NASA says humans could land on Mars in 25 years

I was just bugging you, I don’t take much seriously enough. I do think people who buy into every conspiracy theory aren’t any more aware than people who dont think critically about anything, a lot of the time. To be honest, I read as much about the moon landing today than I maybe ever have, because I just felt like arguing with you and I’m bored. I haven’t “been fooled”, as its nothing I’ve ever felt strongly about and really makes no difference to me what the truth is, was all well before my time anyways. Plus I’m Canadian and therefore have no claim to anything besides being polite, and I can’t even pull that off.

You sure can’t you are a complete dickwad

Hey c'mon guys.... it's a bonafide argument, being carried out more civilly than 99% of the arguments on the forum lately. That in as of itself is refreshing to see.

On the topic itself, I'll just put it this way. The moon landing conspiracy theory, for lack of a better description, hasn't really taken off until relatively recently (I believe), at least as compared to the timeframe of the moon landings themselves. In other words.... the hoax claim didn't come out right off the bat after the landings. Thus, for many years, the vast majority of people were content with believing what they were seeing, hearing, and reading. That majority would include me. I never found it necessary to go back and dig deep to find out whether the landings were a hoax or not. Surely the motives were there. The space race with the Russians..... the commitment from JFK that it would be done..... and just plain old national pride. But I'll say right off the bat..... I'm generally not a fan of conspiracy theories. It seems everything nowadays is a conspiracy. This all sort of blends in nauseatingly with the Fake News phenomenon made so popular nowadays by President Trump. It's mind-boggling to think that nothing's real anymore. Maybe we were too innocent back then. Maybe we needed to become more jaded and skeptical about everything. But boy, does it suck to live this way.

I'm not going to weigh in on the lunar landings, because honestly I haven't been moved to read about them till now..... and hadn't had any reason to question them before now. Obviously it's an important topic, but TBH I'm just not moved to dig deep to find the real answers. Enough of the fake news and bogus facts spewed regularly on this forum by agenda-driven people, for me to take on yet another "truth that isn't really true."

It's all a bit sad, really.

All good buddy, I've never professed to being smart.

I look at it like the matrix with the red and blue pills. You have the choice.

I'm not claiming to be more aware than anyone else, but look at how quick the evolutionists left the thread when challenged on the belief in a theory. Believing an unproven theory so strongly, with no observable evidence, is the same as believing the bible. Blind faith.

Thing is this thread started over talk about going to Mars. That's happening now. Not in the past.

I’d say regarding evolution, if Anyone disappeared it’s because it’s not really possible to argue with someone who just wont accept any evidence that is or can be presented. I agree with Fensters take there. Obviously there is a lot man doesn’t know, and I doubt we have any biologists posting in the thread, so what do you expect. I’ll assume you don’t believe the mars rover landed either? No offence at all, but it’s just kind of a headache to have these arguments. If you like, call it a matter of predisposition, as neither of us knows enough about the subject to provide anything worth debating. You think it’s comical how fooled I’ve been, my guess is there are plenty of people who’ve worked at NASA that think the same about you.

So what evidence would you like to provide for evolution? I love that there's this idea that there's evidence for something that is still a theory. Can't really be called evidence tho can it. I'll gladly accept it. The scientific method says it MUST be observable and repeatable. Give me 1 piece of observable evidence.

I wasn't meaning you when I said it's comical. I was talking all of us. Programmed by the media, blindly following stories we have been told.

With space it seems the only time in history when we have gone backwards with technology.

Tito, you are OBLIVIOUS to facts. You deny them because you are like a creationist and believe despite the evidence that all men are created equal. Humans are very different and traits among certain groups exist in some more than in others, so bring your grudge out all you like, the fake news is your own. It need not be a terrible but to deny evidence is false.

[Gandalf]

Missing word was 'thing'...typo. There is likely far more research into IQ than that of the moon landings as we analyse people constantly. Many tests are a form of IQ test. We do not analyze the moon to the same degree as it is just a faraway rock (at least it certainly appears to be). Millions are being checked for intelligence every year. Even within America, which means people have similar access to education, IQ differences are clear. This really cannot be called bogus facts or fake news. The possibility of the moon landing being bogus is more likely than scientists making up IQ data. We have all the evidence for that and it grows yearly. It is important to be aware as we can then work on environmental factors. That is a positive thing and should be considered seriously.

Miles, I don't know who pulled your chain, but you're obviously on permanent "knee-jerk mode".

FFS tell me where in my last post did you get ammunition for your tired "you're oblivious to facts" parrot-like grunts. I'll continue to believe that all men are created equal until someone much smarter than yourself proves to me otherwise.

Now..... I'm purposely avoiding falling into another "Miles-Beanz nuclear war"..... but you appear to be starting your girly stalking mode.

Knock it the fuck off. If you miss fighting with Beanz, go find him and you guys can do handbags at dawn.
