Yes, otherwise common sense tells me that people on the other side of a round earth would just fall off. That doesn't happen, so it is flat.

mmm sometimes wish i were able to 'fall off' the ole bitch of a mother earth .. seeings i cant ha, just trying to trade a non man on the moon scenario, for the flat earth one??
confused myself, so please dont ask ha

annnndd i am Fucking off, dont need to tell me....ha
Was a teen (no age given ... in case............) when i told a farmers son, to Fuck off..he made fucking motions, as he fucked off..we 2/3 kids cracked up..........
tbh
we never really knew what fucking motions were, a farmers son obviously would have ..

It's not that flat, what with the dunes, and all. I think south of Lafayette, it's uber flat and boring. But....that's just me.

/The earth is round, see; it's just a big old fountain in Jesus' living room.

You're right - I love the dunes but it gets flat way before Lafayette. And nearly all of that flat boring land was forest (or swamp) when white men arrived.

True, I don't get that far south that much anymore.....Shame.

I know far north, just south of The Dunes, it's pretty flat. Starts rolling more once you start getting south, over by Cedar Lake, and stuff. Fun places to drive, that's for sure.

There is an area called Kankakee Sands owned by the Nature Conservancy that is in the process of being restored that I love. Many species have returned that were absent for some time. If you're into wildlife, it's worth checking out.

I'm not sure whether the legislatures of states such as Indiana are dumber because they believe in Creationism or because they think these ridiculous bills will pass Constitutional muster. It is truly an embarrassment on the US that greater than 50% of the population believes in creationism over evolution.

It's really frustrating having so many of these folks around - I sometimes get myself in trouble by speaking up. I'm afraid I've lost some work by offering up what I thought was a reasonable retort to some of the crap I've heard. My elderly neighbor thinks only male landowners should be allowed to vote and you should go to debtors prison if you can't pay your bills. How's that for old school?

I really am tired of hearing how backward the south is.

Indiana is the south? Yay, I learned something today...


i knew it couldn't be in the midwest, thats for sure! looking at a map, it always seemed like it was in the the mideast if you ask me. -as its no where near the west, but I didn't know it was in the south...

:biggrin1:

Only culturally.

Hey, maybe south of say the Kankakee River, but....There are some cool parts of Indiana. Mainly up in the Northwest Portion...Outside Chicago....


/Yes, parts of Indiana did send soldiers to the Confederacy during the Civil War, and there were counties that allowed Slavery in Indiana.....

Not sure about that. Both Indiana (1816) and Illinois (1818) abolished slavery by their constitutions. There may have been some slaves before Indiana became a state. And racism, while slowly dying, persists to this day.
Some individual southern sympathizers went to Kentucky to join up with the Confederates.

from Wikipedia:

Despite significant anti-war activity in the state and southern Indiana's ancestral ties to the Southern United States, it did not secede from the Union. During the course of the war, Indiana contributed approximately 210,000 soldiers and millions of dollars of equipment and supplies to the Union. Residents of Indiana, also known as Hoosiers, served in every major engagement of the war and almost every engagement—minor or otherwise—in the western theater of the war. Indiana, an agriculturally rich state containing the fifth-highest population in the Union and sixth-highest of all states, was critical to Northern success.
