The flat earth?

[RAMENATOR]

Ya but what makes them believe that, and why is it a big thing all of a sudden

Have you ever heard of cults, fads, and entertainment? It's an opportunity for much of the world to feel good about themselves by bringing ridiculous ideals to centre stage. This group is serious about there claims much as most cult-type groups are, and the rest of the world is entertaining themselves by giving these people the time of the day. It just makes the general population 'feel good' by being able to say "At least I'm not as messed up as those guys." Soon enough, everyone will get bored of it and go on to something new.

A perfect example is the show American Idol and the audition portion. Every once in awhile they allow someone to embarrass themselves in front of the judges. Like completely embarrass themselves. For people who have auditioned before, they know that there are several smaller auditions that happen before you reach the televised judges and a lot of regular people don't make it that far. For entertainment value, they send one or two crazy people (Who often believe they are actually good) up to the judges to make utter fools of themselves. Same thing happens with the media. We all know that this group is out of their mind, but they are spotlighted so that we can have a good laugh.

it does make you think...just not very hard. The earth is more globular shaped than round but it sure as hell isn't flat. B.o.b. is a moron

The funny thing is Bob can afford to buy a ticket around the world.

What about physics though, it's fundamental, do these people also believe other planets are flat as well? What about rotation and revolution? Moon and other planet's satellites revolving around them? We don't really need to like go out and observe it from outside, we know there are proven both theoretically and experimentally rules that apply everywhere in observable universe.
I mean how does it even explain satellites launched in orbit?

They say satellites don't exist

The stereotyping is too strong.

people are STILL debating if the earth is a sphere or not? I guess Aristotles is still alive.

 

[BlacLord™]

The stereotyping is too strong.

In the case of mainstream rappers/hip-hop artists, it's quite true. I'm sure there's exceptions, there always are. But run-of-the-mill rappers that drone on about drugs, violence and being ghetto generally don't have too much going on upstairs.

I was watching another video like this and apparently GPS does not work in the southern hemisphere

If the Earth is flat why are humans round?

Blame it on internet. Every troll or a nut case has a chance to reach millions and gets followers anyway.

Do the time zones exist?

I'm not sure I think they said something abut the rising and setting of the sun in the vid but i can't rem what exactly however I do rem that they said the sun is the same size as the moon and we are only a few 1000 miles away from it

 

[Your Creepy Stalker]

Well i might watch it later but the reasons behind why "they're not telling us this" is religious reasons. Claiming to be Hiding the existence of god, controlling us and so on. I would of thought proving a god exists is a far better way of controlling people than trying to hide it, Uniting humanity under one god and so on. Thus i see no reason for the lie in the first place.

I if the questions in this video is what i think they will be, I'd expect most scientists who are experts in these fields would be able to explain them.

How would you "hide" a god? If the god in question actually made it's presence felt, it wouldn't be something you could hide, and if it didn't make it's presence felt, then your secret organisation is just another religion.

It does. I've used GPS in Australia myself.

So, in a flat earth, what is the Southern Hemisphere?

I suppose there will still be a north and south even if the earth is flat

They claim that the sun is 3000 Miles away and this is how Day/Night works
