  1.  @jackdurden466  Politics is full of these. Just like entrepreneurs, they float on confidence.

  2.  @leighatkins22  If you're making a case for believing that FE shit, all you have done is shown us all that you have been watching and believing FE vids that serve only to convince the weak and stupid that the Earth is not a globe. Those with half a brain will have noticed that none of those vids provided evidence one FOR that fantasy, like a big ice wall, flat oceans, a "dome", a nearby Sun and Moon, etc, if only because they don't exist.

  3. The obverse of that is the danger of shit falling in to replace the brains, like FE shit, and various other conspiracy driven fantasies.

  4.  @johnhealer8375  Charisma is a burden rather than a gift. Resisting corruption seems beyond those who have lots of it. And it's a formidable weapon in the hands of those who are keen to use it to enslave those who come into contact with them.

  5. People said the same about Scientology, and look how many dumdums have been captured by it.

  6. Well, they are certainly trapped in an echo chamber created by their priests.

  7.  August VonMackensen  Speaking of a fragile egg shell understanding - where's YOUR refutable evidence for your Big Ice Wall, your "dome" and your nearby Sun and Moon? None, right. All found in FE vids, no doubt, that serve only to convince the weak and stupid that the Earth is not a globe - with zip evidence. Thought so. However, you do get points for clinging to your fantasy in the face of a total lack of evidence for any of it. BTW, how old are you - 5?

  8. Confused much? Just stay with conventional geography, which provides all the answers, and keep away from the flat Earth bullshit - it will do your head in.

  11. Nice bit of fiction. Got any more?

  12.  @GuardianSoulkeeper  Flat Earther morons can "explain" everything but predict nothing. That's the hallmark of pseudoscience.

  13. Dumbass. There was a camera attached to the LLM to witness Armstrong's first step onto the moon's surface, and there was a camera left behind to witness the takeoff of the LLM. There was NO camera on the surface until we put it there.
    2
  14.  @MrSirhcsellor  Ditto. I'd love to debunk any claims for a flat Earth but all I have seen so far is unfounded criticism of the patently globe Earth. There has been no evidence at all to show that the Earth is flat, like the alleged existence of a big ice wall, a dome, a nearby Sun and Moon, and so forth. Just hot air and pissweak excuses from flattards.
    2
  15. What a bunch of crap! Evidence? None, right? Just mindless parroting of FE shit you read somewhere.
    2
  16. Another prominent flattard, Bob Knodel, demonstrated the 15 degree per hour drift of Earth with a very expensive ring laser gyro. He was trying to show that the Earth was stationary. Well done Bob. Way to go. Dickhead.

  17. Went back in time, more like. Watch it again.

  18. Who, and why?

  19. Yes, that FE shit is nothing but indoctrination by those FE priests.

  20. False. Try again.

  22.  @haroldrathbone1228  Yes, anybody who believes all that flat Earth shit is seriously deluded.

  23.  @jamaldeep13  No, he won't do that, it might conflict with what he already "knows".

  24. What a pile of FE shit.

  25.  @voja42  If you stand on the middle 8 kms of the Pontchartrain Causeway you can't see land in any direction. Flattards don't have an explanation for that one. Well, not one that makes any sense, that is.

  26. Time to go back on the meds.
    2
  27.  @madhatterwhitby901  Well, if he restricted himself to asking reasonable questions and stating facts he wouldn't attract comments like mine. And, as you seem to be a flattard, maybe you need to consider a course of something to enable you to discover the real world.
    2
  28.  @rafa20  Why do so many Americans feel fatally drawn to every silly conspiracy belief doing the rounds? All US schools should have a subject called Bullshit Detection taught from Grade 1 on, at differing levels. Using elementary investigative and validation techniques from science would help, and maybe encourage a few more to consider science a bit more seriously, or at least not mistrust science per se.
    2
  29. Ever heard of the conservation of momentum? It seems not. Nowhere as exciting as believing FE shit on YouTube, is it?

  30. Oooh, watch out for the evil NASA bogeymen!!

  31.  @bethaniavargas7449  If you argue for assigning equal status to flat Earthers when it comes to discussing the shape of our patently oblate spheroidal planet, one can only wonder at your stake in all this. The shape of the planet has been known for around 2300 years. There is NO evidence whatever for the possibility that it is any other shape. If you wish to appear impartial, or to align yourself with flat Earthers, do so by all means, but don't for a second believe that you are somehow introducing balance to an already dead debate.

