• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I've engaged plenty before, without achieving anything. Without even getting rational answers for questions such as
Given the flat earth model:
- How are intercontinental flights in the Southern Hemisphere possible?
- Why does the sizes of countries and distances between coasts cities on the flat earth model not match reality?
- Why do stars still move in a circle when I look at the sky towards the South at night?
- Why is it possible for me to book a tourist trip to Antarctica if Antarctica is only a wall?
- If the moon is a light source, why does the craters on its surface cast shadows? And why do the direction / size of these shadows differ, not only according to where they are on the moon, but also according to the phase of the moon? (I have pictures showing this, TAKEN BY ME - so you can't call them Photoshop without directly calling me a liar, and I will look for them and post them, if requested. In the mean time, have some fun here)

(Edit - I fully expect people to deny that there are any shadows, though. Just like when someone pointed out a ship's hull to me in a photo that was not visible at all... :rolleyes:)

And that is based only on fact that I and other people in the Southern hemisphere can personally observe. I won't even go into the more scientific questions, because I can't deal with the ignorance about gravity, perspective, optics, etc that is so prevalent among flat-earthers - I have neither the time nor the energy.

I will go back to lurking (and condescending :p) until the questions above have been answered.
I don't think you will attract any more than negative attention with your attitude.

Ok.

My hope is that you can at least be honest enough with yourself to go look for answers for those questions. Where or not you post them here is unimportant.
OK, my hope is that you at least be courteous enough to addess the issues in the OP. Without any interest in that basic courtesy, your hope has no value to me.

There is no actual content in the OP, only a youtube video that I don't have the time to watch.

For my replies to the usual "Flat Earth arguments", see my replies to your previous threads.

PS: While checking back, I just realised that the delusional guy who claimed to see the invisible boat was actually you, so never mind. I'm wasting my time here.

I am impressed that a guy who comments on a video without watching it realises he wastes time.
