I found this amusing

One of my other geeky hobbies is an online politics game called NationStates ( www.nationstates.net ) where you are in charge of your own country and you make descisions that affect your 'people.'

 

You do so by choosing a "position" on an issue. The particular issue in question was on UFO's Abducting the National Animal...

 

"Extraterrestrial lifeforms? Alien invaders? I don't know why we even have to listen to such idiocy!" complains prize-winning physicist Stephanie Falopian, "The idea of 'aliens' on another planet is highly unlikely, and even if they did exist, getting from there to here is technically impossible! I say we forget this nonsense and stop spending our tax dollars on it. Leave this sort of foolishness to the people who attend those 'trekkie' conventions."

 

(emphasis mine)

I've found that geeky hobbies have a tendency to blend into one another.

I really liked that...It makes me want to check out that game lol...

 

I saw something not too long ago on TV involving a discussion of Alien Life and what the Goverment may already know...

 

Needless to say...The country, well the world, is split on yes or no when it comes to the question of Extraterrestrial life...atleast life that can Reason as we do...

 

I for one take this approach: "If we're not alone then great...But if we really are the only planet with reasoning creatures that are aware of ourselves...Then that's an awful waste of space." ^_^

I used to be a part of this...I lost time and stopped playing it.

 

But it was a cool game :thumbsup:
