I dunno. I think people are good at heart. I bet if there is some more mature race watching us it’s with the nostalgic view of a parent watching a child making mistakes in the name of learning.

I just hope two scenarios don’t happen that would end our advancement:
#1 - We run out of fossil fuels or cook the planet before we learn clean renewable resources.
#2 - We kill ourselves with our technology. Did you know Russia detonated a nuclear weapon that shook the Earth? The shock wave of the Tsar Bomba circled the globe three measurable times. Oh and that was at 50% design capacity.
I wouldn’t be too surprised to see either in my lifetime.

I doubt anything we can do with fossil fuels will ever cook the planet. It’s seen far greater climate shifts in the history of geological time than we’ll ever be able to top. Could we change our coastline and maybe speed up the next ice age, maybe, but as a species we’ll find ways to survive it. If an ice age comes and you’re an underdeveloped tropical country I’d be very worried about visitors from the north.

Killing ourselves with some massive WWIII bombing campaign maybe.
And yeah, I know about the Tsar Bomba 3 times around the earth thing…

Ron White had a great plan for expanding the US south. Buy Mexico, fix it up, and flip it. Take the money you made and buy Guatemala. Fix it up, flip it. Each time you move south that border wall we have to eventually build gets a little shorter. Eventually we end up back at the Panama Canal, and the wall is pretty much built for us. And, should that ice age come, we have some nice warm southern land to hang out on.

I forgot to post this before!!!

Pretty crazy stuff.

Not regarding the article but “Do people believe this shit?” - Is it so hard to fathom that we’re most likely not the only planet with living beings? Not so much big ugly aliens, but something.

The probability that we are not alone is greater than the probability that we are alone.

What did he suggest we do with the current residents? Foreclose on all of their debt to us and evict them to Africa? :lol:

@OfficerK

Even if we could ‘fly’ at light speed (and most of the scientific community agrees that it is impossible)

Not getting into this too much, because everyone has their own beliefs and reasoning skillset - that being said, let me point out this: At one point not so long ago most of the scientific community (using cutting edge technology at the time) agreed that 1.) the earth was flat 2.) the solar system revolved around the earth 3.) that radium should be a dietary supplement 4.) … ah you get the point.

I don’t remember, but we’re going to need someone to landscape all those new high end condos.

[Joe]

I wonder how that works when one country buys another. Do all of the mexicans suddenly become citizens? Or can we do it like a corporate buyout and keep a few that do the things we need workers for, and lay off the rest?

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

Hopefully we just adopt their environmental policies and labor regulations so we can compete on global scale.

@Violator

with todays technology and knowledge

Why would we need to be limited to flying at light speed? … light speed is used as a measuring stick (reference point) simply because that is the fastest speed we were able to measure with our current technology

ABSOLUTELY! Why would any Intelligent life form want anything to do with an IGNORANT, SELFISH, ARROGANT, and DESTRUCTIVE race such as ours.
Human beings are a really fucking stupid race. We are the cockroaches of the universe. At least cockroaches are smart enough not to destroy their own habitat.

And this is your consensus based on what? All the things you know nothing about?

Beliefs have as much value as the story of the boogie man when we were 5 and the most ridiculous story of all with God and Jesus that many still cling to.

Im literally laughing and how confident you sound right now. Im not saying you’re wrong but thinking your absolutely right is just silly. But hey, since you know all these things with 110% confidence, ill help forward your resume to NASA so the world can finally know the truth.

Also, LOL at all you people hating on the religious factors in this matter. I cant speak for anything but Christianity, but how would the fact that there are Aliens, change anything based on modern Christian beliefs. The ones calling people who have a faith, “ignorant,” are just as stupid if they don’t realize most Christian theory’s go hand in hand with science now a days. You all just get hung up on quoting the bible and blaming why evolution cant be taught in schools. Obviously there is a sect of any group that opposes the standard (cough Evangelicals cough) beliefs of the rest of the group.

With that said, lets derail this further with the religion talk some more.
