Going into the fossil fuel vs wood thing Isaac - 29/09/2011 08:51:07 PM 752 Views

That's so perfect. Vivien - 30/09/2011 06:43:31 AM 706 Views
I still agree with the view they are unlikley to intentionally punish us. Joel - 30/09/2011 09:35:13 AM 702 Views
We really have no idea how rare advance technologies societies are random thoughts - 30/09/2011 02:00:56 PM 812 Views

hmmm random thoughts - 30/09/2011 07:51:42 PM 577 Views
Yeah but that's just a variant of "Highly advanced aliens who for some reason are totally stupid" Isaac - 30/09/2011 10:21:34 PM 817 Views

thanks for the detailed answer random thoughts - 01/10/2011 03:08:48 PM 755 Views
No prob, hopefully it's not all inaccurate nonsense Isaac - 01/10/2011 03:18:05 PM 787 Views
