Ain't that the truth, always a good time. Poor girl though, I have never been a quick trigger but add in a couple of back surgeries and rx meds I take even longer to finish but she keeps working until the job is done even if she does have a sore jaw for a day or two.

They're good like that aren't they?

My HAW wants to get a vibrating tongue stud for me. How could I say no???

I did see the correction you made but I thought it was just a side note... thanks for making it right...I do know the difference, it was just a clerical error.

Hey Austinite...I am sure you probably answered this a few times already but who is that fine specimen in your Avi?
Props to her dedication to the sport. She must live and breathe in the gym.

Mine would have no idea what that is for. I am still keeping her a little under educated with some of that stuff. We have time and she is just getting to where I can dress her up in sexy clothes or lingerie. She is still not even comfortable with the finger vibrator. After one good O her main goal is to make sure im satisfied.

Ok back on topic. Did you know 90% of sci-fi and horror flicks made between 1970 - 1990 were done in the Philippines. Now if aliens looked like asian sex starved women wanting to procreat I would be all for that.

Ehehehhh....for once the " its your Mom" line wouldn't be a negative.
I assume it must be his wife/girlfriend since he obviously spends a lot of time with her.
I am blown away at the level of her symmetry.
I have really been pushing my wife to take a interest in fitness. Two kids in her 30's has not been friendly to her at all.

Ha! Yu are so right they never covered this in the Jetsons. They would probably just make a parking garage like shelves that you could pull right into and then take an elevator down.

just because he is brilliant in theoretical physics does not mean he is brilliant in all areas.

There is another line of reasoning that goes something like this....

If an alien civilization is sufficiently advanced to travel the stars, one would think with that amount of power available to them, that if they were basically violent/evil, then they would have destroyed themselves long ago.

We barely survived the nuclear stage, and are still going through it with all these rogue dictator regimes. Not many here realize how close we came to mutual nuclear annihilation back in the 60's. A specie more violent than ourselves may not have survived such a situation.

OR

They're just so advanced that there's no reason for them to come here for us.

Do you seek out ant hills just to destroy them?

Then again.... What if we advance enough to become the "fire ants" of the universe. Maybe they'll just wipe us out lol

**austinite** · 07-13-2014, 05:49 PM

Hmmm...I don't know.

I go by the scant evidence we have about E.T - supposed alien abductions, crash sites and reports. Take alien abductions for example, there is a recurring theme in nearly all accounts and that is that the aliens ain't nice! People report being dissected, tortured and operated on. E.T seems to have a fixation with our anatomy and our reproduction process from what I've researched.

I'm a firm believer in the presence of intelligent life, yet I'm not too sure if it'll be for the good of human civilisation if they make themselves known.

I think it's also important to remember that alien/UFO sightings go back to ancient Egypt with hieroglyphics confirming this.

It's only a matter of time before we have proof beyond all doubt that we're not alone...

True.

There is also another line of reasoning that goes something like this....

If all the aliens want are resources, then why would they not exploit their own solar system first, and then that of the next star over? Assuming Einstein is right and nothing can exceed the speed of light, then why would an alien race travel however many light years (assume equivalent to light speed, then if 1,000 light years away, then the fastest they can get here is 1,000 years) just to exploit our resources?

This all assumes home planet = current location. Given a specie that is nomadic in nature and travels from one system to another, then they could be close by, and that would be a game changer to the above scenario.

I don't really consider a hieroglyphic as proof. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

We may not know why they drew strange paintings on the cave walls, but that doesn't mean they saw aliens.

This is a dicey area best left to the "Ancient Aliens of the Past" show.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

People are STILL claiming to see Elvis to this day. So are we to believe Elvis Presley is still alive?

This is an area of mass hysteria and social psychology I don't know too much about.

I'm not saying the possibility doesn't exist.

But just because a bunch of people are saying it is so doesn't make it true either.

However, the universe is a big place and who's to say it's not teeming with life, some good, some bad?

If we did make contact, as Humans, I'msure our sole intent would be to profit from them in some way.

There's a theory that the aliens who have visited Earth use an advanced propulsion system that manipulates distances by 'folding' space in half, thus greatly reducing the distance from A to B. Bob Lazar (although discredited) had a similar 'experience'. He claimed that aliens use a type of fuel in their spacecraft's called Element 115 and at the time - in 1989 - he was laughed at. It was only recently (2006 or so) that scientists managed to create this matter, although in small quantities. Interesting ideas.

if an alien specie so advanced they could use gravitational fields to not only curve space, but fold it as you describe, if they wanted the Earth, there would be little we could do to stop them. But I doubt there would be any reason to fear such individuals. We would probably possess nothing of any value to them. They should/would be able to survive on any planet. To continue, they may only be partially biological, or none at all. And if they were sufficiently evolved/advanced, they may not have bodies as we know them at all. Comprised of light energy. And then, for all practical matters, they would truly ignore us. In theory, they could be all around us and we wouldn't even know it.

**Hazard** · 07-14-2014, 09:48 AM

OR

As another theory suggests...... They could have followed the same evolution as us (relatively speaking)

We're learning and understanding a lot more..... Computer chips keep getting smaller..... And artificial intelligence is the goal. If they have reached that point - maybe AI took over..... Wiped out their populous and "robots" are the alien race.

Interesting stuff lol

Maybe we have nothing of significant value to them but then again, as it has been shown in films, it could be a scenario where they need something as simple as water or food. I'm more inclined to think they've already visited for reconnaissance purposes and our planet is simply unsuitable to sustain life for them.

Furthermore, the U.S government has been 'researching' on anti-gravity propulsion technology since the 1950s.. Some believe this is merely a cover up for black projects solely intended to back engineer alien crafts. I think we can we see how successful the U.S military have been in the development of military aircraft with the likes of the stealth bomber and the SR-71 blackbird - still unmatched to this day in terms of capabilities.

Which begs the question. Are we being misled by our governments? Are aliens a reality?

Kinda ironic that all this started in the 1950s after Roswell in 1947. Wonder where they got the idea?

We have been beaming signals into outter space for almost 100 years. Every television program, cell phone call, radar signal from the military or airports. It is all broadcast out into space.

So if aliens arrived here what are the most likely occurances?
1. Alien probe to check us out - we do this.. Mars rovers, Pioneer 1 & 2.... Probe comes in checks everything out ... may or may not stick around... after all we are sentient life... why not watch
2. Alien ship arrives... may or may not contact us... our language is primative. Our communication methods (radio waves) are incredibly primative... Their arrival may be a form of communication....
2a. They are friendly.. helps poor population grow food... gives minor energy tech.....
2b. They are not friendly... want to conquer and enslave... some portions of mankind will help... Happened witht he Jews during the Holocaust... Africans during the slave trade... Indians during the European invasion of the Western Hemisphere.... not much we can do here...
2c. Hostile and they wipe us out.... WHY? We pose no thrreat to them... Rampaging aliens are unlikely... too much energy expended for so little gain
2d. They need supplies... Again WHY? water is common in the solar system and on other worlds... there is 1000% more metals in asteroids than on Earth...
2e. Need a new home.... WHY again... Each sun in the Galaxy has at least 1 planet around it (unless it is a wandering star) This means their are billions of planets for them to live on... If they can travel in space, they have the technology and can fix planets cheaper...

So I say be brave... see if some advanced alien civilization can even detect our puny primative communications.... What is the worst that can happen?

**Shol'va** · 07-17-2014, 12:18 PM

We cannot get along with each other on this planet. How the hell would we be able to with aliens? If I were an intelligent Alien I would stay far away from Planet Earth.
