Steven Spielberg Presents: Taken
 

has anyone but me been watching this? do you really think if aliens came down, the govt would just try to blast them? would they do something so..... so.... obtuse?? lol

damn.... sorry bout that.... but hey, the joint is almost over (i think). if you aren't in it, you're missing out imo - good nite!


:thumbsup

what channel?

yeah

SciFi.... they play it for 6 hours starting @ 7... so if u missed it, u don't have to miss it? whatever... shit is hot!

i've only seen episode 2, 3, & 4...

Anyone got a download link for me? I'd love to watch them all from the beginning...

I love the show, but I don't believe for a minute that we have been or will be visited by aliens. The distances are too far, and all the solutions are way too "pie in the sky" to take seriously. I'm not saying they're impossible, I'm saying that to believe in them is to put your bet on a very dark horse.

you know, some people say this about religion. i think anything is possible & i won't sit back for 1 second & believe that the universe is (theoretically) infinite yet there is not 1 species in it advanced enough to travel it & test US just like WE test animals & shit so we can understand them. people put all kinds of faith in miraculous shit but they can't believe some shit that's actually plausible. amazing.

You bring this up everytime.

But have you once calculated the time at which 'Thought' processes.

The belief in thought, is a much more dimensional theme than time.

Dark armies ride Dark Horses.

I am glad your breed dies off, so the new can breed with the new.

:glugglug

plz. hump your nearest alien

They're already here :thumbsup

Unfortunately, all the ways of circumventing physics are very unlikely to yield fruit. The things which are subject to statistical conjecture ("anything can happen") are events. Physics defines the RULES within which these events occur.

Take for example the idea that "you can go into a black hole and come out someplace else" (the old wormhole theory). I heard a physicist say, "Well, supposing something did go into a black hole and come out somewhere eise, there's no reason to believe it would maintain its structural integrity and come out the same thing on the other side. In fact, there's every reason to believe otherwise."

I don't have a CLUE what you are saying here. Can someone else perhaps put this into words someone with an M.A. in philosophy might be brought to understand?

LOL That's a very realistic and funny way of looking at it.

Yes but you are looking at this from what we know. Think of how we came into existance, obviously there are different theories on this. If we can go to the moon (if you believe we did) and believe we can read license plates from space and much more, why wouldn't someone else be able to travel here.

Besides, who is to say that we are the only people in this solar system? Now I am the farthest thing from a Trekkie or anything like that, but I find it hard to believe with so many stupid people on this planet that we are the only people / things in this solar system that are advanced technologically.

We seem to have the most conducive planet to life, and so far our astronomers aren't finding many other situations like ours out there beyond our solar system.

Once again, we come back to the distances involved. Matter stops being matter at the speed of light and is subject to gigantic distortions before then. If beings traveled for hundreds or thousands of years to reach us, what kind of beings would they be that they could go away from their "home" for that long, and what kind of purpose would survive on such a time scale.

Recently on Nightline, there was a cosmologist saying that since we don't seem to find Earth-like planets in any direction, and the places beyond those places are just so incredibly far away, we need to face up to the possibility that perhaps we are alone for all practical purposes, if not in fact.

Once there was a cartoon in the New Yorker which showed a professor in front of a blackboard with an incredibly long string of calculations, and at the end were these words: "And here a miracle happens."

I don't believe in miracles.

Yes but again those are based entirely on "our" theories and what "we" as a planet know about matter and the solar system etc. I look at things as if you don't really know what is out there. Hell there could even be a Loch Ness monster for all I know, just because you havnt seen it, doesn't mean it can't exist.

Do you watch discovery? If so did you see the special called Blue Planet where they ventured deep into the ocean and found creatures that no one on earth knew existed until that show came out? Just because we don't know about another planet / life form, imo does not mean there are not any. But it's good everyone has their own opinion, it's what makes us all unique :)

i had a dream last night that i was chillin with dustin hoffman at his beachhouse, and was talking about what a great director he was.... then i realized i thought he was spielberg and felt like an ass, but was still his friend, helped him wire up cameras in his house and teach him how unsecure his house was and tell him he needed a wall with a moat and stuff.... (true story)

that was after about 4 hours of getting fucked by a shemale though, so my thoughts could have been all fucked up

Yeah I could see how that could make your dreams all screwy.
