That's hardly ironically, but psychologically to be understood.
We feel ourselves as being 'alone in the dark'... and out of the fear it rises: the intense interest, the chimera creating irritating hope, fascinating and repulsive at the same time... the alien magnetism

practical is to consult someone who passed through the whole god realm and stuff having come out realised.
That someone is probably not yet born - the field is simply too complex and enwrought with old imagery and symbolism we don't fully understand any longer; moreover, such an interdisciplinary research would presuppose the ability of the scholar to put aside his own religious (or atheistic) preconception a priori to simulate the ancient authors and artists, to understand their "alien" thoughts. Real roleplaying of unknown historical figures and their works is by far more difficult as it might seem to us who we play virtual roleplaying games after a given concept, a given script...

The modern man as the first who has ever dug out a dinosaur skeleton...
Don't even think about it! Please.
Moreover, there's a clear connection drawn by the ancient Hebrews in Egypt (or under Egyptian dominon) between the sea serpent, the Leviathan and the constellation of Draconis/Dragon (likewise present in the later Kabbalah) - in those days the polar star (Alpha-Draconis), thus all-important pointer for all sorts of land and sea travel and background of worldwide dragon tales, always in connection with bones found in the ground. No bones, no myth.
On the contrary, angels are more difficult to understand. In Hebrew it just means messenger, messenger between people on the ground and god in the heavens, beyond the sky. Now, to bypass the enormous distance one has to imitate the birds in the sky first, the flight, there is no popular alternative... except a later one - the Merkabah (throne chariot/'living creature') mysticism in the Babylonian colored Book of Ezekiel and elsewhere in the Old Testament, juncture to the four-wing female geniuses and mixed beings in the mythology of Assur and Babylon.
In the end you're perhaps familiar with Hebrew and cuneiform... but that's already all. The rest remains what it was before: Arguments from silence, interesting speculations without any practical value of benefit. Sad, but true!

LOL, I don't think you end up in Gitmo for blowing away an armed robber, Surenas! And I don't think Balagor was suggesting a scenario, when he mentioned an armed robber stands at his doorstep, that (a) robber knocks at the door or rings the bell and then (b) Balagor opens door. More likely armed robber has already blown large hole in the door to facilitate forced entry....that's what would kind of alert you to the fact it might be a good idea to arm yourself.
And, as I understand, as a logical extension of the right to bear arms, certain US states have a "castle law" which indeed allows a citizen to shoot burglars dead, without fear of either Gitmo or indeed, Death Row. Sadly, in the UK, even hitting them with your handbag would be likely to land you in court.
Don't play hero in Homer Simpson fashion when somebody has already "blown a large hole in the door" (the rocket launcher mentioned above?) - cos that sounds like soap opera. And you'll indeed end up in Guantanamo if you have a beard, a rocket launcher, a secret canabis lair (peace, brother!) and a shredded neighbor at the doorstep (oops!).
BTW Hippie subculture and private militarism, that's already an oxymoron at its best, for one has to make a strange metamorphosis first, the shift from the former student Jeckyll to the suspect Mr. Hyde :wacko:

The defenders of The panspermia says that the fact of some virus and bacterias could survive low pressure, no air and hight radioactive environment like the space is a prof that microorganism could survive the travel inside a meteor or comet.
they also used the meteorite ALH 84001 as an example of how microorganism of a planet could travel to other.
And i remember a theory that HIV it's an alien Virus brought by a meteor ....
More likely HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, is a (perhaps even artificially created) high mutagenic half-brother of the HEV virus among pigs, the pathogen of the known Encephalomyelitis.
Of course, a lot of things are, at least theoretically possible, but without any evidence these are pure arguments from silence. And as it is with the flight of blowball seeds we'd have to deal with chaos theory.

I do think that the general opinion here in DK is that our law is simply too strict. I concider myself a peacefull man, have even been a hippie 30 years ago. I too wish that if a heavily armed robber stands at my doorstep one day, that I had a better weapon than just saying to him "peace brother"
Sounds almost like a fetish to me... and a crying widow comes into my mind.
Lo - when you've finally realized the guy at you doorstep as "a heavily armed robber" it's, as a rule, already too late to produce your gas pistol. Why? Well that guy would probably have already the unlocked machine gun at the ready before you've opened the door... unaware...
To nullify the robber problem simply by opening the door always with an unlocked rocket launcher in your hands would directly lead you to Guantanamo or somethin, I guess.
Peace, bearded brother :teehee:

Even if the collision effect of dead material is true for the eathly evolution a such, for it always had influenced the parameters for life on earth, like the climate, you seem to imply life in the particles - the directed or undirected panspermia, right? Any proof for the hypothesis?
No, none at all. Like many other hypothesis about life, this earth, this univers, nobody holds any evidence. Only speculations.
Oh - how true!
We call it human nature.

I will say it depends who or rather what we call aliens. This earth as we know it today, has been bombarded with everything from small particles to large meteors, during billions of years. Without all this "stardust", or nutritments, we would not have any evolution of life as we see it to day. So yes, "aliens" have played their role in forming life on Earth, forming us.

