Flat Earth Hypothesis

I am curious to what you guys think of this flat earth lark... and yes I refuse to label it as 'theory' because a) that's grossly wrong, b) it's failed spectacularly to meet any burden of proof or evidence and c) because it's bollocks.

I stumbled across this during some browsing on Facebook where I follow NASA and The ISS for their wonderful videos, only to see the mental defective skidmarks trolling the pages essentially with this flat earth nonsense.

I got talking to one who told me how NASA was a fake government organisation that CGIs everything and was run by Nazi's... (I shit you not!!!) Furthermore, I was sent a link to a YouTube video of a model of this 'flat earth' in action with the sun and moon within a 'dome' and acting like a spotlight because it's only 5km or so away... Oh and we're surrounded by an ice wall guarded by the UN apparently.

I raise a quick question rather then going balls deep with the gentleman I spoke to, and after noticing he was American I asked how this model accounted for a solar eclipse he would see himself that runs east to East coast and also considering mercury and Venus transit the sun they too must be sitting within the 'dome' above us...

Funnily enough I got told to open my eyes and feel the truth... to which I replied, you feel and I'll think.

Is this a serious thing? I'm seriously concerned about the mental faculties or lack of with some of my fellow primates.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or if your someone who subscribes to this... why?
