I was once given the opportunity to visit a friend out in New Mexico.

He write about a lot of skeptical topics, so I knew it would make him laugh when I emphatically said that the landscape scared the shit out of me...no trees, so flat. Waaaaaay too easy for the aliens to suck you out of your car.

Seriously though, it freaked me out. In the east, at the feet of the Appalachians, there's a continual resonance in the air because of the plant life. In summer in NC, even in the cities it's lush. Take away the cars, you still hear the murmur of the wind through foliage, like waves in the ocean, or a constant shushing.

Out there, even when the wind blew, it was so quiet. Barely anything stirred. There was too much sky.

They don't call it "Big Sky" country for nothing. I miss it actually. I grew up along the foothills of the Rockies and everything to the east was flat and treeless. I lived in Idaho for a while too. I think think the canyon-lands is some of the most beautiful scenery there is. I admit it's pretty treeless though.

Here's a treeless bit of Utah, but it sure isn't flat:

Those trees are scary. You never know what might be hiding behind them.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Of course it is. Don't let any of these dimbulbs tell you different.

See? Completely flat. Who can argue against that?

Shopped, obviously. C'mon, you know that in heart you know it's flat.

These folks have some issues.

The only thing they have over the xtians is that there really is an earth.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

It's hard to tell how real they are and how Poe the are.

I saw the video yesterday and was intreuged by it. I'd heard about the "Antarctic wall" version of the flat earth silliness, but this slangy gravity thing is possibly stupider.

the only thing that breaks that argument is that humans have been exploring the artic and if there was a edge of the world i would jump off of it because i would want off of it due to the idiocy in the south.

shouldn't we tell people we don't like to find the edge of the world and jump off of it?
