we seem to live in an age where ignorance is actively celebrated, where simply repeating some cr4p on a conspiracy website is supposed to overthrow 200 years of scientific enquiry

where "blog scientist" who never publish anything in proper scientific journals seem to think their nutty ideas should be held in the same regard as the worlds top scientists

you see it in AGW denial - granted flat earthers are at the nuttier end, but they all use the same modus operandi that I highlighted earlier in the thread

Actually the only serious point I've really made that can easily defend is ...

nists computer simulation of how the buildings collapsed has to be independently reviewed

yes the irony is we have just had the Panama papers released

evidence from leaked papers that seem to suggest the worlds high and mighty - included Cameron's dad conspired to hide money from the worlds Tax authorities

potential evidence of a real conspiracy

instead we have people trying to suggest Gravity is a hoax, presumably a scam by the worlds airlines to force us to all pay inflated airline ticket prices

That's my best effort at good grammer
You have fallen victim to the CT claim that WTC7 could not have collapsed due to one column and some 'small fires'.

However, WTC7 was hit by the falling towers, which removed a large portion of one side, weakening the structure considerably. The substantial fires that followed, were more than enough to bring it down.

You can read about what actually happened, as opposed to some nut jobs Youtube paranoia here.

It wasn't a bad stab at grammar, but still needs improvement on spelling

I've seen a curved horizon from the top of a mountain.

PS - Google "gravity"
Well that picture clearly shows that the horizon is flat, there is your evidence, there is your proof that our 6000 year old earth is flat!

Unquestionably as flat as a pancake, who could think otherwise?

This is the weirdest thread ever - two totally unrelated themes running in parallel and one completely hair brained!

Actually it shows that the sea is tilted - its higher on the right hand side than the left. That must mean that not only is the earth flat, its tilted too! So how does the water just not spill off the side

Well it's quite obvious really.
Our flat Earth has a conveniently placed border of dry land right on the very edge placed there by the good Fairy in the sky to stop all the lovely water running away.
And when that good Fairy in the sky brought the nasty floods he just raised the edges a tiny bit so that the water would rise up and He could drown all the naughty people who believed in spherical things rather than plain and simple flatness and try and make a fresh start for all the followers of absolute nonsense.









Now what's the chance of starting a third parallel thread

What if the earth is dome shaped. Ie: not flat and not a globe. Does that make any difference ?

A serious question for the boffins. Does the moon rotate ?
Every time I've looked through a telescope I always see the same side etc.
why so?
And. If I've not to believe Yatube, the media or history given that all can be wrong or manipulated, where should I be looking?

Cheers

Well perhaps for a start you could try explaining why you think the good fairy is a 'he' when everyone knows he's a she. Eh?

Yes it does, otherwise the sea would just run off the edge.

The moon doesn't rotate, it's also a disk but on its side, that's why the moon landings are fake, you can't possibly land on a vertical disk!

It rotates as it orbits earth so the same face always faces earth , a bit suspicious if you ask me , it's more likely a disc or hologram

So the sea would run off a flat earth and a domed earth but not on a globe.
Ps Jon. Wtfs a disk?

What if the earth was triangular? What if the earth was bleddy square? What if the earth was no-earth? What if the earth is nothing but an illusion??

Christ! Haven't you got lot anything better to do?? Eleven pages and it's still going on and on!

Mind you, this debate has made me think again that the anti-logic is highly gravitational.

As you'll know Jon. There's no such thing as a dumb *** question. Only dumb *** answers
Turbohot: Better things to do? Given you took the time out to answer my question. I'd have to say No lol

I don't have time to look at that link I'm to busy getting to the bottom of queen Elizabeth's shape shifting abilities , but according to nist , the building would have came to the same fate regardless of the damage done by collision , as in the fire alone was enough .

Do you have a good picture of the damage and fires ?

If only some blundering idiot hadn't left the fire alarm in test mode the building might have been saved , think of all those cia files that were lost , thankfully no lives taken in that building

Hello, It's a Classic! I never answered any of your questions and you never asked me any, either. Even if you did, all I would have said that the earth is earth and I'd like to believe that I live on it. I don't care whether it's factually flat or what, as I'm just waiting for my car to turn up and pay a massive bill for its repairs, mate.

I'm now particularly interested in the shape shifting Queen, though. I'll do some research when I have a minute or two in my bare hands to kill. Or I'll just read this thread and look out for the pearls of wisdom on the matter.

Sorry turbohot. I didn't know you were so ****. Should have read you responded to my post to which you apparently did
As for the Better things to do? Remark.
Since your the one with 40 odd thousand posts I did find that somewhat humorous

Ps: hope the bill ain't too big!
