There's two reasons why I don't take stuff like this seriously.

You're calling him a liar?  I know some people are cynical, I guess I've always been what people would call naive.  I tend to lean towards believing someone until they give me reason otherwise.  Especially someone like him who has his public reputation to consider.

The only time I am not believing of what someone tells me is when it is just obvious they are lying.  I think for the most part people are or at least try their hardest to be honest.  You probably think I'm naive though.  Oh well, just the way I am.  Kind of always been that way.

 

Yes, I'm calling him a liar.

The only time I believe what someone tells me is if I have reasonable evidence proving it...I'm not asking for 100% irrefutable proof, but with this alien stuff, they have nothing to go on but their own word and the testimony of a few people who say that they have had an encounter...I'm sorry but i'm not convinced.

 

Funny, I thought you were one of those who declare God to exist. How can you believe in God when there is no resonable evidence of His existence except for claims made by men in a book, then?

For the love of God dont go into a religious debate.

Saying the only evidence of existance of God is in a book, if the first sign you have no clue what your arguing.

Theres more documentation for the UFO phenomena than the holocoust.

www.ufocasebook.com  << On average 5 reports daily, most with pictures or videos.

But thats not even the half of it....

Look at my previous post.  A interview with buzz aldrin saying the same thing....

 

The reporting of a UFO is not the same as a report of an alien...a UFO is simply an unidentified flying object, many of which can be chalked up to military testing and natural phenomenon...nothing has ever led me to believe that any UFO was alien in nature.

 

www.ufocasebook.com

Theres a site that gets on average 5 reports a day.  If you need better proof goto the "best alien photos" and videos section

My favorite video, that happened a few miles from my town actually....

Stephenville Texas sightings in 2007 (Did noone catch this on the news?)

youtube.com/watch

About 1/3 into the video it starts going crazy.

Now you tell me what the hell that is

edit: Heres another good UFO video, shows a ufo with the same pattern as in the video above

Over 300+ planets have been found throughout our own galaxy.  All the size of jupitor or larger.  A new space telescope is going up that will be able to locate earth sized planets.

If I'm searching for life and have the ability to locate earth sized planets, and not just any life, but advanced life.  One of the things I would look for would be signs of advanced technology such as nuclear power.  If we found a planet that was detonating nuclear bombs we sure as hell would want to know who and what those life forms were, and if they pose any kind of a threat to us. 

I don't think that it's far fetched to believe that somewhere out there intelligent life has been doing the same thing we have, looking for signs.  They found it when we started testing nuclear bombs.  They found it by monitoring planets for gama ray bursts.  Possible.  At least I believe that this has happened.

 

Ufo reports happened thousands of years before the atom bomb or any man made gamma rays

I don't think they did.

Creativety, imagination, creation are instinctual behaviors in humans. 
I've never seen a hyroglygh that  depicted aliens coming to earth that is widely excepted as genuine.

Ufo sightings are the product of the 40's.  Mostly I hear that the cold war and the coming of the nuclear age were responsible for Ufo's and aliens in pop culture.  They became glomourised in books and movies at the time.  Just fiction.

I can't remember his name, but the guy that discovered the canals on Mars thought they were built buy aliens, they were remnants of ancient cities or something. 

I also think that humans are incredibly intuitive.  Some of the things we imagine aren't so much the product of creativety, but unknown understanding of what is, and possiblities.  I think that we have a limitted ability to predict. 

Also.  Vulcanic eruptions, on massive scales I believe have the potential to cause a nuclear explosion.  Vulcanoes I believe are neccesary for life.  They release material into the atmosphere that create planets like earth.  We have four in our system, and earth is similliar to all of them If I'm not mistaken.  It's either venus or murcury ( the second planet) that would have easilly been our twin if it's atmosphere wasn't so toxic.  I think that you increase the odds of life on a planet with more vulcanic planets similliar to early earth.  They can share material, thus increasing the odds of neccesary components having suitable enviroments to grow.  Life may not have begun on earth.  It could have easily come from 2 other planets in our system.  The start of our system would have been a very volitle time, with lots of explosions and super massive vulcanoes.  We could have been sending out welcome beacons billions of years ago. 

Imagine a world united in achieving a goal that would be the most profound event in all of intelligent life.  Imagine finding a system that contains multiple planets just like our own.  We will develope the technology to get thier; we know we can.  Imagine when we get there and find intelligent life, civilizations.  We wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

 Space is something.  It is a fabric that can be manipulated.  It consists of some material.  I believe that it is possible to move along space by other means that do not exist within the ream of "time". (time doesn't exist) We will do this by manipulating the fabric of space, and so will other species.

I'm rambling.

I don't think ancient man was being visited by aliens.

I agree with many of your points that deal with time and physics.   Although volcanic eruptions have nowhere near the power to produce radiation.  Pressurized gas and lava doesnt have enough energy to split an atom, much less contain radioactive material.

