10. God only loves men, when you get abducted you don't get to go to the real heaven |

I thought everybody knew that - when aliens abduct you then if they don't bring you back and you die then god doesn't really want you so then you have to go to this other place, you know the one - Nostradamus predicted it.

Mr Pip had shown me that site a few weeks ago.
I'm like...c'mon...is that a joke?
I'm now leaning more toward it being serious. Yes, there are probably that many crazies in the world, including the guy who owns the site...

15. Indeed, only two failures to protect in 9 years... |
|
The helmet still works for people being abducted by aliens, but not by their alien-human hybrids who are now integrating into our societies.
So if you got abducted wearing the helmet it must have been those pesky hybrids and not a lack of medication.

"I have been abducted by aliens for years and found stopabductions.com by a happy coincidence. The Thought Screen Helmet, invented by an expert, hasstopped the unwelcome visitations and has raised me and my family`s quality of life. Therefore I highly recommend it."
Suddenly, my day is much brighter. I have not one abduction under my belt, knock on wood.

You know, if there are aliens, and they've developed FTL travel, do people really think fucking VELCRO helmets are going to stop them? It's kinda like threatening to drain the Pacific ocean with a pint glass. Reminds me of the movie "The Rundown."
"You're threatening me? You're threatening me with...pee?
What would the alien overlords thing when the flying saucer returned with no abductees and the ships crew had to explain that despite vastly superior technology they were thwarted by...aluminum foil and a cloth strap.

19. Oh sure, that's good for short term protection... |

but people have to think about the future too.
Aluminum pie plates and metal colanders are durable.
I, however, prefer a cast iron frying pan.

Science progresses through accidents and mistakes. Maybe we'll find a statistically significant lower rate of cancer among these wearers 20 years from now!

16. Armed with the knolwedge from this page, I believe we're ready to conquor the galaxy |
|
From the Skills/Tools page. If this is really all we need to stop alien psychic powers, we shouldn't have a hard time kicking their asses. I wonder if they have oil? I yearn to see the fear in the eyes of this alien master race when I arrive on their home world brandishing my felt tipped highlighter and yard stick (and protective helmet of course).
Required Skills
Dexterity, use of scissors, adept at cutting and shaping paper and plastic sheets.
Tools
Felt tipped Highlighter
Felt tipped pen or grease pencil
Scissors
Sharp knife
Yardstick and 18" ruler
Paper pattern which you will make

17. you know, there's serious scientific research on non-locality, remote viewing, ESP, etc. now |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 11:20 AM by zazen
What happens when our society ridicules stuff that might have some merit is that all the nuts _do_ come out. Sort of like chiropractic--well done, it really works, but it's been marginalized for so long by the medical establishment (whose neurosurgery and orthopedic businesses might suffer if we found out how often and inexpensively chiropractic worked) that it's a lot easier for jerks and quacks to enter the field as well as competent people who are willing to endure the ridicule to actually help people.
There is fascinating research going on about "non-locality" . . . but because this gets ridiculed, we don't draw better lines around it, and then you get people like this who seem to be looking for any huge new paradigm within which to give their struggling lives meaning. Their premise is that the laws of quantum physics operate everywhere and therefore aliens who could travel here would presumably use those laws in ways we can't fathom to move in and out of our holographic reality.
But if they're just transporting your holographic self, then what's all the fuss about coming back with scars and stuff?
Some speculate that what they're reporting is something called "sleep paralysis," which I've experience and _is_ terrifying. Your mind wakes up but your body's still asleep, so you're fully conscious but can't move anything, and you feel a pounding sound that feels like it's pulling you upward. This a documented condition some folks have. It was probably interpreted as witch abductions 400 years ago.
They also think that aliens are quietly interbreeding with us. Given the state of our world, maybe that's not such a bad idea!! : - )

Some links to reputable scientific journals would help justify the "serious scientific" part of your assertion.

25. Go With Your Gut -- Intuition Is More Than Just A Hunch, Says New Research (Sci Daily, 3/08) |
|
ScienceDaily (Mar. 6, 2008) — "Most of us experience ‘gut feelings’ we can’t explain, such as instantly loving – or hating – a new property when we’re househunting or the snap judgements we make on meeting new people. Now researchers at Leeds say these feelings – or intuitions – are real and we should take our hunches seriously.
According to a team led by Professor Gerard Hodgkinson of the Centre for Organisational Strategy, Learning and Change at Leeds University Business School, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and retrieve information on a subconscious level and so is a real psychological phenomenon which needs further study to help us harness its potential.
There are many recorded incidences where intuition prevented catastrophes and cases of remarkable recoveries when doctors followed their gut feelings. Yet science has historically ridiculed the concept of intuition, putting it in the same box as parapsychology, phrenology and other ‘pseudoscientific’ practices. . . . "
There's a lot more, but this is as much time as I'll take with someone who uses mocking quotes for no other reason than to ridicule another member.
Have a better day.

30. What's that have to do with "non-locality" and ESP? |
|
That article is just the same ideas presented in the book Blink about how the human mind forms snap decisions, how sometimes over thinking a problem leads to worse solutions than your initial thought and how sometimes the initial thoughts are wrong and more deliberation leads to better solutions.
Hardly groundbreaking or non-mainstream ideas and definitely not related to your original post.

35. The hard science you cite refutes all of the WOO-WOO crap explanations. |
|
You left this part out of your cameo, from the same article:
"Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, the researchers conclude that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and external cues to make a decision – but one that happens so fast the reaction is at a non-conscious level. All we’re aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong."

and the more depraved succubus. And having had a few fits of sleep paralysis myself, I understand how freaky it is when you don't know what's going on.

Perfumes
Several abductees report that aliens do not like perfume. One abductee claims that they stopped an abduction by exposing strong cheap perfume to aliens.
:rofl: That settles it! I really AM an alien!

29. Do they have a cutoff point? |
|
Say, $10.00 a bottle as opposed to $2.00 a bottle?
And what if it's an expensive perfume that we got on sale?
Also...I have a nearly full bottle of "Joy" that Mr Pip picked up in Paris for his mom back in 1955 or thereabouts. I wonder if it's rotted enough since then to be considered alien repellent....

Wine is said to become better with age.
Perhaps the cheap ass French perfume is actually ATTRACTING ALIENS.
