Merged Their Return

[King of the Americas]

These two sentences contradict each other.

1. They don't want to be seen yet.
2. Sometimes they show up.

So, the proof that they are hiding from us is that we see them?

They have revealed themselves to those who've looked...

 

[King of the Americas]

Oh my, I remember some of your threads but I guess I'd forgotten that you had some rramjet types of beliefs. It's not that I'm unfamiliar with them, it's that I try to address one type of silliness at a time.

Addressing your op in this context is a little like speculating how one would go about contacting the tooth fairy, rather pointless. It's more fun to speculate on something that has a chance of being true, the presence of intelligent life in other solar systems.

If you can show me pictures of tooth fairies flying over Washington D.C.- TWICE, causing such a national scare as to force the launch of Project Blue Book...then I'll say we are comparing apples to oranges.

That you found the need to post, but not offer a solution reeks more of laziness, than intellectualism.

 

[King of the Americas]

No.


Wait, are we still pretending this is hypothetical, or can we just get right on with pointing out that your nonsensical claims are still just as nonsensical as they were every other time you made them?

Clearly you don't want to play, so get out of way.

Hey Cuddles, how ya been?

 

[King of the Americas]

I think the question of how to facilitate sporting contests between different species, from different planets and hence environments, is potentially an extremely broad and horribly complex one.

...


Doping rules may be quite a knotty problem, since what we see as illegal performance-enhancing drugs may be vital metabolic agents for some extraterrestrial competitors. As for genetic modifications, I think it's worth a moment's consideration of what, exactly, the competitors are forbidden to be genetically modified from.

Ah, but maybe they aren't from from another planet, maybe they are just ascended earthlings. Titan folk, or dark side of the moonies.

Now, I think THE biggest problem is going to be rules governing dietary intake and genetic makeup standards. What if they figured out the fluid exchange between breed pairs is virally hazardous, and they ONLY use artificial insemination? They again, don't we kinda do that with our sperm banks?

Maybe we should just TOSS all those rules in favor of marketplace principles. Who can run the fastest 100 m, from the moment the gun goes off to the line. No 'machine' assists allowed, but that's it. By dope, grope, or poke, if it is alive and breathing, line up and run. First one there wins.

(*On an entirely different note, "I predict that one day the para-olympics times and records will exceed able-bodied athletes, as we enter the bionic age.")

 

[King of the Americas]

If after all this time they've failed to make a convincing contact, what would lead anyone to believe they're competent or equipped in any way to detect our collective desire for their landing?

I think it's much better to leave things as they are, avoiding the risk to us that they'll turn out to be malevolent, and the risk to believers that their failure to appear will be so conspicuous.

I think our growth as a species demands that we accept that we are not alone, as sentient beings.

I think an arrival would be the most unifying event in human history...malevolent or not.

 

[Dave Rogers]

Ah, but maybe they aren't from from another planet, maybe they are just ascended earthlings. Titan folk, or dark side of the moonies.

But the gravity on both is much lower. Either they need to live in centrifuges, with their attendent power requirements, or they suffer from endemic bone redissolution due to the lower gravity, or they're genetically significantly different from us. There hasn't been time to adapt naturally, so we're looking at genetic manipulation. Looks like a blanket ban to me.

Now, I think THE biggest problem is going to be rules governing dietary intake and genetic makeup standards. What if they figured out the fluid exchange between breed pairs is virally hazardous, and they ONLY use artificial insemination? They again, don't we kinda do that with our sperm banks?

Artificial insemination still requires fluid exchange, just in a more controlled environment. As far as I'm aware we're OK on that one, since I don't think the Olympic rules have included any stipulations on eugenics, even in 1936.

Maybe we should just TOSS all those rules in favor of marketplace principles. Who can run the fastest 100 m, from the moment the gun goes off to the line. No 'machine' assists allowed, but that's it. By dope, grope, or poke, if it is alive and breathing, line up and run. First one there wins.

Get ready to present a whole shedload of weightlifting medals to superintelligent elephants from Jupiter, then. And we'll need some serious safety equipment, because we won't be able to tell the early stages of the clean-and-jerk from the hammer throw.

(*On an entirely different note, "I predict that one day the para-olympics times and records will exceed able-bodied athletes, as we enter the bionic age.")

I think that may infringe a realistic definition of the term 'machine assist'.

I am more worried about losing half of all the summer games to aquatics.

*I think I read somewhere of a triple amputee who could meet olympic standards, using 'no machines'. But he did run using carbon fiber, spring bow shaped legs. Dude could haul, no joke.

 

[Psiload]

You're new, so allow me to explain how wrong you are.

UFO's, are not 'necessarily' from another star...

From the beginning of our written history, 'they' appear in the skies. They could well be a form of advanced earthlings, ascended as it were. They don't have to be from anywhere distant, there are plenty of local hiding spots for them to hail from, our oceans perhaps.

What happens when we're all gazing skyward, and they come bobbing up out of the ocean?

Awkward.

If we are providing solutions to fictional scenarios, I would say that the best way would be to attach a note to the tooth before it is put under the pillow.

Clearly the TF is hiding from us, the proof is that she is sometimes seen by special, selected, persons.

In fact, she has been spotted so many times, by so many children, that the evidence, although anecdotal, together adds up to unassailable proof. So much eyewitness testimony just can't be wrong.

 

[Marcus]

Not until we have good evidence that we are not alone, until then it's just speculation.

I think an arrival would be the most unifying event in human history...malevolent or not.

Agreed.

 

[King of the Americas]

Indeed.

How ya bean buddy?

I saw the tooth fairy have sex with santa clause and I haven't been the same since...

Worlds collided, crumbed, and made it so I felt uncomfortable around my parents on jello night.

If UFO's exist they know all they need to know about us already. Flying around like they are supposed to be doing over the centuries observing us what else do they have to learn? At this stage of the game the onus is on them.

 

[King of the Americas]

Agreed.

There's plenty of evidence, from the good to the bad, but if conclusive proof is what you seek, then you are going to have to wait until 'they' give it to 'you'.

Sorry pal, if 'you' don't know they exist, it is because 'they' don't think you are special enough.

Someday soon, we will all find ourselves worthy, I hope.

If UFO's exist...mankind openly denies it, through governments.

Were we to stop, and take the exact opposite view, I think we'd see a them act differently towards us.

Are these the same governments who can't reach a consensus on pretty much anything? Yet they somehow manage to all tag along with a massive conspiracy?

With good reason. If we could communicate with dolphins, would their first message be "Which way is the Olympic swimming trials?"

I'd like to see a dolphin get out of the pool and get on the starting platforms.

 

[Lukraak_Sisser]

I think it sounds more like they are studying, modifying, or interbreeding human genetic programs. The story of Yeshua IS that, is it not?

'Angels came unto Mary and she was unknown to man, and gave birth to the christ child'.

The Olympics are our biggest, broadest, most global event. The second being the Superbowl, but they always have that in a dome now. The Olympics are almost always outside, televised, and attended. The are a humanly unifying event...

Ah, so Jesus was actually concieved to be an olympic superstar, but he decided to forgo a career in sports?

An why interbreed with abductees? I bet if they set up a specific adult only website they'd get a LOT more volentueers than they abduct now AND they'd make money.

I thought commercials were the bulk of what we broadcast. At least the most consistently. So it'd be best to try your experiment during the next commercial break.

I was thinking "Which way to wet bar?"