On topic: History shows many languages were at a time used as universal mean to communication. Some to specific areas, for instance German among philosophers.
That's a known argument made by Ortega y Gasset in the 2nd decade of the 20th c. CE, but the absolute number of philosophers that had to speak German at a certain time due a professional literature written in German has never ever entered into an equation similar or equal to the one we're are dealing with - if you'd like to understand the Holy Bible in a professional way it is even today still necessary to learn Hebrew and Greek first. Both wonderful examples are beside the point, I think.

Basic l33t is just replacing vowels with numbers and I guess the users of the code that follow a kind of group pressure aren't even aware of that. What I've meant is the linguistic bouillabaisse, to use an euphemism.

There's a decisive difference between closed inner-cultural and networked international interactions. It makes less sense to try to trade with a Chinese supplier from the steppe hinterland in Hebrew - this would end up in helpless gestures. That's why a linguistic consensus sometimes is needed and sometimes it is not. For the moment we have such an international consensus - the English. Though it could be Mandarin in a few generations as well, one has to be distinctly aware of this as a linguistic phenomenon in progress, always dominated by the leading country of a commercial and military circle. Today it is a globalized, worldwide circle and the leading country are the USA - so learn their language not to become segregated from the show. In ancient days it was, on a smaller scale, Latin by the same reasons.
On the other hand we see a virulent degeneration of culture language as such, the ability to speak and to write the mother tongue without a bunch of errors. The international consensus with the internet as catalyst seemingly has a negative influence on culture language - unreadable slang appears that sometimes even hurts the ears, the horror of all teachers and parents, cos they don't understand the young generation anymore, at least not really.
Food for thought.

IMHO, Dungeon Siege and NWN are two very different games. DS felt more like an action game than an rpg.
First of all, GPG's Dungeon Siege was not only an RPG but an MOPRG; we've played it online on Zonematch from 2002 on with up to eight folks plus buyable packmule baggage train (introduced in MP by me), preferably different orientated and equipped chars to play different roles. Tactics was hack & slash, whereby the question who would win was always heavily dependent on the chosen Siegelet and its AI. With the Siegelet Steelsworld and its Bone Warriors we'd reached an AI stage high enough to kill all high-level players that had not yet learned to play in a team. That was utterly real...
DS was a good game, worth a try, whereas its successor DS-II never emerged from behind the shadow of the original. Long time passing.
On the contrary, NWN was something for Mom, Auntie Marie and the rest of the coffee hour cos it had no fire at all.

Use your common sense AA. No aliens. No pc´s in 1970. No internet in 1970. No Nexus in 1970.

Your delightful common sense might perhaps develop a quantum sense of humor, sometimes a very useful mechanism to avoid premature wrinkling :teehee:

This is what we have in the UK, only criminals and whackos have them, it leaves the law abiding defenceless.
Which considerably lowers the chance to get killed in a heroic shootout for the 5 Euros in your pockets, or even more worse - to kill an innocent by night from sheer fear and only then asking "Who's there?"
After having spent my youth in Israel I know already that next to the suicide bomber the fearful one that cries for a gun is probably the most dangerous person on earth when armed, for his latent advance towards overreaction when he feels pressured (and all alone) is an incalculable, thus inacceptable risk for the society. And those who need a gun merely as pill for their virility I have to say, from woman to man: That doesn't work...

You seem to have learned absolutely nothing from the bloody history on European ground, being unaware of the new phenomenon of networked globalization.
Guess we have to let the eternal unwilling people go when it comes to a final decision for a construct all nationalists are afraid of. An exodus is not that new...
-
A United States of Europe will occur, cos you have no (peaceful) alternative at all, neither economically nor strategically. And - I do not see that European culture would differ from each other for more than a yota. Moreover, the German nationalistic facet, to pick up your argument, is as old as the event in the Frankfurt Paul's Cathedral, some 160 years or just five generations. That's not enough to fill an egg cup with special requests from the past, the dark age. You know the past, guess so.

The eternal youth that knows of no change ... until the beards turn grey and the hair gets lost :teehee:
Actually we're not talking about changes, but defined events between the points A and B of an open or closed interval - a move appears. That's time... and those who come to late probably miss the train.

That's is the meaning to MonsterHunterMaster's post, not only by flying in space, it's needed the 'ship' is flying near the light velocity, at relativistic values, BTW.

Gosh - this is known as well as the common faking of the actual possibilities!
And you should already know the required acceleration time, eh?
We're still living in a present scenario and not in a long yearned for hypothesis...

@Surenas.
When did you joined ? It's doesn't show anything (unlike everyone else), that's creepy.
I've joined already before the show, long time passing.
You've got me there! Alien I am :blush:

How to answer unanswerable questions without bottled preconceptions - the hypothesis, born out of fantasy, grown up as scenario by milky faith, sold as 'truth'?
Whoever wins such discourse, certainly by means of a better developed rhetoric, logic and mind will lose, cos in the end we just know that we actually know nothing.
Let us thus always start with "Let's say, just hypothetically, that..." or alike.

You have the backbone to grasp the mantle, right?
Cool - cos I need a name when I have to wobble across the steppe with a war club in my hands... :tongue:

...which would directly lead to the above mentioned club-aided clan wars :thumbsup:
Guess we'll have only one choice in the run-up to the 60s: Blue or Red Pill ?
