War of the Worlds...as in, we need one.

What we need is a *good* war. A war that involves the classic Allies vs. Axis, good vs. evil sides. Pure allegory, where one side symbolizes good, the other symbolizes evil, none of this just/unjust/fair/unfair/media-painted crap going on in the Middle East.

We need humans vs. aliens...yeah. That's the stuff.

Deano
it will happen..

Imperial_Samura
But what if the aliens aren't really evil? H.G Welles iconic novel was actually a critique on imperialism and all that (the whole "superior race" morally, technologically and all that having a right to do as it wishes and subjugating "Lesser" peoples) and to a degree such things still exist today. But yeah, humanity needs a shake up, and eye opener, something to unite and wash away modern decadence and greed. A fight for life, pure and simple. So lets bring on the aliens, as long as they are evil.

Deano
i read that the powers that be are gonna stage an alien invasion to bring the world together under a one world goverment!!!! aaaaaaaaahhhhh

Why can't it come true?

Imperial_Samura
I'm certainly open to the possibility it could happen. It might not be likely, but there is still a chance.

And granted, there's a good chance they might be peaceful, but then I reckon the peaceful aliens out there would give humanity a wide berth because of the, I don't know, perpetual war fare and so forth we have kept up since we hauled our selves out of the mud (woo, rants against humanity are fun.) But if I ran an evil Galactic Empire, I would be so here with my fleet. Of course taking into account the 100 things an evil overlord shouldn't do.

Yes, you posted doctored photos, and provided names of firemen that either don't exist or were misquoted. And you still refuse to address eye witnesses that contradict your claims. As far as the microchips, you produced a video montage that showed a news program about RFID chips that has already been proposed for clothing and merchandise. The only conspiracy was the one in the narrators head. Just more garbage with no real basis.

I think it'd be a little unwise to assume that just because aliens would have the ability and technology to travel large distances that hey would automatically pure in intention....

Ancients on earth may have thought that to about a man who could fly...
"Why if those men have technology like that don't they better themselves and use it to help thier fellow man..?" etc

...But bombers and fighters exist and they have a purpose...

A lot of our flight technology has been developed for war.... Just as they may have had a similar evolution technology wise...

They might want our planets resources...Minerals..Water...Gases...
Hell... They might even want to stock there food stores with us....

LMAO! You hate that about people, yet you make assumptions all the time. A classic self-hater.

Scientists have said that there is no way that they can think of to cross galactic distances in a reasonable amount of time based on our knowledge of science. It's not even about technology, just the laws of nature. That would make it fairly unlikely that aliens have visited earth.

Sadako of Girth

they could cross the galaxy in a split second..heres info for you

Defense Scientists and Engineers are finally starting to understand the ultimate propulsion system that can make instantaneous space travel possible. The UFOs use this propulsion system to travel great distances instantaneously.

The speed of light is 670,000,000 miles per hour ? a number no human being can ever stand in any craft for a long time. Does that mean UFOs are unmanned or extra-terrestrial beings are totally different? It is possible but not likely. Theory of evolution in the Universe says that intelligent life forms are abundant in the Universe but they have evolved in a similar way.

Traveling even at the speed of light (670,000,000 miles per hour) is just not enough to cover distant destinations in the Universe. For example even at that speed traveling from one constellation to another may take hundreds of years.

Then how can one travel such great distances in a short span of time?

Every country believes they will be the first to uncover the technology of ?flash travel? which is the term used in traveling from point A to point B in the Universe instantaneously.

To understand the concept, imagine you have to travel from New York to New Delhi, two points in the opposite sides of the globe. Now think you have the technology of freezing time and then get back to current time. At 9AM (or any other time of a particular day), you take the instance of the globe and freeze it for travel. Now assume the globe is made of paper or some other flexible material. Now you deform the globe and bring NY and New Delhi touch each other. Then travel from NY to New Delhi instantaneously because the distance is really very little since you deformed the globe. After completing the travel you put the globe back to its original configuration. And you transfer yourself to the current time.

