Should the United States destroy the moon? Why or why not. - I think the light provided is nice, but what about the tides? Are they good?

[Noname57]

Tide goes in tide goes out.

 

[Furret]

I think the tides are fine. The moon can stay.

 

[Noname57]

I think the tides are fine.

What do they do? Are they needed? Doesn’t it cause erosion and such?

 

[Niggernerd]

The moon is cool

 

[Lame Entropy]

No. It's cool to look at while drunk.

 

[Bad Gateway]

Imagine believing the moon is real

 

[Autumnal Equinox]

M-O-O-N! That spells tides

 

[Some JERK]

It'd be cheaper and faster to sell advertising space on the Moon. I think seeing the Golden Arches or the Nike swoop in the night sky would be nice.

 

[Dysnomia]

What are you talking about? Piccolo already destroyed the moon.

 

[CreamyHerman’s]

The moon is a hologram constructed by lizard people, you are living a lie

 

[Papa Pinochet]

Nah, Dear Feeder is a good boy, he den du nuffin!

[TaterFarmer]

Nope. We should convince SJWs to colonize it and fund them all being sent on a one way trip to their new nirvana.

 

[WolfeTone]

 

[Strange Wilderness]

Yes destroy the Moon. We need to harvest its green cheese to feed poor people.

 

[Vingle]

But, but... I love Halloween, the full moon makes it wholesome

 

[TerminalTryHard]

How else will we stop the werewolves other than blowing the moon up?

Werewolves are fake. MEDS. NOW.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

Werewolves are fake. MEDS. NOW.

That's what (((they))) want you to think.

 

[Solid Snek]

I'd say no. While destroying the Moon might be nice in theory, any attempt by the US government to destroy the Moon would, in practice, simply result in a thirty year long military occupation, during which time nothing of any substance would get done. Moon enthusiasts would become radicalized, American astronauts would lose their lives, the Moon would never actually get destroyed - and for what? Higher taxes and pork barrel bills that only enrich the military-industrial-space-complex? Orbital satellite lasers that were originally designed to blast moon rocks, getting shipped back to Earth and handed out to the cops for use against "domestic pro-Moon extremists"?
