The universe has been around for a very long time. Unimaginable, even. If there were older civilizations they would be far advanced from where we are but so far we have had no contact. That suggests the universe is empty of life except for what we have on earth. Life may well be a very rare event requiring special circumstances. Intelligent life would be rarer yet. So, just because the number of possible earth like planets out there might be billions doesn't mean that life is abundant. We don't know. Suppose a civilization like ours evolved somewhere else a billion years ago. Wouldn't they have been able to go to other places in the universe? Well, this is something we don't know. I find the lack of any kind of signals out there a worry. Looks empty and uninhabited. That is what we have to assume until we discover other intelligence.

If we look back at history then the best scientists at the beginning of each century for the last few would not have been able to predict all the discoveries that century. No one predicted the internet or personal computers that I know of. Technology is advancing rapidly. I envy the young guys today because it is going to get exciting in the future. What we don't know is what will happen to man himself. It won't be long before genetic changes will be made by man and virtual supermen created. That would be great to live in those times. Perhaps they will be able to live indefinitely? We really have an exciting future ahead but most of us won't be around to enjoy it.

you are a clueless kid ... what you call "aliens" are the very people that shaped every fucking detail of your so called life and still do

aliens who can travel thru space dont breed anymore since a loooong time, they have reverse engeenered their genes a long time ago. They produce themselves at will  and are all "perfect" and somehow immortal.
If we go by what the alleged greys look like, then they have very little genetic diversity. They appear insectoid like. As we know, advance being like ourselves need generic diversity to survive diseases and environments. Now, if we go by those "alleged" abductee accounts, they say that these aliens are using our DNA to create hybrids, because they lack genetic diversity and that they are dying out. That's if you go by their accounts...and many of these abductees have stated that genetic materials and sperm have been taken, and the women claim to be impregnated...

Who knows this could be a bunch of freaky people's wetdreams...

it would be fun to find out all of the answers to these questions..


to those interested in the concept of the universe, i suggest eating a large quantity of mushrooms at night time when there is a clear sky and lots of visible stars  :)  and preferably not within in a city

I have stumbled across some shocking writings which indicate The Bloods Gang originated in another solar system.

Is Jewhit Juruth?

I would be most interested in seeing what Debussey looked like (PIP & no homo)

yes jewhit is juruth

the fact that he picked up on the branch warren threads where they left off, and only talks of branch, aliens, and repressed homosexuality shoudl have gave it away

This is the most ignorant post built entirely on assumptions I have ever read....

In philosophy we learn that just because you believe something that doesn't make it true. Statements about matters of fact require evidence. In the absence of evidence what is the rational thing to believe? There are no assumptions regarding whether life exists elsewhere in the universe. Going by what we know about life we would expect to find life elsewhere, even intelligent life. However, the fact that there is no hard evidence of any past visits to earth we remain sceptical of any such visits. The universe is vast and travelling between the stars is not something anyone would do unless they had a very good reason to do so. If you had the technology you would send remote controlled vehicles and robots. The time and distances involved are staggering. I am afraid too many here read science fiction or watch ridiculous movies.

If you try to deduce the likelihood of life from the possible number of earthlike planets you end up with an high probability. Therefore, it is not foolish to expect life to exist elsewhere. At the moment, there is no evidence at all. Just because the probability is high doesnt make it true. One of the precious substances we all take for granted is water. It exists no where else in our solar system that we have detected. I find that amazing. Yes, it may exist beneath the ice on some moons around the giant planets but so far it hasn't been detected. At best there might be some ice on the moon and Mars and perhaps some of those remote moons. However, there are no conditions on any of the planets or moons that might support life. When you realize that you become sceptical about life existing elsewhere. I won't be surprised if life is discovered in other parts of our galaxy but it will take some time for that to happen. We keep open the possibility of being visited by extra-terrestrials but so far no one has visited the earth and left anything behind. Had we any evidence of such visits it would be the biggest news of all time and impossible to keep secret. That doesn't stop all manner of people from believing whatever they like about such matters. Just because millions believe something doesn't make it true.

So basically VinceB thinks there are other civilizations but that thught holds no value without evidence. sounds reasonable

Prince Naseem was a bad mother-(shut yo' mouf')
What happened to him?
He really embarrassed those guys.

On 2 May 2005 Hamed was involved in a 90-mph three-car collision at Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, while driving his £300,000 silver McLaren-Mercedes SLR. He was arrested on 3 May, released on bail and later charged at Sheffield Magistrates Court on 3 December[5].

On 31 March 2006 Hamed entered a plea of guilty and was warned he could face jail by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court[6]. The Recorder of Sheffield, Judge Alan Goldsack, adjourned the case until 12 May to allow pre-sentence reports to be prepared. The court heard how the man in the car Hamed hit, later revealed as 38-year-old Anthony Burgin, who had attended a number of previous hearings, was unable to come to court because he was in hospital for further treatment. His wife Clare was also injured.

On 12 May the court heard in a sentencing hearing how Hamed had been anxious to impress businessman Asif Goro, who was a passenger in the McLaren-Mercedes at the time of the crash. Hamed was showing what his car could do when he crossed a solid white line at a speed of at least 90 mph and crashed head-on into a Volkswagen Golf that emerged from a dip in the road. Hamed's car then hit a second vehicle, the Ford Mondeo he had been trying to overtake. Mr. Burgin, the driver of the Volkswagen Golf, was very seriously injured, breaking every major bone in his body and suffering bruising to the brain[1]. Hamed escaped unhurt.

Hamed was sentenced for 15 months after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing. He was also given a four-year driving ban. Judge Alan Goldsack told Hamed: "I find it astonishing that the DVLA has not been prepared to co-operate with the prosecution to give them details of your earlier offences - apparently on human rights grounds." The DVLA's decision led to Hamed being sentenced without the judge being told he had previously been banned for a year for driving a Porsche at 110mph on the M1 in Derbyshire. It was also revealed that Hamed had three other previous convictions for speeding offences, details of which the prosecution had to find from court records.

Hamed was granted an early release and left prison on 4 September 2006 after serving 16 weeks of the 15 month sentence. Hamed was placed under Home Detention Curfew for the remainder of his sentence, and monitored by an electronic tag. Anthony Burgin, the driver whom Hamed collided with, said: "I am shocked that after such a serious accident Mr Hamed has been released after less than four months." Nevertheless, the appointment of Hamed to be a "Member of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (otherwise known as an MBE) was annulled as a consequence of the conviction.[2]

There was also a civil court case rumoured to cost Hamed up to £1 million plus legal costs, as Burgin was deemed unable ever to work again.[7]

Burgin was later arrested and charged with dangerous driving for an incident alleged to have involved Eleasha Hamed (the wife of Naseem) on 19 April 2007. Burgin pleaded not guilty, and appeared in court on 17 March 2008,[8] following which he was cleared of charges.[9]
