If the Earth is Flat...
« on: June 04, 2008, 10:08:11 PM »
Why is it when someone flies constantly in one direction, they ultimately return to their starting point? If someone says the Earth is a continuous loop, I will promptly shit my pants.

Why is it RE'ers think pilots just go out for a quick around-the-globe flight before lunch?

I went for a quick around the world flight.  It took me 6 days if you count the one I got back when we crossed the international dateline.  My airplane was a time machine that day.

You really believe I think pilots go around the world whenever they feel like it? People have flown around the globe and have found themselves in their starting positions. You have no facts to rebuke me. I wish you people would back up your bullshit and nonsense with facts, because then it wouldn't be so...  :(

I wont rebuke you, let me re-butt your seemingly non-butted butt.

Circumnavigating the earth has never been accomplished by setting a heading once then letting the plane "fly straight." Pilots make frequent corrections based on land-resting objects and land-resting transmitters, compass readings, and rarely celestial observations.

No pilot will ever circumnavigate earth by magically "just going in a straight line"

Well, as long as they don't hit the mystical ice wall... That would suck. (If it existed)

It's hard to take anything you say seriously when you've made no attempt to familiarize yourself with the theory you're so bent on destroying. Knocking over straw men is easy. It's harder to study FE and make knowledgeable commentary.
There is no problem circumnavigating the world in a FE model. When you stop wallowing in your filth, look into it...

there is a problem actually, because the word CIRCUMNAVIGATE actually means to go around a SPHERE. I have read your FAQ, and I know what I'm talking about. The filth here is yours, mate.

Circumnavigate means travel in around something, dipshit. It has nothing to do with the objects shape.

Jesus, read the FAQ. Circumnavigation is possible on a Flat Earth!
