The Rod of God -- (!) Pages 33 and 34 (!)

[Goober McTuber]

In both China and the United States, when the government doesn't want the citizens to know something, it censors the story across the entire state-run media, invoking "information totalitarianism."

We now have a state-run media?

[Bucmonkey]

This place becomes more unreadable by the minute...

[Wolfman]

Does Tin Foil Ted post here?

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Does a day go by where you don't log onto Facebook, you pointless dullard?

[BSmack]

Does Tin Foil Ted play a mean guitar?

He does NOT drive a Jaguar.

[Jay in Phoenix]

Looks like 'tart is spreading his gossamer angel wings over the lunatic fringe again.

A little sad, a whole lot funny.

[poptart]

That fact alone is totally bypassed by poptart and rest of the tinfoil troop.

It's not bypassed by me.
I gave my take on it in the thread you linked to.

If you want to believe the children's story of the moon landings, don't let me stop you.
I find it kind of cute that people are still mesmerized by such a silly tale.


I don't know for sure what the shape of the earth is.
Simple observation tells me it is not round.


Here's a question -- and it will be amusing to hear your answer.
I suspect what we will see is name-calling, flailing, and anger directed at me, but let's try.
lol

Google - earth and see what comes up.

If you THINK about it, you'll notice that nearly every full earth image that we are shown is either -----> cgi or artistically enhanced.

Google it.
Look at all the cgi or artistically enhanced images.

Pause...


Are you THINKING?


There are very very few supposed real full image pictures of the planet earth -- and yet we've been up in space for well over 40 years now.

There should easily be many thousand of such images, yet there are not.


Why not?

[BSmack]

No cgi, no photoshop. Taken with a camera.

[Left Seater]

I don't know for sure what the shape of the earth is.
Simple observation tells me it is not round.

What shape does your simple observation tell you it is?

Further have you never been on a modern jet? The curvature of the earth is quite visible above 35000 feet. Also if the earth isn't a sphere or something very close why would a plane heading to Asia from LA fly over or very near Alaska?

[Atomic Punk]

He's used to the Mercator projection maps from grade school walls. Those prove the Earth is flat.

[poptart]

I've found that people really don't like it when their round earth is questioned.

I understand.
It's been plowed into your brain from nearly your earliest memory.
It is a precious thing to you.
It's what you know and what you think you are.

You can defend it;.
In fact, I'm all ears... or eyes. lol

No cgi, no photoshop. Taken with a camera.

This does not dispute my statements in any way.
This exercise will only be more and more painful for you if you fail to even read what I say.

What shape...

I don't answer questions until my first question is answered.
Be polite.

The curvature of the earth is quite visible above 35000 feet

Well, it's not visible at 29,000 ft.
But I'm sure that kicks in at 35,000, though. lol :wink:

Theory: You "know" it curves, so you think you see a curve.

Put a ruler up to your screen.
It's flat, boss.

[poptart]

Now Scott, you know I asked you a question first.

I'm more than happy to answer any question put my way, but you need to show some basic respect here.



In the meantime, put a ruler up to your computer screen (as I told LS) -- and then notify the rest of the class what your finding is.

[Dr_Phibes]

Genuinely curious.
Who is behind the round Earth conspiracy and what is to be hid by convincing people that it's round when it should be flat?

[poptart]

This was my question...

Here's a question -- and it will be amusing to hear your answer.
I suspect what we will see is name-calling, flailing, and anger directed at me, but let's try.
lol

Google - earth and see what comes up.

Why not?

The focal length of the lens does not allow it to see the full distance of the horizon - therefore it appears flat in the photograph

Even if a lens capable of that distance and breadth were to take a photo it would still appear flat as the camera cannot see what is obstructed

will you answer my questions now?

lol
Abracadabra answers don't impress.


We can view plenty of the horizon there, Scott.
Plenty.

As you put your ruler up to the scree, you saw that it is flat.

It is what it is.

