Moon landing deniers and creationists are birds of a feather.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

No matter how many tons of evidence you throw at them, they'll go LALALALAICANTHEARYOU and stay happily and proudly dumb.

Discuss.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. OK, which of the two are unrecommending me?

[BlooInBloo]

3. Well, start off 10 in the hole due to trolls, tack on another 6% moon-deniers...

to get an approximate baseline.

[Speck Tater]

2. They are obviously all nuts. Eiffel Tower deniers, on the other hand, have uncovered the truth.

Tell the truth now. Have YOU ever actually seen and touched the Eiffel Tower in person? No, I didn't think so. It's a photoshop trick.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Heh. In fact, I've been up it. -nt

[Speck Tater]

6. You're obviously part of the conspiracy. You've been paid off. nt

[sutz12]

5. Nope, can't be...

I remember seeing the Tower in movies made in the 1930's. It predates Photoshop. But they've had some pretty good modeling artists in Hollywood for quite a while.

[Speck Tater]

7. Ray Harryhausen was part of the conspiracy. nt

[Journeyman]

16. I believe the Tower exists. I just can't fathom why it hasn't been stuccoed yet. . .

[ContinentalOp]

8. It's sad how clueless they are about so many interesting subjects.

Spaceflight, astronomy, photography, filmmaking... how could you be so ignorant about such fascinating topics?

[Oregone]

9. Its all a lie. God created the world in 3 days while on a Hollywood film stage

[Quantess]

10. Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese.

And it's only 10 miles away from earth.

[Creena]

12. And, this is how they move it around!

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. You're forgetting that someone knew someone who worked for someone who was related to

a person who was in Florida the day Apollo 11 lifted off of the launch pad and was pulled over by a Florida State Trooper who was convinced that after all mathematical calculations were done by someone who held the slide-rule while their cousin was looking at it who was related to a person who worked for Rockwell in Downey who knew that there was a camera onboard that would be used to take video of something that didn't happen. Let us not forget that you didn't know the person who calculated the radiation that the Van Allen radiation belt would be instantaneously deadly to anyone who passed through it.

Who the fuck do you think you are, that you can deny a conspiracy perpetrated by Lyndon Baines Johnson happened? How stupid can you be?

[Occam Bandage]

13. As are 9/11 MIHOPers, as are anti-vacciners, and as are paranormal believers. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

19. Bullshit, bullshit, and how the fuck can anybody really know.

but still even the paranormal shit has nothing to do with fake moon landings, and neither has anything to do with the reckless greed of drug companies, and the proven lies of the Bush Crime Family.

[Occam Bandage]

30. People who are willing to do away with the burden of proof in favor of innuendo are the same,

whether they happen to agree with you or not. There is no meaningful difference between a moon landing denier and a MIHOPer, except inasmuch as one believes garbage you find politically acceptable, and one does not.

[Politicalboi]

21. You may think we're all the same

I believe we went to the moon, but I don't buy fire taking down steel and concrete and turning that concrete to dust. Or that NORAD fucked up 4 times that day when they had 45 minutes before the plane hit the tower. Or that the "terrorist" didn't fly out of NY. I guess they were lucky NORAD fucked up that day. Just to mention a few. Come to think of it, maybe the WTC is still there because I have never been to NY. Maybe the whole thing was a fake. Or maybe they have an invisible cloak covering the WTC. Just because you have no interest in finding out the truth about 9/11 doesn't mean you can put us truthers in the same category.

[apocalypsehow]

24. I put "troofers" - of whatever conspiratorial stripe - in the same accurate & useful category:

LOONS

[Occam Bandage]

31. I do, yes.

"I don't buy a tin can taking humans through radiation belts and the vacuum and cold and heat of space. Just because you have no interest in finding out the truth about the moon landings doesn't mean you can put us and the 9/11 wackos in the same category."

[mr blur]

25. And Jebus followers. And Muslims. nt

[Telly Savalas]

29. So your suggesting that Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a clueless fuck

whose personal philosophy is as fundamentally flawed as that of a person who believes the moon landing was faked?

