So, some people still think that the Earth is still flat, claiming that the government and NASA made a big conspiracy to hide the truth. Apparently, they think a giant ice-wall prevents the oceans from falling off. Join me in laughing at their views. http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/
"Don't mention this on a public forum. NASA agents will now track your whereabouts with dark energy trackers and stratellites - if you ever come within 1000km of the great ice ring expect to be abducted by cyborg penguins."

also, i wanted to add some things a critic said about the FlatEarth Theory.
"The polar projection of the flat earth creates obvious discrepancies with known geography, particularly the farther south you go. Figure 54 inadvertantly illustrates this problem. The Zetetic map has a severly squashed South America and Africa, and Australia and New Zealand in the middle of the Pacific. I think that by the 19th century people would have noticed if Australia and Africa were thousands of miles further apart than expected, let alone if Africa was wider than it was long!
The Zetetic Sun, moon, planets and stars are all only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth. The sun orbits the north pole once a day at a constant altitude. The moon is both self-illuminated and semi-transparent. Eclipses can be explained by some unknown object occulting the sun or moon. Zetetic cosmology is 'faith-based', based, that is, on a literal interpretation of selected Biblical quotes. Hell is exactly as advertised, directly below us. Heaven is not a state of mind, it is a real place, somewhere above us. He uses Ussherian Biblical chronology to mock the concept that stars could be millions of light years away. He attacks the concept of a plurality of worlds because no other world than this one is mentioned in the Bible.
Rowbotham never adequately explains his alternative astronomy. If the Copernican theory so adequately explains planetary motions, why discard it, and what would he use in its place? What is the sun orbiting around once a day and how does it work like a spotlight, not a 'point source'? If the moon is self-luminous, what creates its phases? If gravity appears to work here on earth, why doesn't it apply to the celestial objects just a few hundred miles up? "
It is flat... If video games can make a flat world, why couldnt god, or the big bang thingy u other people belive, or maybe even the condom on banana theory. I mean all you do is make a thing that transports u to the oposite side when you reach the end, its plain and simple.
You cant seriously think that. Thats crazy bro. Nasa, Columbus, blah blah blah. Everybody knows.... its common knowledge the earth is round. The whole world isnt conspiring to hide its flat-ness from you.
IT IS FLAT I KNOW IT! I ALWAYS KNEW IT WAS FLAT! Only noone belived me.. But now... I found home, a group of people who all realise the fact that I do!
