Moon Landing?

[D3V]

Who think it's real, and who thinks that it was fake/staged planned out, shot in a studio, etc.





/Discuss








I recently had thought it was real, for a long time before I actually did any research, but just like any 9/11 conspiracy there's tons of flaws in both sides of the argument, like literally every statement can/could go either way, which makes it hard to decide for yourself. o_O

I'd bet a lot of the 'research' you did involves false/hyperbole facts. Usually the anti-moon-landing people using weird theories/arguements to disprove the moon landing but these can be countered with common sense and science, generally. I'm not going to spoon feed you on this one, keep researching I guess.

I for one am content knowing we've been to the moon.

[timmay1113]

We have been to the moon, simple as that. People wouldn't be dying in space shuttles for a hollywood hoax. God I hope not anyways.

[slaynish]

I think we went to the moon. There's no way that those nasa guys could keep it a secret that long.

[gruesomeBODY]

We have been there. Where do u think the rocks came from?

[Dar_Win]

They're just really big kidney stones.

You can tell I'm right if you just look at them closely.

[slaynish]

LOL..


No way.

Next time im near one, ill confirm this theory

[!King_Amazon!]

Yes we've been to the moon.

Anyone who's not wearing a tinfoil hat would know this.

So that's what I've been doing wrong all this time...

[D3V]

Yeah, but it's fun to be skeptical.

[Demosthenes]

Skepticism is innocuous as long as it is recognized as skepticism. When it is preposterously exaggerated and asserted as fact without sufficient, or in some cases, any real evidence it ceases to be innocuous.

[!King_Amazon!]

You're just trying to sound smart now.

[Lenny]

Don't think he needs to try, to be honest.

I don't think the Moon Landing was faked.

That would certainly be the goal of using elevated vocabulary. It's basically the same reason I would want to type properly. Although of all my posts, I'm surprised you would comment on that one. Those are words I like to throw around commonly.

[Vault Dweller]

I applaud your linguistic prowess and grammatical dedication, two attributes oft found to be lacking in the modern world. Thank you, sir.

[Thanatos]

You wouldn't guess he's only 16, either.

It's not elevated vocabularly, it's extra.

[timmay1113]

16 and able to kick my ass... well at least not while he was crippled lol.

[Demosthenes]

Fine. I'll dumb it down.

"Skepticism is harmless as long as people know and let others know that they are being skeptical about something that is commonly believed as fact. On the other hand, if they exaggerate it wayyyyyy too much and say it's fact without much, or sometimes any real evidence then it isn't harmless anymore."

If that helps you, great. My guess is it doesn't.

I choose to use an elevated vocabulary in my posts because that is the most succinct way I can think of to unequivocally convey my point to the best of my abilities. I don't do it simply to be pedantic.

MJ you're just being sarcastic with your writing, and are using words that don't need to be used, even if they are elevated the purpose itself doesn't change, the factual matter you have presented will still be... the same damn thing. But if it makes you feel better, keep going at it, you're only wasting your own time.

You're incorrect. I honestly can not impulsively think of a more succinct way to present my point with equal clarity as above that is not phrased the way that it is phrased above. Facts are facts no matter how they are presented. Clarity and succinctness, both virtues when posting, are, however, compromised. I'm a bit incredulous that I'm actually being patronized for trying to exemplify those two virtues.

That, and I've become so used to writing this way that this is natural now.

Somebody should probably split this thread. I seem to have inadvertently dragged it off topic by posting on topic too logically.

[Thanatos]

Hmm... D3V's kinda right man. It's hard to follow your train of thought when you type all sophisticated like that. You don't have to go out of your way to sound smart. We all get it, niqqa!

[Demosthenes]

Fair enough.

[Vollstrecker]

Boo, you even made me look up a word, I haven't done that in years. :)

There's no "clarity" when nobody knows what the fuck you're saying.

Heh. This sounds somewhat familiar.

[!King_Amazon!]

Well, back when you were on the other side of the spectrum, I probably said similar things on occasion.

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it
