What if the flat-earth people get ahold of a whole bunch of shovels and make the earth flat just to prove their point?
Earth is flat. Prove me wrong.
Sort:
The depth is not uniform. I just dug down 6 feet in my front yard and struck the bottom of Mt Everest (yes it's labeled in Latin on the bottom) I planted a flag, sang the National Anthem, took a photo and went in to watch Mike and Mike on ESPN.

The government thought of that and stuck 50% tax on shovels.

So the earth doesn't rotate? The sun just goes around the earth in 24 hours? What's on the other side of the earth? Dinosaurs maybe?
The sun and the moon are fixed around the north pole and revolve. The sun completes a full cycle in 24 hours. During the northern hemisphere's summer, it is further north and revolves more slowly than it usually does. During the northern hemisphere's winter, it is further south on the earth and revolves more quickly to compensate for the increased distance that it must travel. It may be impossible to go onto the bottom side of the earth because there is no gravity; the earth just accelerates upward.
:O

Well, what the round earthers refer to as the northern hemisphere.

We all know that the flat disk we live on is spinning counter clockwise. The hard part to grasp is that at the same time it "flips". Imagine flipping a coin in the air, but slower. Once every 24 hours, giving us the day and night. Scientists refer to this as the Flipping Rotational Law of Planetary Discs.

Manned missions to Space? Only monkeys have been there.
No human is dumb enough. Once NASA explains the radiation exposure, only the monkey raises his hand.
Thank you so much for all the jokes here!
By the way, you do know that gravity allways points to somewhere we call 'down'. But where it points in case of flat Earth? (Hint: It's not 'down' anymore as clearly as we all can see/feel it.) Sure, I know some people don't believe that a vulture can fly backwards before they see that happening. But this doesn't mean vultures can't fly backwards... We just need one person to see it first. 
I play the Vulture at every opportunity.
It's too late anyway. The polls have closed, and the voters chose that the earth is flat. I hope that you all enjoy living on the flat earth!

You can't vote for a flat earth. It's either flat or it's not. Or maybe it's flat sometimes, like soda pop!
@A_G_A, why are you spending so much time doing this?
To expose the round earth conspiracy I suppose. Denialists of a flat earth severely impede all future progress.

Is there a problem? I have plenty of time.
I can't prove you wrong, because I've never seen it all at once! I just don't know :) coffee, anyone? lol
If one goes past the edge of the disc, gravity would drop precipitously...thus slowing down "time", and skewing any attempt at measurement.
That could account for any discrepancies in observed phenomena.
