The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming!!!, page 1

I hear you, I hear ya.... the thing is, we're over there. MY (and maybe yours) taxdollars are paying to KILL people. It sucks and we should not be there in the first place. I don't buy the gov't version of S11 at all, I was living in lower Manhattan when it happened, I have family of friends who died then and have been livid since. The middle class is brainwashed and are now paying the price in their futures w/ changed personal bankruptcy laws and subprime/credit collapses.

Edit: Anti-US? Not really, great place to live for now, should police state/g depression hit, see you to s america or c america and work on a farm, temperate weather all year, cheaper cost of living. I live in a city, but those who drive at $3 a gallon? Commute a lot? Getting worse, 'peak oil' seems to be legit and then, 200$a barrel, do the math -- $7 a gallon! Ruined middle-class. The Synarchists in power win/won.

Cowards? Eh, taking a little too far when we're not there and don't know what goes on. To be honest w/ you, I am for al-Sadr's Mahdi militia. It's their right to fight for their country and people. I can't buy the media (any media for that matter) version of this.

Check out Jean Baudrilliard's "The Gulf War Did Not Take Place" It's obviously a philosophical view of the first one and made me think differently, a televised war IS the postmodern age. To go to a warzone is lunacy. We haven't advanced as people. Just fly aircraft carriers somewhere, drop (maybe nuclear) bombs on unsuspecting people and then send a high-tek military to kill? This is a dark age at the point in history we're at, and at the cost of it (millions, billions?! a week) the US is gonna be bankrupt sooner then later.

Edit: as per going off the topic, my bad; people would go nuts. Think about the subject, it'd be like Robbins in War/Worlds, shotguns in your bunkers, worried about a takeover ---or---- friendly aliens/beings offering to take you somewhere else, light speed?! Outta here. The awful gov't and power brokers 'left behind' and Earth can heal, great. Recent article about 40-50% US native/migrating birds, dead. A ruined environment, we should be using MAVLEV trains by now. Instead the infrustructure is decayed and rotting and overpriced, let alone no tek invested, the kids are lost on video games or i'net/digi cable while the, soon-to-be retiring baby boomers are looking the other way watching crime dramas. Amma (not the god) in a strange catagory, 30s, trying to write/live off music in a digi collapse. Downloading has taken over, file-sharing exists, one case here and there against people doesn't stop the kids, I see my albums up on those sites, the gov't has done nothing to HELP the artist. Yeah, amma w/ Metallica drummer here.

And pardon, the rant!

I disagree with America's foreign policy greatly, but back on subject or I'm calling the mods.

I hear you again last poster, the SCI FI channel clip on the UFO
outside the twin towers days, months, years (?) prior to the attack
seems legit and maybe they were looking in on those who'd die,
they seemed to be hovering around those floors.

And the spacecrafts that have supposedly shown up at nuclear
weapons launching facilities, yeah, they're trying to tell us some-
thing.

I'll cite that GRAY crop circle from 2002 again, w/ the Gray holding a
CD w/ spacecrafts in the background, in 8-bit ASCII code!!!

Well, I wanted to spark some imagination and sort of let the thread runs its course, see how people react to the scenario. Kinda don't want to narrow it down to a "What would you do" thread, so it is kinda open in many directions. But please, like supermod says: Dont turn this into a pro-US/anti-US thread.

First thing I would do is to slap non-alien-believers head and say: I told you so!

Jbird, this IS on topic,

Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what this, for example, has to do with "Aliens have landed ...what now?"

Cowards? Eh, taking a little too far when we're not there and don't know what goes on. To be honest w/ you, I am for al-Sadr's Mahdi militia. It's their right to fight for their country and people. I can't buy the media (any media for that matter) version of this.

or this

I live in a city, but those who drive at $3 a gallon? Commute a lot? Getting worse, 'peak oil' seems to be legit and then, 200$a barrel, do the math -- $7 a gallon!

Edit: as per going off the topic, my bad;

You admit it, then tell me otherwise? One of us is confused.

Anyway, remember this is the Survival Forum, just try not to stray , too far.

you had me rolling on the floor with that one.
First thing I would do would be get on U-tube and find a video of the event taking place. Gather as much Intel as necessary to make a rational decision. Basing on what is known to make my decision trying really hard to keep speculation out of it.

Of course if there staging like they did in independence day I am gonna head for the hills. I figure if the aliens are smart enough to travel interstellar space they are smart enough to go to Washington not stage there ships over many areas. If I see that happening that to me is a sure sign they do not have our best interest in mind.

On a personal note sorry I started the thread down that road but I have a nasty habit of defending my country when unfairly attacked.