[poptart]

Genuinely curious.
Who is behind the round Earth conspiracy and what is to be hid by convincing people that it's round when it should be flat?

I can't say for sure who the precise people are.


Why have "they" lied to us about our earth?

My short answer is, to deny God.

Keep people from knowing the true nature of their world, and what their true identity is.

Keep people stupid.
Stupid and enslaved.

[Dr_Phibes]

If you're talking about Jews, I'm down. They're cunts and need to be exterminated. The rest is just weird, an horizon and the curvature of the Earth is visible from sea-level.

[poptart]

the curvature of the Earth is visible from sea-level.

Enjoy your curvature, then.

Don't let me stop you.



Admiral Byrd made many expeditions to Antarctica.
He became VERY interested in it.
Said that it was a vast wonderland.
Huge potential and massive untapped natural resources.
Would have been a colossal money-making region -- on a massive scale.

Then twelve countries abruptly signed he Antarctic Treaty in 1959 and since then it's no-goey to Antarctica, fliends.

Nobody is going to tap anything there.
No, no, NO, you don't.
Can't have that.
Resources stay in the ground.

Can't go.
No way.
No how.
You simply will not enter that region.

:wink:

[Left Seater]

Photos don't tell the whole story. My HS class photo was taken by a camera that moved thru 90 degrees. The bleachers were set up in an arc and the camera moved from one slowly across that arc. Funny thing though when we got the picture the bleachers appeared as if they were totally straight. You could put a ruler to the picture and it appeared the bleachers were arrow straight when they weren't.

I also notice you didn't answer the question about the airplane flying to Asia. Further if the earth isn't a sphere there would have to be an edge somewhere. But with all of the flights across the globe going every direction no one has ever seen the edge. How can that be?

[smackaholic]

The whole Antarctica resources off limits dealio will be done away with soon enough, as things become scarce on the rest of the planet.

So, pop, just wtf are you getting at here? Some sort of philosophical troll job or are you really bat-shit crazy?

[poptart]

I also notice you didn't answer the question about the airplane flying to Asia.

It helps a lot if you read my posts.
I TOLD you why I didn't answer your question.

I said...

I don't answer questions until my first question is answered.
Be polite.

You, Bri and Scott have all demonstrated that you didn't even read what I posted.

In my first post in this thread, I said this...

Here's a question -- and it will be amusing to hear your answer.

Why not?

I'd like to hear your answer to this.
I want to hear this from anyone who chooses to enter here and start firing away.

I see your question about "the edge" and can give my take, but you need to follow the order.
Answer my question.

So, pop, just wtf are you getting at here? Some sort of philosophical troll job or are you really bat-shit crazy?

What's your answer to my first question?
I asked it first.

[Goober McTuber]

What's your answer to my first question?

Are you THINKING?

Yes.

I am THINKING you are TROLLING.

[poptart]

Get back to filming more near-nudes for all of your male internet fliends, Gobbler.

I'm very confident that you will have nothing to add here.

[Goober McTuber]

I'm not welcome at a meeting of The Flat Earth Society? Damn.

I answered your first question, whacktart.

[Jay in Phoenix]

Poptart if you aren't trolling you are one seriously confused idiot. If you go up into the atmosphere, say for example in one of those new fangled airplane thingies, you can see the curvature of the Earth. Brian gave you an untouched photograph from space of the planet. Since the globe has been circumnavigated, why hasn't anyone fallen off the edge yet?

Furthermore, I have had relatives and friends who worked for and with NASA. They haven't conspired about anything and we know what the mineral composition of the moon is because we've been there!

You on the other hand spend your sad little life with your nose brown stained from keeping it buried in a fairy tale and a non-existent saviors ass. You are a pathetic little old man, deluded or stupid, either way, a fool.

Go seek out LTS TARD, he's got a great supplier of tin-foil bonnets.

[War Wagon]

I don't know for sure what the shape of the earth is.
Simple observation tells me it is not round.

wow... just wow.

It's a good thing I go bed early, that would've kept me up all night.

