one could argue that an advanced civilization would be using something more sophisticated that radio signals for communication.

Skywave.....there is a section here called "political". It's also where the crazys hang out. Seriously....you're a couple beers short of a six pack and to you everything is political and rascist....even when you make no fucking sense and are being absurd.

It's the perfect place for a wackaloon like you.

Or, one could more reasonably conclude, that the rest of the universe is subject to the same law of physics as in this solar system and that any civilization advanced enough to know about Earth and get here would also know about the entire electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which includes radio waves.

Basically, the UFO believers have just taken the God the Invisible Sky Father myth and transferred it to space aliens, more invisible gods from the sky. Concepts of a juvenile psyche more interested in childish distraction than creating a decent, just and sustainable world here.

Unlike the rest of you, apparently, I have been at the Nazca lines. I have flown over them and photographed them and walked them; I have sat through lectures at the university at Cuzco about the Nazca liens and who made them and what their purpose was; and interviewed Peruvian scholars and shamans about the lines. It is not this big woo-woo pace mystery. The Nazca built the lines and had their own purposes. No assistance from space aliens was needed to build Machu Picchu, the Inca Road or the Nazca liens. Or the wondrous ruins throughout Meso-America.

And it is Peruvians who lay the charge of racism, from whom I first heard it when studying the lines in Peru. If you travel to Peru and Nazca and talk to the people and scholars there involved with the lines, they are the ones who complain bitterly about the racism of the white folks who assume that the native American Nazcan people could not have made the lines and that they must have been made by space aliens instead. The brown-skinned Peruvians know that these assumptions are racist. How do you think a Peruvian parent feels, one who wants to show the marvels of their country top their children, who wants their children to be proud of what their ancestors were able to build, only to be told that the Nazcans were too stupid to construct these lines and that space aliens must have built them.

But rather than examine the racism implicit in your assumptions that space aliens built the Nazca lines, you choose instead to attack me and go into, as racists tend to do, total denial.

I'd think that a hippie like you would be more open minded. You'd feel differently if you ever had any experiences of high strangeness but obviously the aliens have steered clear of you cause they're afraid you'd stereotype them like you do most other factions of beings.

I have been to the Nazca Desert, walked the desert, seen and photographed the lines from the air and took a short course on the lines from the university in Cuzco, Peru.

A bit more
"Despite criticism from the scientific establishment, including famed scientist Carl Sagan, the ancient astronaut and lost civilization hypothesis remains popular. According to Omni (1994:77) "One of Sagan's original objections was the underlying assumption that our ancestors were apparently too stupid to create the monumental architecture of our past." And indeed, this is the theme that cuts across all the diffusionist ideas about the origins of Mesoamerican civilization. Each of these authors argues that the Mesoamericans were incapable of creating a unique, vital and exciting civilization on their own, and that they needed outside agents to help them overcome their mental handicaps.

This view is not only wrong, it is also racist. It is racist whether it comes from supporters of the Caucasian refugees of a lost continent (see Hancock 1995:102-104) or the Afrocentrists who see Africans as the superior race (see Haslip-Viera et al. 1997:420). What these belief systems fail to understand is that humanity has no biological determinism, that intelligence and the ability to create and to understand are not characteristics belonging to races, but individuals (Jurmain et al. 1998:109). Mesoamericans had a long tradition of civilization and culture before the Spanish conquest, and no attempt to rewrite history can deny the ancient peoples of Mexico their cultural heritage. "

Is there anything you haven't done?

Well, it's refreshing to see you refer to common sense anyway...even if you haven't a clue about what it is! Maybe dream about being someone who actually knows what he's talking about, instead of inventing qualifications eh? There goes another internet idiot...sleep tight

what's the point you are trying to make here?

Bitches be crazy?

Just because Smelly posted some article like that, doesn't mean he believes that it's the case here. I don't think he's that dumb, really, now.

That's inappropriate Gamble
