Sadly we would nuke them first. Sadly, they would have far superior weaponary.  Sadly, we started it. So I guess we deserve it. |

What do you think would happen if a more advanced alien race came across Earth? I personally think they would either attack us or leave us alone. Although they would gain nothing from attacking us (except for living space), it is possible. Leaving us alone is probably what they would do or have done as we are a backward species not worthy of their attention. Lol world war 3... Well in the sense the world is at war but with an alien force.... kinda like Ender's Game |

They might be carrying diseases to which humans have no immunity. Or they might look down on us like we look down at ants. Either way, if they are going to discover us it's very likely they're more advanced and more evolved... which will probably turn out pretty badly for us. Unless they do actually care about us and take safety measures to make sure we'll be alright. |

Obviously not. I never doubted that. But the real question is: What else is out there? And more importantly: Where are they? |

Making contact with a civilization pretty much equal in technology could be beneficial. And it is possible since there are earth like planets very close by.

Well... who knows if they're really that much smarter than us... maybe they're just a few hundred years back, technologically wise. And it's a huge universe, so it takes a long time to get anywhere. Look at our technology 100 years ago. A lot can change in 100 years. But 100 years is nothing to the universe. It's very likely live came into existence somewhere else, millions of years before it happened here. Imagine what our technology would look like in a few millions years, if humans would still be around at the time... I'm sure we could travel to other (possibly) inhabited planets. |

What are your thoughts on automatic cars that drive themselves, leaving humans not having to drive at all? This is something that scientists are thinking will be possible by 2020 (like 40% of cars will be like this). Do you think this is a good idea, or do you feel accidents could still happen, this takes away freedom from humans, etc?

I wouldn't trust it because malfunctions could occur and it just seems to complicated. I also have one word to describe this: LAZINESS. I mean what is this world coming to...machines are taking over our lives. I think instead of wasting money on making cars like that, they should invest the money for efficiently producing more fuel efficient cars. They should find ways to make hydrogen, electric, and vegetable oil-ran cars more affordable for everyone. |

There is never any proof of their existence. All these people are stupid enough to listen to people like Chasing Bigfoot. If the government suspected them to really exist they would have surely discovered them by now. |

To think that there would be a reptilian that big that, and the only of it's kind. Also, reptiles are cold-blooded. They wouldn't be able to live in Scotland due to the cold winters. With all of our advanced technology like sonar, we would have been able to find something that big. |
