People, get real, why spend money on nuthing? You could just send me to a trip
to the moon!

I voted for Apollo 11 also, but would have liked to seen a combination of sending them to the moon and the nursing home one. Send them to a nursing home on the moon! That way they won't clutter up the earth...

spreading their stupidity! At least they were contained before--now they're on the loose everywhere!"?

OK, but you have to take at least 2 moon hoaxers with you. You don't have to bring them back.

Only take one HB to the moon with you.
I'll have the other seat.
Radioactive GM Crops.
Slightly above background.
Safe to eat.
But no activist would dare rip it out.
As they think it gives them cancer. |

I voted for "Ignore". Most cost effective.
I would attend a banquet as stated in items #1 and #2, but only if Hannibal Lecter was the Toast Master.
I'm disappointed in your Apollo 11 choice, Piltdown. As you may or may not be aware, there are currently 110-120 UNRECOVERED bodies of stupid climbers on Mt. Everest, due to the harsh conditions. Now you want to litter a sacred Apollo landing site with no means for natural organic decomposition. Although, it would make an interesting lab experiment.
And the Bronx Zoo choice wouldn't work, either. The lions would eat the prime rib and spit out the HBers. I mean, give 'em SOME credit for discriminating taste.

Yes you are right a one way trip will cut back on costs somewhat but that will still be far too much money to wast on such opinionated attention seeking fools, which is why I voted for the last question.

If nobody were stupid enough to watch these moronic shows, they would cease to be produced in the first place.
My television set is usually *off* except for occasional news programs, or science programs which are not put out by morons like those who put together the Anti-Apollo-Moon-Program fiasco. Let the idiots watch them. If you do not know that they exist, then you will keep your sense of life about the good stuff which is going on.
I make a lousy skeptic, because baloney is so utterly boring to me that I cannot waste any time with it.

i was watching a faux new show, the oriley factor, and oriley was interviewing some twit about crop circles, saying no body knew where they come from. well the origin is well known, perptrators of said crop circles have given excellent demonstrations on how they do it.
as long as the "news" media needs to sell advertising, they will fob off nonsense as reality.

Not exactly on topic, but I wonder if UFO proponents realize that the only things aliens have allegedly done in 50+ years of "documented visits" to this planet are:
1) Fly around with their lights on so they can be sure to be seen from the ground, but not actually assist themselves in any other way, and make crazy aerial maneuvers so as not to be confused with a human-designed craft.
2) Chop up various livestock and steal their organs
3) Kidnap rednecks (I live in the deep south, I'm allowed this euphemism
4) Selectively flatten parts of cornfields
I don't know, maybe this is all to distract us from the real plot to give technology secrets to our government.
This signature does not exist. |

You're right about the "selectively" part, PhDreamer. What's wrong with soy fields? A large amount of acreage in the U.S. are planted in soy beans each year. Nice, lovely green texture. And with the proper equipment on board, they could make tofu on the spot. How about a cabbage field, with stacked cabbages in geometric designs? Not to mention a pumpkin patch. The contrast of the orange pumpkin designs against a green viney backdrop would be delightful from high altitude. You might add to your list of alien shortcomings that they really haven't advanced beyond Extraterrestrial Art 101.

What should happen to moon hoax proponents?
The moon hoax proponents are *getting theirs* many times over. Their children (and grandchildren/descendants) will get the chance to grow up scientifically *challenged*, fully ready to believe that any idea can be shoved down the throats and into the minds of their fellow citizens. The Moon Hoax proponents will reap the negative anti-rewards. Also, they will need to live with themselves for the rest of their lives thinking about their anti-scientific agenda and what it has cost the children of our great country. Perhaps, worst of all, the Moon hoax participants may actually believe the ignorance they have foisted upon the public. That will be punishment enough. To go throughout one's life knowing nothing except garbage sounds as if it were a real treat!

We'll all end up paying for it. Remember, their scientifically challenged children will one day be registered voters, teachers, and politicians. For those of you out there who have kids: teach them well. There's a lot of silliness rampant in the country now, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better.

I swear, Piper actually said this over on the BadAstro board, several weeks ago. Made me pause and think that he might have been taking all this stuff just slightly too far. His theories aren't even the most convincing HB ones out there, but he's willing to die for them. Yiiii.

Brainwashing: Telling people something they want to hear, complimenting up their ego, slightly twisting facts numerous times in order to completely reverse said facts.
So when does our first report of NASA faking the WTC incident come in? After all, it was their fake flying contraptions that were featured. We all know the Bible says that man can't fly.

Brainwashing is a bit more complex then that. You have to make the person being brainwashed believe what you tell them and never question it.
As for the WTC incident I could probably come up with a few conspiracy theories but I will be using Occam's razor.
