The poll says nothing about 'intelligent' alien life, just life on other planets. For very basic forms of life not to exist anywhere else in the universe is quite a stretch of the rational imagination, or a symptom of quite a dogmatic religious indoctrination.
As for reading more into the question than is being asked, then arguing the toss over the stuff you've just made up - well, you really should try some of the more fundamental organised religions - those nutters just lap that shit up.
It would be very selfish to think we are the only intelligent beings in the universe when there are millions of planets like ours out there :-) Thats why i opted for the Alien Life on other planets and nothing else....
I was about to post something damn near identical to that meself but you've saved me the effort! Hurrah! Oh. Wait. Typing this has taken just about as much effort in itself and it's only taking more and more effort the more I type. I guess I should stop really. I really should. So why aren't I? It's just going on a bit now, not really saying anything of any relevance whatsoever. No sir! I really should wrap it up. It's went further than it ever should have. It looks like it m-(BANG! That's about enough of that. Ed)
The best option, and only option in my limited opinion, out of all those the options - too many, but not enough, is the life on other planets one. All the rest is just wishful thinking. Pseudo nonsense, non-science, no sense.
the mormons came round the other day, i opened the door and the said, can we spare two mins of your time, i spied their bibles so said, no thanks mate, and they said, you don't understand were fromt he church of the later day saints. as if i was thinking they were double glazing salesmen.
i think it'd be cool if other religions tried to recruit in this way. like you'd get the jews one day and the muslims the next day. they could give you a prize each time like a wrist band or a t shirt. also i think a christian ice cream van would be a good idea, so you go and buy a 99 and get a free sermon. in fact the ice cream should be free too. i don't like that they wear suits, it's like alan sugar has come round, they should at least wear a costume like the pope. just an idea.
I don't much want to vote cause people will ridicule/argue/demand long explanations for choices.
lets just say it's easy to dismiss certain things we don't understand as mumbo jumbo and nonsense.
on the other hand the explanations given for those things are always patently absurd, that's why people are so ready to dismiss the phenomena immediately
I've had Jehovah's Witnesses hiding round the corner whilst they send their kid to knock on my door and spout off. To me that's the most twisted form of badgering people and borders on child abuse. I'm not going to take their claptrap, but similarly I'm not going to tell a kid that his parents have filled his head with lies. That they'd try to put me in that situation on my own doorstep is downright amoral.

my parents were like that, told me loads of lies, father christmas, easter bunny, tooth fairy. it proper messed my head up. and hallowe'en, well i had to dress up as a ghost and go knocking on people's door asking for sweets, as you say it was almost child abuse, i can't eat an apple these days without bursting into tears.
I do laugh when some people laugh at muslims for thinking they'll go to heaven and sleep with virgins etc when their faith suggests equally ridiculous things.
Fair play to Jehovas though, i've had a few 'discussions' with them over the years and they really hold their own and dont seem to get wound up. I always laugh at their views on homosexuals and refusing to believe it exists and their kids will never be gay kinda thing. Just ridiculous.
Driving to Manchester we go through a short cut and through a jewish part of the city, talk about hardcore, its amazing. Dont mean to sound like Gok Wan but some of those hats are a bit OTT though !
Well now, if they're going to pretend to be supernatural entities then a blast from my proton accelerator just counts as self-defence. A stake through the heart is too good for these ethereal immigrants. Send them back to whatever plane of existence they come from. Ascending to our doorsteps, taking our sweets...

They do keep calm, but they have this hilarious history they don't like to talk about of going round preaching specific dates for the end of the world that they then have to roll back when it doesn't happen. They haven't actually got an official fixed date to preach any more, which takes a lot of the fun out of it.
Actually suprised that no one's admitted to believing in Nessie (or other such beasts) yet. I know a few other people who readily photograph lake-monsters and UFOs, and who probably hate my continual dismissal of their claims.
I've seen a UFO before, a red light flying down a street about 15ft above my head, but I don't think it was aliens. Dunno what it was, but I don't believe in aliens on Earth.
I'm with wazzis-face, Mile I think, who mentioned alien bacteria/plant-life. Yup, I think there must be some pretty spectacular worlds out there somewhere, but we'll never see them.
As for my belief in ESP. That's my wife's fault. She knows, EXACTLY what I'm thinking! Scary, eh?
Well, we'll find out about intelligent alien lifeforms on 21st December 2012 when they come to rescue us before the earths polarity switches and destroys us all...or maybe we won't and then those who question the existence of such life can laugh at those that do for about 1 second...unless the poles do not reverse and then everyone can keep arguing about everything for a bit longer...until the earth does come to an end and then none of us will be laughing apart from the people who believe the world will end.

Well, most of the things in that poll were utter nonsense!
Only thing I voted for was aliens on other planets. That inevitable - the galaxy is massive.
Ghosts? Now come on people that's a load of old claptrap! You only have to watch that awful 'Most Haunted' program to realise it's all hyped for the camera, and the fact that yvette fielding and husband have money invested in the programme so it in their interest to hype things up.
Derek Acora (or whatever his name is) is another fraud - he probably reads up on a particular location before he goes to haunted houses with the 'Most Haunted' team. As for those light orbs, that just dust, flies or moths. If that show had any credibility, they would conduct their investigations with proper scientists and not a bunch of amateurs!
Hunt around YouTube for some exposure of 'Most Haunted' - a few clips of them cracking up after a take and laughing about a supposed 'channelling'. Also reveals how a fair bit of the 'low-light' footage is ordinary digital broadcast camera footage tinted after the event. You can tell real low-light footage because people's pupils are wide open and their eyes look either jet black or shine under an IR source.
Still, I wouldn't take drivel like this as evidence either for or against anything!
Psychic powers 1 (Telekinesis, levitation, anything that effects the outside world.)
yet we have 5 votes for :-
Psychic powers 2 (ESP, Remote viewing, powers concerning the mind/thought.)
I would've thought much along the same lines (well except for the levitation which is shite, v funny watching them yogi's or whatever on YouTube reckoning they can all levitate, when really they're just sitting on loads of pillows, folding their legs and hopping about, lol)

Well I'm going to pitch meself a deck chair, crack open a cold one, sit back, relax, and watch the petty squabbling turn into another flame war ;)
Have fun fellas :D

If no one gives them reason to question it, they won't ever question it...

My real fear is in the fanatics who believe the world will end and are doing everything possible to make it happen.
Crikey! Neither did I!!

Were? You mean they aren't now? Have you had a visitation, brother? Did you see the light?
