Who's that little arrogant fucker that owns the Strat? I can picture the dude, but his name escapes me. I think his last name begins with a 'K'?

your thinking of bob stupid............er rrr stupak ....that must have been some odyssey, 13 states 6000 miles!!!! damn, i always tend to like to fly if its gonna be more than 3 hours in the car.....the flight to Japan was like 18 hours going there, but because of the jet stream, only 15 or so coming home...ya i played intramural sports with Nevada Stupak (his son), hey can't seriously knock the guy, he turned VEGAS WORLD (a shitty dump) into the Stratosphere, part of the renassaince (sp) our town is in now.....Implode, build bigger..repeat, i've worked at almost every hotel on the strip (cuz of the shops my pops owns)....the Venetian would be my faviorite, and ya know what? CRACK ALLEY is within walking distance, if you know where to go, what streets to take....etc

my theory is that we are animals, just as every other animal on this planet. we are just super-evolved conscientious creatures that are able to do things that are unthinkable, unimaginable and extraordinary. we are not the smartest things in the cosmos, but we are pretty high up there. if there were creatures/aliens out there even twice as smart as us they would be here taking our planet over and harvesting our crops and people, or they would be sending us friendly messages. animals are all over the galaxy some different than others but we all came from one place.

"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself."

In essence we have only one clear advantage and that is the manipulation of our environment through tools...We even use our environment and it's life to aid our survival as tools... No other species can chage and adapt faster than a human bent on surviving...

who's to say we haven't made alien contact already? too many botched cover ups, and people like bob lazar are proving that we are not alone......we are too far too travel unless we can harness light-speed...and, whos to say another species similar to us, human, hasn't created a way to "fold" space like a piece of paper....time is relative, einstein proved that..it would be possible to go forward into time, as long as the time machine is turned on....george nooryCOAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY always has great guests that discuss this very subject, almost nightly!!i also suggest any book by michio kaku... he's a frickin genius.........Ted goes to a school right next to NYU where kaku teaches...if
i were ted, i'd be in there bugging the shit out of kaku, or better yet just take his class

whoa, i disagree......our production is the manipulation of said things...

[Skywarp]

nope, it is the manipulation of their production, which we harness for our survival...No tool/animals=no human life as we know it...

right, and we were given power over said animals. That is our production, the human mind at work, maybe not physical work, but work nonetheless..

right you said it yourself, "which we harness", that is productivity..

Insects are remarkably adaptable, humans have way too many requirements(chemica lly speaking)

the point he is making is legitimate.

I think points are more legitimate when they are backed up by real evidence.

dead sea scrolls?

[Home Wrecker]

Maybe Atlantis existed but I haven't seen any sort of meaningful evidence that would suggest that. The point you made was valid but the backing evidence was skeptical in my opinion.

I think we all are vibrating at a certain frequency, like a quark, but in a scale thats un-imaginarily large, and EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME everywhere, its like that guy who vibrated and disappeared...ill look for a link on a story, but supposedly a guy "vibrated" out of this existence, like that one movie with kevin spacey,...fuck i cant think of the name of it...but he was supposedly from another planet, (its up in the air on whether its true or not)....but ITS POSSIBLE.........
