Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.


Agree, but (in my case) the point is not to argue to prove Im right with Card and Chivas

Like I said, I know I won't convince them.
I just find it amusing making them hang their own dirty linen

True.

I just do it for my own amusement

I provided a vid proving the opposite. Card has avoided providing a vid to support it

Many other examples


This is basically just a repeat of Card saying "If we live on a spinning ball why don't the stars change position every night?" and then running the fuck away when I linked timelapses from amateur astronomers and point out how the fact that stars do was one of the reasons ancient civilizations knew we weren't on a flat disc.

I'm gonna update some objections I've made that nobody can address with regards to flat Earth just so I can keep a public list.

So far from what I can remember


1. Nobody will ever state what "the law of perspective" is, or give a way to predict what a given scene will look like based on it.
2. If we live on a flat disc the sun would have to be obscenely close to the Earth for it to ever appear to go over the horizon, and if you do some simple math you will see that the usual height of 5000 miles of the sun is too high for it ever to appear to set even if you are at the complete opposite side of the Earth from the sun.
3. Why is there a conspiracy at all? What does anybody have to gain from pretending the Earth is round?
4. If things like the ISS aren't real, why can amateur astronomers predict where the ISS will be at any given time using orbital mechanics and verify the predictions using amateur level telescopes? "It's on balloons" isn't an answer since it travels far too fast for balloons to ever be a viable method of lift.
5. If the Earth is flat why can we use globe earth models to predict with near perfect levels of accuracy when eclipses will happen, what type they will be, and where they will be visible? Why have flat earthers never predicted a single eclipse using a flat earth model?

There's more but these are the easiest

Pretty much where Card Fails

Take this for example

no, you provided a vid showing a plane ascending - the exact opposite of a plane already at 30k ft, still waiting for you to prove your claim
my video clearly verifies my assertion, stop dodging.

i never said such a thing, the stars rotate every night, please post proof the ancients knew the star had observable changes in parallax.
INb4 fail, same old Thor - making claims he cant prove and if you ask for proof he starts shit posting on his multi

so not believing in the consensus propaganda is hanging dirty linen?
If so auto believing in the crap your sold on TV is sheep eating from the Pig throuf, oink oink , baaaaaa

1. Ignorance is not an excuse
2. This is because you refuse to learn what the horizon is - its not the physical leading edge of the earth - its the optical effect that limits your 3d perception of reality, and the sun doesnt set - the apparent sun simply travels beyond your perception
3. Compartmentalized thinking, do Janitors know what the Board of a Corporation decides - i dont think so. And Power is making people lie when in the hearts they know its not true, thats what Government's role is - Govern the Mind
4. Amateur Astronomer don't predict where the ISS is - a website tells them where the projection will appear.
5. Long before ball Earth, we were predicting eclipses cause it based on an 18 year Soros Cycle and we used the Anthicka device, Also you model does work because it can not hold water, show the invisible forces you claim exist or explain 96% of matter or energy in the universe - paper Earth is a joke.

1. I'm not the one claiming a law exists. If you think there is such a thing as "The Law of Perspective" then define it. Simply saying "this is how perspective works" doesn't make it a law, and all the observations you have about perspective perfectly follow with the trigonometry and optics that I've been pointing out.
2. If the sun simply "traveled beyond our perception" it wouldn't fall below the horizon. Something traveling far away such that we can't see it does not mean it goes below the horizon. If you simply release a balloon into the air and watch as it flies away, you will see that it goes out of your view and yet it never crosses the horizon.
3. Does not address the objection. Why do they care about governing if we think the Earth is round?
4. Amateur astronomers can predict where it will be, although many do reference websites. Still, doesn't answer the second part that you can't explain what it is, how it stays there, or how it got there.
5. You can say you don't believe the model, but the fact is that the model is virtually 100% accurate. Similarly, the Soros Cycle is perfectly explainable using orbital mechanics. The flat earth model has no way to predict eclipses, although there are empirical ways to do it none of them are dependent on the Earth being flat.
