Looking at all living creatures on our own planet almost everything alive attacks and kills. (Even many plants somehow developed different defense mechanisms). So it is my belief that the highest probability is that aliens wont be a bit friendly.

Likely not in our lifetime but future generations may see this as a reality.

I would like to hear if it's yes or no or we are alone from you and logical reasons.:)

If we give them all green cards, they will be very friendly. :mrgreen:
 
It depends completely on where they came from and what they are doing here. There could be an entire intergalactic empire! Or maybe not.

Last year I routed out a spy in the Galactic Council. Stopped a harvesting race of pure AI robots that live outside the fringe of our galaxy who harvest all life through wormholes they intentionally left for life to populate in certian paths throughout the universe. Had sex with this wierd tenticle headed alien chick. Let loose some big hive queen on this frost planet because I felt sorry for her. And after being right all along on trying to convince the Galactic Council about hidden enimies.... I got fed up and dicided that it was humans strength that had saved life and everyone else would have brought demise. So I took over the Universe.

Then how do you explain the millions of people on Earth that have claimed to see UFO, greys, E.T.'s e,tc? Als9o what about the thousands of folks that claim to have been abducted? Far too many have accounts of these things for it to be untrue? :2razz:
Similar numbers of people have claimed that they have seen "Bigfoot," that Elvis is still alive and that Barak Obama had any qualifications to be president.
 
There are over a sextillion planets in our visible universe alone. The visible universe in comparison to the universe as a whole is roughly the size of a grain of sand compared to the planet Earth. So, as I said before, probability would disagree with you.
Once agian, you are speculating. You assume that a great deal of space means that a thing must exist somewhere in it.

There is no proof, and no reliable evidence. The EM bands are frightfully devoid if artificial signals that we our selves did not generate.

Try this another way, with this simple thought experiment.

In you're mind, which is capable of storing phenomenal amounts of information, is an image of the English Alphabet.

Using the reasoning so many people erroneously do to posit LGM, we must assume that somewhere in your vast mind {no sarcasm} must exist the Cuniform alphabat.

We know that the English Alphabet appeared in your mind by processes we undersatand. Surley in all that Brain-Space the conditions to the implantation of the Cuniform alphbet must have taken place. Why, it just stands to reason.

(If you reallt do know the Cuniform alphabet, score yourself 50 bonus point for being a smart a$$, and substitute the Phonecian Alaphabet.

If Aliens are met in Washington DC, by Republicans, they will be hostile and we will face a spaced War.

If Aliens are met in Washington DC, by Democrats, there will be peace, popcorn, hamburger, and Nachos. We will learn to straighten out all terrible problems caused by the eight horrible years of George and Dick.

:2razz: :lol:
I believe that Jack Nicholson represented a Democrat president in Mars Attacks.
 
Quite a bit actually.

Welcome to the site of the Laboratory of Entomology. The laboratory studies ants, bees and wasps, collectively known as the "social insects".
 
Shirley, you exaggerate, the numbers of sightings are not that large, there are only a few stories that get repeated a lot....:2razz:
Any aliens arriving here are likely to take our mineral wealth, our most attractive women, and our fattest sheep, and then leave...:2razz:

Maybe I am a bit high on the numbers but tell explain to me how sooo many people that do Not know each other, live in seperate states, countries, etc. have all saw the exact same things? And it is not just tabloid press there are REAL Newspapers that have reported such things. All these people cannot be lying or making stuff up. Also watch some shows or read some books about people that have been abducted. A lot of them had exact same thing happen to them. How do you explain this?

bad mushrooms.....what else?

There is some proof that our own gov. has tried to cover up and hush the whole U.F.O. sightings. So if there is nothing real about them why would our own gov. try to cover it up? Why would they even say anything about it?
 
How did you come to that conclusion? What if they wanted some resource and it was easier to annihilate us in the click of a button rather than ask?
Seriously, I can't think of a single physical or biological resource that would be beyond the ability of a society capable of interstellar travel to manufacture, up to and including habitable worlds.

I don't think we'd have to fear conquest for our resources if LGM existed. But as there is no evidence that they do, it's probably a moot point.

Or bad acid trip? :rofl I know that a lot of people think these folks that claim to have been abducted are kooks but there are so many of em that I think there is something there.

If you ever watch Stern there is a woman that he used to have on his show that I have no doubt was abducted or something. Her stories are just to visual and real. Plus others have had same thing happen to them. It is an interesting topic:cool:

why would govt help to spread hysteria?

Actually nearly all of the sightings come from the Anglosphere, continental Europe, and a few from Mexico. Strangely, the aliens don't seem to visit parts of the world where UFOs aren't already ingrained in pop culture.

Maybe a local paper occasionally reports that someone claims they saw one. Any newspaper with any credibility would never claim that it was true.

80% are lying. The other 20% are deluded.

Because it's ingrained in popular culture. In the Southern US, people claim to see Elvis. In Latin America, people claim to see the Virgin Mary. In England, people claim to see ghosts.

The people who claim to have been abducted mostly just want attention. I'd liken it to someone who falsely claims they were raped.

I would assume that they would be capable of recognizing intelligence, since we have technology and civilization unlike most other species. We might be the bottom rung on the intelligence hierarchy, but I think they'd be able to differentiate between humans and, say, giraffes.


I think they will be fully capable of measuring intelligence, absolutely. We are certainly capable of noting the difference in intelligence between an elephant and a lizard, so I am sure they'll be far more capable than we are of evaluating our level of intelligence.

But I am trying to see things from the perspective of these creatures that are far more intelligent than we are. If they are enough more intelligent, they won't think there is that much difference between a giraffe and humans. It all depends on how much more intelligent than us they are.

I believe they will have to be so much more intellegent than we are that they will consider the difference between us and a giraffe inconsequential. From our perspective, that is outrageous. I think they will find our outrage amusing, pat us on our heads and then proceed to dissect us.

Let me put it this way: Suppose we use some measure, we'll call it the Universal Intelligence Scale or UIS, to gauge intelligence. Suppose giraffes average 25, dogs and cats 35, elephants and dolphins 60 and humans 100. I believe space travelling aliens would measure something like 1000 or more on such a scale. The difference between them and us will entirely outpace the difference between us and giraffes.

There might be some 'specialist' from among their population that thinks we're interesting at some point. What that specialist does to us in order to study us depends on alot of things, but I doubt they'll be considering whether or not we'll be harmed in the process.

So, yes, they'll be capable of recognizing intelligent life, and to them, we just won't even be in the running.

I think I know what you are getting at. Us humans seem to use an intelligents scale to determine if a species qualifies as food or a farmable resource. On an aliens scale we may not have reached high enough and therefor not respected enough and will simply be a farmable resourse for them?:cool:

The Bad News: Aliens will be tremendously hostile because they only came here because inadvertently SETI has been calling them "dirty glapbroid-suckers" in their language over the past twenty years. This is a terrible insult in the Kracklapo-mow-mow culture.


The Good News: Their weaponry is specifically designed to kill Silicon-based life forms and will only cause a slightly irritating itch in the back of human throats. The war will be over quite quickly.
 
I imagine they'd have varied personalities like humans, like most animals.
 
I think they will be friendly, yet cautious.

But when, in our own paranoia, we start shooting at them, I suspect they will get a little pissed off and annhailiate us all.

I think they would be 100% non-violent for some reason and would just say... "Uhhhh ok. You guys messed up. We share nothing with you." Then just disapear for a few thousand years.
