DrewEckhardt 0 #3 November 3, 2010 Denver IS the "Mile High" city with plenty of "Medical" cannabis to go around. OTOH, it's also close to an airport purported to contain secret government facilities. Maybe some one knows something they're not yet sharing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ridestrong 1 #7 November 3, 2010 There are so many f'n morons out there voting.... if there was a question that asked, "Are you an idiot?" (in ballot like wording) I bet at least 40% of the voters would check 'Yes'. I won't be surprised if the ET proposition passes.*I am not afraid of dying...

billvon 2,426 #9 November 3, 2010 >It's a lot more relevant to say that they are a blue state, and that >makes a lot of the difference there. True. It means they're supporting the red states. Get the red states off the public teat and they'd have all the money they need for their "extraterrestrial commission." Might even drum up some tourism. Hey, it worked for Roswell . . .

The universe is so big that the odds say there must be life out there. I say the proof that they're intelligent is the fact they have'nt contacted us.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

I think it is reasonable to consider that there is other life forms out there, given there is infinite space. But, yes.... I think it is idiotic to fund a commission, pending E.T. coming to Denver.*I am not afraid of dying...

billvon 2,426 #16 November 3, 2010 >I think it is reasonable to consider that there is other life forms out there, >given there is infinite space. So it's reasonable to assume ET will come, just not to Denver? Of all the things we might ever spend money on, this would be at about the bottom of my list, because the odds of needing it during the lifetime of the city of Denver is pretty low compared to things like, say, needing a fire department. But it's not idiotic to consider it, IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #18 November 3, 2010 I'm having a hard time finding intelligenc life on this planet. Why worry about the others?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I think there is actually more evidence of ET's then God. Everything the bible attributes to God, can be explained scientifically.