This may seem complex but actually once the technology is mastered it is really simple. Another way to understand this is to hold a piece of rectangular paper in your hand. Bring the two opposite corners of the rectangular piece of paper together and make them touch each other. Now the distance between the two opposite corner is really zero.

Bending space and time is the concept where you do not travel to the destination; you bring the destination close to you. This is exactly how UFOs travel from one destination to another. That is the reason why those who are waiting with their telescope in the open sly to find UFOs will never find them.

Scientists and Engineers are now perplexed trying to understand how that kind of space travel is possible. The answer lies in using something known as dark energy. The dark energy allows disintegration or deformation of space. There are some early indications that dark energy also allows isolating time dimensions.

Source?

Oswald Kenobi
Are you kidding me? that's about as concrete as the guy who said he constructed a real light saber. What's the source on that? All it says is to move between two points, you fold the space around you. They offer no way to actually accomplish this. And you do realize this is straight out of Star Trek, right?

EDIT: I cannot call bullshit on that information, because it is an idea that real world scientists have toyed with, but there is no way to apply it to space travel.

That's simply not true. There are limits to what can be accomplished.

Actually 100 years ago, people believed space travel was a possibility. It took less than 50 years to make it happen.

Well ok, that is right that was flawed, but if you looka t most moral standards, starting with Aristotle and Greece 3000 years ago to Roman Culture to Christian Ideologies most of them would categorize Hitlers Ideologie as evil, so although there is no real Moral we can say that somehow Hitlers ideas were differnt from others .....

Things like that change... Thousands of years ago we considered slaverly right, and racism wrong... The rich were rich the poor were poor.

Morals change with time it may seem like they haven't changed but thats only because we don't consider them changed. If you really look at Rome or ancient Greece or the christian worlds or the Muslim worlds of a few hundred years ago you would find a million things wrong with it.

I see your point, but evil is fairly easy to define. Causing pain and/or destruction to others for the sole sake of causing pain and/or destruction is a good definition. That's not very subjective.

But then only if you're saying the concept of evil is subjective.

Yes I don't believe in morals, i believe Morals comae aboot from selfishness....basically Humans don't like to get Killed so they get together to not get killed so this is the basic Moral "Don't kill another Human" ....... and Hitler did that.....although morally that is not wrong, it is and will probably forever be considered as evil...it would have been in Germany back then too if those people weren't seen as below Human.

Killing hasn't always been wrong. Would you kill a 1st grade school class if it would cure aids and cancer... I would.

Hitler thought he could everybody thats not Aryan and he would save the world in doing so. Killing for him was not wrong it was a means to an end. During the crusades killing had to be done by orders of the church, that was wrong but nobody considered it wrong at that time because well it wasn't back then. During Rome people were thrown before the lions and gladiator games were held, thousands died. It wasn't considered evil it was considered entertainment. When Rome fought its wars others thought they were evil, Rome thought they were saving the world by bringing them civilization. All opinions killing isn't seen as wrong, at least not most of the time. Most killers don't even think they are wrong.

Ha, your reasoning has a major flaw, why would you kill? To find a cure to cancer which would safe more lives...but that doesn't change it, I didn't say it is a real moral, it the first that comes to mind, cause it is the most basic want of a human being (well I agree with Thomas Hobbes there) .... and so it is not abot real Evil versus Good, it is aboot subjective (majority wise) thinking of evil and good...that is why a war against aliens would be Evil vs. Good...cause for us Humans would be "good"

Yeah I would kill for good.

Hitler wanted to kill for good. The allies killed for good. Ghengis Khan killed for good, Africanus and Barca killed for good. They all thought they killed for good. So they did what they thought was the right.

And yeah a war against Aliens would be evil vs good, humans vs the others... But on earth there has never been a war of evil vs good.

