Moon Hoax

Unfortunatly, there are only two ways to truly know if something is true. One is to be there and witness events or actions first hand or experiment to find your answer. The other is basically the same as the first, and that is to get your information through a device incapable of lieing, like an uncompromised computer (this is really only necissary for subatomic reactions, insanely huge math calculations, maps of the galaxy, ect.) In reality we can't actually trust anyone (I know I sound paranoid, but its true). People always lie and decive, they may not think they are but if they get their info from a bad source, or misunderstand data then they are essentially lieing. No one really likes to be fooled, it makes you look like an idiot. Also people hate it when a lie is told, especially if they belive that lie and fight in defense of it, i know i hate looking like an idiot in front of peers when i defend a lie. Any lie really will anger most people, unless they have a really good sense of humor and they don'd defend it full on and look like an ass. The film Dark Side of the Moon is a good example of this, by the end of the film it becomes obvious that its a joke and there are no hard feelings. Well, you dont like being fooled, but at least nothing bad comes of it. Anyways they kinda hinted at it being a joke during most of the movie. For one the proposed CIA leader guy wasn't speaking english. Also you never heard the questions, and the interviews were edited. Near the end it became much more obvious though. The guy that was "burned to death in a car accident" looked unscathed and there were a bunch of santas around him. And the guy that was suppolsedly cut up into little pieces and that was a suicide. How is that even possable?!?!? What are you going to do, chop off your arm then give the severed arm the machete, hatchet, surgical saw, butcher knife, sword, axe, sawblade, cleaver, ect. and have it chop you up then throw itself into a meat grinder? Or are you just going to jump into a meat grinder and get squeezed into the creepy intestine resembling tendrels of meat? That was really the bit that sealed the deal of "This movie is a joke" for me. I was pritty sure that it was fake, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I thought that other than to make a point this film was fairly pointless. It was boring and serious, but still not educational at all and its only concievable porpuse was to make a point. It would've been fairly easy to believe had I not been granting a slight fraction of my attention to the movie (in my defense it was really boring, and i was really tired, and i didn't have a pillow to sit on). Some of the points that were made seemed factually sound and convincing. The only part that i really could've beleaved was when they talked about the cameras and the flag and the footprints on the moon.
