"1.He says the reason the major nations signed a treaty about Antarctica is for "Scientific purposes" but is to keep people from falling to their deaths. Which is wrong because most of our drinking water is from Antarctica, and humans melted the artic, we'd be since all the fresh water would be mixed with saltwater and we'd all die"
This is a false statement, most of our drinking water does not come from Antarctica.
https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-we-bottle-fresh-water-from-Antarctica
But I fail to see how this is relevant. Can you tell me how "saltwater would be mixed with freshwater, and we'd all die" proves the earth is flat?
"2. He says there's a giant dome, which makes no sense, because how would humans have been able to get to space if this dome covers the earth?"
They haven't. Have you?
"3. He points out how the U.N logo is a flat earth. The reason is it's the UNITED NATIONS. you know nations from all CONTINENTS! It would be difficult to show all the continents on a round logo"
This is also largely irrelevant. That map was also just talked about before you jumped in with the Star trek appeal to the stone fallacy.
"4. He says the earth is an infinite plain, which from the space photos astronauts have taken clearly don't show that."
He said it could be. But just out of curiosity, show one photo of earth as a ball.
"5. He says gravity doesn't exist, and if that were the case, what's keep us from floating away then?"
The molecules that make up your head are denser that the air above it. Are you saying that if the earth were flat that we'd also be floating around? Why?
"6. He compares the size of the earth when Vsauce said if the earth was flat, it would become round anyway to a BASKETBALL! That comparison is just indefensible"
You ever met a really bad story/joke teller? What is the original point?
"7. Ah the whole "The bridge is curved, but the ocean isn't!" trope. He fails to realize the reason the bridge is curved is so it doesn't fall apart"
This is just incoherent.

This from you is what a person who likes to have his way with a conversation and not a debate looks like Mr. ERF.
"Last time I checked, this was a debate platform, which the main purpose is to call to attention subject matter that one is interested in, and have logical discourse, and is not "inane", but a staple in debating."
This is the third website where the word Debate via how some apparently like to treat it like it bathroom toilet paper.
I've seen the pro weed crowd on another website flaunt the words "freedom of choice" in the face of the law making the weed users drug of choice illegal.
So in that instance, freedom of choice via how some of the weed users treated freedom of choice, is another example of how the term freedom of choice got treated like toilet paper as well.

A troll usually flames threads without staying on topic, unlike a "Flamer" who flames a thread because he/she disagrees with the content of the thread. "
As this is the third irrelevant post in a row, you are now marked as a troll, and unless you can figure out how to form a logical and coherent argument that is on topic, your posts will be as trolling.

To say that geologists, who study the earth, but not the shape of it, and scientists in general are studying nonsense would be a bit far-fetched, as hardly anyone is studying the shape of the earth, until now. I am a scientist that studies the shape of the earth, and I find it flat, as do other scientists.
Elon Musk is full of it. You really believe he put a car into orbit? Do you know what temperature the thermosphere is claimed to be? Do you know what happens to balloons that go to "the edge of space"? Consider these, then consider a car has rubber tires. What temperature does rubber start to melt?

View making "needs"? You are not making sense. Are you trying to get attention? Your posts are 100% strawman, and 90% incoherent. Example:

Why is there a question mark at the end of this statement? It's ironic that you are badgering me for censoring a curse, while you butcher the English language.

I can see why you don't like it.
Also well done on not even being able to read newspaper articles. The virtual telescope project isn't affiliated with NASA, NASA just spotted the asteroid that the project is going to observe. Doesn't mention at any point in the article that the two are linked.
What an awful attempt at a rebuttal. Your unevidenced claims =/= evidence.
In fact if you'd bothered to check you'd see that Africa and Australia do get daylight at the same time for several hours at the start of the year.
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/australia/alice-springs?month=1&year=2018
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/south-africa/cape-town?month=1&year=2018
Feel free to check on any other resource, they all say the same.
7.5 hour difference between Cape Town and Alica Springs (and I could have chosen locations in the countries far closer together) and they get over 11.5 hours of sunlight each, ergo they share 4 hours of sunlight.
Now according to your claims and your evidence the earth is a flat disc with the sun rotating and sitting roughly above the equator. That makes no sense when compared to the daylight we actually receive as shown in the examples above which do correlate with actual observed daylight.
Of course the ultimate proof is that the spherical earth is the only available model, It's testable and answers every question and is able to meet the scientific standard of making predictions based on its model and getting them right again and again and again and again.

