I cant believe this, there are actually people who believe the Earth is flat. They think there is an Ice Wall at the edge, and the government guards it, and that there is a large blanket covering it so we cant see it. They also think that the pictures of the Earth are made in 'Computer Programs' and thats where all the NASA money is going into.

The bullshit website/theory.

Do these individuals realize How many Laws of Physics they are Bastardizing with this "Theory"?
Actully...I think that main thing is makes me scratch my head is "Who the Fuck cares?"

This shit is trivial and petty as all get out.

Conspiracy Theories...Fun for the entire family. :roll:

I doubt 8 year olds would be able to type like that, get so much data, and run a website that big.

It's a joke.

They haven't 'proven' anything. They just came up with random information to compensate for their lack of knowledge, and eventually formed it into this hypothesis.
And no, it doesn't deserve to be a theory. It doesn't work "some of the time." It works none of the time. Hence, hypothesis. Not Law, not theory. Hardly hypothesis. More like... stupidity.

QUICK! rush to the slots! maybe we'll land on "FLAT" >_>

Highlight from the FAQ:
The Flat Earth Society wrote:Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?"

A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator. They are located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light" and the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.

This made me laugh.

Yeah, they may be able to come up with some reasoning as to how the earth could be flat, but really, Occham's Razor people!
What they were really saying wrote:Q: "Are most or all FE's Biblical literalists, who feel like their religious belief system would be threatened by a round (i.e. spherical) earth, or are there any atheists/agnostics who are FE's as well?"

A: Well, maybe not all of us... ¬_¬

You guys are all a bunch of fucking idiots. The earth is flat and the government is hiding it from us.

Listen, years ago I was on an expedition with my uncle. (he studies glaciers and all that shit)
So we're off the coast of Antarctica when all of the sudden we see this massive ice wall. Around the ice wall we saw around 30-50 guards and a few AA guns. We also noticed that they were hiding all kinds of things there. Copies of Duke Nukem Forever, Windows 8, Elvis, The Phantom Console. Shit was insane, we could see the moon/space and all that jazz. Then a couple of the guard soldiers spotted us, they chased us down in their hovercrafts, (yeah they had space alien technology) luckily we escaped. 3 years later my uncle mysteriously disappeared from his house. On the ground there were hovercraft tracks. I fear they will come for me next.
