Everything you've been taught is a lie from the government. The world is really flat.
Here's an informative website on why the world isn't round.
Just so you know, this post is completely sarcasm except for this sentence and the word below it. This space is completely white. There is nothing here. Do not highlight it.
Discuss.
I really thought you thought the world was flat.

In the Efimovich model, the planet Earth is supposed to be a large, spherical shaped ball of rock flying through space at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. But how could the Earth continue to move at the same speed for as long a time as the "round Earthers" say that it has existed for; namely, several billion years. If outer space were a vacuum, then there would be no problem. But space is not a vacuum, it is instead filled with ether. The earth would have to have been pushing its way through the ether for all those billions of years. Shouldn't it have slowed somewhere along the line? What would keep the Earth from grinding down to a stop at some point on the Efimovichian timeline?
Hmm... I love how they assume that friction can exist in a scenario like this, seeing as how the "ether" would pass through the atmosphere, much less actually make it to the Earth without burning up.
Your music tastes are bad, therefore your argument is irrelevant.

Re: The World is Really Flat.
The Earth is flat and the moon is just the reflection of moon island on the ceiling.
The sun is a hole in the ceiling that lets light in.
You can go around Earth because when you get to the edge, a nice talking little boat transports you at the speed of light to the other side.
If you were to go to the ceiling and get out, you would find yourself in an endless world of nothingness.
Here is an actual picture I took from a viewing platform suspended from the ceiling:

Re: The World is Really Flat.
You guys are close. the earth is a 2.5D triangle floating in space. The penguins Hijacked all the satellites, not the government. They changed all the pictures and photos (not sure why). They are causing global warming to make the world cool again. No, I did not just invent this right now. Ask my friend ILuvPeanuts

Once again, picture in your mind a round world. Now imagine that there are two people on this world, one at each pole. For the person at the top of the world, (the North Pole), gravity is pulling him down, towards the South Pole. But for the person at the South Pole, shouldn't gravity pull him down as well? What keeps our person at the South Pole from falling completely off the face of the "globe"?
Gravity pulls stuff to it's center. A round Earth is actually the logical reason why it works. They're both being pulled to the center of the Earth, not just down.

Exactly. If gravity acted in one direction we wouldn't be alive. Even if the Earth did exist it could not maintain an orbit around the sun and the moon could not maintain an orbit around the Earth.
In both cases each object would be attracted to the one directional gravity and then keep going.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

I your backwards theory, what would happen if the Earth turned upside-down?

There is no such thing as upside-down, it can't be defined. We could be upside-down right now, our entire Universe could be tilted. Direction only matters from perspective- so down isn't really logical
unless you're talking about Down's Syndrome, where this is completely logical
