And you are 6 years late to the thread, fumbduck.

But that’s not what is assumed. What is assumed is that at least one or some intelligent ET species should have the curiosity/values/desire for technological progress. It’s much more like saying “Well Americans like it, so some Chinese will too” - a very reasonable assumption.

Everyone is a weirdo (or whatever the hell you want them to be), if you judge them by what you made up yourself.

Soooo... Did you like it?

More impressive than your comment, that much is evident.

The U.S. operates 900+ military bases around the globe, drone wars, never ending wars, regime changes, assassination programs, etc., but Russia is the “global asshole”? How droll.

Keep on trolling buddy, I’m out.

And here’s hoping your mom is alive and fabulous, and never stumbles over the mean-spirited, idiotic and vulgar drivel you post.

Only a totally deranged person would insult others in such a mean, personal manner - over disagreements about comic book characters.

Thanks for your elaborate response. I agree with some points you make, but not one of them changes the fact that we have exactly zero knowledge of whether life is a unique occurrence here on earth, or whether it is abundant throughout the universe - and the same goes for intelligent life, however you define it.

You seriously trying to resurrect the myth of the “moderate rebels”? There are non. There is IS, Al Nusra, Khorasan, Army of Conquest, Ansar al-Sharia, Fatah al-Islam, and dozens of other radical jihadists and foreign mercenaries, and that’s it.

And what the hell is Russia doing!? They are doing the exact same thing as the Turkey and Gulf Arabs, except for the opposite side.

This must be the most ridiculous collection of Fox news idiocies that I’ve read in a comment for the whole of December.

The bulk of the killing since WWII is done by the U.S., religious leaders didn’t play a significant role there.

Your comment suggests that you ran out of substantial arguments and therefore resort to ad hominems.

Show me a link to those “news in Russia” that you are talking about, please.

But the odds that there IS life out there are nearly 100% and the odds that there is Intelligent life out there is just a few orders of magnitude removed from that - which is like saying the difference between 99.999% and 99.999999999999%.

So?

Again, of course species can die out quickly, but not all of them will.
