  • @brokkenboeroptoer Troll.

  • @TheUltimateCynic american idiot

  • @SmarticlesTheGoof The biggest current threat to our civilization is the spread of Islam to non-Muslims lands.

  • @TheUltimateCynic Life is one of nature's rarest and interesting of nature's creations. It doesn't occur that often because conditions have to be just right.

  • @TheUltimateCynic Yeah, I do see some hope in humanity and I really don't want this species to fall and destroy itself from idiocy. There are probably many that have made it, but I think we're being arrogant thinking they would want to contact a much less intelligent species like ourselves. We have also searched only very briefly and for a very short distance. I have no doubt we will find them, but it may still be a very very long time.

  • I remember watching him from Planet Green! And of course, it was based on aliens- but also on how the world would end if it involved an alien invasion! :p

    And it wouldn't surprise me if the government had ties with the ET or vice versa. Too much Area 51 evidence, it seems. :|

  • @SmarticlesTheGoof Thanks for the link - it's my first time watching him. I think we would have encountered them (particularly II or III) by now since they have probably been around much longer than we -since we haven't it probably means most don't make it beyond stage 0, not only because of lack of integration, but I feel intuitively that establishing a very long-term habitable environment outside your native planet must be very difficult, more so than transitioning from type 0 to type 1.
