So this is spam. How nice.

Do not mock we who feel that the world is flat, or the glorioussuperskybeardedone and his crusading warriors will take his revenge...

I want to ride out on your quest

the world is not flat, ptolemy proved it by observing shadows cast at different locations at the same time.

Spam? No just voicing my opinions. The 'horizon' is, in fact, caused by the refractive index of light distorting the image of the sky. This is why mountains look small from a distance.

Much on this forum is a pointless rehash of topics done-to-death a 100 times.

Well, I called it spam because you said "discuss" and then "please don't". Seems kinda spammy.

Also, wasn't it you that did that other thread where the first post just said discuss? About drugs and guns, or something? And I'm fairly sure that this would be treated as spam, not that I plan to report you for it, but some people would.

You can't prove the world is spherical. From where I'm standing, it looks flat to me. :rolleyes:

Satellites? I've never seen one. You can fake photos all you want. Send me up in a 'spaceship', ROFL, what were they smoking when they came up with that, maybe I'll believe you. :rolleyes:

Also, wasn't it you that did that other thread...
No, it wasn't.

I just get frustrated how this whole forum never advances. This was in reply to several other "Discuss" threads, which pick an inane topic at random and then don't contibute anything to it.

Actually, look toward the ocean and see if you can spot a ship moving away.

It'll appear as if the bottom is being cropped. So, unless we live on one giant slope, the Earth is spherical.

Alrighty, then, my mistake.

Admirable aim, but really doomed from the start, I'm afraid.

Why is this conversation popping up on forums now? Is this the new trendy thing to do? Claim the world is flat?

There's a distinct lack of people who have fallen off the edge of the world when they reached the "other side". The earth is spherical. Hoy.

That's it. Colodia just proved that we live on one giant slope, and gravity pulls up! All hail Colodia, king of science!

Please don't pick on the pagans, neo-pagans, heathens, neo-heathens, or for that matter, asatru - there's a whole thread here already...

Not picking on anyone, it's a song quote (like the two beneath it, same song) I just chucked in a bit randomly. No offense meant.

I didn't think you did - which you made clear by your *enjoys tunes in head*.
It just struck me that you used "pagan" after I had a rather lively discussion on the other thread about exactly that word :D

Yea, that means the Australians can't fall of the earth because they live on the bottom. :D

The World is Flat (A brief History of the 20th Century) by
Thomas L. Friedman

A wonderful look atthe facts about the new FLAT global economy, an excellent topic for discussion--who else here has read it?

the world is obviously flat, its also balanced on a walnut and circled by a magical carp that eats everyone and everything that comes over the edge...

i mean... what else could it be?

Amorphous. It was flat, then round, then flat, then spherical again. Who knows, maybe the next one will be cubical :P

By gum. Terry Pratchet had it right.

You're all heathens.

It's a rhombus.

The World does not exist in the third dimension. An alien told me that. Then he shot me because, he said : "My mind was 3-D and didn't belong here". What a jerk, he doesn't even live near here.

The world is flat because the bible says so. The bible says the heavens are a tent, and you put a tent over something that is flat. The bible also says the earth has pillars. If the round earthists are right then where are the pillars? Anyone with brains can see that they must be on the other side of the flat earth.

Basically the world is flat because the bible wouldn't lie. In the same way, Lord Voldemort is real because the Harry Potter books wouldn't lie.

You're all heathens.

If it was a rhombus, it could not be an oyster. Therefore you are wrong.

Rhombi are flat.

So's Discworld, but that's kind of the point:)

Mine's not. But I'm a girl, so that is a good thing.

Wow, didn't expect this of all threads to involve breast talk almost right off the bat... :D

the world is flat...

if you consider that the earth itself displaces space and time due to its mass in space, the resulting combination of displaced space/time and the tangible earth equates to two equally opposing forces, thus making the entirety negated to 'zero'. it might not be flat to our perception but it is flat in terms of the physics of the universe and what is beyond.

Rhombi are flat.

It's RHOMBUSES, not RHOMBI. Like Octopuses, not Octopi.

The world is locally flat.

Actually, look toward the ocean and see if you can spot a ship moving away.

It'll appear as if the bottom is being cropped. So, unless we live on one giant slope, the Earth is spherical.

Oh yeah? Go to Iowa. Stand in the middle of a field. The world is flat.

The world only appears round from space due to the curved nature of space/time. If that effect could be negated you would see the apparent sphere of the world correct itself to its true disk-like shape. :D

It's RHOMBUSES, not RHOMBI. Like Octopuses, not Octopi.

And nemesises, not nemeses. And quantities of information are called datums, not data.

For the scientist/mathematician viewpoint, like any of you care. It is possible to create coordinate transfomation in which a sphere, or any 3D shape, is 'flat' according to that coordinate system. For what do we consider flat? One dimension never changes while the other two can. For a sphere, spherical coordinates we generated for this purpose. Along any point of a sphere, theta and phi change while r does not. It's just a mapping from one coordinate system to another. THUS the earth can possibly be flat. :D

I know you guys love me.

And yet Sun Haze can make things look like they are above the surface or ground so are you saying i can float in mid air?

The Kansas Board of Education strikes again! :D

Yes, the earth is flat, was created by God in one six-day period a bit over 6000 years ago, and ended on December 31, 1999. Everybody knows that!

But I guess I should be proud that I've earned a stalker...I must have donr something that made someone think I was important.

Are you a girl stalker or a boy stalker (meaning you not me)?

It's quite handy actually, like this one time when my binoculars broke I gave a stalker a hair and he gave me his. (too bad about the voodoo doll he made out of it *giant needle appears sticking into me* Ahh not this again!)

Guess....it really doesn't matter...no one here wished me to unleash the horror.
