What do you think we should do if we found aliens?

[PYRO_JUNKY]

Do you think we should try to contact them, destroy, hide from them, or w/e.

I think we shouldn't contact them cuz they could probably pown us hard if they wanted to.

[Decoy]

Contact would be the way to go in my opinion as well. Would be interesting.

[Pouso-G]

Depends on how friendly they are

[Decoy]

Depends on how friendly they are

How would we know if they are friendly or not?

[PYRO_JUNKY]

i wouldnt take the risk because if they did want to war with us we would be screwed because we dont have any outer space wepons they they could proubably attack us and we couldnt attack them.

[Decoy]

i wouldnt take the risk because if they did want to war with us we would be screwed because we dont have any outer space wepons they they could proubably attack us and we couldnt attack them.

What makes you think they would be more technically advanced then us? They could just as likely be in their version of the stone age or whatever. O.o

[PYRO_JUNKY]

Well if thats the case then we would proubably go over to their planet and pown them the way we did to the native americans :P

If thats not the case lets hope they dont come over here and pown our asses the same way.

[Decoy]

Well if thats the case then we would proubably go over to their planet and pown them the way we did to the native americans :P

If thats not the case lets hope they dont come over here and pown our asses the same way.

... Haha :D

[Pouso-G]

Contact them

[Andy]

Send in Chuck Norris to steal their technology and use it to destroy them...
unless their friendly, in which case, we DONT send Chuck, but still steal it anyways.

[Wicked_Will]

i wouldnt take the risk because if they did want to war with us we would be screwed because we dont have any outer space wepons they they could proubably attack us and we couldnt attack them.

Well, if they wanted war with us, whether we contacted them or not wouldn't matter, as they'd still just attack us.

But I don't think it's very likely that we will find aliens. Perhaps some single-celled lifeforms somewhere, but not fully functioning, space-travelling aliens. That's not saying that they aren't out there, because as big as the Universe is, I'd be more surprised if there weren't. But what I'm saying is that since we're such a small planet, until we can find a way to somehow venture outside our solar system, or even our galaxy, I don't think we'll even be NOTICED by any technological alien super-beings.

[Crazed Dragon]

Well if no apparent threat to us is made clear right away, we of earth must definitly keep the US goverment out of any decision makings...I;m sorry, but they'd just **** things up

I's like to try to be friend the aliens, but if all goes wrong I;m willy to kick some alien *** if necessary. We'd gain so much if we could befriend them though, more then we would by trying to takem on...we'd lose if we did, it wouldn't be anything like in the movies. If we're faced against a race thats master space travel to such a degree, they would obviously have alot more up there sleeves or w/e they have to completely destroy us if they saw fit

[Fantasy_Freak]

anyone remember the game X-Com? That's a possbility.

Well, Depends if they are hostile or not. In my personal opinion I believe they have been watching us but not interfering. I believe that they had something to do with our evoultion from apes and the such.

Like an experiment on genetics and the such. To see what they could achieve so in short we are guinea pigs.

[lilaznboy005]

i know hunt them down and tell us the meaning of life

[Grethum]

Earth is not ready for another life form, I mean look at us! we are manipulative of others, we kill each other we steal from each other and we take advantage of others. If we learned to open our minds and realize we are all in this together then I believe we would be ready. I mean if we cant control ourselves on earth, if we meet others whats to stop us from taking them too?

[crash]

i think that we would panic and make war with them

[ultimatefighter]

i would try to make them friends than steal their technology and than make them my slaves.:devil::devil::devil::devil:

[Pengitty]

Based on the theory of Panspermia (if spelled right lolz) we may all be aliens who migrated to earth via a comet or a meteor. I really like this theory. If it did happen (which would rock sox) I would find myself lolling the day the theory became fact. Why? We'd all be illegal immigrants roflz ^-^

On a more serious note, it would also mean that the people who think we are alone have just one more reason to hush and think about possibilities in a rational manner. It would be sad as heck to think that out of all the trillions of masses out in space, that we humans exist on the only planet with life.

However! Maybe critics about this whole topic are right. There may have been humans on other planets at one point, maybe even before us. This may very well signify that in several test runs, we have kaboomed ourselves before and no longer exist anywhere but earth, essentially making us cosmically endangered. O.O

[Kameo]

If U like Anime U should watch Gall Force 1. That's just what U said, only animated. I loved it and it might be true.

Maybe we did come from another planet and we just came here because we saw lifeforms similar to our own, Neanderthalers and such. :)

[tatsuya1221]

There's also the possibility that we were the original race of the cosmos,i/e the only intelligence in a sea of life, and the "world" of our past, was actually the vast galaxy, this is what i call the one intellegence theory, in that we are either A)created by a higher form or B)were a fluke in the cosmos.

