Interstellar planets could harbour life

Oh, that's a relief. I thought it was going to say that there were some heading in our direction. Maybe we are first to tech. Who tech first is cosmos ruler. There will not be war since there will be no contest. Even if we look our history Espana/Aztec one will be far advanced...

Are youz guys using that New Math again? Now I know why E.T hasnt landed on the White House Lawn! We cant expect to see them for another Fourty Two Thousand years ! Dhooo!!!! Where`s Homer when you need Him?

Wouldn't it be sad if we are the most advanced. If all the life we ever find is going through their own Roman or Egyptian times. Maybe complex life such as ourselves takes a very long time to evolve and perhaps we are the first - it could explain the lack of its abundance. Are you saying modern society is much more advanced than Roman and Egyptian times, improved and superior? The science behind theories of life on other planets is certainly a humbling one. I'd argue that not only were ancient times superior to modern day society in almost every way, but far less barbaric.

How would you argue that?

How would you argue that? In great length, touching upon the integrity of ancient democracies and republics, as well as the thriving intellectualism and ideas of ancient Greece and Rome that produced western philosophy and religions like Christianity.

Screw philosophy. Its sole purpose is so that we have something that shows us what hypocrites we are. Let's talk actions. I don't care about what people think. I care about what they do. What actions from the past convince you they were superior and less barbaric?

Gladiators fighting to the death and various medieval torture devices are nothing compared to the horrors of American Idol and Wal-Mart.

You mean like the fabled Greek Democracy, when about a dozen people out of the whole population actually had the vote, and the slaves did all the work? Or all those highly paid labourers who weren't at all coerced into building the Pyramids?
