Flat Earthers call off the dogs! Your message has been heard loud and clear. Stop the emails. Please forgive me for using your organization as an example of the most ignorant in society. You are possibly only the second most ignorant. · Hendrick Van Loon Ignorance: “Any formal attack on ignorance is bound to fail because the masses are always ready to defend their most precious possession -- their ignorance.” Your organization is not the Flat “World” Society; it is The FLAT EARTH SOCIETY. Please forgive this writer for the oversight in recent article comparing global warming to the FLAT World SOCIETY.
· Anonymous “Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Your arguments are succinctly similar to “AlGoreRhythmic” positions established in the global warming myth. This writer lacks qualifications to determine which ignorant idea is more ignorant; both are pretty stupid but it looks like AlGoreRhythmic ideas about CO2 gasses causing global warming are probably a little more so than arguments you use to draw flat earth conclusions. Your reasoning is summed up well in your statement: “But why? Why do we say the Earth is flat, when the vast majority says otherwise? Because we know the truth.” Al Gore uses the same strategy for his ignorant proclamation “man made CO2 emissions are causing the earth to warm.” It is so because it is the truth, is his mantra also.· Bo Britz "The unaware are unaware that they are unaware"
· Miguel Deunamuno Y Jugo Ignorance: “The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks he has found.”
There was no indication Flat Earthers would be so offended by comparisons to Al Gore and the global warming myth. Sincerest apologies are extended for any offense taken by Flat Earthers and the Noble Flat Earth Society. There was no intent to condemn or belittle self imposed ignorance regardless of source and after reading and studying the Flat Earthers mission statements and objectives there is convincing documentation, your position is more sustainable by “facts” you present than those used by AL GORE to support the Global WARMING MYTH. So therefore you are the second dumbest group.
Both the Flat Earth Society and the AlGorerythmic, believers seem to wear their ignorance as a badge of honor they have won in many battles they have lost to truth. They never learn, they are incapable of learning.
American free speech, fairness and equity demands equal consideration for equally ignorant ideas regardless of who may present them. In the spirit of acceptance of freedom of speech, to be as ignorant as one may choose to be; the following data is offered for those in the global warming gang who may want to gear up and get into a group with a little more accurate understanding of our flat earth and how to interact with it.

Flat Earth Society Mission Statement “For centuries, mankind knew all there was to know about the shape of the Earth. It was a flat planet, shaped roughly like a circle, with lots of pointy things hanging down from the underside. On the comparatively smooth topside, Europe sat in the middle of the circle, with the other continents scattered about the fringes, and parts of Africa hanging over the edge. The oceans lapped against the sides of the Earth, and in places ran over, creating currents that would pull over the edge ships that ventured too far out to sea. The space beyond the edge of the world was a dark realm inhabited by all sorts of unholy beasts. Fire and brimstone billowed up from the very depths of hell itself and curled 'round the cliffs whose infinite length jutted straight down to the darkest depths . . . .
Then, in the year of our Lord fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, it all changed. For decades a small band of self-proclaimed "enlightened" individuals had been spouting their heretical nonsense that the Earth was in fact round. Citing "proof" based on nothing more than assumptions, half-truths and blind guesses, they dazzled the populace with their " . . . undeniable mathematical and scientific evidence . . . that the world is shaped not like a pancake, but an orange!"
Rightly wishing to dispel notions regarding the alleged citrus-like shape of our planet, the Church was able to either silence or execute nearly all the fanatics. But a small handful remained, continuing to spread their blasphemous speeches and to promote their heretical ideals involving the very center of the universe.
One of their number, who called himself Grigori Efimovich, would later be known to the rest of the world as Christopher Columbus. Using an elaborate setup involving hundreds of mirrors and a few burlap sacks, he was able to create an illusion so convincing that it was actually believed he had sailed around the entire planet and landed in the West Indies. As we now know, he did not. What Efimovich actually did was sail across the Atlantic Ocean to a previously undiscovered continent, North America, and even then only to a small island off the coast. It took him several years more even to "discover" his blunder and claim it as a " . . . new world". But the damage had already been done, and mankind entered into what we now call its "Dark Ages" . . . .
Enter the Flat Earth Society. For over five hundred years humanity has believed the "round Earth" teachings of Efimovich and his followers. But all hope is not lost. For through all that time, a small but diligent band of individuals have preserved the knowledge of our planet's true shape. And now, after centuries in the Dark Ages, we believe that mankind as a whole is once again ready to embrace the truth that has forever been the Flat Earth Society. Using whatever means are deemed necessary and relying heavily on a callous disregard for the lives and well-being of our members, we have slowly but steadily been spreading the news.
But why? Why do we say the Earth is flat, when the vast majority says otherwise? Because we know the truth.”
I agree you should be given equal time before the US congress to present your ideas just as Al Gore was given time to do so. It is only fair your society gets the same opportunity to present your ignorant ideas about how things are.
· Winston Churchill Ignorance: “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
This writer disagrees with both your positions but will defend your right to express them in this free society as long as it maintains freed.
As for me, I rather rely on someone with expertise in the field than laymen, or novices that rely on anecdotal evidence to document things they have no knowledge or comprehension of.
· William Blasé “To ignore the evidence, and hope that it cannot be true, is more an evidence of mental illness.”
· Anonymous “One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.”
I sure won’t be going to a politician to work on my heart or fix my teeth. I will go to the professionals just as I will on these flat earth and global warming arguments.
· Marcus Tullius Cicero Ignorance: “Wise men are instructed by reason; men of less understanding, by experience; the most ignorant, by necessity; the beasts, by nature.”
Al Gore and the Flat Earth Society are by all definitions not “instructed by reason” nor “by experience.”
For those instructed by reason, you still have an opportunity to educate yourself by reviewing the BBC Documentary on the Great Global Warming Swindle.