The reason we have more UFO reports now is because

A.) There are more people in the world.

B.) Cameras, media, instant communication since the early 1900's

Although there have been MANY reports before this.  But not shared to due technological reasons.

lol everything exists in our mind.  Even ourselves

A monk who committed suicide by setting himself on fire.  Didn't move a muscle, just sat there.

Even physicist will tell you reality is an illusion.

 

Why would he do this?  What a painful way to go.   I can think of better ways to off myself that are less messy and less painful. 

He was protesting the war.  And he isnt moving because he doesnt feel pain.  He's a professional meditator, he isnt inside his body.

Why the fuck does everyone assume that Aliens are far more technologically advanced than us? Because they have big heads and little frames?

And how can an astronaut asses that a foreign species who has visited us a couple of times, have the capability to wipe us out?

Because they have mastered interplanetary travel and anti gravity

Because we have enough nukes to blow up the surface of the earth 15 some odd times.  Imagine what they have.

Oh...I thought this was about the new x-files movie.   No I do not believe that ET's that have visited here.  If they had they would have recognized that our species would be to dangerous to allow to get off this rock and they would have wiped us out.

lol

The disk shaped ufo phenomena has been around since ancient times.  Im sure if they wanted to do anything they would of done it a LONG time ago.  And all the reports on aliens are non hostile.

Were barbaric compared to them. (except in looks :D)

lol whoever already doesn't believe in the ufo phenomena is extremely nieve.  Theres more documentation for the phenomena than the holocaust

Lol i played FoM for 2 years and it was probably the best mmo ive ever played.  (Just due to sandbox reasons, the player made content kept me going)

what didnt you like about it?

Yeah the AoC forum mods are nazis.  I would love to see the deleted archive.  Its probally x2 bigger than the forum itself

I honestly dont see why there is so much hate for darkfall.  Look at all the games releasing early, cut content, and some are about to die from all the bugs and boredom(AoC)

HL2 is a FPS that took 6 years to develop with a much bigger team than adv.  DF is a MMO that got revamped 2 years after the start.

Its absolutely idiotic to think that a game like DF is never comming out.  They have nothing to prove it except how long its been in production.  I honestly think you need help if you think a game is never comming out with a high production value website, screenshots, videos, 30 or so recent dev journals, all the lore and work they put into it, people visiting the studio and writing about their visit  ect.

Right now DF is the only game that holds true to the "M M O R P G" title.  It ressurects old UO style gameplay and when it comes out it will blow all other MMO's out of the water. 

If a game is amazing, you dont need hype and advertisement , it will sell itself.  Apparently the people at funcom thought hype makes a game funner

Didn't half life 2 take 6 years to develop? Isnt that a FPS?  Didnt that have a bigger team?  Did they have to revamp it 2 years after the start?

They reduced the size of the breasts just recently.

Lets sue funcon for false advertisement, again.

We cling on to darkfall because its the only game in the foreseeable future that ressurects old UO style gameplay.

I dont know what the fate of darkfall is.  But i think its a little excessive to call it a hoax.  I honestly dont think someone would put in 7 years effort to come up with vaporware.  All the dev journals and people visiting the studio.

Calling it a hoax is a dumb conspiracy

We need something like Shadowbane, only not a buggy broken graphically ugly mess.

Something that all the "hardcore" gankers and griefers are always asking for.

It needs to be FFA. You can attack anyone, anywhere. And on top of being able to kill anyone, anywhere, the leveling curve needs to be steep. And just to taunt players, make leveling much easier if you're in a group. Of course, if you do group, someone in the group will probably stab you in the back when your hit points are way down.

Of course, make players lootable. Not just one or two items, but be able to strip someone and take as much gear as you can carry.

And, you should be able to gank newbs, and anyone that is 10 levels above you or more, can totally pwn you, and you can't even do one point of damage to them.

Put everything in it, like stealth, crowd control, and the ability to one shot another player with the right set up. All the stuff that most players cry about.

The graphics dont' need to be bleeding edge, because the sort of players that like this game are more concerned about gameplay than graphics.

We just need one of these games, and we can send all the "hardcore" players that complain about RvR or carebears, or whatever, to that game.

There really isn't anything out, or even in development that I know of, that fits this bill. Not just an after thought FFA server, but a game actually designed to be like this, a real pain in the arse for the casual player that doesn't want to get ganked every 5 minutes. I think there's enough players looking for this sort of gameplay, that it could make a buck. It's not going to be really popular, and it's definitely a niche, but I think it's a niche that needs to be filled.

 No offense to the griefers and gankers out there. Seriously, someone needs to make this game.

If it was full loot PvP it cant have levels.  It has to be skill based like UO, face of mankind, darkfall, ect.

I just need some help on a good workout routine. Any of yall know anything?

You better get some heavier dumbells if you wana get ripped.  10s and 20s will only get you toned
