I heard about this society, so thx for link.

 

It's great some of the answers they come up with for the questions, it's basically like putting your fingers in your ears and going "BLABLABLABLABLA".

 

They think the sun and moon rising and setting is an optical illuision, all of there answers are similar to this one or "it's a conspiricy"..then again one of the moderators IS from Texas and we know what types arise from there

Have been reading that site's forum today. Fucking loons.

[RedBrian84]

Fucking hell.

 

Other than that, there are no words.

It is painful to me that the noble and enlightened people of Iran have been led astray by the Conspiracy's heretical lies and false promises of space travel. The Russian Globularist enclave has merely used one of their pseudolite aircraft to broadcast a new series of satellite signals and deceive the Iranians from their otherwise worthy and accurate Islamic science.

 

I haven't heard sentences like that since I gave up smoking and got a proper job.

"News! Due to popular demand, we've started a third round of Flat Earth Society t-shirt/sweatshirt pre-orders! If you're interested, have a look at the Flat Earth Shop. The pre-order phase will end on about June 20th and things should ship by the end of June. "

 

Gutted I've missed the cutoff date for the t-shirts!1

"27 March 2010

London's cold and dreary Winter is slowly giving way to a warm and dreary Spring. This means the end of the Flat Earth Society Winter Charity Drive. Thanks to everyone who contributed. We raised £80 for the Society for Abandoned Animals. Well done!"

 

Obviously has many members

And no idea about how the seasons work and how they are linked with the position of the globe- sorry the 'flat earth'.

I'm scared to have a look due to me being extremely impressionable!

[Owen]

That place is fascinating. They keep referencing a book written by some religious crank in 1885.

 

No different to the Mormons, I suppose.

[cochyn]

I just love the way that should anyone dare mention "elephant in the room", everyone just goes "Shut up, just shut-up about that.."

 

Are they motivated by a phobia of spheres?

[Charles Penrose]

Some of the pearlers forming part of their theory:

 

The disc shaped earth is illuminated by a sun which is just 32 miles across and 3000 miles away.

The disc shaped earth is surrounded by an ice wall, with Antarctica actually being a mass which encircles this disc.

That gravity doesn't apply to the earth but applies elsewhere in the Cosmos.

 

It's infuriating but fascinating at the same time.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Ahhh. It all makes perfect sense now.

The water clearly originated form meltwater from the ice sheet. Before the Sun began melting the sheet it is entirely reasonable to assume that the Entire Earth was frozen, presumably a buildup of cometary collisions provided the frozen water, or perhaps water preferentially collected on the FE disc for some reason. I am currently working out the details, but there's no evidence to the contrary.

[Cardie]

The ice wall is impossible to get to because it's too inhospitable and far away yet a thousand or so guards patrol it with little more than snow mobiles.

[Charles Penrose]

Another few pearlers.

 

Apparently the phases of the moon are due to an 'anti moon' moving in between the Earth and the moon. This is completely black, but if you look carefully on a clear not you can see it blocking out the stars behind it! The moon emits it's own light though.

 

One well known poster has come up with a theory that the dinosaurs were a seafaring race who built boats, farmed and colonised the Earth.

 

Another says that direct exposure to moonlight can and does blind and kill you.

And when questioned about this theory, replied "can you prove they didn't build boats"

 

It's a whole world of Simon's in there.

[Charles Penrose]

The frightening thing is, many of them are clearly very well educated people. It makes it even more baffling.

[Anny Road]

We all know the earth is round and hollow.

Exactly what I was thinking,

 

Something to do with evolution of Aids,

Very few of them are overweight and 30% are cigarette smokers.

You don't say...

[skend04]

Gut feeling.

 

People voted Leave on a gut feeling. People think the earth is flat because of a gut feeling.

 

Maybe stupid does emanates from gut? Scientists need to work on that hypothesis I think.

[Moctezuma]

Where are the elephants and the gigantic turtle then?
