I would like feedback on my you tube videos "math challenges the moon landings", pt.1 and pt.2. I have used triangulation and stellar parallax to show the moon is under 4000 miles(6436km).

If that's your real name, wouldn't you be more productive picking up a rifle and screaming, "Allahu Akbar?"


Not all persons with foreign-sounding names [to your ears] are cowardly, insane terrorists.


The moon landing thing takes care of the insane part.


Any more than those desperately needing assault rifles and body armour are wife and child beaters and mass murderers of the defenseless.

Why was this home-grown, cowardly terrorist wearing a bullet-proof vest to church?
Might somebody throw a bible or prayer book at him in self defense?
That would indeed have been "god moving in mysterious ways!"


One has nothing to do with the other.


Really?

33,000 gun deaths annually in the US. Compared with foreign terrorism?
You'll have to search hard for the numbers.

How many dollars are spent in fighting gun crime compared with the trillions fighting "The war on terrorism?"
Which, it could be argued was caused by illegal American invasions of foreign countries.
Causing destabilization of formerly supported, brutal dictatorships.
Which were only tolerated provided they would "fence" their natural resources.
In exchange for arms to fight their tinpot wars but mostly to contain their hideously brutalized people.
