Flat as a Pancake

The Earth is definitely not a spinning globe. However, as I said earlier about brainwashing... and also precious mentioning old people who have basically accepted it to such a point that it's simply not worth the hassle to look for alternatives.

It's true. They are concerned with living out their lives on the memories they have and the upkeep needed to keep them thinking like that. They have no extra time for being nudged to think that their lives may have been built on a poop load of lies.
They will argue to the point of full on emotion if they were challenged on their lives or coaxed to offer alternates.

Sit in a pub/club and mention that the Earth is flat, and soon enough you will be known as the irrational nutter that is an end of the worlder. It doesn't matter that you don't hold up a sign or ever mention that the end of the world is nigh. The mere fact that you offered an alternative to the indoctrinated drivel, is enough to have you branded as an odd ball doomsdayer, simply because you offer a thought that people are not willing to compute.
Put it this way. Go and walk into a infant school hall filled with infant's and mother's and speak the truth. Go and tell all the kids that santa claus isn't real and that their mam and dad buy and lay out all their presents. Once you do this, be prepared to make a hasty exit, pursued by angry parents baying for your blood. Why?...because you told a truth that is like an unwritten type of crooks rule of don't grass.

Now to be fair, you can argue that santa is made up and is done for all the right reasons. For joy and the fantasy for kids. That's fair enough, but it's a lie whether it's for that reason or not.Kids are made to believe in fantasy world because it's a conditioning tool for when they grow up to believe in the adult fantasy world and accept it - because, after all they grow up from believing in santa to actually realising he's bull, yet carry it on to their own kids.
Imagine working hard all year to fill the room with presents for your kids and then hand the credit for them to santa claus. The same santa claus that can be in any shopping centre Teach your kids that the man with the white beard and the fat belly and red and white clothes, is your friend no matter where he appears.

It's the same as the tooth fairy. Your hard earned money to pay for a tooth that you actually own already, considering you made the child...but the fictional tooth fairy gets the credit.
Of course, I'm not trying to put a doom on Christmas and such, because I remember my excitement. All I'm saying is, it's a conditioning tool like a million other's and we all appear to fall into a category of certain thoughts. We watch films of santa and the tooth fairy, plus a whole host of other stuff that looks real. Of course, as adults we know different, yet most want to hang onto fantasies that are as clear as day faked, starting back from 1969 rockets and moon - or earlier sputnik satellites. Sputnik is anagram of SPUNK IT, because that's what they're doing with tax money to show you a fictional ball with silly antenna's on it.It's all believed because people need an adult fantasy because their kid like one's have had to be passed down.The next time your kid is looking at a book of santa flying in his sleigh or the global Earth picture...just ask that child which one do you think is real. The answer (more than likely) will be that both are real and yet your thoughts are going to be that santa is fiction and the globe is real.How do you know santa is fiction? How do you know that the globe is real ?

In both cases it's because you were told so, at some point in time. It comes down to common sense and logic and your common sense allows you to discard santa but not the pretty ball that can only have been taken from space. Conditioning at it's best. We are gullible creatures by mass but there's always the black sheep at both ends of the spectrum. The criminal/violent black sheep or the THINKERS. The rest are merely the grazers who are happy with their lot. Question only what's required in the material world but not the masters that deliver it.

So, when you watch a circus act balancing on a large ball....boo them because that is clearly not a skill. We can all do it, can't we? It's just that our ball is a lot bigger.... isn't it? The next time someone pours water on a big ball and it cascades off it, tell them it's a trick ball because our ball that we live on, holds water easily and none falls off. When santa comes from the clouds with every present your child asked for, that you are sure you never bought...or when the tooth fairy turns up showing you all your teeth from being a youngster,etc...then believe in a globe by all means. Even I would convert back.
What's the chances eh.

Keep believing in fairy tales sheeple.'"

It seems that you don't believe in gravity as well.
Do you believe in gravity?
Not to be confused with gravitas. We know you're a stranger to that term.
