O.K. while I know that many on this board lack the abillity to think critically I would like to point out that the "worker slave" hypothesis makes absolutly no sense when viewed in the context of human nature.
Take for example an animal which we know for a fact to be "designed" (through selective breeding) as a labourer.
Oxen.
Now oxen have been used by man for millenia, and over that time we have as a species bred theses beasts of burden for specific traits.
1) Endurance
2) strength
3) docility
In addition we have intentionally tried to breed certain traits out of these beasts the biggest being agression, both directed torwards other speces and thier own. After all if you have to work two oxen in a team you don't want them fighting do you?

Now what does this have to do with the "worker slave" hypothesis?

Well to put it simply humans are among the most agressive beings on the planet, both torwards ourselves and other species. Cruelty, violence, rage etc are a part of our nature.

My point is had we been "designed", whether through selective breeding or genetic tech to be workers these traits are amongst the first traits that would have been removed. Add to that our innate fear of things we don't understand, which invariably leads to agression and humans emerge as a species fantastically unsuited for slave labor. Hell we still kill people because they are a different color, much less a species from an entirley different planet.

Now the idea of humans having been bred as a soldier race, well that is, at least based on human nature, somewhat plausible.

An ox is a mild-mannered beast because IT IS A CASTRATED BULL, not because through artificial selection a tractable bull was created.

Once upon a time, back in the Stone Age of the ATS website, someone started a thread, on Aug. 14, 2002, with a title that was nearly identical to the title of the present thread, "Why do aliens come here?". This is the address:

www.abovetopsecret.com..." target="_blank" class="postlink">www.abovetopsecret.com...

Maybe the most noteworthy message in it is the one posted by the Super Moderator calling himself TheBandit795, who said ...




I've said it again and again... Why do you guys always assume that Aliens will only be physical beings... Some, if not most are not physical.
There are different dimensions according to the string theory.
I myself have seen some weird beings the first time I had an OBE. When I went back in my physical body I couldn't see them anymore....
Think about it... Do you think you are always alone in your room in front of your pc???