Yes, but the ants would more than likely win the war in the long run, since they are everywhere. Think about it, if ants were to wage a war on humans, they could just get into your house and kill you in your sleep, probably crawl into your lungs and start biting.

Depends, did we start it on their homeplanet or did they on ours, or did we just meet somewhere in the universe....

I just saw War of the Worlds.

AC's quick review: Stupid, CGI fest. Pointless and ridiculous overrated piece of trash.

Yeah, I liked the book, but I also liked the movie.

That would mean that I would have had some power over creating it. Sadly enough, it seems that Steven Spielberg is the real FeceMan.

One thing I'm surprised about is that, at the end, there was a statement with the phrase "...God, in His infinite wisdom...". I would have thought it would have been changed to something like "...Mother Nature, in Her infinite wisdom...".

Well, if the aliens are invading our planet, I don't think it would be difficult to decide.

What a silly rationale.

When we invaded Germany during the war, were we automatically the bad guys due to invasion?

If aliens were coming here to clean up the mess that is our planet, bring them. I'll welcome them.

What the Germans were doing was genocide and their aim was to conquer the world. Our allies needed our help, and, if we hadn't jumped in, our own country would have been in danger.

I can guarantee that if aliens did invade, things would get a lot more cooperative with governments throughout the world.

So, what we're doing to our own planet is genocide. With the inevitable end of destroying a great world.

If Aliens hadn't jumped in, it would have been destroyed.

What then? Coz that's your rationale.

So species only have a right to be defended if they're sentient?

Because bugs are sentient.

Humans are the only species that have a right to be defended--as they are the only species who can establish a government with rights. Do I think other species should be defended? Yes. Am I going to petition for them to have the right to be defended or to vote? No.

We're the dominant species on this planet. I don't care if there are more insects than humans on the planet because, if that's the case, than bacteria and viruses should be the dominant species. We're intelligent and continuing to advance. Insects are never going to build houses or cars. Dogs are never going to build houses or cars. Neither are dolphins or primates.

My rationale was that we were defending a species that is self-aware, can discern between good and evil, and can understand fully what happens around it. The Nazis were evil. We were protecting other humans--members of our species--from being exterminated. If Hitler had decided to declare war on crabgrass, no one would have cared. But Hitler declared war on humans.

Whoever hasn't thought things through must be Jackie.

That's just the meanest thing you can say i n a debat...you are despicable.......


Anyways I think we as a species see when defending ourselves would call us "good" although this term doesn't really apply.
I personally beliecve there is no real "good" or "evil" there is only definitions of "good" and "evil" and today most people in our society (at least western, probaly a lot of others too) today would agree to us (the humans) being good while other species would be considered evil....same with Hitler and the Nazis, most people nowadays would define them as "evil"...that's the closest we will ever come to ideas like "good" and "evil".....

So your rationale is getting to an end product that is beneficial?

What if the beneficial result was Earth's destruction?

As for us continuing to advance, that's very debatable.

Dolphins etc are never gonna be as advanced, true. But they'll never have wars and all that fun stuff.

Works both ways.

I don't understand where you are getting my rationale that the ends justify the means. I didn't mean to imply that in my post; could you elaborate?

Earth's destruction isn't beneficial to us. In fact, it's beneficial to nothing. All those animals you wanted to save earlier? Dead. In what way would Earth's destruction be beneficial to anyone but the aliens--and how would it benefit them, anyhow?

Aliens in South park are idiots though...they don't even have substantives, make TV-Shows out of a stupid little planet and Award "The biggest douche in the Universe"

I never said anything about it being beneficial to us.

I'm talking about on a grander scale. If it were beneficial to more than just our insignificant rock floating in space.

If Earth's destruction was to the benefit of say, the universe. Killing one planet to save a great many, would you do it?

No, I would not. I have said time and time again that, if I were to travel back in time, I would not kill Hitler. I would not kill Stalin. I would not kill Vlad the Impaler or Ivan the Terrible or anyone else. Surely they deserved death, but I would not be their executioner.
