    disagreeing with common sense while you do it.

    we are waitng for the mothership to return...and then much like the mayans, we will return to our home planet.
    Seriously though, you can't watch the above video and not keep an open mind about all of this.. Anyone's guess is as good as mine.

    Given probability and the size of our universe, it is estimated that as many as 10,000 civilizations may exist. Wether they have visited here or not is the great debate, but the theory out is that there are interdimensional travelers, not from great distances.. ideas that would blow our little human minds. 8-)

    where did they get 10,000? probabilities, shit there has to be at least that out there.

    i think that when we are told something is just common sense, what it is is just an agreed upon consensus.

    what you are saying is that UFOs are in fact government aircraft, which while it is your opinion based im sure on deep research and reflective thought, is not at all so widespread an opinion to be able to be held up as just common sense.

    Some show with some scientists, explaining numbers that would blow our minds and how many chances there would be for life to evolve to that point... interesting stuff. I'm not convinced anyone has actually visited us, but I am open to the idea of different dimensions and things our brains aren't evolved enough to understand. There's something crazy going on, that's for sure..

    how can whether aliens have visited here or not be of great debate when its not even a fact that they exist in the first place???

    Maybe someone else has the facts.. I think we are debating opinions on information that may or may not exist.



    I just like to keep an open mind. We can only process what we percieve. The world was once flat.



    Who has to tell you they exist before you believe it? Do you have to touch one before you believe it?

    Whenever someone see's an Object that is flying and is Unidentified..it is a government craft.

    Then you go on about logic and common sense,
    what seems more likely to you? a gov't that spends trillions on war has crafts that can do these maneuvers and is keeping them secret or that alien beings, travelling billions of miles are cruising the planet for what? another question for you.....what the fuck are these aliens doing here?

    Why are we (mankind) travelling across space many thousands of miles cruising other planets? For what? Maybe they (these aliens) are curious like us?

    I mean seriously Commy, you are asking me the Modus operandi of an Alien that may of may not even exist.

    This entire debate we are having is based on you speaking of facts and saying that all ufo's are simply government. When in reality you don't know, then you cite common sense and logic.

    and common sense and logic (in this case) should keep us from saying for sure what we know these flying objects to be. We can say that the probability is high of some of these crafts being secret military etc,

    I'm not making a solid judgment whichever way, as I simply do not know what all those Flying object are or were.

    Some cases they are military, sometimes maybe not. I don't know.

    Anyway, the funny thing is this, we were talking about the caller at the end of the video, who said that area 51 was not about aliens but rather inner dimensional beings etc etc. Then you came in "ufo's are government" then ask me "what the fuck are these aliens doing here?"

    There have been been many aircraft in our past that were thought to be impossible by the technological standards of the day. gov't has an advantage over what is produced. that's where common sense comes into the debate. they've done it before, who's to say they aren't doing it now? how many times do we need to be fooled before we realize the truth?

    so today we have aircraft doing impossible maneuvers, according to the technology available today. just as they did it before.


    common sense tells me they're probably gov't. that makes more sense than the explanation where we are being visited by an intelligent race from a far away planet.

    so they are interdemensional beings?




    i hope you can understand my skepticism when i don't take this at face value.

    i'm not sure about that either. but i do believe we are evolving.

    No I did not say that, stop using conjecture in your debates. Go back, look at the video, read the posts again. Without so much anger and/or frustration.

    i apologise if you think im simply being contrary. yes youre right it makes more sense that theyre probably govt aircraft rather than the alien spacecraft, but thats hardly a great stretch now is it? and that hardly makes it common sense. the fact is neither of these suppositions tells me that they are in FACT govt aircraft when the alternate choice is what some would consider fantastical based on the thought that we cant possibly be alone.

    Survival of the fittest isn't so in our society so much anymore, so we really aren't getting any smarter. Nothing is killing off dumber people.. in fact, they are more likely to keep reproducing.

    You believe we are evolving.

    If you don't mind, could you expand on that please. Evolving in what sense? mind? body? Evolving into what? and Why?

    Could make for a great thread, in fact maybe this should be in the the 'spiritual evolution' thread?

    We have 5 senses we evolved with to tell us about the world around us. Some creatures don't even have that. Explaining a 6th sense to us, the ability to pick up on another dimension, would be like trying to explain what sight is to a creature that doesn't have or need it.




    Everyone is going to have an opinion, but we should all keep an open mind.


    The video is crazy. I don't know how anyone can watch those images and not be in wonder.

    No, does it say we are de-evolving?

    Unless we can start genetically engineering ourselves, I don't see how at this point we can keep evolving is a good way.. Maybe eventually, but not in this time.

    i absolutely believe we are not alone.




    yet i use my fucking brain like a reasonable person and realize its gov't craft doing these maneuvers. they've done it before, they are probably doing it now. are all UFO sightings gov't craft? maybe not. if i don't follow common sense, at least i'm gonna listen to history. they've fooled us in the past, i'm not gonna accept that this time.

    as soon as they open up black operations to the public let me know. i might then change my mind.

    Maybe.. I could believe that. Maybe that's the sixth sense? Many creatures are thought to have it.. but what about a 7th or 8th sense?

    haha whoa there.. lets just figure out whether there is a 6th sense before we go getting all excited about anything more. :lol:

    ive often wondered what deja vu is. im not saying its a sense, but when i get it, it makes me wonder.

    I just watched a show on this. It brought to light a few interesting points. They wanted to base their conclusions on factual evidence. I don't want to mis-quote anything, but it was Brad Meltzer's Decoded. While I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with anything they said or did in the show, I thought some points they made were very interesting.

    I thought the timeline of technological advances since the incident at Area 51 were interesting as well as some accounts of the men who actually were associated with the site.

    It's mathematically impossible to say that there is not any other life out there.

    to Idris...

    evolution...

    competition is found everywhere in nature. it is not necessary. that is one part of our evolution....instead of working against each other we will work together. a small part of what's to come, but i do believe i will rise above, jealousy, selfishness, greed, paranoia, all the bullshit that keeps us at war and at ends, i do believe we can transcend all of it.