  32. He certainly dislikes those who misrepresent their religious beliefs in order to support the shit that is flat Earth.

  33.  @CoffeeAndBusiness  He may have been subjected to the same sort of abuse that Professor Dave received when he was simply trying to educate flattards. You can only take so much. I guess the temptation to go for the soft underbelly is irresistible after a while.

  37. Keep taking the meds.

  38.  @pablosqueezy9054  Well, I certainly haven't experienced a flat Earth. That qualifies as a supernatural thing that can't be explained. Or seen, or felt, or measured....

  39. Antipsychotics movement - look it up. And take some.

  40. And what are the "actual facts"? With evidence, please.

  41. I doubt that conspiracy driven flat Earthers are doing anything similar to what I am doing.

  42. Well, they have to make it up. Nothing in the real world supports any of it.

  43.  @TheVisionEnlightened78  Really? Sorry, but YouTube facts are very hard to come by when it comes to conspiracy beliefs. Just repeating what other conspiritards say here does not constitute evidence.

  44.  @TheVisionEnlightened78  To borrow from MIB, you are starting to sound as if you're from out of town.

  45. The only truth on display here is the 100% lack of evidence for your fantasy flat Earth. Go find your Big Ice Wall or stfu.

  50.  @chainreaction8977 : Not sure what he proposed - taking scholars along to advise on war strategy maybe? Or bringing bloodthirsty warriors into the odd colloquium on philosophy? Or training people to be both, like him? In any case, the quote as it stands is one big non sequitur.

  55.  @truthseeker6442  And far better made elsewhere.

  56.  @truthseeker6442  Discuss it by all means. There's bound to be a vid somewhere that covers the topic of interest to you. The commenters may well have more to contribute to the discussion than would people attracted to the topic of a fantasy flat Earth. Go search YT - you're sure to find something related.

  57. If you read posts elsewhere by flat Earth maniacs, you get the distinct impression that NASA is the Antichrist personified.
    1
  58.  @GuardianSoulkeeper  Because otherwise nobody would bother to read that FE crap.
    1
  59.  @mohammadhashemi1771  Plenty of evidence to be found, and not just from the US. You just don't want to accept any of it. Your loss.

  60. Well, if you distil the essence of grain in the same way as the Scots, and drink a fair wodge of it, you can easily start to believe in a triangular/flat/hollow/etc Earth. That's going with the grain.
    1
  61. Sorry, but there is no evidence whatever to support that flat Earth crap. And the heliocentric model is not difficult to follow. Eight planets revolve around our Sun in a manner predicted by Kepler et al.

  62. And you show your ignorance.
    1
  63.  @bloodbathentertainment2397  Your source for statements like that is YouTube shitvids that serve only to convince the weak and stupid that the Earth is not a globe. Welcome to the cult.

  64. They may be mostly biblical literalists rather than members of a particular organized religion.

  66.  @lodestar9877  Wow, more unsubstantiated shit! Got any more? This is getting quite entertaining.

  67.  @lodestar9877  Time to go back on the antipsychotics. Your weird fantasies are taking over your life.

  73. Small quibble - the book came first, in 1873, many years before the Wright brothers got off the ground. Also, the equator runs into land masses here and there, which is rather inconvenient for shipping .

  74. Not even run out? Or LBW?

  75. Conspiracy beliefs float on confidence. They die when there is no evidence found to support them. 9/11, moon landing, flat Earth, antivaxx, 5G - the list of baseless conspiracy beliefs is impressive. They only trap the weak and stupid who have no idea how to fact check, and YT is not the place to look.

  76. Wrong conspiracy platform friend.

  90. Great research skills - not.
    1
  91.  @frejazz2  Well, why don't you do what countless others have done - research it yourself. Maybe you can start with asking yourself why ships disappear over the horizon as they do - from the bottom up. Of course, if you have already sided with the flat Earth morons and believe that ships can be "brought back" in their entirety with binoculars, then we both know on which side of the fence you stand, and further exploration would be wasted on you.

