i was just thinking about extra terrestrial life when i was reading an article about bacteria surviving on methane, and i thought to myself what if aliens from a methane breathing planet came to earth with hostile intentions and we fought back and since methane is highly flammable we totally routed them blowing all of them in their methane suits and their spaceships up in giant balls of methane fire. Would we feel guilt as a planet for destroying the first intelligent life that was different from our own to visit us? i mean ithink i would be devastated about the whole thing, first that the methane breathing zorkons wanted to take over our planet but also at our brutal response and the horror of human ingenuity when we discovered their fragile secret exposed to our environment.

Pardon my French, but:

Fuck the Zorkons!

*Edit* Also, who's to say that they wouldn't have greater attack and defense cababilities than we do? Maybe they have heat resistant shielding or something.

A guy named Wells once had a similar idea for a great SF story. On the other hand, you should probably factor in what would happen if they invaded a libertarian society that lacked the sophisticated technology to blow them up "in their methane suits and their spaceships in giant balls of methane fire." :)

Interesting thought. If we are threatened, we have to respond. Hopefully can capture several of the methane breathing aliens for further research.

I often think about our universe as a whole. The way it is shaped..all the planet rotating around the sun. Much as a atom...with the electrons rotating around the nucleus.

Which brings my question. What is our universe was just one atom in a speck of dust on a poor, drunk homeless person begging in front of a shopping mall?

Well, wouldn't you think that if they're capable of travelling all the way out here, they would have covered the fact that they're highly prone to explosions?

:p libertarians believe in and would have technology too.


but now we have the makings of a story, i can write about my idealistic libertarian society and bring in the elements of surprise with an alien invasion and rout and develop the social ccommentary and ramifications. If only i had time to write :)

It'd be evolution on a galactic scale. We would be simply culling the stupid, sentient race in order for the rest of the successful life forms to propagate. I think it's fair. :p

Yeah, did I just read that too...LOL, naa...just playing...

You see my friend, the Zorkons started the fight so we had to react to their violent intentions. Why would we feel bad about defending ourselves? Dang Zorkons...who knows if the Lockmorks were just waiting on the Zorkons to attack to see what we would do, meanwhile they are preparing to attack us also....

LOL, this is going to be a funny thread.

Note: I have been seeing alot of UFO, alien, crop circle shows lately....is this Zorkon prapaganda????

Well, even if they breathe methane, I doubt it would be 100% pure methane like we don't have 100% oxygen atmosphere. If we were, everything would burn easily too.

But am I the only one that think it'll be cool to capture one if they try to invade us and punish it by making it breath our farts?

If methane needs oxygen to burn and they have no oxygen on there home planet, they might not know how flammable the combination is. What a surprise.

Fortunately, it's fiction. Few, if any, serious libertarians would maintain that such a society would stand much of a chance against a large nation's "earth army," much less an organized invasion force from outer space. But as long as you're attracted to fantasies, anyway, go for it. :)

He is homeless - he doesn't shower.

(and he stays away from rivers with crocodiles - regardless if they are at a meeting or not)

haha, yes but what if he suddenly strikes it rich? Or, if it's really hot and he doesn't have a lot of clothes on and it rains...and we just happen to be on his bare arm...then we get washed away into a sewer and wait for the crocodiles to come back.

OK, who is with me...

You get stories all the time about aliens, big foot, etc and everyone is SO scared of them that they freeze and end up taking bad video's or pictures. I'm so tired of the debate if it's true or not that I think while I would freak out...I would run it over (with my wifes car of course) or nail it with a good punch (the alien of course...bigfoot would take a log) and drag it to a TV station just to end the debate.

Now...the problem is...I could have a war (for the aliens) on my head, but is it worth it???

LOL

I heard there is this lady up in some mountains that talks to Big Foot's(they come to her to ask her for medicine & garlic for some reason)...I say one of us stays with her for a week and request a one on one talk with a big foot...lol

I watched a show on crop circles last night. It was about 50 minutes longer than it needed to be at 60 minutes long. It didn't prove anything except that there are people out there who can make them, and quite complex ones. But the people they interviewed didn't do them all, so they assumed that aliens could be doing the other ones instead of another group of people.

Nope, but we have this that would help us.

I saw some show on that a bunch of years ago, it was something like 60 min or Nightline or something and it had the absolutely the most unscientific test on it, ever. They used the grains from the crops crushed in the crop circles and regular grains to make bread and gave them to some UFO believers to "taste test" and get this, they tell them which one is from what grain, so obviously they're going to say one is going to taste different. :rolleyes:

any aliens that make it here probably have the capability for WMD... at a bare minimum if they can produce spaceworthy ships, get out of their gravity well, and make it to our solar system all they would have to do is park over by the asteroid belt and start hurling rocks at us. So basically if they make it here and decide to shoot first for whatever reason, then its basically a matter of whether earthlings see and react fast enough.

Plus, oxygen is pretty flammable too... its just mixed in with larger portions of nitrogen... and so what if these methane-breathing aliens also breathe in a majority of inert gas. Then we're basically equal.

They kinda did that on Invasion America, except they launched rocks from a base on the farside of the moon. I think we need to work on developing the Space Defense system to erradicate any incoming asteroids. :p

The bad news is...we really don't have much defense against these Zork's....we can only shoot up some Nukes and hope for the best.

We need a delegation to go find big foot, the snow man, the lockness monster, leprechauns, the smerfs, and all creatures of unknown origin to make sure they are with us. Who knows...if we could not find them maybe they will be a legend for the aliens also...lol
