By weight, numbers, and longevity, I believe it's bacteria that are dominating the planet. Humanity is thus far a "flash in the pan", a "one-hit wonder".
Chatha you make good points, but still, Humanity as a species is clean and pure. Sure, there are idiots but no doubt, what will become of us in 4 billion years?
Well, no truely documented cases of encounters with aliens, however consider the possiblity that we could easily be seen as not even worth talking to...
I doubt it. I believe that any ''aliens'' would jump at the opportunity to make contact with Humans. There's no doubt, any alien civilization would be ecstatic to meet Humanity.
Maybe you could share your drugs along with your wisdom, so we can understand what the fuk you are talking about.
Norsefire: I wonder what you'd think if you were a fish. That's very Nazi of you. (Oops... http://www.sciforums.com/encyclopedia/Godwin's_law .) Chances are, if we ever meet an alien species, their techology will be like magic to us. I'd love to see you tell them that you're the master race, if it ever happens. ... that you know of. It's better than that. Hundreds of different gods have all chosen to reveal themselves to humanity. We must be really really special! That should not be necessary. The universe is probably big enough for peaceful coexistence. If we last that long. You should read something other than nursery stories. Try newspapers, perhaps. And you have special knowledge of that, of course. Well done.
Yes, I dont like people hating on Humanity and all the shit we do. You should be proud of being a Human. If I were a fish, I would not have the necessary intelligence to even know what I was let alone a Human being. James R, you lose!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And what will happen if I told them to serve us or else? Oh yes, there are the bad, and there are the good.
Why? How do you know? Oh. Ok then. The aliens? They'd probably either laugh at you, or pull out their Mega-kill laser guns and shoot you, depending on their general disposition.
If I was an intelligent dolphin with consciousness...what would he/she say than? And traveling back in time, would Neanderthals truly agree with him/her?
Or their anal probes... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Git th' frig outta my tuna net, Flipper !!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Because Humanity is so blessed. No species on Earth can match us, and I'm sure, regardless of technology, no species of the universe can either. Fish? Well, as far as I know fish lack the intelligence to remember up to three seconds in the past Hey, you made yourself lose by posting something about Nazis!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! OR they would immediately get on their knees and serve Humanity, right?
Wrong answer... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_yorkshire/3189941.stm Yeah... With some fava beans, and a nice Chianti ! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
if to be humane is to show humanity, and to be human is to be erroneous, then bureacracy - being designed to eliminate error - can therefore be called inhumane.
This whole thread misses the point: the affected, self-congratulatory vanity of little modern man prompting the big idea of humanity to lift up his train. Tedious or obnoxious?
