Oh man. I mean JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR my above comments were sarcasm and my shirt was being worn ironically. Plus, wow. I mean to be honest if even I were pro-Hitler I don't think I'd go around talking about it all the time. How does that even come up in the context of a normal work conversation? "Pianotm, see if you can find those reports, so you don't accidentally slaughter millions of Jews." "Dude I don't think that's how it happened." "Oh what? Yeah totally, he was just a misunderstood visionary, he was just asking for basic stuff like tax paperwork one day and got sort of angry about it, and his officers took his annoyed grumblings out of context and started putting all the inferior races in gas chambers."
Oh, no. He insisted that the murders never actually happened and that it was all fabricated by the media. This was one of the lectures I got treated to. The Holohoax, he called it. One sure way to get him in a fit was to throw facts at him.
Another thing he lectured about was how we didn't actually land on the moon but that it was all filmed on a Hollywood set. I would ask him why the government would even go to the expense of perpetrating such a hoax. He'd just go on about how if they tried to go to the moon, the men would be baked inside of the ship and come back dead.
Oh God, sounds like he's been reading the same shit my brother reads. Something about a radiation belt that surrounds the Earth - at least my brother can be forced to face facts when I point out that we can handle radiation just fine, that there are many different kinds of radiation and that the space ships are deliberately made with radiation-protective materials.
(At least bro never suggested that the Holocaust wasn't real. If he did I might have to disown him. Or punch him. Either would do.)
And I can see why the government would do such a thing as fake a moon landing - for one, they needed (in their eyes) to win the space race and landing on the moon would be the best way to do so in a definitive manner, sending those 'commies' into a tizzy.
That said, I don't believe it was faked. It would be nice if they'd let people go back there again. There hasn't been another moon landing by human foot for quite a while now. We're due another one.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I just watched that Star Trek episode. Good stuff.

Though I can't agree with the holohoax theory, there is some ground to the moon landing thing.
We, of coarse wouldn't be baked inside the ship, but we had reason to fake it. We had full intent on going to the moon eventually, but we had to do it fast. We had to prove we were more advanced then those Sputnik chumps. So we went through all the trouble to fake it, ya know?.. or something like that, I was never concerned enough to formulate a real opinion.

I know right? They call it the Van Allen Belt and Moon Landing hoax truthers say it's impenetrable. And the problem with theory that the US had to prove they were better than the "commies" is in that by the above logic, if we couldn't penetrate the Van Allen Belt then neither could the Russians.
Meanwhile, NASA has successfully developed an anti-matter engine, a microwave propulsion drive THAT DOESN'T NEED FUEL and now has working warp drive models (before you flip, please note that in a strict scientific sense, warp does not equate to faster than light, rather it refers to travel via the compression of space). And we're sending a mission to Mars. This is a very exciting time for space travel. To bad we have that pesky Van Allen Belt in the way (Warning: cannot guarantee that this post is snark free.)...that Belt that isn't even there all of the time.

I watched a very convincing video where an expert neckbeard explained in a great amount of detail why Hollywood didn't actually have the technology in 1969 to fake the moon landing.

I remember having to listen to some guy a few years ago spout to me that the U.S. Government actually instigated 9/11. He shoved a bunch of obviously photoshopped garbage in my face and made the argument that the government willingly made the Twin Towers' structurally weak so the plane could destroy the buildings easier.
I would have punched him, but I was afraid of going to jail for assaulting the mentally disabled.

I don't think there is a law specifically for assaulting the mentally disabled, pretty sure it's just for assaulting people.
That said, after attempting to patiently explain how unbelievably wrong he is, providing him with unedited photos and what facts are available, pointing out the harm he is doing to people who lost someone in the attacks and finally realising that he's a moron, I would have hit him with a brick.

Nibiru reminds me of Nabisco.
The end will come in the form of crunchy, delicious, low-calorie treats.
Given the way some of these fanatical health/diet gurus and other medivangelists talk, they might actually believe in a Nabisco apocalypse.
Mmm, apocalicious!
Yeah, I've seen a lot of goofy stuff on TV or via Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc, and its always hilarious yet frustrating to look up a lot of these talking points on the internet and find out that they're full of shit to an astronomical degree. For example, I've seen multiple programs bring up the Prie Reis map and how it "shows the sub-glacial coast of Antarctica, hundreds years before anyone could have known. Obviously aliens told them about it", but if you actually look at the map, like, literally nothing on it looks the tiniest bit like Antarctica. Shit like this goes beyond the usual kinds of confusion or ignorance that keep most conspiracy theories afloat. This is just outright lying for the sake of selling stupid books and videos, and I'm actually genuinely a little bit angry to see this shit show up on the History or Discovery channel. I know these channels aren't exactly REVERED for their unwavering dedication to factual accuracy, but if this goes anymore downhill in a few years they'll be talking about Time Cube like it's a concept more than three people take seriously or something.

I only watched a few episodes of that and forgot it already. Could it really be much worse than any of the other reality programs they've got on there now?
I mean, it used to be the Hitler Channel, then it was the Hysteria Channel. So what is it now? Just the Hnngh Channel or something?

It's only worse because last year, and the year before, they were showing it for six to ten hours every single day. It was literally nothing but pawn stars for my entire nine hour work day every single day, no exceptions, for probably about half a year. Other episodes were playing later in the evening or at late night.
The show itself isn't bad. A lot of the stuff they show people selling on there is legitimate history and they have experts come in and talk about it. It's just, like, holy crap.
Looking at their schedule now they seem to have diversified a bit. Different reality shows each day, and even some actual documentaries in there. That's nice.

Yeah, Pawn Stars is like the redneck Antiques Road Show. It's just not the only thing I want to watch.
Yeah, the Hysteria Channel is right, followed by National Paranoia and the Dysfunctional Channel. I got into an argument with my father one night about the Holy Grail. I'm like, okay, I've actually read Robert de Boron, Chretien de Troyes, the Vulgate Cycle, Wolfram von Eschenbach, and the Mabinogion. Your source is a television show produced by a studio that thinks the Pyramids were built by aliens.

Dude, the pyramids weren't just built by aliens, man. They were, like, harnessing "energy" with their shape alone and transmitting it between other pyramids across the world as an ancient global power grid, maaaan!
(but seriously, what's with all this hoopla about aliens coming to earth for gold and energy. Like, gold can be found in asteroids and such all over the universe, and you don't even have to genetically engineer and alien species and train them in the art of mining to get it. And energy, like... is that giant fusion reactor 8 minutes away we call THE SUN not enough free and easy energy for you guys?)

I genuinely enjoy Mountain Men. Maybe it's because I grew up in Texas and actually do a lot of the things they do.
EDIT: I like Pawn Stars if I am drinking and have nothing else better to do.

I wonder whether veggies have sympathies for hitlerian extremists. My friendo, who is vegetarian and is kinda annoys others with it (Like: Don't touch my tofu with that filthy meat of yours). He pretty much adored Benito Mussolini and Italian Fascism for some time. The point is that every kind of fanaticism, vegetarianism can be, is aggressive and therefore Hitler's strict lifestyle is elongation of his racist manners. Meat was like Jews amongst food for him.