[givemebackmycountry]

14. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

EVERYONE knows the MOON landing was staged.
EVERYONE knows the earth is only 6000 years old and that Jesus rode dinosaurs.
THAT'S not important.

WHAT I want to know is...

Where is the goddamn birth certificate?

[parasim]

17. wow, just realized how much you beat me to the punch.

[givemebackmycountry]

20. And I'm surprised too...

I just checked out your blog.
You've got some serious talent.
And a fellow Floridian to boot.

[parasim]

32. Thanks! I appreciate the kind words about my blog...

I haven't posted much there in awhile, but it's nice that you acknowledge it.

[parasim]

15. Aw, that's old school.

They're all birthers now.

[apocalypsehow]

18. To the conspiracy theorist, any factual proof to the contrary of the theory further reinforces the

magnitude of the conspiracy.

Thus, to the conspiracy theorist, by definition any concrete evidence that contravenes their worldview is simply more proof of how vast and all pervasive the conspirator's "reach" into every nook & cranny of public life truly is.

Take a gander at the September 11 forum, for instance. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again the sane posters down there - the non-CT'ers - post solid, factual evidence, almost always backed with accessible links, that render whatever section of the LIHOP/MIHOP thesis they are addressing absurd.

And what is the inevitable CT'er reply? A lot of gibbering, cursing, and babbling.

The dedicated Conspiracy Theorist is as mentally ill as someone with severe BiPolar disorder.

[lexanman]

3. You are happy, you just don’t know it - FACT!

4. We all come from the same tree - FACT!

5. Everyone is related to everyone else, except for people with red hair - FACT!

6. Sperm does not exist - it is a lie spread by biology teachers - along with everything else you have ever been told - FACT!

7. Men are supposed to lie with nine new partners a week. Women are supposed to lie with six, except for in July, when they must lie with five men a day - FACT!

8. Aliens exist and are present on earth. If you have a birth mark, you may be descended from Kraff, the famous Emperor of the 4th Paradigm - FACT!

9. Trees talk, but only some people hear them - FACT!

10. People who believe in something live much longer than atheists, and they have eternal life thrown in for good measure - FACT!

12. KIFFLOM - HAPPINESS IS YOURS! KIFFLOM!

[tblue37]

23. Also birfers and Holocaust deniers. nt

[Spider Jerusalem]

27. And 9/11 'truthers'.

And anti-vaccine nutters.

And people who think JFK was killed by some combination and/or permutation of the CIA, the KGB, the Mafia, pissed-off Cubans, J Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson.

[JVS]

26. I don't deny the moon landing, but I'm thinking of taking it up as a hobby. It seems to piss...

people off and make them act like complete assholes.

[Q3JR4]

28. Bah, you and your evidence-based

facts. Come on! I can change whatever I want about reality just by wishing for it. With a single whim the moon landing was staged, big foot and the Loch Ness Monster exist, aliens crash landed in Roswell and the government has been hiding it from us for years, creationism explains the hows and the whys of the universe, 911 was let happened or was made to happen on the whims of three people in government, years ago congress, the president, and all justices of the courts were murdered and replaced by ground weasels who now secretly run the U.S. with an iron fist.

That's right. All reality flows from the narcissistic head of Q3JR4 and the rest of you are just pawns in the horribleness that is sloughed from my stone-dark raving mad mind.

Or...you know...not.

Q3JR4
Despite the previous post, Q3JR4 is a firm member of the reality based show-me-evidence-for-your-random-belief-or-go-f$!k-yourself community. He accepts that the universe is governed by reason and facts and that, ultimately, science is one of the only tools that will allows us to discover those facts.

[troubledamerican]

33. Moon Landing Deniers and COINTELPRO are birds of a feather.

[S_E_Fudd]

34. It's about money...

Too many people make a living off of this shit for them ever to acknowledge the truth. JFK assassination conspiracy, creationism, fake moon landing, birthers, UFO's...these have all developed into muti-million dollar industries.

For many people peddling this acknowledging the truth would be putting themselves out of a job. So they have a vested financial interest in keeping a semblence of controversy going...
