I used to have lib friends. The only libs I know these days are immediate family and friends of 30 years and more. Even so, some of those relationships have become strained to the breaking point by the divide over politics.
Toeing the politically correct line on global warming is for peasants (tax payers) - not demigods like Algore. They're exempt from the rules, don't you know.
Does the name "Dennis Kucinich" ring a bell? /sarc>
Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas!
"It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM," John Coleman wrote in an article published on ICECAP, the International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project...

You can say that again.
How much stuff has NASA landed on the moon without a moon landing? Huh? Huh? Oh, and tell me why the film of the first moon landing was lost for 40 years, discovered about six months ago, told would be released, and hasn’t been? Huh? Huh?
I have seen those so-called films of evidence and they prove nothing. They have to have arrows pointing to something and calling them “landing modules”. Where is the flag that was supposedly planted there? Hurricane blow it away?
What about the reflectors we placed up there?
When you shine lasers/light at them, they reflect right back at us. Anyone with an observatory and the equipment can do this. I’ve seen it dome more than once on various science related TV shows.
Heh....you'll have to do better than that, if you want to play with me.
You're, of course, referring to the laser reflector that NASA placed on the moon's surface in the late 60s/early 70s. In that era, NASA didn't have technology sophisticated enough to land an autonomous, robotic device which could set itself up and orient that reflector to precisely point to a predetermined target on the earth's surface.
Hell, it took a live astronaut to pilot the LEM to the moon's surface and land it without automatic guidance control from the ground. We simply didn't possess the level of technology you're inferring until the mid-1990s.
So - how did NASA manage to place and precisely orient that laser reflector on the moon in the early 1970s?

Man, what conspiracy websites have you been hanging out at? I guess you've never seen any footage of the Apollo missions on television. That's too bad. Millions of Americans have.
Perhaps you're too young to remember, but all of the moon landings were televised live when they occurred. I watched nearly all of them, myself. As a matter of fact, they started to become so routine, that Americans started to become bored with them, and began tuning out. Truth be told, after the first moon landing, they did become pretty monotonous.
Unfortunately, ordinary people didn't have the means to make home recordings of live television in those days, so most of the footage that survived was in the hands of NASA and the television networks (who did have the ability to record these broadcasts).
What you may not realize, is, that no one in that day considered the enormous value of this footage. Remember that nearly everyone on planet earth who had access to a television set in 1969-71 had already witnessed these events in real time.
It wasn't until decades later that people began to insist that the best original copies of the moon landing footage be located and set aside as a national treasure. By that time, decades had elapsed, and it took a herculean effort to find the original tapes. As it turns out, many of them had been capriciously destroyed, either through neglect, or by willful negligence. Some had even been intentionally erased.
Your conspiracy theory has an answer. It's called bureaucratic incompetence. SNAFU.
What conspiracy sites have I been going to? I didn’t know th Examiner was a conspiracy site.

“You’re, of course, referring to the laser reflector that NASA placed on the moon’s surface in the late 60s/early 70s. In that era, NASA didn’t have technology sophisticated enough to land an autonomous, robotic device which could set itself up and orient that reflector to precisely point to a predetermined target on the earth’s surface.”
Ah, how about the Russians putting a reflector on the moon?
“Hell, it took a live astronaut to pilot the LEM to the moon’s surface and land it without automatic guidance control from the ground.”
They never landed on the moon. The only time they tried landing this on earth it crashed.
They are if they're publishing articles which claim that the Apollo missions never landed on the moon.
That aside, you're not answering my questions, or countering any of the facts, logic, and reasoning I've presented to you. You're not debating me in any meaningful way, ergo, you have tacitly admitted defeat.
Thanks for playing.
How 'bout it? Have they ever done so? Citation, please.
They [NASA] never landed on the moon.
Your opinion only. You moon hoax kooks have never proven that America didn't land on the moon.
As another poster upthread said, how do you explain the recent photographs of LEMs and the Lunar Rover on the moon's surface? Are those fake too?
“As another poster upthread said, how do you explain the recent photographs of LEMs and the Lunar Rover on the moon’s surface? Are those fake too?”
Ah, the photos. You mean this stuff?

I’ll bet these make believers out of people. NOT!!
I have no idea if the photos you linked are the same ones the poster upthread was referring to. You'll have to find that post and ask them.
You still haven't proven your assertion that the moon landings were faked, nor have you addressed any of the points I brought up in my earlier posts to you.
It's pretty clear that you intend to waste my time by continuing to assert your cockamamie conspiracy theory, and I'm simply not interested in listening to you do so, over and over again.
I gave you plenty of opportunity to engage me in a real debate, but you obviously have nothing. We're done here, friend.
Address your next post to "All" and see if you get any takers.
You gave me nothing that hasn’t been refuted. I don’t mean to change your mind, for those who want to believe in moon landings will always believe in them no matter what evidence is provided. So sayonara.
 DUDE! You really are delusional. Next you'll be telling us how 9-11 was a conspiracy perpetrated by the Bush administration!Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Yes, We Really Did Go to the Moon!

If you want off my ping list get over it!
LOL! Love ya, man.
Good comeback to the 'moonie'.
I watched that phony program. They didn’t prove a thing. Just a lot of “oh, those conspirators are wrong”. What a joke. If you believe their hooey then there is no reason for you not to believe in phony moon landings.
