Yeah, but you know how smart people can get full of their selves and only think they are the smartest. When we really aren't. So you see. That is why I think that there may be "things" out there smarter than us. But, did I just call myself stupid?

no ones even mentioned the X-files yet as an avid fan I believe in aliens the probability that we are the only planet with beings on it is very low and that we are the smartest c'mon W00t go X-files, except for the ones that dont have Mulder in them. Anyways Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations makes it illegal for US citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles, this was passed in 1969, wierd huh?

The CFR itself, sadly when I tried to look it up in Title 14 (aka Aeronautics and Space) I went down the list, eventualy I reached 1211, and it was gone it went from 1210 to 1212. I first learned about this on a website, and my only guess as to why its no longer in the CFR is that it has been removed. However just try googling Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations and you will get alot of hits

No, but the movie signs didn't help. hmm lets think about this, the aliens are allergic to water. and so where do they go? why earth of course! not only is 75% of it water, but theres tons of it in the atmoshphere and the beings contain water! and so they can go around eating dogs and walking around and being in the presence of human exahaled wastes, but they cannot dare to be touhed by water. yes that makes a buttload of sence. they would have shiveled up as soon as they left their ship. that movie pisses me off anywho, I saw alien snot when I was little, on my cousins back pourch. it was gross

I don't care if it made sense or not, those aliens freaked me out.

Yeah, signs didnt make much sense, and so did that movie War of the Worlds, if an alien was intelligent enough to build all those things you think they would be smart enough to know about diseases.
And I personaly hate just about any film where aliens are trying to kill humans, if they have the technology to come here why would they attack us? A smart race would be much more interested in learning about us rather than killing us.

Maybe they don't care, and they just want our resources, just because they're smart, doesn't mean they're friendly.

Firstly I never said that they would be friendly just more interested in learning about us.
And sure you could be right about the resources thing but I think thats absurd as well, if they have the technology to get here they could go to any other uninhabited planet, Earth is not unique in any of the resources it carries... so the only possible choice would be that they want Earth to live on because of its ability to sustain life, and even that is absurd because they would assume we would use nuclear weapons out of desperation if they attacked which would make the planet useless to them.
And we have the technology to terraform mars, we just don't have the funds nor do we see the need to. If aliens did want a place to live they would more likely use their technology to build a place.

but you can't go around judging aliens based on what we would do, you don't know how they would think.

[Sci-Fi Freak] No im not basing it on what we would do, im basing it on how intelligent spiecies think. What would drive an intelligent spiecies to wipe out another spiecies (and as in many movies for no reason)?
Also im not saying that they wouldnt try to wipe us out, there are always possibilities it just would be too rare and absurd. [/Sci-Fi Freak]

But, since they are more intelligent than us, there could be a reason they have as to destroying us, that we don't yet understand because we aren't intelligent enough.

I cant possibly foresee anything that would be in the realms of logic that would constitute them killing us for some reason that we cant comprehend... There are always alternatives to killing and all intelligent species are curious/inquisitive in nature (according to biologists and other scientists...), if an alien race came here I'm positive that they would be curious about us and would rather not kill us.
Then again I'm the type of guy who wants aliens to share their knowledge with us, which would end all war among humans and unite us as a people. Just think what we could learn. (I also want ghosts or zombies to attack me, because then I would have evidence that they exist (but I'm not saying they do, its just that finding proof of such a thing would be great)).

Another thing, thats assuming that they are all exactly the same, there could still also be both good and evil, where good would indeed want to help us and such, evil would want to kill us for there own selfish reasons.
Oh, and another thing, studying something could be bad, such as testing to see just how far we can push ourselves before we die.
