  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

And the fact that you go there on holiday.
A friend of mine is an engineer for a company that does work all over the globe.... I said to him once that he has seen a lot of this world... His answer..no.. I have seen tiny spots of many different places all over this world... it is a very large place and when you go somewhere you only see a speck of that part of it.

This is the same as the Antarctic treks or holidays. I'm not saying that they don't go.. I am saying that they could take you to any icy camp that is freezing cold anywhere. There is no way you could say that you were or weren't on Antarctica. If you were... how much are you actually going to see?

Admiral Byrd had to work out strategic plans to get his airplanes to fly deep into Antarctica.... you think you are just going to go down there and walk up to the edge of the earth? Seriously?

The temperatures are extreme and the weather is unpredictable... If the edge is there and they are trying to hide it... nobody is going to go near it, and live, whether it's the weather or the powers making sure they don't live to tell.

And your evidence for people being prevented from going to the South Pole is what, exactly.

Are you aware there has been a permanent outpost at the South Pole since the 1950s and multiple people have famously trekked to the South Pole and back?

Are all those disparate people liars?

Who is "they," exactly? And why didn't they stop the 1955–58 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition?

See this is kind of what I'm talking about. YOU might not be able to identify, measure, map, or be able to think of a way to do any of those things but it doesn't mean anyone else can't. But because YOU can't, you're assuming that no one else can't. This applies to what I said earlier. Because you can't understand something, you're assuming it's incorrect or flawed. On top of that, you're easily convinced by outrageously shoddy evidence and you think everyone else should be. But we're not. I mean c'mon, you also believe in giants because of pictures from a Photoshop contest bruh.

Like I said before, there are things about the FE that I cannot get my head around. Just that there are things that are observable about the globe that don't make sense either....

Strange - for someone who claims to be "researching" the topic, you ignore even the most basic pretense of unbiased research yourself. You posts entirely refute one side and embrace the other.

You've obviously already made your mind up, so why not just come out and embrace being a flat-earther?

The US can't stop a bunch of Mexicans crossing a few thousand kilometres of border, but "they" can stop the entire world from getting across an Antarctic that would have a "border" of tens of thousands of kilometres if the FE "map" was actually true.

It'll happen eventually. I'm sure years ago you can find posts where he says "Listen I'm not saying I believe in giants, I'm just interested in the idea." And lo and behold, here we are and he openly believes in giants.

It was the same when the news forum was flooded with 9/11 truthers. They'd claim that 'i'm just questioning everything - I don't believe either way" but would go on to rubbish everything posted unless it was supportive of 9/11 conspiracies.

To the people who post silly memes: they don't prove anything.

As to "not approaching Antarctica," you can fly over it and sightsee. There are also numerous boat tours. And it's not that hard to get a job on one of the bases.

Funny you can't use the quote feature so the intended post never notifies your recipient. No, you cannot "fly over Antarctica and go sightseeing" that's preposterous. Book a tour and I'll go with.
