If you have ever rode a motorcycle, they have lenses that can be peeled off, so the rider doesn't have to worry about wiping, smearing, and cleaning them as he races. If you stack enough of these lenses your vision will be impaired. The atmosphere works the same way. Either a ball or flat, man can only see so far on either.

But objects come up the horizon, they don't come unblurred

Maybe he doesn't want to see that, like the churchmen who refused to look through Galileo's telescope.

There are dozens of fairly simple observations that show a flat earth to be impossible, but these guys just aren't willing to make them. Basic geometry is too complicated, so they go with "well it looks flat to me."

Yes, people are funny. There are many dozens of simple observations showing the official story of 911 to be impossible, but many guys just aren't willing to make them. It's called being in denial. "Well, the story looks good to me, and my government would never lie to me."

He'll have to check with Jones and Prager. Does he have to interject his 911 nonsense into every thread?

All these simple observations but yet you can't provide a single one that is honest or not completely wrong. The fact that you have to run away from all the questions asked of you is proof enough that deep down even you know you are full of it.

I wonder if you'll get an answer.

Seems to me that anyone debating against the "official conspiracy folks", no matter what the subject, is a "friend" to those opposed to the "official conspiracy folks" and will post with extreme care so as not to alienate any of those "friends".

It's the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality.
 
Re: The Earth Is Flat!!!

Anyone else blown away that this got 76 pages of responses??

If a reply is given I highly doubt it will be a yes or no response. It will be some narrative about some believing the liars in govt, and that it is no use discussing the topic with people of closed minds.

Will give the OP credit to admitting his flat earth believe is like a religion to him. If that is the case, his belief overrides anything science may tell him that goes against that believe.
You really cannot debate against that type of believe. It is a personal choice.

Now as far as T72, imo he is just posting to get a reaction.

We don't have closed minds. Our minds are wide open to all the facts showing that the earth is a globe. I agree about T72, he is a troll.

It's called a horizon for a reason. "Horizontal". Flat!!

Post the science please. Why does the atmosphere work like a stack of lenses?

Here we go again. You must have somebody tell you, for you cannot research it yourself.

that dosent explain why objects sink below it instead of getting distorted out of view by the atmosphere like you proposed

No jrr777. One of the reason posters ask for a reference that you used to come to your conclusion is to eliminate any confusion. The poster can read / view what you have viewed.
Why is that so hard for you to understand?

I'm not really running away from your questions BD, it's just that they are so inane, so trivial that they don't deserve a response.

All I was saying is that Deuce was right--cognitive dissonance positively RULES in the country today.

I have researched it as a part of something called getting an education.

I promise to respect your answer. Please answer the following, Do you believe the earth is flat? Yes or No.

It is simple, it is not trivial, it just indicates if you agree with the OP or not.
