do you believe in aliens?

[pianowolfi]

Mephisto explaining himself (from Goethe's Faust):
Faust: Well now, who are you then?
Mephistopheles: Part of that Power which would
The Evil ever do, and ever does the Good.
Faust: A riddle! Say what it implies!
Mephistopheles: I am the Spirit that denies!
And rightly too; for all that doth begin
Should rightly to destruction run;
'Twere better then that nothing were begun.
Thus everything that you call Sin,
Destruction - in a word, as Evil represent-
That is my own, real element.

How can anyone not believe in Aliens?

Look at my name!

I wish the USA would do something about their illegal aliens.  It’s getting to be a tax burden on the locals.

Don't start me off on that one old chap.

My favourite subject.

[pianistimo]

everyone who came to the usa 100 to 200 years ago was an alien.  the indians must have thought 'pale faces' came from another planet.  being of irish heritage and remembering the history of the potatoe famine - i'd say that the only reason people want to leave their homeland is when times get tough.  i don't think they'd leave if everything was good to raise a family and have opportunities for education.

i am in favor of taking in aliens - especially for the ones that are already here, and not deporting them.  they came partly from desperation to make a better life.  it is the 'american dream.'   now, it's like people are saying 'america isn't america.'  land of freedom and opportunity.

i also think that we have to carefully screen people who now enter because of terrorism. we are doing that by tightening the borders.  they are definately tighter.  in most areas.  the national guard, etc.  who wants to be shot?  if people are risking that and MAKE it - they are definately deserving of staying. 

i may be  renegade - but i think that most mexican people and others that i've met are very family oriented, loving, hard-working people.  they do many things with a lot of gusto and humility.  if we knew how to live on less like they do - we'd not have the tremendous waste that our country is known for.  also, they are not allowed adequate health care in their own country...so if they come and work here and become citizens - then we will be helping the world's health as well as our own.  the world's literacy.  the world's tolerance.  we can truly still say that we are democratic and free and promote freedom for all people.

You like Goethe? Marry me?

[pianowolfi]

You like Goethe? Marry me?

I love Goethe. Faust actually is my favorite drama. And I practise the first rach sonata, which is inspired by Faust. Marry you? Hihi. You are very cute as I have seen. But I am actually too old for you.. and already married.

[thalbergmad]

You wouldn't want him.

He is well ancient and not as good looking as me.

But I bet I'm faster in cycling uphill!

That would not take much doing.

I once got overtaken by a grass snake.

Thal

[pianistimo]

you mean that you overtook the snake going backwards?  i accidentally ran over a turtle last week.  i felt absolutely terrible.  i thought it was a leaf and i ran right over it's back.  it went 'crack.'  i figured it was paralyzed after that.   probably should have gone back to move it off the street - but with the paramedics they have a sort of cot to move people with broken backs on - and i didn't have any sort of cardboard with me.  what kind of penance does one do for this?

Amazing, i have never seen a leaf with flippers a head and a shell.

Never mind, you will still go to Heaven. People were always killing animals in the Bible.

It was probably killed instantly.

This may sound cruel, but I'll take a tire iron and clobber an injured animal on the road (not a domestic animal of course). I can't stand to see them suffer.

Even if an injured animal survives and crawls off into the woods, it probably won’t live long. It’s survival of the fittest for wild animals.

I’ll take an injured domestic animal to the vet.

Best, John

[pianistimo]

well, i didn't have a tire iron either.  seriously, i felt so badly the whole entire day.  then, of course, my husband is asking, 'where is it, where is it?'  when we went back together in the afternoon.  (he aims directly at pedestrians.  he likes to see how fast people can walk.  and, he cannot stand jaywalkers - so he makes them jump back on the sidewalk).  but, he's got a heart for people and animals when bicycling.  i don't know why the personality change.  usually, it's him that's going to get hit.  he looks around at the scenery and usually gets at least one racer coming right at him.  i have to say, 'look ahead!' really fast.  anyway, i think it was concern for the turtle.  we did rescue a deer last year who had feet tangled in a fence and with the help of a person on the other side - we untwisted the leg and fence and avoided getting kicked. 

i think it's only fair to animals to have a merciful 'going.'  kudo's to mercy.  especially since we are driving on what used to be their territory. 

my cat thinks she is human.  she is terribly offended if asked to get off the bed when i'm changing sheets.  basically, i have to work around her.  if she is taking a serious nap, i don't even bother. 

[johnny-boy]

We have a man called "Road Kill Rick" in the Poconos. He's responcible for removing animals from the local roads. We can always give him a call. His job pays $20,000 a year. Not really that much for such a gruesome job.

Best, John

[pianistimo]

road-kill rick.  hmm.  might consider telling the rangers here next time about the turtle.  they seem similarly minded towards the deer and animals.  they always try to get them to stay off the path or let them cross without getting hit. 

did you say poconos.  you live in the poconos?  then, you also live in pa?  have you seen pennsylvania's 'grand canyon?'  i'd like to visit there sometime.  not in a bus.

who can be so ignorant to feel that we are the only ones in this infinite universe... just the thought makes me laugh...

to keep a very, very, long story very short,,, my father is an airline pilot who in his 30 years of flying, 'once' eye witnessed a strange flying object with colors that he to this day cannot describe fully, floating around up in the nights sky.  He never claimed it being a flying saucer,, but he states he was 100% sure it wasn't an airplane, or any known flying object.

I always said,, if anyone would see UFOs ,, it would be pilots... they're always up there alone,,, total darkness...

he's been telling us and others the complete story for some time now,, and even today I get a kick out of it..

