the earth is a perfect square. I can't get in to everything but the most obvious proof that people like you guys and the common uneducated can understand is the simple fact that in the UK they drive on the "right" side of the road(right angle) but over here we drive on the "left." If this wasn't done UK and US drivers would crash in to each other on occasion.
The reason The US and UK government keep this from us is actually rather simple, isn't it? It's to keep people from jumping off the edge to commit suicide or "see what's out there."
The film Cube
was actually a thinly-veiled documentary that was loosely based on the science and history of square earth theory. Some things are clearly made up but the anti-hero is named "Alderson" and there is a member of the US Government with the last name "Anderson." The connections are way too obvious to ignore. Really at this point if you aren't already highly suspicious then it's pretty obvious you are a sheep who just accepts "science" from school(government supported school) and the media.
The earth is rather thick and its makeup is really nothing special and what's beneath it is the same thing that's above it, space.
It isn't the least bit surprising that custer and jmakin are so combative to a lot of this, they are so firmly set in their believes that to learn otherwise would destroy their reality. I'm sure people like PoundingTheUnder, DCifrThis, and supafey will disagree for almost the exact same reasons.
It's worth pointing out that this really shouldn't affect anyone too much and that's why it's rarely discussed. The council meeting OP posted is just a hoax though, sorry.
