Have you ever believed something that turned out to be wrong?

by slimboyfat in

apart, of course, from the obvious example of believing the evidence-free assertion of the governing body to be god's representatives on earth.

not to side-step that issue, but i wonder if it might be interesting to relate that huge mistake to other things i've been wrong about and how they compare and contrast with the big one.

That photo was taken by NASA. Also, I'm not disputing the unmanned missions. Objects could have been sent to the moon. My issue is with the moon landings.

...there are also other telescopes that have taken pictures of the lander.

I am confused now. You claim that NASA flew the lunar lander onto the moon, left a rover on the moon, left mirrors that can be measured to exist by laser on the moon, but they just didn't include a human in the lander?

In other words, Is the lander on the moon or not? (pictures would suggest it is), and if so, when did it get there?

If man did not land on the moon, when was the lunar module placed on the moon?

Why would it be tricky to strip British-born Jihadis of their citizenship?

I just said I don't know the specifics. If you are interested in this topic, why not try google? I mean, it is your countries laws after all right?

In many countries, mine included, removing citizenship for people born citizens of a given country is very difficult, whereas putting them in jail is relatively easy.

I don't want to derail this topic out of respect of the victims so I will bow out of this discussion.

luhe: I think it is tricky to take away citizenship to people who were born British citizens but I don't know the specifics...

I think a better solution is to pass a law that when you fight for something like ISIS, you are making yourself guilty of the crimes committed by ISIS as well as treason against the UK. in my country, you are legally under the same rules regardless which side you are fighting on in Syria and I think that is insane. going to fight for ISIS should be a 10 year+ stint in prison.

That's the point of border control, to keep dangerous people outside the UK.

That is true.

And the point of intelligence services/police is to investigate and keep track of UK citizens traveling on legal UK papers who are returning from the battlefield abroad.

We can now keep explaining the obvious to each other...

shocking admission on univision: obama policy led to rockville rape.

by jorge bonilla | march 22, 2017 | 1:06 am edt.

below is a full transcript of the above referenced segment as it aired on noticiero univision on march 21st, 2017.. maria elena salinas, univision anchor: well...much indignation has been caused by the brutal rape of a student- a young student that...had been abused by some central american teenagers.

This OP is rank race baiting.

Welcome to Hecces posts, but he can do much better. Here is he promoting the racist stereotype all middle easterners wish to kill us

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6252821018050560/they-hypocrisy-trump-admistration-on-st-patricks-day?page=2&size=20

The Middle Easterners want to chop our heads and our other neighbors don't show much respect for us;
(then there was a picture of a mexican man grapping his crotch)

Yep, we are down to the real old-fashioned racism.

Simon:

The mistake you are making is to take "no massive attack ... yet" as being evidence that "there can be no massive attack ... ever".

Well, I believe no such thing.

Please! You have called me out for reading things into your posts, now you are doing that to me.

Obviously this shows how important it is to place extra surveillance on more competent Jihadis such as those who will be returning to the UK after the Islamic state finally fails as they have real weapons training and know how to make bombs.

I don't agree with Muslim Mayor of London that "oh well, you just have to accept it".

I only think that is true in the same sense we have to accept pedophilia.

Another thing I used to believe: That renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro) could not be counted on as providing a significant part of the worlds energy needs but we must go nuclear. I *think* this is false today (or at least I don't know it is true anymore), but at some point, I hope to revisit some of my previous sources to see what has changed.

This is awful. Being shot was too good for this bastard.

Only good thing is that this attack shows the Jihadis in the west are not organized enough to equip a lunatic like this with a carbomb or even an automatic weapon, or those who are are under to close surveillance by the British intelligence services.

I guess the next big test will be what happens when the remaining terrorists of ISIS flee the caliphate as they are better trained. hopefully they are also easier to identify.

sbf: my understanding is that peak oil was correct insofar as known reserves were concerned but new technologies such as horizontal drilling, fracking/the use of chemicals to increase yield and new reserves such as shale oil/gas made the predictions obsolete.
