whole US government would be called a fake.
So why didn't they? Here's an answer: because space exists and a flat earth doesn't.
Also AllAroundTheWorld says that GPS's are fakes. Well I have one that was made in Africa. That little country could EASILY threaten the US government that it will reveal all of it's secrets about the flat earth (which doesn't exist by the way) and get a bunch of money. Why haven't they done it? Same reasons as the Russians: a round earth exists and a flat earth doesn't.
Please just common sense and realize that the earth isn't a disk floating around in - whatever you think it is 'floating around' in - and go get some REAL EVIDENCE!

Okay, I can tell that you are a flatearther...
So basically MeGusta asked a bunch of really good questions and your answer was basically just: "it can all be explained by otherwise unknown laws of nature." Well how to you believe it if all the evidence is 'unknown'. There IS evidence, but you say 'it can be explained by unknown laws', but if it is unknown, then how do you know they even exist. From what I've seen about this whole thing, it's all just a bunch of unknowns hiding behind petty arguments that hase no evidence supporting it.
Secondly, you said this is a theory. Well, a theory is defined as "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world,"
Key words there: WELL-SUBSTANTIATED.
In my opinion, 'unknown laws' can not support a theory, an idea, or even if this whole thing was just a joke, it's a VERY badly supported one. At least TRY to support it instead of blatantly saying it is unknown.
PLEASE do something better with your time, like even just sitting on the sidewalk would be a better than this, because sidewalks are ACTUALLY exist.