The point to this is that, we may have been far more advanced, even star travelers, in the past, but for whatever reason our civilization may have collapsed and we were left with little to no knowledge of the past, this theory isn't mine, i just can't remember it's original name.

Heck, this kinda reminds me of the intro to xenogears.

Seriously? O.O I will have to check it out then ^-^
Thank you for the anime suggestion.

Xenogears also relies heavily on the combined String and M theories which describe a fourth dimension of sorts. One possibility of the creation of the universe resulting in two 'membranes' colliding causing a massive explosion resulting in our universe.

I wish I knew what theory you were referencing though it seems to be the model for everything Sci-Fi storylines follow (Starcraft, Halo, Farscape, Stargate to name a few)

It is an aswesome theory though and one that I too accept as a possible means to how things were.

[Xeniok]

My opinion (besides the fact that I believe 'we' have already found something/someone) is to do none of the above. First would be to observe from afar and get an understanding of what they are about.

If they seem peaceful or even unintelligent then make contact in a peceful manner. If they are technologically advanced then we would need to find out their weakness' and fire power before establishing contact.

Now if they are evil, acid spitting, bad *** sums o b*tch8s then destroy them without a thought.

[ilyawizard]

Depends on the aliens. If they are nice and pretty (although there's 1 in a billion chance that would happen) you know what to do

[dvdsna5]

first: try to make a peace pact
if that deosnt work, and their like 20k years ahead of our current technology

surrender
white flags to every man woman and child.

[!CoNvOy]

Eat them:devil:

[gamelegend100]

i say destroy all aliens there can only be one master race just look at earth now the animals can just about survive.

[Old_School_Gamer]

here's an idea... if this alien race is superior to humans, intelligence-wise, who's to say that they aren't already here, ruling over us? invisible to our eyes, because of the propaganda they created with religions, philosophies, arts, and sciences? perhaps they are here, right now, occupying the same space that we are, just on another dimension. maybe they see us, and can even interact with us, if they really want to, but choose not to, because they already have control over us, and our own minds are just too shallow to comprehend that. hell, we could be living in our own mental matrix, and all of our creations, and everything we know is false. consider the fact that everything is made of the exact same substance, it's almost as if you're looking at a television screen. the picture is flat and 2 dimensional, but outside that picture exists a greater world, full of new dimensions. sometimes i think of dimensions in this way... if you were to take 5 thin layers of glass, and draw a picture on each of them with a marker, and then put them all together, each picture is its own picture, and they all exist seperately, but at the same time they can all be percieved as one picture. the dimensions that make up reality could be like that, as well. the way we see things could be completely flat and two dimensional compared to the way something of a higher intelligence would see them. or maybe we're just different personas of a greater being, interracting with each other as it sleeps. after all, when i dream, my mind splits into many different people, objects, and entities. then again, it is 3am in the morning too. maybe what i'm typing right now is all just a bunch of sleep-deprived nonsense. :yawn:

[fleek]

There's also the possibility that we were the original race of the cosmos

pretty unlikely

[ChronoJoe]

Heck, this kinda reminds me of the intro to xenogears.

It's like Masseffect too. Kinda.

[tatsuya1221]

pretty unlikely

Actually, it's about as unlikely as aliens existing, since at this point there is no ties to anything that we can prove, it's all guesswork.

you gotta think man
over 1,000,000 planets out there, dont you think there are at least 2 with life?

[tatsuya1221]

As i said, it's still all guesswork, for all we know currently it could be a giant mirror or mural, as i said at this stage, we simply cannot know (well, most can't).

well ye but still you avoided my question

[tatsuya1221]

well ye but still you avoided my question

The question kinda depends on your religion, but anyway i'm an adherent to the one race idea myself, at least intelligent.

[fleek]

The question kinda depends on your religion

wait wat hold on go back wat

[tatsuya1221]

wait wat hold on go back wat

Christianity, buddhism, hinduism, shintoism, all of these have their own explanations of the stars.

[Pengitty]

As for what we should do if we found aliens. I'm kind of hoping that one of the ice moons in our system have some, even microbes would be aliens. If they do indeed exist, I think we should up our space programs quite a lot and perhaps finally end religion.

Saying that life can only exist on earth is a weak idea. A few hundred years ago, the entire universe revolved around us, the earth was a turtle, but before that it was a flat plane being held up by elephants and other stars were actually dead people or great markers of events, not other stars as our sun is the only sun that can exist. This is just like our solar system is the only one that can contain planets and so on.

I've learned to count on humans being wrong about astrological events in the past. This leads me to lean towards more likely and correct answers.

As for religion, if 'god' was ****ed about the tower of babel, why would he let us go into space? Why would he say the earth has 4 corners? Though that's Christians.

If the people in the middle east were chosen by "Allah", what exactly were they chosen to do? Spread his word while not tolerating people long enough to do this? o.o

Mormons can't say they don't believe in aliens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptfIguEqHXM

Scientology borrows from that.

