I am actually arguing with someone on Facebook about how the earth cannot be flat. In 2017 there are still people who think the earth is flat. Fucking hell.

Just stop. You cannot fight willful ignorance with logic.

I have no idea how anyone ever could have believed this. A 6-foot tall object disappears from view after just a couple miles (at sea, or on flat ground). That’s something that should have been pretty obvious to sailors since the earliest days, but hey. Today you just take a commercial flight on a clear day. At cruising altitude, you can clearly make out the curvature of the earth.

You can’t argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The Earth isn’t flat, it’s ridiculous to think that. There’s only one conspiracy worth talking about.

Unfriend them then grab a beer.

You can’t cure stupid so don’t let it bother you.

Stupid people amaze me with what they say and do.

I wonder how they made it so far through life without getting run over or something.

What did they do during all those years at school/what the hell was the school teaching them?

correction:

In 2017 there are still people who will argue the earth is flat because arguing on the internet is fun

If it’s flat, then where does it end?

OR, maybe it is flat, explaining Amelia Earhart’s disappearance. She just flew off the edge.

It IS flat! Also it is propped on the back of 4 elephants, which themselves are on the back of a turtle. Then it’s turtles all the way down.

I would stop arguing ASAP, and just continue the conversation.

Try to get as much evidence out of them about as possible so we can FIGURE OUT WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB.

I gotta know, what could they possibly point to as actual evidence that the world is flat?

Also, believing such things should be ground for chemical castration.

The real question is if the Earth is flat and you are drunk, why haven’t you fallen off yet?

I get it. It’s a noble battle that you’re waging. Unfortunately, you cannot win.

Let me put it this way: you’re losing your mind over this, because it’s insane. The dipshit who is totally sure that the world is flat, is even so calmly drinking their Mointain Dew and laughing about how dumb you are.

But the bible doesn’t state the earth is flat..........does it? I don’t remember that part.

Sometimes you have to pick your battles and when someone osnthis ignorant and set in their “faith” the only outcome in participating is a loss so you have to “win” by ignoring them and moving on. I’ve encountered the flat earth society faithful before and it’s a losing battle for me too. Ultimatly as a society the majority believe that the earth is round so the burden of proof should be on them not you or me.

I feel the same way trying to argue physical and mechanical laws on the FP, but it’s difficult to ignore it.

If the earth is round how come Moses was able to stop the sun and the moon so that the Israelites could smite their enemies? Can’t do that with no round earth, open your MIND.

I’ve been calling this recent age with immediate access to Google as the Age of Feigned Ignorance.

There is too much information and data, we question some things, but not others and our ‘internal religion’ sometimes supersedes all logic and reason.

I once asked a person why the last major Ice Age ended? How did it end with no humans around? Science has a number of reasons why, but I just wanted this person to engage in a debate as to why they thought it. They were unable to even come up with a solid answer, but they were armament about other issues they’ve seen on the news or in web blogs.

I have folks in my office that still try to breathe live into a program that was designed in 1995. I refuse to teach it or even acknowledge it in hopes folks will get away from their ancient program and use more modern and faster technology. It is their comfort. They won’t get away from what they know, even if it is a steam engine vs my combustion engine.

There is a concern that folks aren’t looking up any more...they are looking down at their phones and not seeing the bigger picture.

Joke’s on both of you. From the ancient wisdom of Nebuchadnezzar, the world is neither round, nor flat.
