I never know on the OT, who is joking and who is serious. I used to think those who denied the moon landings were dumb, and I argued with them on here and on YouTube. And even though statistics do show a direct correlation between low education level and belief in the moon landing as a hoax, I have evolved... and I really do not think you are dumb.

The moon landings did happen, and all "evidence" pointing otherwise can be so so easily shown to be wrong, to anyone with an open mind.

And again, I don't think you are dumb... you are a CULTURAL VANDAL. This is not a phrase I came up with, but I like it, and it fits.

If the Mona Lisa was unguarded, it would only take a few hours, or a day or so, for someone to come up and toss paint on it or shred it. Because of cultural vandals.

If you don't believe in the amazing achievement of mankind, something that we can all be so proud of, and still amazed by, the manned lunar landings of the 1960s/70s... I feel sorry for you.

Most importantly, though, Rest in Peace Astronaut Bean!
