Plagiarize half a seed of ill-formed idea, google until blue and moist, then embarass with salty rumour, bruise lightly, humiliate until dry, then remove any credibility with small pruning scissors; then half-bake. For presentation, liberally sprinkle with screenshots or little smiley faces - I've found this suitably distracts the reader from the unpalatable taste of tart lie and screaming inconsistency. |

I notice Bee Positive didn't answer the question. Maybe he missed it because it didn't have a question mark at the end.
Conspiracy theories are not about the 'issue' but about the psychological state of the questioner. It probably comes down to having been breast fed too much or not enough. Whatever. It's all about 'you'.
Sad, really. Maybe even pathetic. But does all the attention gratify your need? I doubt it. |

OK, the gloves are coming off now.
You're not an educated or thinking man, Ya-ta boy.
I read your posts and I feel sorry for you. You are so far below the intelligent discourse of intelligent, rational, educated people that I just plain feel sorry for you, standing outside in the cold, as you have been for, well, all your life now, shivering, nearly frost-bitten with ignorance.
If you can't bring yourself to understand that conspiracies are part and parcel of life, if you're so completely set in your ignorance that you refuse to be reasoned with or informed in any way, then I just plain feel sorry for you. I've never even met you, but it just plain saddens me to know that someone as outrageously and even belligerently ignorant as you is out walking the streets.
Conspiracies, so far from being nonexistent, are the stuff of life.
Tiny little example for you: The contract I signed with my hakwon several months ago explicitly states that my salary is a secret, and that I am not to divulge it, under penalty. God knows why.
I've observed the rule. Just yesterday, a student asked how much I make. I told him that it's a secret.
That's small potatoes. I challenge you to start thinking. NSA, CIA, FBI, US military intelligence, MI5, MI6, MI4--yes, MI4, didn't know about that one, did you?--Russian intelligence, Chinese intelligence, the Mafia in its various configurations, YOUR LOCAL DRUG DEALERS, hell let's throw in the law-breaking sex-provider which I surreptitiously visited just the other night (sorry, Dave!), hakwon owners who employ foreign teachers illegally---NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED IN CONSPIRACY?
I'm almost tempted to write you off as a troll, "Ya-ta boy," since you refuse to look reality in the face.
YOUR PARENTS CONSPIRED IN A LIE WHEN THEY TOLD YOU THAT SANTA CLAUS EXISTED! Get it? Seriously, man, how many more examples do I need to adduce?
It's truly sad that you regard yourself as my intellectual superior when . . . well . . .
I'm not gloating. In fact, I'm hoping earnestly that you get a library card and start reading. Your eyes may begin to open as you learn about life.
Given time, you'll likely grow up someday. The world needs you to be an informed and intelligent adult, Ya-ta boy.
By the way, "Ya! Ta!" This is how you pick up chicks? OK, so I pay 60,000 won a visit, but at least they say yes.
Stop cruising and get an education. A REAL one. Please!
And no, I'm not being very nice here, but then you weren't very nice to me, were you? You haven't read as many books as I have. You haven't thought through the things I have. You're playing the part of a middle school-aged goofball who imagines himself superior to his teachers and parents on the basis of . . . well . . . just about nothing.

| 60000 won? That's it? Where do you go. Hook a brother up. Seriously, that's cheaper than dinner,drinks and a movie and you're guaranteed to get some. PM me please |

Maybe this has something to do with your outlook on life- why not try a scientific experiment?
You could do something like this: Stop believing in ridiculous conspiracy theories and then see if you can't get a real date with a woman who isn't a prostitute. |

| Hopefully, the last post was facetious, and "Bulsajo" is not suggesting that big budget/big military industrial complex backed film productions should deferentially be given more credence than smaller, independent productions (despite President Eisenhower's warnings...) |

Hopefully that last post is not being facetious and rteacher isn't actually discouraging people from seeing these 'controversial' images up close and in all their glory, instead of grainy snippets on kooky websites?
Rteacher, after that last post I think you've pretty much committed yourself to going and reporting back to us.
Stop waving all that incense around and hop to it!
P.S. the film says that it is showing previously unreleased footage. |

| I haven't been to a movie theater in years, and IMAX movies make me dizzy (... I was mainly trying to find words that almost rhyme with "specious" - like "capricious" or "feces" -- Don't get me incensed!! ) |

I don't know when it's playing in Korea, but I'll be going to see it sometime this week or next.
My prediction: I doubt that watching this film will manage to sway me from my irrational belief that the moon landings were in fact exactly what they appeared to be. |

| I confess to not really following most of the recent posts on this thread. Are you really suggesting that the Lockheed-Martin sponsored, Tom Hank's produced film would have any interest in uncovering any hoaxes that may have been perpetrated for propaganda purposes?... |

If you had followed the thread you would see that the only 'evidence'- the emphasis here being on "only" and not so much on "evidence"- that conspiracy theorists have is purported visual 'discrepancies' in officially released photos and videos. Therefore you would think that being able to see for yourself this officially released footage in such detail could only bolster the theories of those who believe the whole thing was a hoax, right?
And certainly a chance to examine footage which conspiracy theorists have not yet had a chance to examine (due to its not having bee npreviously released), well what conspiracy theorist in his right mind would dream of passing that up? (rhetorical question, BTW) |