What an awful attempt at a rebuttal. If you had only pulled your head out of your arse and read my post before commenting, again (https://debateisland.com/discussion/comment/24631/#Comment_24631 and https://debateisland.com/discussion/comment/23634/#Comment_23634), you'd see that those "b. are not my claims, and
C) do not prove the earth is a ball."
"In fact if you'd bothered to check you'd see that Africa and Australia do get daylight at the same time for several hours at the start of the year."
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/australia/alice-springs?month=1&year=2018
https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/south-africa/cape-town?month=1&year=2018
Feel free to check on any other resource, they all say the same.
7.5 hour difference between Cape Town and Alica Springs (and I could have chosen locations in the countries far closer together) and they get over 11.5 hours of sunlight each, ergo they share 4 hours of sunlight.
Thanks for catching that, I meant south America, which has about 12:30 hours in difference.
"Now according to your claims and your evidence the earth is a flat disc with the sun rotating and sitting roughly above the equator. That makes no sense when compared to the daylight we actually receive as shown in the examples above which do correlate with actual observed daylight."
It isn't always above the equator, it makes a bigger circle in the December solstice, and a tighter circle in the June solstice.
"Of course the ultimate proof is that the spherical earth is the only available model,"
Lie, well maybe to you.
" It's testable"
Lol, testing the curved water now? Is it concave or convex?
" and answers every question and is able to meet the scientific standard of making predictions based on its model and getting them right again and again and again and again."
Except for:
1.eclipses (https://debateisland.com/discussion/1205/the-eclipse-debunks-the-globe-heliocentric-model-of-the-universe)
2. the motions of the moon and earth combined (https://debateisland.com/discussion/comment/21329/#Comment_21329)
3. Curved water, or lack thereof
4. the flat horizon at any practical altitude (aka reality), 5.lack of measureable motion,
6.the lack of specular highlight on the moon,
7. how a light from the yellow part of the spectrum (the sun) can reflect light in the silver part of the spectrum (the moon)
8. why the moonlight is cold, and makes fire burn hotter, while the sun's light is hot and is a fire deterrent
9. Selenelions
10. Currents and wind patterns

You started the conversation.
So in summary, you have a beef with NASA, a beef with some of the mainstream media, you have a beef with the earth itself, and you have a beef with any science that stands in opposition to your earth is flat ideology?
What say you?
Via this website, you educated me on the earth is flat ideology.

I don't believe everything I'm told either.
But it's curious for a fair amount of years now, how various individuals with their idealogies have gathered at this or that website, to in a sense express their (individual talking points) to whoever is maybe present on a website to listen to their one sided opinion and attitude about this or that subject matter?
Some examples;
The anti religious crowd?
(They verbally go after God, Jesus, and the Bible on a near daily basis?)
The pro recreational weed crowd?
(Taxation and revenue, and their use of the history of alcohol legalization to help promote the legalization of recreational weed use atop of that history?)
The pro illegal drug crowd?
(More taxation and revenue talk.)
Some of the above, view certain websites that aren't in support of their ideologies as being biased towards their individual points of view?
The catch 22 question is this, when a person expresses this or that point of view, a question comes mind.
Is this or that ideology pro society oriented, or is it coming across as more individual ideology oriented?

More personal attacks. Nothing I give is opinionated, aside from the relentless barrage of irrelevant questions. Once again you ignore my purpose here. I'm trying to prove the earth is a ball, or giving the debate island community a chance to do so, I think there may have been some information that I missed. Some people are here to talk about gun control, some about president Trump. You just seem to be here to play 20(0) questions (and ignore the answers to such).
"What did NASA personally ever do to you?"
My daughter brought home her first dictionary. She bought it at the book fair with my new she saved from her allowance washing dishes. Like me, she has an interest in reading and literature. On the cover, was this.
https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/187_1003705_americas_dxm.png
The dictionary is a representative of knowledge, not unlike the browser buttons, that people clicked to access the wealth of information that is the world wide web.
https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/globe
Shortly after, I saw the dictionary lay on the table and seeing it from the bottom side up,
I noticed this in the corner.
My daughter was 9.
So, not only is NASA lying to us, they're contributing to the process of MKULTRA on the masses, not excluding children. You may be fine with like, I'm just not.
"What has some of the mainstream media personally ever done to you?"
Liars.
"What has this planet ever personally done to you? "
Really? Do you remember asking this same incoherent question in your last post? Did you ignore the response?
"But boy, you do know how to platform your ideology don't you, you earth is flat super scientist? "
You seem to be at a loss in this debate, literally.
"Please continue to entertain the rest of the website Mr. Super Scientist.

, you're not debating, what you're doing is called "ideology pushing."
The mainstream media are 's?
Where's your evidence?
You expressing that they are 's to you is not evidence, it's your opinion and not fact.
NASA is lying? Same thing, where's your evidence?
So when you lack evidence, you seem to be at a loss for having a debate, right?
Why are you here?
You're here behind the guise of having a debate to promote your earth is flat ideology, right?

Maybe you are confused as to what a persuade me debate is. The OP poses a claim that he requests other users to convince him of. For example, if I were to create a pro marijuana persuade me debate and claim that the government quietly admits that cannabis cures cancer, then it would be your job to convince me otherwise. Your first 2-3 posts were in line with this line of debate, but since, you've done nothing but pose nonsensical questions.
"The mainstream media are 's?
Where's your evidence?"
That is off topic. This is another debate altogether. This is what is considered trolling, whether or not you know it or not, you persistently ask non related questions and avoid the topic altogether.
"You expressing that they are 's to you is not evidence, it's your opinion and not fact."
I don't feel it necessary to prove anything to you in a debate where I ask you to prove something to me.
"NASA is lying? Same thing, where's your evidence?"
Same as above.
"So when you lack evidence, you seem to be at a loss for having a debate, right? "
Pose that question to yourself now. This is a persuade me debate about the shape of the earth. NOT the mainstream media, NOT NASA.
"Why are you here?
You're here behind the guise of having a debate to promote your earth is flat ideology, right?
Yes or no? "
I'm here to try and get you to think for yourself. And the point of this debate is to give me ONE good reason why you believe the earth is a ball, despite not having seen a shred of evidence for it.