  92. There is only one side when it comes to the shape of our globe Earth.
    1
  93.  @genoweapon4800  Wait as long as you like. If you think that's the only source of evidence available, it tells me a lot about your ability to understand basic things about this planet. I won't waste my time telling you how I know as I feel sure you'll simply deny anything I say. Do your own research.
    1
  94.  @johngregory5424  So, using one fantasy as a guide to the existence of another fantasy. Nice.
    1
  95.  @szekelysandor9530  Would you like to share with us your argument for the existence of a flat Earth? If they are ideas that you support, please also include evidence, which must be by way of showing that the physical features exist (and NOT simply FE claims that the Earth is not a globe - they have all been debunked). In particular, I would like to see what holds in all those alleged flat oceans - an ice wall, apparently. Do you have refutable evidence for its existence? And please, not just photos of icebergs or of the Ross ice shelf - solid evidence showing that it is many thousands of kilometres in a circumference around a supposed pizza shaped flat Earth.
    1
  96.  @szekelysandor9530  Hmm, dodging the crucial question, I see. No big ice wall? FAIL.
    1
  97. If only because it must all be contrived, with nothing real to support any of it. Imagination is the first and maybe only prerequisite, after a trenchant and empty commitment to the belief that the Earth is not a globe.

  98.  @knightbeforedawn  Quite lucid, and therefore completely unintelligible to flattards, who will have stopped reading after "...destroys the FE hypothesis."
    1
  99.  @knightbeforedawn  Not hard to see why the US is not very successful at managing the pandemic when so many of its citizens have such warped beliefs about what is safe and what is not, driven primarily by various unsubstantiated, word-of-mouth/YT conspiracy beliefs that serve only to trap and mislead the weak and stupid. I wonder why you persevere in the face of such trenchant bloody mindedness. None of them are the least bit interested in anything that does not confirm their moronic beliefs.

  100. It's probably somewhat trite to suggest that others in our galaxy have solved the problem of covering vast distances without the physical limit of light speed. They may also have managed to solve problems like instant right angle, high speed maneuvering in space and the problems attendant upon managing inertia. We are so far behind this sort of understanding that it's no wonder nobody wants to suddenly present themselves with all the answers. Besides, until we overcome the desire to ruin and kill everything around us we won't be welcome anywhere. MIB wasn't far wrong when it was suggested that humanity would be regarded as little more than a malignant virus. Maybe we need to be sure not to solve the problems of travel before we grow up socially.
    1
  101.  @mackemsruleFTM  No wonder the US is having no end of trouble getting to grips with the pandemic. When you have a quarter of your people running around like headless chickens screaming "Conspiracy!" at anybody who tries to define or solve the problems, you can be sure that it will take years for it all to subside, if ever. And good ole YouTube is acting as a focal/fecal point for all these dumbass crazies.

  102.  @TheVisionEnlightened78  Maybe you do. Stop taking the brown pills.

  103.  @mackemsruleFTM  Not to mention all those insects that don't live for 40 days. And who cleaned out all the shit? And where was all the food stored? This Ark must have been the size of LA.

  104.  @mackemsruleFTM  I prefer the discovery that the Med Basin was drowned when the Atlantic broke through what is now the Gib Strait. That makes a far better explanation of the appearance of lots of water than the various Middle Eastern tales that abound.

  107. For a better and more thoroughgoing exposition, read the book, "The man who never was". Plenty more info therein, like the covering letter in the briefcase from one British general to another that vouched for both the courier and the contents of the briefcase, and written in tones of familiarity of one old school chum to another. Entirely credible, and maybe a crucial component of the deception.

  108. Your 9/11 "facts" don't belong here.

  109. Mind you, if the Earth had been accelerating continuously at that rate from rest for even 6000 years, it should have achieved the speed of light in a bit less than a year (assuming Newtonian physics, which is not a lot of use as we approach the speed of light). To say nothing of achieving infinite mass, which is also absurd. I think I'll stay with something a bit closer to reality.

  110. Watch the vid. The question is tongue in cheek.

  111. Maybe you should stop spouting that shit before you embarrass yourself any further.

  112.  @eyenfinityface-thecosmiclo2717  All of which demonstrates that Carlin had a defective conception of "average". Instead of taking cheap shots at those he considers his inferiors, maybe he should have done a bit of research to better inform his gratuitous insults. Intelligence is normally distributed in the population of the US. Average is taken to describe the number of cases falling between plus and minus one standard deviation, which is roughly 68% of all cases. Carlin appears not to be aware of the bottom 16%, or maybe he includes them in his definition of average. Read his quote again and you'll see what a nonsense it is.

  113.  @lilshortie8991  It makes even more sense when you know that flattards are the ones who took the brown pill. That FE shit had to come from somewhere.
