Probably flavorless and rather slimy.

I would prefer that Republicans were uniquely tasty and crunchy to aliens. After all, they are alien. We should not impose on our putative alien friends a specific taste in food. One can only hope that it would be people like Republicans and not us Democrats.

Maybe us Democrats are preemptively evolving to be untasty to them. (I know that isn't how evolution works, but this whole post is silly anyway -- just having fun here).

Hence, my post.

Doesn't it make sense if you have the technology travel from planets from other solar systems or galaxies, if your intent is to conquer Earth there is little we can do to stop them?

IF aliens do exist and they can visit us, I do not think their intent would be invasion. I think Obama would extend a hand of welcome.

Romney would launch a nuclear weapon.

about a billion years ahead of earth in development. Aliens like that could/would do as they damn well please and we most likely could not even comprehend them.

Yes, Romney would launch a nuclear weapon if they could even be detected.

Frankly, I doubt many would even want to visit earth, except to possibly give earth an ultimatum to join some type of universe organization before we blow ourselves apart.

Many (I think) think of aliens as benign beings (too much ET), many might not even give a F about earth. We overrate ourselves IMO.

My feeling is aliens have already been here and probably are here now, but I don't think we can even comprehend much less understand their presence.

The visit was to stop us taking our aggressive behavior off our planet. Klaatu was shot the minute he stepped on Earth, but they had the ability to destroy us if they wished, but they didn't.

What I find odd is we feel it would be wrong for an alien to invade and take over out planet, but when we do this to another country it is fine.

black and white, I thought it was extremely well done.

It is quite odd, I've always found it that way, that we always think of ourselves as good guys as we invade other countries, often for MIC profits, but yet can't understand that aliens might well do the same to us.

I think Stephen Hawking is right on target when he says we should be careful about contacting aliens. We have absolutely no idea, probably, what we are dealing with. I think it's utter nonsense to think all superior alien intelligence is benign and somehow going to be super good guys to earthlings. Stephen Hawking is an extremely bright guy, I would take his opinion way over others.

Yep, I think Romney would F it all up royally.

on the Anniversary Edition it is well worth the time. It talks of some of the political situation which is behind the movies message.

if the aliens would work for less than minimum wage before doing anything rash.

Romney would find out what Obama would do and then do the opposite, then when it failed blame Obama.

Obama would be better suited, I think.

with them. He might actually find a form of life with which he can finally relate. If they communicate by smacking their oily lips, he'd even be able to understand their language.

The 2nd Mass. will kick their ass.

Honestly, it's just not fair.

But, in Romney's case, the aliens would just think he's from that planet that no one talks about. Kind of like the weird uncle who had that "accident" back in the 80's and blew out his personality.

Why won't he tell us his plan to deal with it? Does he expect them to self-deport? Has he accepted campaign contributions from alien corporations? (bouncing alien!)

Americans trust Romney's skills if we are invaded by dancing horses.

He already has a plan to make them self-deport.
