Not if they made and are actively observing us. Anyway I'm not a high enough of a ranking official to know either way but there have been several congressional hearings related to UFOs , there's only so many coincidences, you know? Its healthy to be skeptical though.

Well, I've taken religion classes in college and have done thousands of hours on reading ancient texts so I do, give weight to these theories.

According to some accounts, Jimmy Carter may have learned something along these lines. Based on that line of rational, If the theory that they created us and religion to keep us from wiping ourselves out while they studied us is correct, then the rumor that if we stop killing each other in exchange for higher tech may also be plausible.

Ex defense minister from Canada (And I'd just like to put that these people, like Paul Hellyer, Ben Rich and Boyd Bushman had top secret clearance in their jobs, it's highly unlikely decorated people are just trying to make a name for themselves as I've seen some rationalizations, so any arguing by lower ranking officials or naysayers at this point is moot - this has been documented)
"Paul Hellyer, who has long insisted that aliens have visited Earth for many years, says that when aliens saw the atomic bomb they decided that we were a great threat to the cosmos." Here is an interesting- if not strange -article about that.

I mean, the worst that can happen would be something like a second inquisition but what do I know.
Or parasitic entities that eat us from the inside out while wearing our skin.
I could continue.

One could hope. Though, I don't think Vulcans would approve of our emotional gender tantrums.

I think it's hilarious, that we assume an alien race with advanced tech will arrive and ask someone to take them to our "leader". In all honesty, with their advanced tech, we wouldn't have a remote say in anything they'd want to do.

Reply to LPT: While Goodwill is a great place to donate to, try donating to the local food pantry if you can. They will give it to a very needy family for free. by [deleted]
I never donate to big box retailers like Goodwill or Arc, because they upcharge about 200% on freecycling, on top of the fact that they only pay minimum wage if they do pay you, but most "workers" are "volunteers" that are trying to get their hours for welfare. It's a shit system that exploits poor people for free labor.

Reply to LPT: If you’re anemic or get headrush when you stand, do a quick squat, going down as low as you comfortably can, and stand back up. Your head will be completely fine in <2 seconds. by micknanuel
I have an injury that makes it so if I stand up too fast I'll just pass the fuck out. It's gotten a lot better with yoga and neck exercises.
