Culture of Aliens

I agree with a lot of things that you guys have said, but most of all, I like the fact that Pavel wandered why we all think that aliens are gray.

So I did some thinking, and realized that we have science fiction to blame for thinking that aliens are gray. All the reports of Roswel include slim, gray aliens with big eyes and thin lips. But then, who's to say that's science fiction? Could a race of aliens actually be interested in little old earth?

And that question alone could be the topic for a whole new thread. So far, no one has discovered another planet quite like earth. Could it be that earth is one-of-a-kind? Is it just a coincidence that all the right things came together at the right time to form this wonderful glue and green sphere that we call "Home"? Perhaps the reason that we are so interesting to aliens is not humans themselves, but the planet earth itself. Maybe they've got no where else to go.

What do you think?

Good question, but having the tools to solve the questions of the various aspects of culture would mean knowing something else about how they exist. We don't often carry our homes with us on our various missions to foreign countries, we hardly have any of the amenities aboard when we disembark. We either stay in suites on ships and hotel rooms, or barracks, tents or whatever else have you. Most of the time, when we go somewhere, we expect to garner some of what we need or want from the environment around us. If you run out of toothpaste on your way to France, stop at a drug store and pick up some Crest.

... then again, a culture that lives on world-ships or generation-ships probably would differ drastically from planet-bound beings...

so many things are possible; aliens could be humans with advanced secret techologies, people from other planets, figments of our imagination or all of the above or none of the above (maybe they're from deep in the caves of Earth).

Look within if you want some answers, and be more open to studying cultural differences, here, on Earth.
