Is this possible?

[magooch]

In our entire solar system, I think most people would pick the Earth as being the best planet to live on.  On the planet Earth, I think the United States of America would probably be the number one pick of countries to live in.  So how is it possible that this top of the line place is led by the dumbest, most corrupt bunch of idiots in the Universe?

[ironglow]

  Perhaps because at this time in history, the devil is being allowed to gain some unbelieving souls to himself..

[DDZ]

If we have the dumbest, most corrupt bunch of idiots in the universe leading us. I have to wonder about everyone else that chose the dumbest, most corrupt idiots to lead us.

You know, I think he is a contender, but every time I think we have reached the pinnacle of stupidity, we get someone that takes it as a challenge.  And the universe is a big place, I am sure there is some stupid alien out there looking at what is going on here and thinks; you know what, we need to try some of that socialist crap here.

Evil people are not stupid. Corrupt?, yes. Dumb? Not If we are talking about this current Adm. They know what they are doing, and at this point in time, it's working. They are good at dangling the carrot in front of those who will follow. About half the population of the world is made up of Sheep. The other half Wolves. They are working on the Sheep (Sheeple).

[phalanx]

I’m sure if they exist and are checking us out they have already overcame our brand of stupidity. If they ever had it at all.

One highly thoughtful common tater I heard on the radio suggested that there are very few if any galaxies that have solar systems in the universe that have planets that could support intelligent life.  Considering all the specifics necessary for any life at all to exist on a planet, one should feel lucky beyond imaginable extreme to exist at all and for that existence to be on this planet Earth.  We are all the chosen ones.  Make good use of it, or at the very least, don't screw it up.

I don't follow their reasoning, there are more solar systems than they can accurately count, let alone figure out if there is another planet that can support life.  We have found life, simple, but life, in the most unhospitable of places here on earth, where we once said there was none, and it was impossible for there to be any, yet they still hold these views.  Human kind has been so self centered, once believing we were at the center of the universe, and now believe we are the only ones...not likely. 

[magooch]

My own belief is that we will never know for sure if there is any intelligent life anywhere in the universe.  If there is, there will never be any contact, because by the time any evidence of it could reach us here on Earth either the origin of the other life would long have been eliminated by the natural course of universal happenings, or the Earth also will probably be gone along with the rest of our solar system. 

I think we should try to keep from wrecking the only place we will ever have (Earth).   Step number one is to defeat Dumbocrats.

add to that the almost impossible odds that humans developed then your great grandparents had a kid then they had a kid then your parents just happened to have sex on the exact day you were created. If it was one day before or after it might have been a girl or some other egg would have been fertilized. If your great great grandmother had married someone else you wouldnt be here. The odds of us being here are astronomical. Its kind of why i find it hard not to believe in God.

As far as these "other galaxies" that no need has one has ever actually seen, or been to, I say BS.

As far as "intelligent life" on other planets, I'd say "intelligent life" on earth seems to be getting plenty scarce, as we collectivelly, and continually repeat the same ole mistakes over, and over for the last 7,000 years or so.

[Bob Riebe]

It is the nature of man, period.

Adam live in paradise but let a woman make him a fool and he then tries to blame God and the woman for his stupidity.

You don't think there are other galaxies??

Very good Lloyd. That’s dealing with a Time paradox, they are very interesting. Read about them all the time.
Imagine trying to tell your young Dad not to do something, or you wouldn't exist. But that’s getting into Time travel.
Imagine if you could only go back for one minute what would you do?
Change an event or something you did. That alone could cause a Paradox . Best you dont go to far back.Or say anything.

Andromeda shows up very well in our stronger telescopes.

[moamonkey]

I’m sure we’re getting visitors, but I think they’re smart enough to not want to get involved. Too much crap to clean wade through.

JMHO-  the people of the earth can't
handle their own affairs, not to even
think about other planets.
I think many are afraid to acknowledge
the existence of God, and that He has
the ability to send each of us to eternal
damnation. That's why so many turn to
worshipping rocks and statues and
try to live outside of the established
norm for civilized society.
There's an unlimited number of places
to explore right here on earth that
nobody knows the first thing about,
so I've never seen the need to spend
the billions for space exploration

[ironglow]

Frankly, with other problems fcaing us.. Bad economy, lowered status of the U.S., Fascism, tyranny, inflation, autocratic leaders, rising crime ..and non-existent borders,..putting men on Mars rates low on my list.

It kinda sounds like thats what I said. 

NOBODY, has ever been to one, and looking through telescopes doesn't provide anything in the way of proof for me.

Bottom line, I just don't care. Folks claiming they know, can't reliably get a rocket off the ground, or back for that matter.

If galaxies don't exist then what are they? What are we and our deep space Probes, like Voyager 1&2  looking at? Or were looking at all we get is data from them now
