Is earth defenceless?

nnnnnnoooooooooo , i will bite them and i will flee

The French tactics!  

erm .......

we don't bite .....

Lol, well just think, as a pet they'll get you all sorts of presents, like newest versions of OFP and VR gear to keep you happy. But maybe they will have to neuter you so you don't hump them. Hehhe

1: to defend against alien invasion, Get the best (or all) snipers and equipe them with M82, then aliens won't be oo happy, or chemical warfare

Bah , if outer space aliens attack and invade earth , it will not be a problem.

Outer space aliens cant read human books (because for their highly advanced mind , those book are too boring and primitive) .

They will destroy every human armies easily , but they will finally all die while invading because of earth bacteria and virus.

All of this is described in the book The War of the Worlds from Herbert Georges Wells , there is no need to worry people.

But if they do not like Earth beeing like now, and before they would try to "rebuild" it bombing with meteors? ;)

Has anyone seen Gene Rodenberry's Tv serials or that program Earth 2 those are pretty interesting too.

If aliens attack why dont we just send in AQ and gang there tell them that the aliens are a bunch of secularist's and voila instant suicide bombings on the mothership , also tell KKK that they are black ... *Boom*

I hope you are not serious  

As I said before I think they would be able to kill us all before we knew they were coming. The weapons they would use would probably not be some laser cannons, nukes or planetbusters. They would probably use a virus that would kill all humans and humans only. I remember hearing on TV about the cure for cancer. They said that if they would be able to make a virus that only is activated when it senses cancer then it could kill the cancer. They also said that with this technology you could make deadly viruses that only attack specific races and only kill white people or black people or whatever. There are people researching on this. Hopefully the technology doesnt come into the wrong hands once we have it or we will all be sleeping with gasmasks.

I am not 100% sure about everything I said I heard about on TV but thats how I remember it.

When you think about a race that can travel to earth you really shouldnt assume they are just way ahead of us in space travel technology and use the same weapons as us.

I think its most likely that if they know how to get here they wont have weapons. In the time it takes to get so far in technology I think they would get further in understanding how indeviduals within theire race works and dont have jails and alot of criminals. If they managed to get here they wouldnt need weapons to defend themselves because they could probably already be here without us knowing it and there is no way we could be a threat.

I must say that I dont belive in all these UFO crashes and governments hiding them. I cant understand how they could crash if they could get this far. Its not like they are testing new prototypes here or something?  

-Edit

Its very possible that they use could use way better weapons than that virus but thats the best I can think about without getting to crazy

You've got it all wrong- someone like me is going to sell the rest of you down the river in exchange for becoming a privileged lackey of our new hyper-intelligent alien masters

Nah, "not gonna happen". Through evolution violent and dumb types like that would not make it to earth, from wherever they had to come. That was InqWipers post before. They would first have to erradicate that gene in their own people before achieving the technology and drive to travel that far...

I submit that this is not necessarily true. Relatively few of mankinds major technological leaps have orginated from fields other than the one that revolves around the maintenance, development, and employment of nasty things that kill people.

A few nukes will fix anything.

Right, but what military cause would require a method to travel that far out into space, and at the same time support human life on it.

It kind of "stops here", you do not perform the specific research/experiments pertaining to inter planetary travel when building better weapons these days. Although you never know I guess, maybe a new propusion system might again be developed due to the need for a more advanced weapon...

What I'm getting at is: the final steps to that kind of travel will likely require a heavy effort in good controlled conditions, and the right brains to get to that point. War will jsut set that kind of progress back or on hold.

Not if it is the Covenant!

Dear god, we need Master Chief NOW!

The aliens will come to steal our oil! It's the oil guys! It's ALL about the oil!

They'll probably rub it on their bodies and go to a beach

You're all assuming the aliens will be carbon-based life forms! In which case a Barrett/nuke/flamethrower might be useful ... but if they're all energy-based beings with no corporeal form, we're in a world of trouble.

It's probably worth establishing the existence of aliens (intelligent ones, at least) before we worry about whether we're defenceless or not. Chances are that humans are by far the greatest threat to their own existence than anything else...

i must say that in a last extremity , there is always Superman to defend earth.

EDit : and Batman can use his batmobile too

[drewb99 0]

For all we know the aliens could be walking talking superinteligent shooting range targets, who are just misunderstood.

I think so.

Doesnt seem completely unlikely

Yep, and I am also assuming they would be quite similar to us. Life is no freakin coincidence, and neither is it's form. You have to understand that physics(and chemistry) is the same everywhere, well the 'laws' are. Life has to follow a certain evolutionary process, which leads to very similar end results. Basic idea is, whoever we will have contact with will be highly intelligent, such as us (some ). In order for intelligence to pick up in the evolutionary cycle certain things have to happen, such as free and dexterous limbs and the need to think for survival.

To make a short story shorter, expect a very similar evolutionary product which can travel this kind of distance. otherwise we are talking about life we may not quite comprehend, like the entire universe being a living organism composed of solar systems and so on.

Life in the universe is like a time when dice roll on the same side for you, but for a long time. It's not likely, but will happen, and in a very similar manner when it does. Ok I think I've said enough for one day.

To continue the dice roll analogy, I'd say that the human race definitely qualifies as snake-eyes.

Aliens or not, we'll end up fighting over space. So, i'd suggest we start making spaceflight simpler for starters.

Worried about defence? Not me. Rest assured that someone has Earth's safety covered.
