    they would easily never tell you that. when ever life visits earth.

    Aliens are here eh?
    Why the hell would they bother with a backwater world such as this?

    We're the galactic equivalent of some island in the south pacific. Very nice to visit occasionally and we might even consider a holiday home there (if we have the money) but in general we don't really matter in the great scheme of things.

    The day after they arrived Gormley would hit 'em with a carbon tax on account of the effect of their spaceship exhausts on global warming. Biffo would try to pursuade them to join FF and say "yes" to Lisbon. The rest of the government would remain blissfully unaware that anything had happened. A section of the general public would blame the Brits, while the news media would say that it was all a FF dodge to bury bad news about the economy/health service. Tesco would put up signs in their stores saying "Alien spoken here" and would open a alien food section. The rest of the population would simply ignore them until they got completely dispirited and decided to go home.

    I'd want to learn about their history and culture
    most of all. How they developed their tech (similar to our development or not?).

    Isn't there a new TV show remake of V coming out?

    Anyway I'd be hope for a trek-like scenario rather than a stargate-like scenario. It'd suck if the galaxy was a violent mess with conquerors etc.

    i would just get on wife...

    Ah yeah how bad...

    OT, I reckon that there could easily be life elsewhere.. I mean Leitrim c'mon who'd of thought!?

    If there are aliens watching our civilisation progress, they could step in at some point when we become a nuisance/threat to them.

    We are still a very violent species, with ongoing wars worldwide and an uneven distribution of wealth and resources.
    Nowhere near "grown up"/evolved to meet the alien neighbours yet.

    So if there are any aliens overseeing us, it's probably to make sure we stay in our own solar system and not spread like a virus due to poor population control.

    I wouldn't be too sursprised to be honest , anyone who has looked into the universe at all will see that the likelyhood of us being the only intelligent life in it is very unlikely, much more likey that the distance is what has kept anyone from contacting each other, but I believe there is definatly more life forms in other Galaxys...has to be.

    What would be your reaction if you were told by governments leaders we ain't alone in the universe and that we have been visited and studied for many milenium and that our military capabilities are regularly reviewed/assessed and finally that those visitors intentions are unknown.

    This is a genuine question, so just imagine this is real and try to explain what would you do or think.

    No one else suspicious of the OP? My guess is he's sussing out a "human reaction" for the other aliens. Like in that South Park where they test mankind by sending the alien criminal to the planet.

    A far better test would be to post on boards.ie and see how people respond. So far....i dont think we're gonna be invited to the Galactic Confederation lads. :(

    If the Aliens had any sense they would land on earth , hammer a wooden sign into ground with ' not fit for Alien habitation ' and bugger off back home


  • Registered Users Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Indie18


    i wouldn't believe them - even if they did exist out there somewhere, we aint never going there and they aint never coming here

    So you reckon we will be going there and they will be coming here.

    I'd round up everyone who's last name is Kirk and let them deal with it.

    I would try my luck with some of the hot alien babes.

    I don't know mate, up to you. What do you think you would do in your life, straight away. Would you change anything?

    Some are saying Chaos would rise on earth and that societies will collapse.

    Why would this happen? Is their any logic to this? Life would continue as normal for the majority of people not involved directly with the aliens. Military budgets probably would increase thats it.

    I'd ask them why they bothered their arses taking Elvis? He wasn't that good to begin with tbh!


  • Registered Users Posts: 87 ✭✭Enderol


    i think frankie boyle has a perfect response to what should be done if aliens were watching. :D
