paul's got wright Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 There's no debate to be had. There's no evidence for a flat Earth. You would have to have a brain the size of a tangerine to actually believe the Earth is flat. People who believe stupid things in spite of being presented with evidence deserve scorn. so people like me, who don't know the shape of the earth, therefore , don't believe or disbelieve any of the theories, can be left to research all sides with an open mind. part of the ongoing discussion. that's what i'm doing. thanks vulgarian for not bullying me into believing or disbelieving something i do not know the answer to. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul's got wright Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 There are some great debates on that website, for example: http://www.debate.org/debates/murder-is-right/1/ http://www.debate.org/debates/Resolved-In-a-fight-Darth-Vader-would-easily-vanquish-Superman./1/ http://www.debate.org/debates/Molesting-handicapped-orphans-is-cool/1/ It is obviously a credible source for debate and reason, not a place inhibited by the mentally ill and trolls. are you the mf section advisor mojo? can you get people sectioned for being mentally ill? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 are you the mf section advisor mojo? can you get people sectioned for being mentally ill? x No and no. The point is that there is an awful lot of stuff out there on the internet, and much is simply rubbish. Why would you choose to cite what appears to be a bit of a silly discussion website as credible evidence for the Earth being flat, round, square or shaped like a pineapple?

If you Google "Is the World flat" you will get about 616,000,000 results, if you Google "Is the World round" you will get about 914,000,000.

Mr. Sausages Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Vulgarian: For me the debate has been more interesting from a psychological point of view by the mere response. In other words, you've been trolling. No shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i agree ans, let science have it's say............ http://www.debate.org/debates/Scientific-evidence-overwellmingly-supports-a-flat-earth/1/ I realise you feel a kinship with badly educated elbow typers, but that "debate" is like watching retards wrestle and doesn't really have any science in it.

Chinahand Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Now what do you think will happen if you now add a huge mountain - millions of tonnes of rock. Do you think it will change how the plum plumb line hangs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Gerry, if the earth is flat, why is there a horizon? On a clear day, from somewhere such as a beach on the south coast of Australia, wouldn't you be able to see 'the ice wall', perhaps with a telescope? I mean, you do believe that telescopes exist don't you - I've looked at the moon through one, and even if the moon is only 3000 miles away or whatever you claimed and not 250,000, it's still being magnified. So why not the ice wall at the end of the earth from, say, Philip Island (Whereas I've not been into space I have been to the Southern Hemisphere, 3 times, and never once saw the ice wall in the south across the perfectly flat Southern ocean on a clear day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxy Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 There are some great debates on that website, for example: http://www.debate.org/debates/murder-is-right/1/ http://www.debate.org/debates/Resolved-In-a-fight-Darth-Vader-would-easily-vanquish-Superman./1/ http://www.debate.org/debates/Molesting-handicapped-orphans-is-cool/1/ It is obviously a credible source for debate and reason, not a place inhibited by the mentally ill and trolls. Certainly less vulgar language on there and if only there was a similar ruling on here as otherwise, loads of people would have warning points...... Debate is about debating something and you can't have a debate without someone challenging the evidence. Paul & Gerry did just that and China presented the evidence to counteract challenging questions and fair play to them for taking on a questionable area that seems to be gaining support. (If one takes you tube as a media outlet) I have no problem with what they did as questions and answers are what makes us learn, but we shouldn't take everything for granted and I'm sure that even China would agree with this. Santa Claus and the tooth fairy spring to mind Apart from some negative comments that added nothing to fair play, I liked the back and forth questions and answers and appreciated the numerous examples shown for and against. Good job guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is there is all manner of stuff on the internet, please don't believe it all. "The flat world theory is not confined to any country, sect or group. Within recent years the Rev. John Dmich, a Catholic priest, has written a book “The Earth Is Not Round” which has had a wide sale. Another pamphlet, “One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is not a Globe”, issued by William Carpenter in 1885, the year after Rowbottom’s death, continues to appear in revised editions". above is from the article mojo maybe you didn't read it? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
