There are two legionnaires in the desert, and they've been separated from their unit and are lost. They've been wandering for several days without food and water, and are nearly resigned to the fact that they will soon die from dehydration, when as they reach the top of a sand dune, they see a big, bustling market laid out before them. Naturally, they can't believe their eyes and think it's a mirage, but as they draw closer, they can hear the stallholders' cries, and they eventually reach the market and realise that it's really there.
So the legionnaires rush up to the first stall they can and cry to the stallholder, "Stallholder, we have been travelling in the desert for many days, and have had no food or water. We shall surely die soon unless you have some you can sell us - tell us, do you have any sustenance for us?"
The stallholder shook his head and replied "I'm sorry, French legionnaire type people, but all I have to sell is a load of bowls full of jelly, topped with custard and cream, and lovingly sprinkled with hundreds and thousands."
The legionnaires look at each other, mildly surprised, and move on to the next stall, where they ask the stallholder, "Mr purveyor of fine foodstuffs and the like, we have been travelling through the desert for days, deprived of the necessary beverages and foodstuffs which are required for survival. We shall surely die soon, unless you can sell us some skins of water."
The stallholder looked at them embarrassed, and confessed "Gentlemen, tragic as I admit it is, I have none of the ingredients necessary to life for which you ask me... all I have to sell is this large bowl of jelly topped with custard and cream and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands, with a little cocktail cherry in the middle at the top - there," he said, pointing out the glace cherry. "I cannot help you..."
The legionnaires look at each other in desperation, and run on to the next stall, where they demand of the stallholder, "Look mate, we need water or we'll die. We've been travelling without water for days and need some now, Do you have any you can sell us?"
The stallholder looked at his curl-ended shoes in shame as he confessed, "Sorry, fellas, all I have to sell you is a bowl of jelly, with custard, cream and hundreds and thousands. I can't help you. I'll have to condemn you to a long and lingering death through dehydration."
The legionnaires were really worried by this point, and they went through the market, stall by stall, asking each stallholder whether they had any water they could sell them, and thus save their lives, but each stallholder gave the same reply, all they had to sell was a bowl of jelly with cream, custard and hundreds and thousands. Dejected and resigned to their grim fate, the legionnaires left the desert market and walked off into the setting sun. As they did so, one turned to the other, and said, "That was really odd - a big market in the middle of nowhere, and all they sold was bowls of jelly with custard, cream and hundreds and thousands." The other turned to face his companion and replied, "Yes, it was a trifle bazaar..."

IMO there is no doubt that there was/is/will be extraterrestrial life simply because it can be proven from a mathematical and logical point of view.

Quote from JJ72 :Our only way to go out, will be self destruction, if that is the case, does it make us a better or worse species?

IMO it depends on from where you are looking. If we are looking from a human's POV, having such an unstable society that it can implode, then we are worse as a specie.

From another point of view: We are social life forms so if we fail at one of our most rudimentary features, to coexist up to the extent that we are in danger of neutralizing ourselves, then it would be a good riddance.

But then again, I don't think we would be capable of doing that for the reason mentioned above, we are social beings.

Quote from JJ72 :you forgot about viruses and bacterias? little things that kill human on a consistant basis?

Indeed, that's a clear sign that we are still controlled by natural selection although not as strong as it is with other animals, it has it's limits. Viruses can't really make a difference between a normal person and one with ,as an example, Down Syndrome. Both will be affected in a similar way, both will have similar chances of either dying or evolving their immunity.
Yet if you would take, let's say a deer with any visually impairing malformation, it wouldn't get the chance to procreate since it would probably be killed by a predator which it couldn't see.

PS: Shouldn't I be on your ignore list?

I'd look at it from the other POV. We don't control natural selection but neither does natural selection control us anymore. Since we don't have any natural predators anymore, thus no selection process, people with genetic deficiencies are pretty much encouraged by the environment to reproduce simply because they can.

Quote from amp88 :Believing something is true without proof is illogical. Believing something is probably true without proof is logical. There's a difference.

That was basically what I was going to write. The existence of other life forms, intelligent or not, is backed up by a mathematical probability while the existence of a god-like, superior being, is only backed up by faith, which in a world of reason means basically squat.

Now you say that we could eventually neutralize a virus after a period of research but what's stoping the virus to also evolve and thus pretty much making the research useless? Disease and cure is a continuous cycle so I wouldn't really claim that we could ever exterminate every form of virus.

IMO, up to this point, you have not given any clear argument to why the humans are more IMPORTANT. You've just proven that we are BETTER in some attributes then the other lifeforms on this planet.

Alright, performance wise, I'm done for a while now:

Lotus Elise S '96 - | Bhp: 300 | Kg: 600 | Watts: 0 | Drive: AWD | Class 2 |


Will probably start on boosting it to 600 Bhp and 500 Kgs when I'm gonna go for the big boys.

BTW: Niko, would you mind shading and making Pearcy's bodykit for my Lotus fit in a bit more nicely? Like integrate them in the body instead of letting them look like add-on parts?

Quote from LFSn00b :Actually somewhat like this;

The outer of the mesh is darker and the middle is brighter.

It looks a lot better now as it isnt fully bright and has some simple shading.

I joined to see what it is all about the other day. I didn't go for all your typical ricer cars. I went for something classic and classy. And I whooped all of you except for Luke S and his FUGLY Celica in Circuit Race 8....

You didn't beat me, I finished 1st in that race And I also had a classy car with a shape that knows no death

Pearcy: That does look awesome but do you mind If I find someone to shade it and better integrate the added components before paying you?

If I get my job approved today, could I also collect the money from it today or do I have to wait till next week?

Yes you did! You should have bought my old Lotus(:http://z9.invisionfree.com/Man ... ?showtopic=3969&st=25; 4th car in Split-Second's post) which had a few parts on it and looked quite well

And something tells me your question is a bit useless since you won't get your job app approved today from what I know.
