THE END IS NEAR! CNN reports that "Scientists discover[ed] possible microbe from space"

Where did I hear this before... Mars rock?

 

[Donuts]

Had these in my shorts for years without any serious side effects.................




It was sure pandemonium!

 

[Josh]

We must...NOT do anything

OuterSquare, reread Ug's posts. That was directed (humorously) at him. No generalization. He has already affirmed his belief in life on earth arising from alien "space-garbage".

EDIT: A little sensitive, aren't you?

 

[xtreme2k]

Honestly I do believe there might be life beyond Earth. If not it seems such a waste of space

It's the bees. They are trying to kill us.

Then why did you say evolutionists? The &quot;s&quot; at the end means more than one, and the wording implies all people who subscribe to evolution. Just might want to be careful about how you word things in the future. This is probably the sort of thing that lawyers thrive off of

 

[apoppin]

Why did I say evolutionists? Because I was referring to people like him (not to you.) He is not the originator of the &quot;alien-garbage&quot; ideas he expounds as fact.

As I said before, you might be a little too sensitive. I never complained when you generalized about &quot;Bible-thumpers&quot; or creationists (even though you were not directly referring to me).



EDIT: Now YOU explain who you are calling &quot;small-minded&quot;. Should I take offence (or call my lawyer)?

 

[snut]

ekkkk were gona diiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :|

Hmm, for 40ish years we've been sending contaminated objects into space, even to the moon and other planets. What's next, bacteria from space! Doesn't mean anything.

Whatever, I don't really feel like arguing about semantics. I can't read people's mind so I go off of what they write. And in that case, it certainly sounded to me like the quote referred to evolutionists in general. But since you've since clarified, it's a moot issue.

Wasn't that months ago? I've since learned otherwise, people don't stay the same forever you know. A little late to bring that up isn't it? You should have chopped me up back then for saying that. And you accuse me of being sensitive? Atleast I don't hold grudges about such things long past

It's the Andromeda Strain. Expect your bodily fluids to become powdered within 24-48 hours.

No. The hills are closer to the sky.



LOL

 

[apoppin]

<< Damn you small minded people. Stop lumping prople into one category dammit. >>


What do you mean &quot;months ago&quot;? You said that today. Reread the 24th post in THIS thread, OuterSquare,

You were referring to me, I believe. I don't think I waited too long to bring this up.

 

[OS]

I was talking about your reference to my bible thumper comment.

 

[apoppin]

Well, I was talking about being called &quot;small-minded&quot;. I mentioned NOT taking offence at the &quot;Bible-thumper&quot; comment a long time ago.

 

[OS]

I really don't see what you are getting at.

 

[jhu]

i now swear allegiance to the mighty space bacteria! down with humans! down with humans!

 

[apoppin]

Ok, you misunderstood my semantics and thought I was referring to you in including certain evolutionists in my comment. You then called me &quot;small-minded&quot;. I called you on it and brought up your past insults and then . . .

Nevermind, forget it (if you can). I haven't taken any offence.

 

[OS]

well, the small minded part was in reference to when I thought you were just slapping a label on evolutionists in general, but you already said that wasn't what you meant, so then my comment doesn't really hold water anymore so it's a moot issue.

I have to go have coffee with an old friend now. Have a good remainder of the turkey day weekend.

 

[apoppin]

You too.

Peace.
