Title: Trouble in Woo-Woo Land
Post by: BertieSlack on December 10, 2015, 03:29:50 PM
Ever wanted to see Flat Earth loonies and gormless 'rockets can't work in a vacuum' fruitcakes get into a fight with orthodox moon landing deniers? Pull up a chair, crack open a beer, and watch this:



The only way this can get better is if the 'NASA are hiding evidence of aliens on the Moon' crowd turn up.

I think you should have stated that it was a blunder video as I don't like pushing his view counts, however, he still denies man on the moon while giving evidence that the world is indeed roundish.  Rockets do work in space.  So for those two items I have to agree with him, but he needs to learn about physics and science and quit attempting to show that man never landed on the moon.

The irony part is that he actually has the nerve to use the argument trotted out by hoaxers to deny the landings, like the shots in zero gravity that are far longer than possible in a 'vomit comet'.

I particularly enjoyed his obvious mental backtracking about Armstrong, whose first docking in space paved the way for...erm...all sorts of other dockings in space but not Apollo obviously...

He's a jerk in the first class, no matter how he goes about his pitiful daily life.

For first class "rockets don't work in space," check this place out...........it's really unbelievable. I suppose I say "first class," is because you don't have to submit petition to join, the ONLY reason I join such sites is to check out the new posts.

Anyway, here it is, in all it's glory:

The truth is not democratic and matters of fact are not determined by the outcome of internet popularity contests. In the comments section of Jawwah's video there is a flat-earther who thinks his side is winning because the video has more 'thumbs-down' than 'thumbs-up'. "My gang is bigger than your gang" is hardly a solid epistemological position, even if the twoofers think it is. A few extra views on a JW video hardly legitimises his position on Apollo, even if it strokes his ego a little. And it would be amusing if this turns out to be his most-seen video.

But I'm not going to analyse it too much - it's just extremely amusing watching a mendacious self-regarding peddler of untruth get swamped by uber-idiots.

You forgot entertaining.

As a critical thinker with any sense of humour, you MUST get some enjoyment from watching two groups of complete idiots trying to out-stupid each other.

Its rather like watching a real-life version of Monty Python's "Upper Class Twit of the Year Competition" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSqkdcT25ss); you enjoy the off the wall stupid antics while not giving a fat rat's arse who wins!

Oh my giddy aunt.

He still thinks anyone actually gives a damn (that matters) about what he cannot prove.

Brought a titter or two.

Who is Vinny Eastwood anyway, sounds like two actors mixed up, might make a good western/east end London cross over film.

It's almost amusing listening to him rant on about people who don't have a clue about science denying the Earth is round. A little bit about people who don't have a clue about science denying the Apollo landings...?

Welcome to our world, Jarrah. The interwebsphere is full of crazies. Gonna stay on the Dark side, or wake up?

You think Vinny Jones is an actor?

He is actually a has-been footballer (round ball type) and when he was a footballer, he was particularly nasty piece of work!

Yeah, I know his history and with that club etc. Just a thought for an interesting cross over. Lock Stock ws the one that had me thinking of it. :)

Being a former soccer referee, that is a description of many of them

These days there is quite an overlap between the professions, though footballers really tend to overact (especially the Italians).

Quite an art to holding ones shin and looking like it is the end of your career then getting up when the ref has not seen it (or refuses to see it). See it a school boy level as well. Endemic I think. It is what the game expects. At least in rugby, you know someone has hit you. Usually because they are eating your ear or something.

I particularly enjoyed his obvious mental backtracking about Armstrong, whose first docking in space paved the way for...erm...all sorts of other dockings in space but not Apollo obviously...

His tribute to Armstrong was contemptible, on one hand celebrating his achievements and on the other denying that the technology that led to those achievements was the stepping stone for Apollo.

That made me laugh very loudly Obviousman. Thank you very much. It reminds me of a YouTuber called stalkervision who claimed that the CM was not sufficiently shielded to pass the van Allen belts, while simultaneously claiming that the Apollo 8 astronauts sighted UFOs while orbiting the moon (claims which were covered up of course).

I thought they did see a UFO, it was disguised as the Moon.

Nah, that must be a theory already.
