An Alien Comes By...

[ComputerNerd]

Aliens have been visiting earth with the continued hope of finding intelligent life.
So far they have been disappointed.

[Serj Tankian]

Yes, I would go.

Anywhere is better than this corrupted world we call Earth.

[endersblade]

It wouldn't be emigration for me, it would be going home.

[Zapgreen]

No, too many unknowns.

Do the aliens have internet?
Is the internet connected to earth?
Can I visit earth?
Do I get my own spaceship?
Do dogs count as one of my 3 guests?
How is the food?
What's the weather like?
Am I going to be 'observed' or put on display like a zoo?
Do I get to bring as much other junk as I want?
How will I get stuff that I want (will they give me money)?
Where will I live?

and so on...

I mean, immigrants don't generally have it easy and 3 people isn't a lot. My immediate family has 5 already. Who's to say If I brought friends along, they'd want to leave their families. If they had earth internet access, I got my own ship so I could visit earth whenever I wanted, Had enough money to live confortably (as in not on the streets or in a zoo) I might go, but what are the odds.

Maybe if I learned a little about their planet first. Would humans be second-class citizens? Food? Slaves? Even able to breathe?

[Adam Jensen]

No, I'm not going to trust the motives of some random alien offering me a free journey to some other planet.

In fact, I'd be more likely to suspect there were hallucinogenics in my morning cereal than believe an alien is trying to abduct me.

[Arkenaw]

No, 3 people would mean I would leave out someone in my family and I couldn't do that.