So with all these things, what value does religion have as a basis to define anything?

I hope if we find advanced E.T.s that they will not hate us and that we can be friends.

EDIT: and mind you! by most of these religions (except for the ones that steal completely from others because they are doin' wrong), none of these other religions are right.

[GameGeeks]

I say gut them and see what comes out.

Your walking on very dangerous ground there.

[Pengitty]

Your walking on very dangerous ground there.

I'm being careful ^-^

I'm concerned thinking about the many atrocities performed in the name of religion.

Should we find other life forms on other planets and we/they can reach us, just think about what would happen from a religious stand point.

To further explain myself, I see many horrible things happening to our visitors or those we visit.

Some religions will judge them as heathens/unlawful creatures that shouldn't exist.

The KKK already has their hands full with every race except for pinkish-beige err... I mean "white" people. Though I'm pretty sure that only applies to humans.

Scientists and governments will want to screw them over somehow for their own gain (killing, stealing, and the like).

Those are all likely to happen at once. I really hope not. What I want is world harmony. If you believe in such and such god/cat/higher power, so be it, just adhere to the peaceful teachings rather than quote them to suit your own needs when an injustice finds you.

I would really love for humanity to advance and become mature enough to meet other races. Right now if we were to meet a race capable of traveling to us, we would be like going to a formal ball dressed in ripped jeans, and an old T-shirt with stains as opposed to formal wear.

I do not mean to be insulting. I myself believe in the M-Theory (Super Gravity and the String theories combined. It explains what was there before the Big Bang) O.O


If what you said was about the cartoon, that is based on actual research.
Multiple sources, not just that video, have said the same thing.

P.S. By the String and Super Gravity Theories combined, they do not make Captain Planet, I'm not a Planeteer. o.o

I'm going to tell you right now, stop this, this is flame bait even from mods, including me.

Also my mod status means nothing to me if your insulting people, this is the same as racism you know, i'm gonna say it again, STOP THIS.

Also keep in mind i'm not like everyone else here, i tend to know more than i say.

[twomuchfury]

well, if this isnt an interesting topic. I once beleived in aliens, but then looking a another monumental standpoint i thought to myself, how can things exist like this if, for one, i've never seen them. So like tatsuya said, it's all basically guesswork, unless you've seen it, then well, there's nothing more to say.

[GameGeeks]

Think of it this way. The chances of life here being a cosmic mistake is slim. Life is out there but it could be millions of light years away.

[tatsuya1221]

The point isn't whether there is life, but whether there is other intellegent life, but i get your point.

[GameGeeks]

Intellegence comes in many forms. Take dolphins they're verry intellegent. If you gave them the ability to think they'd probaly be on the same level as humans if not higher up. It basicly comes down to evolution which can very depending on the planets enviorment. Humans didn't always have thoughts pass through their heads. We where once driven by instinct. But we evolved into logical thinking. It could very well happen again even if in a different way.

If only i could agree with you, how sad this world really is.

[SirAllred]

I go with George Carlin's idea.

We’re gonna go to Mars. And then of course we’re gonna colonize deep space.

With our microwave hot dogs and plastic vomit, fake dog ***t and cinnamon dental floss, lemon-scented toilet paper and sneakers with lights in the heels. And all these other impressive things we’ve done down here.

But let me ask you this: what are we gonna tell the intergalactic council of ministers the first time one of our teenage mothers throws their newborn baby into a dumpster?

How are we gonna explain that to the space people?

How are we gonna let them know that our ambassador was only late for the meeting because his breakfast was cold and he had to spend half an hour punching his wife around the kitchen? And what are they gonna think when they find out, its just a local custom, that over 80 million women in the Third world have had their ****orises forcibly removed in order to reduce their sexual pleasure so they won’t cheat on their husbands? Can’t you just sense how eager the rest of the universe is for us to show up?”

[Old_School_Gamer]

if i found some aliens i'd challenge them to a game of monopoly. winner takes all!

[GameGeeks]

What if they where aliens with an amazing buisness sense?

[Old_School_Gamer]

then i'd pwn em with my dice rolling skillz! boo-ya!:devil:

[GameGeeks]

You do know they could just manipualte the dice with telekineses.

[Old_School_Gamer]

that's assuming these aliens have tk. assuming they did, i guess i'd just have to do the old human thing and lie about what means what in monopoly. back when i was a kid and i played pogs *stop laughing* i would lie to the younger kids about the rules and always win, one way or the other... sure, that's cheap, but if cheap means winning, then on with the cheap-ness...

[GameGeeks]

You gotta wonder if they have tk they probaly can read your mind.

[Old_School_Gamer]

well, if that were the case... i'd do like superman offa village of the damned and just think of a brick wall... that always works.
