I believe. I always have.

I would like to propose that one reason so many individuals seem reluctant to accept the idea that there are other intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy is that they are afraid. Seriously. It is typical behavior to react with strong and belligerent disagreement when confronted with issues of the Unknown. It also very typical to attempt to diffuse the seriousness of it with humor.

Personally, I am completely terrified by the idea of lifeforms that are more advanced than us Humans. Stop for a moment, and really try to take in the implications of the existence of lifeforms that are more intelligent than Us. Suddenly, man and all his marvels are reduced to nothing more than primitive and stupid animals. This is an uncomfortable thought being that, since the beginning of recorded history, we have always been top dog.

I certainly hope, for the sake of all Humanity, that these Aliens are better behaved than us Humans. Because if they are not...

And the thought of the US Gov. being the sole representative of Earth to these Aliens, its enough to make me sick. If the US Gov. is doing business with these fellows behind our backs then we are not being properly represented. Furthermore, taking into account the high intelligence of such beings and the immature and power hungry nature of the US Gov, it is very possible that us Humans are being manipulated.

As absurd as it may seem to some of you, I encourage you to take a few moments to ask yourself, "What if?"

:rotfl2:

And it's typical believer behaviour to think that those who disagree with you can impossibly have thought the matter through, but are just narrow-minded or afraid.

That's one heck of a big statement. I don't think the cavemen hiding in terror from lightning bolts and sabre tooth tigers would agree. Not to mention that there are plenty of civilizations (or, to be frank, every single one) that at some time was technologically inferior to at least one other group of people.

Of course. The narrow-minded sceptics angle. I could just as easily take your "always was a believer" statement and ask you to step back and take a few moments to wonder, what if it's not (where's the tongue smiley when I need it)?

Sorry, but the reason I don't believe in UFO's is the same reason you don't believe in the infinite number of things you don't believe in - I don't see any evidence.

Ask yourself a few questions and pursue them logically....

#1 - Why would an alien race of superior intellect and technology eons ahead of where we are - need to have contact with humanity?

#2 - Why would an alien race of superior intellect and technology WANT to have contact with humanity?

#3 - If an alien race of superior intellect did - for reasons unknown to us, want to have such contact, why would it pursue that contact with primarily military/governmental structures, when our own history shows that such structures are over time inherently untrustworthy and manipulative?

#4 - Why has such contact at high levels of "leadership" only been done with certain world leaders, but not with others?

#5 - How can it be explained that no irrefutable proof of such contact exists (and supposedly has for over half a century) when the governments in question not only have been in constant flux (due to elections and such) as well as having a proven record of not being able to keep ANYTHING else so totally locked down?

I could continue - but you get the idea.

Aliens visited me once and asked if they could chill on earth for a little while. I told them rather pointedly to shove off or we'd kick their butts. They went off muttering some foolishness about climate control weapons and heating up the planet, like that could ever happen! :roll:

Aliens visited me just today and told me not to believe anything August said about them. They also told me they didn't exist.

Did you notice any strange smells while they were there?

or have a funny taste in your mouth after they left? :woot:

You may have met a real alien after all :hmmm:

What do you mean, did they drop one!:hmmm:

Al Gore is an alien? :o

A real alien would've conducted a thorough probe of all terrestrial organisms it encountered.

So I think the really important question is, does your butt hurt?

Well that convinces me. I feel like Neil Armstrong when he read that moon landing hoax website...

:haha:

Hello,
how very fortunate for us :88) :

There were some aliens looking for slaves to work in their mines. They landed on Terra, and looked for what would be the most advanced life form, and beamed two upright walking specimens (male and female) aboard their spaceship for closer examination.
Test results showed those two were much too dumb to even work in the mines, and the aliens flew on to find others.

Next day the headlines in the New York imes read like
"Police stunned. How the hell did those two Gorillas get out of the zoo without opening the doors ?"

Greetings,

Wow the University of California at Los Angeles has changed since I left California. :D

Wait.. what?
Uh.. I always mix 'em up.. *cough* I meant the ACLU.. :oops:
