jlf1961 -> Questions I want answers to (10/11/2013 5:45:12 AM)
Getting up early has prompted me to ask some very hard questions. Such As: 1) Why do the majority of people who claim to have been abducted by aliens seem to be cliche` rednecks who never made it to high school? 2) If people know that large predatory animals inhabit an area, do they insist on going jogging on trails that could put them on the food chain?

1) Why would the Felus Catus Conspiracy target redneck high-school dropouts? 2) Part of the Felus Catus conspiracy is to frame mountain lions for their own dastardly deeds. Why some joggers are clueless idiots, I have no clue. 3) You can report back to Felus Catus Conspiracy Commander Ser now. You are still Second in Command, aren't you? _____________________________ * * * Not A Fetish/Kink Delivery System * * *

1. Why are so many men insecure, manipulative, lying, dangerous, controlling, abusive, and just plain uninteresting these days? 2. Why do so many women put up with insecure, manipulating, lying, dangerous, controlling, abusive, and just plain uninterested men these days? Well that made me dizzy. Good day! :D

Okay...let's say that the aliens are real and are in orbit above. They want to go down on the surface and see things close up. Not a problem on a planet not inhabited by an intelligent species. But they will have signal technology and have probably already sent down unmanned (unaliened?) probes and determined that we are a somewhat violent and xenophobic species. Even if they have the tech to kick our asses in cleats, chances are they didn't come here to pick a fight (unless they're Klingons and then all bets are off). What do they do? What would we do in the same situation? We'd send a scouting party to the least inhabited areas we could find, attempt to isolate and interview/examine/anal probe individuals who aren't in a large party. That means rednecks, hikers, campers, people who spend a lot of time in the wilderness by themselves. Make an unannounced landing in a major metropolitan area and you might be on the receiving end of a tactical nuke. Even with their gee-whiz technology, they might now want to have to fend off a temporary artificial star exploding next to the hull. You get the benefits of being able to examine a representative example of the species, at least biologically, you don't start an interstellar war (which we'd lose since we don't have starships yet), and the best part is, no one down here will believe Jim Bob when he said he was swooped up into the alien's spaceship. That's why. As for #2: People are stupid and complacent, and too many of us think that we're exempt from what goes on in the animal kingdom. I say it comes from the fact that we tend to spend all of our time mingling with other members of the most dangerous species on Earth-us. We tend to forget the dangers of the outside world because we're so good at ganging up on things and killing them, we forget that we need to be in large groups to do it. That's why solo joggers get eaten by pole-cats every so often.

Cant answer that one, since I happen to not be one of those you are describing, my niece's boyfriend however is another story. 2. Why do so many women put up with insecure, manipulating, lying, dangerous, controlling, abusive, and just plain uninterested men these days? My niece's reason is simple, if said male carries out his threat of suicide, it will be her fault. My response is we call said male's father (who is nothing like his son) and tell him to come get his son and have the idiot put in a mental ward. Well that made me dizzy. Good day! :D

They're abducting rednecks in order to get enough genetic material and data to be able to clone entire armies of rednecks when they come to take over the Earth. 2: I wouldn't know. I try to avoid large predatory animals whenever I can. The two-legged variety are bad enough. --- I have a question along the same lines: Why is it that, whenever someone tries to take a picture of something like a UFO (or Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, or some other mysterious thing), they can never use a decent camera? It's always some grainy, blurry shot that could be anything.

Or consider the other possibilities of my first sentence.... quote: 2) If people know that large predatory animals inhabit an area, do they insist on going jogging on trails that could put them on the food chain? Because people are usually determined to live their lives no matter what. Consider that statistics will probably tell you that you're more likely to be maimed or killed driving to work. But a typical road accident doesn't make for an attention-grabbing headline. Emigrating won't help here. Maybe it's time to quit work, board up the house and keep that .45 on you at all times...? But American gun death stats will tell you that the enemy is often within, anyway. Mate, I think you're toast no matter what...! [:-] Or you could get on with just living your life, regardless? Focus.

Focus. The reason for these questions is that it seems that the only shows on at 5AM deals with aliens, alien abductions or "I survived" what ever animal attacked me. My personal opinion is that if there is any intelligent life out there, they have been picking up our radio and tv broadcasts for close to a hundred years and know for a fact there is no intelligent life on this rock. As for the animal attack survivors, they had been warned by rangers, or signs on the biking and jogging trails that predatory animals are known to be in the area.

Maybe because they have so much in common Butch

My personal opinion is that if there is any intelligent life out there, they have been picking up our radio and tv broadcasts for close to a hundred years and know for a fact there is no intelligent life on this rock. Recent studies indicate that our radio and TV signals fade out in the background cosmic radiation about 1 light-year away from us. Here's the straight dope on the subject. Basically, before the signals get too far out, they've been weakened by propagation. The most an alien civilization would be able to detect is patterns not found naturally. And that's only if they've got their 'ears' pointed in the right direction. So, no hyperspace voyage to catch the original I Love Lucy out by the Brandenburg Gate, I'm afraid.

No it all entered my brain because I am getting up at 5Am and the only thing worth watching are "educational" channels. The other 123 channels have infomercials dealing with abs, hair style, hair growth, knives, something called WEN, or some televangelist preaching his version of the gospel to get poor people to dumb to read the bible and form their own opinion to send him or her money. While Kera is eager to begin her walk as soon as the light goes on and I stumble to find the alarm clock, I need at least two cups of coffee before I dare venture out onto the country roads. The other dogs seem to share my personality, stumble out of bed, go outside to take care of business, come back in the house grumbling about the godfuckingdamn early hour of the day and crash on the couch or dog beds until it is breakfast time. I have come to believe that in a past life, kera was one of those Perky (ugh) women who loved mornings and greeted everyone with a smile and a cheerfully perky good morning. You know the type, the girl you want to grab around her throat and shake her till both eyes are in one socket while repeatedly asking "What the fucking hell is so goddamn good about fucking mornings you twit?"

5:00 AM? They make an hour that small? The only reason to get up at 5:00 AM is if you are going to get pissed off enough to shoot some food. When I do get up that early I shoot some food and then go right back to bed. Also, if you call at an hour like that, somebody better be dying or someone will be dying.

I have found that between 5:45AM and 7 there seems to be no traffic on the road around here. You see, some brilliant ass wipe decided to build a subdivision just south of my place. Another idiot built one just north. And instead of coming out of their driveways and going to the freeway, they tear ass down country roads at 60 and 70 miles an hour, at the same time the school buses are traveling the same roads at 40 miles per hour. I figure in the near future we will make the national news when some freaking yuppie rear ends a school bus.

You forgot all those fabulous offers of 4.....no....wait....THREE!!!! payments (today only)..... Ya know....when I had 5 local channels....I could wake up to a good TV show all night long, switching between those simple 5 channels. Now it takes me 50 channels to find an ad for a product I've not seen the ad for yet.

Perhaps you are unaware but, today, hunting can be done on the internet, it requires no camo and....it arrives in less than 2 hours in saran wrap. (And no fake deer piss required).