[BSmack]

I don't know for sure what the shape of the earth is.
Simple observation tells me it is not round.

Simple observation told the Greeks it was round. Magellan proved this by sailing around the world. Hundreds of astronauts and thousands of pilots have seen the curvature of the earth. But yea, they are ALL covering something up.

[poptart]

Why not answer my question, B?
Seems you're not much into -----> thinking.

time lapse video from ISS - looks round to me

It's not a full earth pic, Scott -- and Stanley Kubrick showed us the same type of imagery way back in 1968.
Go ahead and answer my question any day now.

poptart if you aren't trolling you are one seriously confused idiot. You are a pathetic little old man, deluded or stupid, either way, a fool.

Yep.
The crutch for the very weak-minded.

You're not smart, Jay.
Not smart at all.

I have said that I am happy to answer questions directed to me, and I will address yours, however in my first post in this thread, I said this...

So put your arrogance away and answer my question, Jay.
I asked first.

Go for it.
You, B, Scott, Seater, Wagon, Jsc, Gobbler, smackaholic...

*crickets*

I don't see any response to my question.
If you're so wise, let's hear your take.
Should be so easy for you.

What say you, smart people?

[BSmack]

l-r Buzz Aldrin - Poptart

[Jay in Phoenix]

Apparently poptard doesn't even know how to use Google.

Here's a helpful hint...try using "real Earth pictures from space".

All real photos, all untouched.

Now go wear your naïveté like a crown of thorns.

God you are dumb.

[poptart]

Here's a helpful hint...try using "real Earth pictures from space".

All real photos, all untouched

No only are you not a smart man, you are a blatant LIAR.

Almost every single image on that page is either "composite," artistically enhanced, is a cgi, or some other such fantasy.


All real photos?






Answer the question, smarty pants.

[Roger_the_Shrubber]

Poptart,

I hope you are just trolling. If not, shut up. It's round, you ass!

[Atomic Punk]

Pops, you know I've talked to you about witnessing the Apollo Command Modules heading toward the Moon in the late 60's and early 70's from my family's backyard porch.

To put your objection that none of the pictures from these space pics shows the entire planet... let me ask you this very simple and logical question since you've played tennis:

When you hold a tennis ball in front of your eyes, do you see the entire tennis ball all at once? Is it flat and claim the other side does not exist because you don't see it, even though you can turn it, feel it, etc? There is a philosopher that talked about what you don't see, doesn't exist. Hmmm.

[Dr_Phibes]

A bizarre exercise in critical thinking? Google search results aren't academically based. A few years in school learning methodology might be in order

[Atomic Punk]

Again... if pops holds a tennis ball in his hands, does he see the entire tennis ball all at once? If not, then what exists in his fingers not in his view?

[Dr_Phibes]

Well I've Googled tennis ball. There isn't a single pic that's not enhanced, no lie.

Therefore Pete Sampras is a fag if he exists at all.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

This thread is amazing.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

This thread is amazing.

Yes. Somewhere in a barricaded, body odour stench filled, foil paper wrapped 1 room apartment, LTS just slid back in his chair and exhaled loudly.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Well I've Googled tennis ball. There isn't a single pic that's not enhanced, no lie.

Therefore Pete Sampras is a fag if he exists at all.

a^2 +sampras^2 = c^2 + (KC $cott + b)2

[Jay in Phoenix]

So tart, not only are you either trolling, stupid or simply unable to perceive a simple photograph, you are displaying an impressive amount of basic ignorance of honest fact.

So then tart, answer a question I have already asked and you ignored.

If the Earth is flat, why can't we reach the edge?

You are going to have to pull your head out of your ass to answer however.

Good luck with that.

[BSmack]

It is useless to try to change poptart's mind. You could get Stephen Hawking to raise Einstein and Sagan from the dead, have them pick up poptart in Korea with a spaceship and take him up to outer space and he would still take the word of a Bronze Age sheepherder over that of his own eyes and proclaim it all to be the work of CGI sorcery.
