We've found it. it's called earth ;)

But yeah, finding e.t. life would be something i'd really be interested in. The life we find may just be as simple as prokaryotes or far more complex than us humans.

awsome, will kinda suck for the first people that arrive though, no internet, no walmart, no variety of girls :P

Yea, I noticed too.. 3 of his 4 posts in this thread are pretty mean.. the dudes needs to start / stop drinking

But he gets points for quoting our president :D (who studied economy, not the Earth.. but he has a point about the politics of it)

C'mon. I see b.s. like "Water=life" and I call people on it. If the situation gets esclated, I can't just back down.

Naivety like "wouldn't it be nice to have no tanks" does not help anyone. Someone is going to have to have tanks and take control of other people. If you don't want to be taken advantage of, you have to defend yourself. It's really very simple. It won't ever be like in star trek with the federation and everyone being a happy little earth utopia.

"mean" is different than 'brutally honest.'

This is why I stay out of speak freely.

America spends more money on defense than all the other nations in the world combined. There is middle ground between being able to defend your country and building a war machine :confused: Now i'll get outta here before i'm called a hippie/liberal/communist or whatever buzz word Bill O'Reilly is using these days. :usa:

But you will be back in time for some K10 benches

What really does interest me though is why scientists keep saying water=life. Sure it's the basis for life on earth but why is it impossible that "life" could exist without water?

Even the word "Alien" implies something that we have never experienced before. Well if you take extra terrestrials whose basis of life is water as well it wouldn't be that alien now would it considering we have experienced water and water based life forms before:p:
