...I honestly don't think threads like this are a waste at all.
1) you read something and you decide for yourself which side of the issue your gut says is true.
2) you read what other people say and you remember who they are and how they approach the issue.
3) you learn to either give them credit or respect when next they post or learn to question anything they believe or post.
It is fantastic! Look at Phage for example (one of my heroes) he made a quick post, nailed it, and didn't even bother to engage in what was the obvious. More cred to his cred already.....why is that important? Because if he ever comes out and says in a post..."yeah, that be ET." then it is like Obama saying..."yeah, we be attacking..." nobody will doubt it.
All you have is your credibility...it has serious value.
Here, or on any place that you interact with strangers, you need to "prove" your credibility.
I love these kind of threads because it helps me weed, helps save time on deciding which "recent post" I will bother reading.
....oh by the way, I read the article first and when they were making an issue over the "Christian" debate rather than emphasizing the fact that some rock with an "Angel" was found on the moon...it didn't pass any type of sniff test.
ATS is kind of like American Idol for me....you lose your cred...you sang your last song.

Hrmm.... wouldn't it be nice, that when a moderator moves something to the HOAX forum, they actually say WHY in their post instead of forcing the stray reader to read the entire friggin thread?
Well, unless of course the moderator is trying to get people to view the entire thread, in order to get more ad impressions....
Seriously.... why is this marked hoax? I don't really want to read the entire thread, but I'd like a concise reason in the post where it was marked as a hoax.

A thread is only made popular by those reading, starring and flagging and responding. If members want this tabloid article out of sight, stop posting to the thread, go flag and star and post to a worthwhile thread to replace it.
It's you the user the who determines what is worthy or not, don't like it... Don't respond. Let the thread die it's natural death. Allow those who choose not to read carefully to make errors in judgment and laugh silently knowing you have the knowledge they don't or vice versa if you are believer.

WASHINGTON, DC - A noted scientist has just produced proof that the lunar surface was inhabited by intelligent life: a 10-inch angel sculpture embedded in a moon rock.
Geologist Dr. Morris Charles revealed last week that NASA lab workers chipped the angel from one of the rocks brought to Earth by Apollo 11 astronauts 40 years ago, in 1969. Dr. Charles was a NASA scientist himself for 23 years but left the agency in 1987. He still maintains close ties to many of his former colleagues.

whoa!!!
My theory is that at sometime the moon collided with the earth and bits of civilizations it struck got stuck to it.

I'm going to go with "a belief that hoaxes are very common", rather than "200,000 year old statues will be found on the moon." Or did you not notice the forum this was in?
