Is the earth flat?

[Gandalf]

You jump up in the air and you come back down to the ground. What do you call that? You don't believe in gravity then?

I can't believe anybody actually engages with these people.

Diversity of thought is fun. You can put him on ignore if it upsets you so much. For instance, religion is silly, the modern Labour Party is silly, and Rap music is silly, but we seem to accept they have their place. I don't mind just as long as nobody is forcing me to change my own views.

Exactly, all I'm doing is asking questions of the affirmative claim. Those claims need to be practically demonstrated physically, using tangible substance before I would accept them as true. The globe reminds me of a cult, once someone leaves, all the other members try like crazy to get you back into their fold.

I like this quote from Gandhi "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win"

To often we are too busy talking to ourselves and can’t hear anything. But alpha are you saying the earth is definitely flat or are you saying it may not be round. Granted I can’t hold a ball of water but latitude and longitude have been accurate for a long time and is based on “roundness”. I don’t believe just because I can’t see certain things they don’t exist for now the mirror is dim and we see little but a time will come when we see all. I try not to attack anyone for their beliefs. I have been attacked for some of mine it’s pointless. As long as someone isn’t delusional it’s cool. I would like the flat earth believers to provide answers. Perhaps build a model of an accurate earth. Are there people on both sides? What keeps the water from falling off of a flat surface. The people living on the bottom, if they are, do they have water. Have we met these people.

Wow. I volunteered once at a schizophrenia clinic for 8 hours as part of a 3-credit Abnormal Psychology class in Birmingham.
These flat Earth claims come very near the centre of delusions of schizophrenics.
