If aliens invaded the planet, like in Independence Day, I would sell each and every
one of you fuckers out if I had some kind of deal with those aliens as far as military secrets or the like....sell you right up the river.

Does that make me a bad person? I didn't want to post a poll on this, it's more of a statement, actually....sorry!

Agent Mike...I'm REALLY SORRY!!@!# I"M SSERIES!@! DOn't TAKE THIS SERIESLY!!#

1. Aliens can't be trusted.
No matter how many promises they make, you'll either end up on the wrong end of a ray gun, or the wrong end of an anal probe will end up on you.

3. Let me see if I understand your comment.
I know you are joking so not saying this about you. More about people in general, including me sometimes. Similiar things (without aliens of coarse) are done every day by people.

You can replace aliens with anything. Since you use the ID4 comparison, in your example, the aliens are bad things that, in your example, you fear.

So your comment could also mean the following things.

If you were in occupied territory in WW2 you would tell where innocent people might be hiding for your own reward and safety.

If you were at a party and someone charged in with a knife, you would hide behind the women and children to save yourself.

If you saw someone injured, or being injured, you would not help them because you would be afraid you might get dirty, hurt, or it would cost you money or time.

If you were at work, and a co-worker was accused for something, or took blame he did not deserve, you would not say anything if it might effect you.

6. hey dat's MEAN!
I wouldn't assume any such thing about a poster! If the aliens come, we are going to all have a big crack in our kozmik egg, and none of us know what we really would do.

Would you:

--- head for the bushes as fast as you can?
--- be the first in line to climb aboard the ship?

10. Good question.
Honestly, I would say, "humm, now ain't that different."

And would walk up to them and ask them how they are doing, and say hello. If they started acting like people from the movie Mars Attacks. I would say they should not be doing that. And if they tried to hurt me, I would laugh at them.

And of coarse, if they killed me, they would make me stronger then they could possible imagine :)

11. Just to clarify
My first sentance was that it was not about the poster. I was making an observation on how people sometimes act, and included me in that. We all make mistakes or do things we, in hind sight, can learn from.

9. Well...being probed wasn't part of the deal, but making posts assuming I was is part of that
so I guess you are totally screwed....I would still pick them as my friends!
:P