[prometheus]

I don't think UFO's have to do with alien life.

There are many very rare lightning effects that we are totally ignorant of. We don't even understand normal basic lightning. I think these can explain most serieus UFO reports.

Indeed prom.

When we get to understand ball lightning, we will explain many UFO reports.

Thal

[prometheus]

Yes, one example. There are also 'jets', 'sprites', 'elves', 'trolls'. X-ray and gamma emmissions.

They occur high in the atmosphere and have only recently been discovered.

So there's probably also be stuff not yet well-documented.

[thalbergmad]

troll lightning, what a lovely name

Just because I am not here very often does not mean I do not exist!

ALIENS ARE REAL! THERE GOING TO ATTACK EARTH! 

[danny elfboy]

I believe it's very very likely that there's evolved life in other planets.
I don't believe in UFO and little green people so far.

[pianowolfi]

LOL this old thread Just when I discovered that I AM an alien. Yes runescape, we will TAKE OVER 

[runescapeboy]

LOL better get ready Anti-Alien anitdote

[soliloquy]

In an infinite universe there has to be life on planets other than ours.

[imbetter]

LOL better get ready Anti-Alien anitdote

do you still play runescape?

[runescapeboy]

nope i dont play runescape anymore

[kony]

after you got full-rune pked and a cow killed you while you were chatting?

[etudes]

I do believe in aliens more than god   

[pianowolfi]

I do believe in aliens more than god   

Yes that might be true, because he doesn't need to believe in them, because he created them and therefore knows that they exist.

[pianistimo]

pianowolfi, must you do this RIGHT AFTER who would you most like to meet?

ps i happen to believe your perspective - but i had to check the thread to make sure you weren't referring to me. 

pss my piano now qualifies for 'alien' status.  only the black keys are tuned properly.  it was the tuners way of avoiding a bigger crack in the soundboard.  guess that pianos only last so long.  well, anywyas - when i play it , i will now have aliens descending.

I couldn't resist. Alien piano? Right for me then.

[pianistimo]

i'll show you this piano, if i must.  frankly, i find it a bit embarrassing.  it was such a good piano before and i used to brag how it stayed in tune so well.  am thinking of keeping this one instead of attempting to sell it for pennies.  am thinking of fixing the crack.   

do you think some kind of watered down glue would work?  i don't want it to expand when it dries.  also,i'd have to sort of putty knife it in.  this is going to be a messy job - i can tell already.  unless.  unless there is some kind of tape that looks like wood - that i can just stick on.  but, what i really want to do is increase the life-expectancy of this piano.  so the glue might give the strength it continues to need.  once it hardens - then, i want to get the white keys tuned. 

the worst that can happen is that the piano explodes suddenly?  i mean - you put too much pressure on the soundboard and the whole thing just snaps?  this might be worth watching.  ok.  i'll carefully tune the piano after fixing the crack.  standing back after each wrench turn.

omg that sounds actually serious. lol. a case for that piano technician. Anyway, I'll send you a pm back soon

Sure do, illegal aliens cross our borders everyday in the USA. Did I mention that before?

Might be. But there are legal aliens who cross the border of existence. (sorry I am really silly tonight )

[ihatepop]

I did not vote in the poll as I was thinking 'possibly and possibly not'.

The topic of extra-terrestrials have been sparking the research and imagination of many people world-wide.

Indeed, there has been a few bits and pieces of evidence which somehow seem so true. However, what is the definition of 'extra-terrestrials'? What debussey symbolism has mentioned in his earlier post is correct. Bacteria, which has been already proven to exist in outer space, can indeed be considered as 'extra-terrestrials', as the commen definition of 'extra-terrestrials' is 'life that exists beyond the earth'.

However, I am quite sure that the author of this thread was refering to aliens.

[olga_janina]

Pianistimo do aliens go to heaven?

[pianistimo]

it is the only place that truly accepts them (and never calls them illegal). 

abraham and several others said they were merely 'sojourners.'  and, several people such as abraham had visitors from outer space.  otherwise, called angels.  they already reside in what what we call heaven (otherwise known as space).  although - the more we find out about space - perhaps it can be 'rolled up like a tent' as some place in the bible describes the earth and heavens.  therefore - the 'aliens' or angels could reside actually outside of time and space. 

jesus christ would be thought to be an 'alien' because of his death and ressurrection.  his disciples were literally 'amazed' - even though he already told them that He was God.  He is the 'firstborn of many brethren.'  if he is the firstborn - there must be a few more to be born.  that is why i believe that we will all become aliens. 

none of us will be called 'illegal aliens' though.  we will be perfectly legal.  'in a moment...in a twinkling of an eye...at the last trumpet.  the dead shall be raised - incorruptible.'

i think we are only aliens and sojourners here on earth because our true home is with God.

[prometheus]

Bacteria, which has been already proven to exist in outer space, can indeed be considered as 'extra-terrestrials',

Whoa! When has this been proven?

[shortyshort]

It's much more likely that aliens exist, than God existing. Yet, millions of comfort seeking fools still believe in God. Some even give 10% of their income to their church. Much cheeper to buy a comfort blanket.

There must be aliens out there, but I don't think they've been here for a long time.

[olga_janina]

I think it's arrogant to believe that the Earth is the only inhabited planet... (However, that doesn't mean that I believe in little green men coming to the Earth on vacation).

[thalbergmad]

That is true.

I would rather go to Neptune myself. Looks really nice.
