Australia tries to make first contact with space aliens - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

With that pansy-ass message you can expect their invasion fleet in early 2030.

**fedordzen** · 08-21-2009, 03:18 PM

Whatever there are aliens on that planet? And they are allowing us, the general public, to send first contact to them? WTF are they thinking?!

I'm going to Twitter; Do you taste good?

**vernotixas** · 08-21-2009, 04:27 PM

You've never sent a text message?!

**Aceroassert** · 08-21-2009, 04:40 PM

Sending a declaration of war as we speak

**Nppracph** · 08-21-2009, 06:11 PM

You can send them to yourself...

**NudiJuicervich** · 08-21-2009, 11:11 PM

Why does this idiot Aussie Sen think we have anything faintly resembling a common language or even character set? They may just ignore primitive tech broadcasts (or narrowcasts for that matter).

Alternatively, their leaders will be redirecting their fleets soon after receiving this organized noise, Note we do not know how easy or difficult distanced space flight actually is as we have no experience. They could get here and find our weapons are orders of magnitude superior to theirs.

As well as a worthwhile purpose for sending them, which I've yet to experience with people past adolescence.

It's good for when something is 1) not urgent or complicated or 2) they can't talk right then and especially for 3) flirting. Now I wonder how the the inhabitants of Gliese 181d would respond to the last one.

Cell phones to avoid planning everything in advance. Can't find where you're going? Phone them up and get directions etc.

**craditc** · 08-22-2009, 03:04 AM

Have they tried California?

Anyway, any life forms on Gliese 581d capable of hearing us has been hearing us are already hearing us. Our radio and television transmissions have been hitting them for about 50 years.

I hope they forgive us for sending them all those episodes of "My Mother the Car."

I have found that mobiles and text messaging just speed life up a bit.

But I find myself using my mobile more as an information tool than a communication tool.

TV is overrated and quite frankly useless. Radio is ok for that quick news and music, but generally just garbage.

That would be great so long as they leave my vacation days untouched.

But their economy would be in a shambles anyway, with quarterly reports every 16 days and all those end-of-year bonuses.
