alien abductions

[nailit]

Is there any breakdown of where alien abductions are supposed to have taken place? It seems that the majority of 'abductions' take place in the USA.
just curious as to where this 'phenomonon' occurs and why.

Todmorden in Lancashire, a few years ago a police constable got abducted for a 2 hour period, the full details might be remembered by Boo.

no, im answering the question jom, birdie said this:

//First, I think that some people desperately crave attention and want to be regarded as 'special' in some way. They know they're lying but enjoy the apparent kudos that being an alien abductee gives them. They repeat the lie so often that it becomes second nature to them. They can pass polygraph tests with flying colours (which is actually quite easy if you know how to do it). They convince themselves of the lie and then go on to convince others. They join or create support groups that perpetuate the lie and so on and so on. //

im saying even if some did lie, at least half are going to be telling the truth, not all of them can be lying. Do you get me now, or do you need simpler explanations???

[jomifl]

Sith I don't need a simpler explanation, just an explanation. Why do you think that at least half of them would be telling the truth? Is this some universal principal? why half? why not three quarters or 99.9% even? You can't expect to just snatch a number out of the air which you cannot justify and expect to be taken seriously. Made up statistics do not constitute an argument. I do get you, only too well.

While I think alien abduction is extremely unlikely and perhaps the majority of people are indeed lying to draw attention to themselves, I do get what sith is saying in that perhaps some of them might indeed be telling the truth, you simply don't know anything and everything about every person who purports to be abducted, so I wouldn't presume to call them all liars or indeed equally assume they are telling the truth.

[jomifl]

I am sure that not all of then are lying too, I think the ones that aren't lying are deluded and need psychiatric help. The whole idea of alien abductions is preposterous, there is no evidence of the existence of 'aliens' anywhere let alone on this planet, and no evidence of alien aductions.

[naomi24]

I think there's a good chance that aliens visited earth thousands of years ago, but I don't believe they're here now kidnapping people for experimental purposes.

[sith123]

so you believe every account of aliens that there are, even when so very many have been proven false or as hoaxes? gotta say jom, that is weird.

[naomi24]

Sith, I think you should read Jom's post again - and carefully this time.

[TWR]

There are a few in Parliment Nailit, these basds live on another planet.

[sith123]

no naomi, i understand what he is saying. He is saying why cant i believe all cases. there is no universal principle, there is just common sense. for starters, as i have clearly said that so many of them are fakes and hoaxes and have been proven fake. i do believe in aliens and do think that they do exist, however not everyones account is going to be true. some will, some will not. it is a common fact that many are haoxes. if you do not believe this than suit yourself, im not going to argue with you, but just dont try to bend your answer to try to make someone else look stupid because believe me, it is not going to achieve anything. and also if jom read my post carefully he would see that i was not even talking to him in the first place, my answer was aimed at what birdie said.

[naomi24]

Oh, right.

[jomifl]

Sith, no one is trying to make you look stupid, it just isn't necessary. You can not have understood my previous post, try reading it again, then when you have understood it you might like to answer it, not that I really care if you cannot or will not. Nevertheless your statement is still nonsense.

[naomi24]

Jom, cn you be bothered? It's deja vu.

[naomi24]

*can

[jomifl]

Yes Naomi, deja vu all over again. :-)

[sith123]

i take it you have not read my post. Jom, i was not even talking to you, my answer was aimed at birdie, for gods sake! so why are you telling me to answer your question? i have nothing against you in this thread. i do believe in aliens but it is common sense, and surely you would agree, that not all cases can be correct. ok, i may have said 50%. what does it matter if its 99% or 1%, in the end all i am saying is that not all cases can be correct as so many have been disproven. is this clear enough now???

[jomifl]

Sith, would these be the aliens in the Koran or a different lot? If you were replying to Birdie's post and not mine why did you quote phrases and points from my post? ..'for God's sake' is that a common muslim expression by the way?

[sith123]

no, gods sake, isnt a common muslim expression, but if atheists can use it and they do not even believe in god than surely i can. I do believe in aliens, i believe that we are not the only life in the universe however by aliens i do not mean "little green men". I believe that whatever the aliens look like, humans are a lot more advanced both technically, physically and mentally.

about the quotations from your post can you please tell me where i said that as i cannot find them. If you are talking about my later on posts than of course i would have quoted you as you asked me a question but if you are talking about my first post, i cannot spot it. please point it out.

[naomi24]

Sith, //I believe that whatever the aliens look like, humans are a lot more advanced both technically, physically and mentally.//

Why do you believe that?

[oldbillbuck]

Sith - I believe that whatever the aliens look like, humans are a lot more advanced both technically, physically and mentally.

If aliens are technically inferior to humans, then how the hell could they possibly get here accross umpteen light-years of space
