What Would You Ask an Alien if You Had Only 1 Question

funky - it seems like you ignored this note at the bottom of the post page:

Please avoid using "TXT Messaging Shorthand" for words when posting on AboveTopSecret.com and AbovePolitics.com, such as "4" for the word "for" or "u" for the word you. Common "Internet Slang" acronyms such as "LOL" and "ROFLMA" are acceptable, but should still be used sparingly.

...that sort of thing annoys your average ATS'er.

also you should edit a previous one line post to add a second line rather than post multiple one-liners. i've had points taken away for posting ONE "one-liner" post in the past and you have 2 here. =)

"Where do you come from?"

i would want to know the nature of their existence.

Hmm... you didn't even stick to your own rule. You asked two questions...

My god...

If I had 1 question?

"Hey, John Lear is full of it, right?"

Why are your eyes so big?

depends on which "costume" they are wearing ;-)

Your posts are difficult to read.
Perhaps it is your newness here.

I wouldn't ask it anything, because I doubt they can speak english.

I suppose I would ask what kind of mileage do you get in that thing?

Whats that over there?
Sneaks into ship and steals it.

Do you report to a supreme being?
If so, which one?

I bet you can't make a million pounds magically appear in my bank account, can you?

First off, its Extra-terrestrial. And as for my question, "Why does the human race consistently turn against each other whilst never realizing they are the same organism and it would be beneficial for them to help one another?"

I would ask them to take John Lear back with them to their home planet...

The answer will give us an aproximity answer how many races exist and how advanced they are, this will be presumibly the minimumlevel of races, becouse there is many more unexplored, but in the same time wi wil know aproximately how far or how many races live and how advanced their technology is to discover them.

There is a diference if there is only 1-2 or a 1.000.000 races.

intresting point i thin kthe same @ times

I'd think/ask (they're telepathic), "Are you from Earth or elsewhere, and if elsewhere, where? and if elsewhere, why are you here?"

I'd ask them if they've got on of those brain flashy things like wot they got in Men In Black.

Has anyone asked that yet?

First let me say, I am a bit disappointed at the missed opportunity this thread is getting from so many people who should be on the Comedy Channel chat and not here. This is more like a teen chat site where kids see if they can shock or chuckle each other for ego treats.

It is a good philosophical question to hopefully elicit some intelligent discussion and not a kiddie scatological joke thread. Grow up people. Sheesh!

A few good answers keep me from flagging this as a killable thread.

My question would first be to an obviously intelligent advanced species is how can I open my awareness enough to start a conversation with you, i.e., wake me long enough to ask a good question if you can. That done, I would ask to be given a glimpse of their reality/culture/world for context and then some data on the nature of reality and the local space-time neighborhood of this dimension, how many species, proximity and how we are seen by others in what we need to learn to get out of the detention hall of the Solar System.

Then, are we worth the trouble to help as the pre-intelligent organisms we are?
