The burden of proof is on the accuser. You have accused NASA of lying to the public. Prove it's a lie. Show us photographic evidence the lander isn't there.

Because nobody on earth has a telescope powerful enough to see a 15' wide object 385,000 km away.

Don't have much free time these days but I haven't given up working on my memo app. There's some UI errors but those will be fixed:

@snugg.. True communists want everyone to benefit equally. It's nice, but impractical. This vicious hatred of wealth and the wealthy is something far more sinister than simple communism.

@LightRider that's not capitalism. That's crony capitalism. Big difference. Abuse of government power is not free market. Communism is much closer to institutionalized slavery.

anyway, I've used up all my bch in this delightful conversation. So I guess capitalism wins this round

Of course, whether it's capitalism or socialism, it doesn't matter. The best of everything go to the elite. Best homes, schools, hospitals, roads, etc. All only accessible to the system's elite.

And if you had a private health care system and insurance, you would have paid roughly the same amount (when you consider your taxes are your insurance) and not had to wait at all.
Jim Phillips

Yes you do.. You just pay insurance in the form of taxes.

Did you know that if you put a 100% income tax on the "evil" 1%, you wouldn't get enough to pay for even one socialist program like health care?

BTW, the top military salaries put them in the so-called "1%" you people hate so much.

The military's top generals make hundreds of thousands a year and are virtually guaranteed high level positions when they join the private sector.

You think the generals at the top haven't exploited the soldiers below them to get where they are? Money is not the only form of capital. Sometime's it's power or prestige.

The naive are the ones who believe exploitation is anything other than a fact of life. Both socialism and capitalism exploit those who produce.

The factories in Russia and China didn't have capitalist masters. Instead the communist party leadership were the masters. Socialism doesn't eliminate masters. It just appoints them.

It might be *possible* for non-capitalist businesses to do what capitalists do, but it's not likely to happen.

Which is exactly what you socialists want to do. You want to take money from those who have and give it to yourselves, making you richer at another's expense.

Typical.. When your opponent cites an example you can't refute, rage quit. He didn't ask if Elon Musk deserved his wealth. He asked if you are stating that Elon Musk doesn't work.

In collectivism, you have no freedom. You must comply with the will of the collective. Otherwise you are excised from the collective.

Says the poor person who has no concept of what work really is. Just because it's not manual labor does not mean it's not work.

This is the problem with collectivism. It can only work if all members of the collective are completely selfless. Otherwise chaos ensues as individuals think for themselves.
