An Overfiend declaration. Vatican says aliens could exist. [autoplay]
Primo:
I am a believer in alien life. They have been interacting with our society for longer than you think.

great job stating the blatantly obvious POSSIBILITY that there COULD be life somewhere else besides this small ass planet. I have no idea why this is even being made into a news story.

Unfortunately there are people out there that aren't able to draw that conclusion for themselves. If they hear the church declare it, all the sudden it legitimizes the possibility in their mind. Sad but true.

Overfiend, I've seen you use the "goyim" reference a couple times. When I looked it up, it says that it is a disparaging term labeling non-Jews. So I'm not clear w/ what context you are using that term.

HAhaaaaa........i was making fun of a facet of the human condition, we pay no heed to things when we do not understand them.
Its actually quite a confronting question when someone askes you what you think of the word goyim, we give racist slurs more power when we use them seriously, but the word itself is appropriate for satire and humour, isn't it? When we laugh about things, that have happened to us or fill us with fear and hatred we understand it more and don't fear it as much anymore or hate anymore...its all about breaking the cycle.
People have to be able to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously. Our world, at large, our human political and social matrix we take too seriously when we all are infact, 1 people, an amazing diverse mix of extrinsically rich individuals on a precious Earth.
Alos alot of these conspiracy theories are pretty depressing so i make satire of them. If Bush can be satired, why can't conspiracy theories there will always be conspiracy theories as long as there are politicians and leaders. For the health of democracy. And sometimes political satire can be ironic.
'goyim', i guess for me is a concept; 'the great unwashed masses', the 'dumb, deaf and blind', we all have a little goyim in all of us, a little ignorance, anger, hatred, hedonism, self-ishness, etc (even jews)...so for me its a broader concept than the one associated with the derogatory hebrew definition.
