Curzon Dax Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.07.04 07:10:00 - [31] Thought I would share a few thoughts: First, I think it is egocentric to believe that out of the billions upon billions of stars in the universe, ours is the only one that supports life. Second, UFO sightings and stories have left the tabloids and become rather streamline news material. Not so long ago, there was a UFO sighting / landing at a major international airport - the runway workers saw it, the baggage handlers saw it, the pilots, crews and passengers of planes saw it...it was a major news story. As for whether life out there would be hostile or friendly, I think its worth considering survival traits. I don't think that life out there would be so different from us. Perhaps greatly different in shape, size, perhaps even in type of life-form - perhaps not everything in the universe is a carbon-based lifeform. However, survival on any scale requires ambition, self-preservation, and some degree of greed. Mankind is violent because we are inherently survivalists. If another life form was more passive, "lets all get along" they probably wouldn't survive - evolution favors those who can adapt. There was a scene in "The Matrix" that really struck home with me though - Mr. Smith was talking about humanity - how he had tried to classify mankind, and noted parallels only between two organisms: mankind and viruses. Both expand, procreate quickly, move in and destroy things, before moving on. We really are in a sad state of affairs. :(
Valan	Posted - 2007.07.04 08:28:00 - [32] Only humans would be arrogant enough to think that an advanced alien life form would take notice of a bunch of semi-intelligent apes. It's pure vanity to suggest that they would stay away becasue we're so uber hard that they would be frightened /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game three years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig

Bob Clive Beasts of Burden YouWhat	Posted - 2007.07.04 12:00:00 - [36] Here in the United States, the History Channel is showing a series called The Universe. Been liking it.

Indra Sebuchiore Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.07.04 13:09:00 - [37] Originally by: Curzon Dax Not so long ago, there was a UFO sighting / landing at a major international airport - the runway workers saw it, the baggage handlers saw it, the pilots, crews and passengers of planes saw it...it was a major news story. Hate to resort to a clichT, but: PROOF OR STFU. If you do have proof, cool. But somehow I doubt it's genuine and not another urban myth or mistaken whatsit. Anyway, how come if aliens are so smart, they always abduct lost rednecks? You'd think they would abduct someone better equipped to understand or communicate with them, like a linguist, an exobiologist, ye gods, any sort of scientist... __________________________________________ "In girum imus nocte, et consumimur igni."

But they dont even need to attack us, we're doing a great job of blowing ourselves up already. Maybe they are watching and taking bets to who will be the last man standing. qft
Nicole KholdStare Gallente QUANT Corp. Southern Connection	Posted - 2007.07.04 13:47:00 - [39] One of the things I like to ponder when I have nothing better to do: Imagine your looking down on your own body from somewhere above, not too far. Now...zoom out just like the old movie effect where you start from a point and zoom out until you see earth from orbit. Keep going...and going and going...you get the point. There's never really a moment where you cannot imagine going out further, right? So, humor me, and agree that you can zoom out forever....now if that's true you must also be able to zoom in forever, going smaller and smaller and smaller. Still with me? Now if you play with these thought you come to the conclusion that size is really relative - in other words, how 'big' are we compared to the rest of the universe? We could be sitting somewhere inside another 'atom' of another something, alive or not. Once you get that in your head think about the concept of 'God' and realize that, if the above holds true, all of us, are 'God' of the universe that exists within our bodies... Now I know this explanation of my train of thought probably sucks and you won't get what I mean but I was bored and felt like contributing

Terranid Meester Knights Hospitalier	Posted - 2007.07.05 19:05:00 - [51] Originally by: Zeonos think what would happen if a alien ship landed on earth. the US military would capture them. What if they landed on Tahiti?
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2007.07.05 19:15:00 - [52] Why would they come and contact humans first? Water covers 4/5ths of the Earth's surface. They might have gone under the sea, and are plotting to move against us with the Dolphins.

WGAnubis Marrith	Posted - 2007.07.05 20:07:00 - [54] Edited by: WGAnubis Marrith on 05/07/2007 20:07:46 If there is intelligent life out their, they are smart enough to stay well away from us. Look at our history, we have no problem killing each other and have come up with creative ways to do so. When their is a common threat we unit as one force and dont stop fighting until the threat is completely destroyed. Imagine for a moment if aliens landed on the white house lawn or in Moscow or in England, We would collectivly freak out. To qoute Agent K from MIB: "A person is smart. People are dumb, dangerous, panicy and you know it." Sure we would have individuals who would welcome the visitors, but, as sad as it sounds, the human race as a whole is still in the stone age in terms of intelligence in the grand scheme of things. This would cause us to unite, forget out petty diffrences, and focus on the "alien invaders" and we wouldnt stop until we felt we were once again collectively safe and then begin to kill each other again. In short, we as a spieces are destructive and need a common threat to always be against. If a threat, real or not, were to be presented to us we would turn this destructive need towards them. If their is other intelligent life out their, I pity them. If given the chance and time, man kind will eventually leave earth and slowly but surely spread out and destroy what it sees as a threat. We are not the people portrayed in Star Trek and never will be.
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2007.07.05 21:12:00 - [55] Consider the unlikely even that bipedal oxygen breathing aliens ever visited this planet. Why are we assuming they would be nice and kind, and likely to want to avoid us because we're warlike? Maybe their race to the stars was forged by them being even more warlike, and they had to get a move on into space due to mucking up their own planet even more than we've managed? They might laugh in our faces if presented with our best military "threats".
Miss Anthropy School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.07.05 22:36:00 - [56] Edited by: Miss Anthropy on 05/07/2007 22:44:30 Edited by: Miss Anthropy on 05/07/2007 22:36:10 If alien life did come to this planet how would we deal with it? I mean, we can barely get along with each other. I think many parts of our planet would go into total anarchy if aliens discovered us or we discovered them. The fear of and general xenophobia would cloud all rational judgement. When catastrophe hits Earth, man's first instinct is to loot from the weak or the dead, then to try and survive. Any genuine alien visitation would be (and should be) covered up by the government. EDIT: OMG, I actually contributed something constructive to this thread. I feel... odd. I still think Elvis ate too many burgers. NERF AMARR!
Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.07.05 23:22:00 - [57] Unless you think perhaps Elvis was trying to communicate with the aliens through his arse, otherwise he died from a massive coronary trying to push out a stool harder than a brick into that 'great white telephone ' As to aliens visiting earth, despite all the conspiracies with Area 51, alien probing, cow multilation, etc, I personally don't think we have been visited. Not to say we won't be in the future.
