  1. I do believe intelligent life exists beyond our solar system. However, I think they'd have better things to do than hang around and buzz Earth. Plus, I gotta say, all the conspiracy theories about how aliens are responsible for our culture and all that (like they built the pyramids) is something I find a little insulting. That's basically saying that humans are NOT capable of coming up with good, unique ideas for themselves. We might have picked up a few things from crashed technology, but I like to give us a little more credit than saying that humans got all our technology and culture from aliens.
    I would find that a lot insulting if someone thought we got our culture from aliens.

  2. Actually reverse engineering is quite real, and is practiced heavily among the superpowers. Its mostly our stuff that gets reversed engineered when it's shot out of the sky.

    You can tear anything apart and figure out how to make one or something very similar to it. You'd be surprised how much real science is used in post 80's sci-fi. They still use a lot of creative licenses, but there is a heavy scientific influence, because these writers actually go and study physics among other things.

    When you put it that way yes. But I was referring to the fact that most people way too paranoid by government & have this weird fixation that we're not the only intelligent life on our planet. Rather than say looking up history about computers they rather say "Aliens did it" as if for some odd reason I should now accept that answer just because they replaced the word "God".

    1. No, because in most cases I don't care.
    2. Weird question... Yes, But hopefully never again... I find Astrology weird and in some case just inaccurate.
    3. No.
    4. No... that sounds like someone really paranoid.
    5. No... Read 4...
    6. No... But I had assumed there was no chance in hell I'd get attacked.
    7. Yes, but I don't think having a crush on someone counts.
    8. Maybe I did... but that's just High School.
    9. No, but IF I did I'd make stupid jokes about the weather.
    10. Yes it could be... But their are too many people trying to screw over even more people.
    11. No, read 4.
    12. Maybe once... I'll go into detail later...
    13. No, but I don't care for anyone I knew in High School.
    14. No. That's just crazy talk.

    19. Yeah... It's called dreaming.
    20. Define "journey"?

    1, 3, 7, 8, 12 EMPATH = anywhere from 1-3.

    2, 10, 16, 18 CHANNELER = anywhere from 1-2

    11, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20 MEDIUM = anywhere from 0-1

    4, 5, 6, 9, 13 SHAMAN = 0

    Overall = 2-6

    OK... now that, that is over Here's the rest of 12... One time I had a dirty thought on a girl I had a crush on... Now usually I think of various girls I knew that I'd only get horny over. But I didn't feel like treating this girl the way I treat the rest. For a moment having dirty thoughts about about only one girl felt like the right thing to do... Until I heard the word "STOP!" in my head from that girl. For a moment I constantly thought of the word "Sorry". This girl started to hate me more after that. And sometime later I heard from a bus driver who heard from the principal that she thinks I'm a rapist. I did have a short talk to the principal about this, but he said that he never said that. So whether or not it happened on most days I just assume it didn't, but just in case I don't get horny over girls I know.


  3. ^_^; Do you remember where you were when the Janet Jackson nip slip happened? LMAO

    OMG! This is as good when a publishing company accidentally crossed Japanese nude massage books with a Barney Pop-Up book. We had to scramble to pull them off shelves. I couldn't help but get curious and pull back the pop-up image and see two naked Japanese people rubbing each other.

    I was probably playing video games or watching something else.

    My stupidity would like to know more on the pop up subject...


  4. The original was made after World War II as the Cold War was starting. The basis of the Movie was than an Alien representative comes to earth because other planets fear humanity's violence and their recent obtainment of atomic power. In this process, the Alien was shot by a scared solider, he recovered in a hospital and healed up mingled with the population and observed how cruel human nature was. Upon leaving he stated that Humans would not be allowed to travel in space unless they get their act together, and if they didn't Earth would be destroyed.

    It was basically a message to fit a time of nuclear crisis back then.

    There is a more detailed description of the plot here.

    Thanks for the thorough detail. I'm now interested in how the new version will deal with the war on terror & what the new version of Gort will look like.

    I didn't even know they were remaking the 1951 classic. If they stay true to the original story (The director claims to be a huge fan of the original), I guess its appropriate for the times we live in.

    I don't think I've seen the original... but how is another 'alien' movie appropriate for our time?
