Probably because some people think that a program about
the moon landing
being a hoax is funny, and not fodder for serious debate.
I've certainly
been under the impression that the messages in this
thread have been ranging
from tongue-in-cheek to distinctly mocking (fun mocking,
not nasty mocking).

This message has been nothing more than the Fox News Channel
bashing, that is why, hence debate.

(mildly curious why a 5 or 6 message thread in off-topic
is pointed out
instead of some of the many (often more clearly
mis-placed) threads in the
on topic groups...)

Because I do not like seeing debate material outside where
it belongs, among others.

I thought it was doing quite well where it was at until you came along.
Loosen up a little. Can you point out humor that doesn't make fun of or bash
someone or something else?
