Is It A Ball, Or A Disc??

I have recently discovered that there are a worryingly large number of people, mostly stupid Americans as far as I can tell (no offence to my Stateside brethren), that believe the Earth isn't a Globe but a Disc?!? I just can't get my head around it!
Bizarrely it's not just that though but also Space and the known and unknown vastness that is the Universe is all a lie and basically NASA and all the other countries' space agencies are a sham and all missions to space including the I.S.S. and Hubble are not real!
Since the first one in 1969 there have been people that claim the Moon Landings were faked but that was down to how far fetched and Sci-fi the idea was at the time. The new theory is that what is known of outer-space is not real. If any of you are among us and are willing to admit it I'm interested what could cause this belief?

Sorry for Rambling and there is no need to call me a Kn*bhead, I am well aware.
 

At first I thought flat earthers were just a bunch of people on a wind up. Then I realised they are serious, so mentally I put them into the crackpot category I reserve for approx 60% of the people I come across.

Thousands of years ago Aristotle (or was it Erastosthanese (sp)?) proved the earth was a sphere using nothing more than his staff and the length of its shadow at noon as he travelled. Thousands of years later the Internet has given voice to the opinions of those who would lose a game of chess to a bluebottle.

I blame the education system!
