I served my time from 81-90. It's a closed book as far as I'm concerned. Not me in the vid though

I'm referring to the footage posted in the first post, to which I assume you referred when you said it had no translation, so I translated it. |

where you in the army at all - if so where
it wasnt a sad day for people I know - it was celebrated - there was extreme hatred for paras - bloody sunday was a sad day - innocent people shot dead - the paras were legitimate targets
heres a weird story - my neighbour was working down there a few weeks later and he found half a skull and still has it; Ive seen it - the forensics missed it wherever it landed - I heard the story from a friend at school who doesnt know my neighbour, he said some man from warrenpoint found a load of skulls lol (chinese whispers) |

I can understand how that would be celebrated but not so for the families of the soldiers that died. Then again war does that to people.
In '69 when troops first went into Belfast to stop the predominantly Protestant sectarian violence against the Catholics our troops were welcomed with open arms but that soon changed. I have family members who were there and experienced it. From 69 to the late 90's the Northern Ireland situation was a nightmare - a lethal mix of nationalism and religion. Unfortunately there are still a hard core of nutters that want to carry on killing when the 'cause' has already been won.

yes thats true - internment changed that - then the british were done for violating human rights for that  i know a few men who were interrogated for weeks who had absolutely no connection to paramilitaries - and the interogations were brutal; one man i know was 20 when it happened - one of the guys said to him 'your mother goes to the bingo every wednesday night at 8.00pm; lets see where she ends up this wednesday' - it was mental torture + guns shoved in mouth/cigarettes burned in b*lls etc etc etc... - none of this ever on the news either
its true the cause has been won and the armed struggle is over - but at the same time its easy to call the dissident nutters; some of them just cant stop the fight because so much shit happened to them
- it has just come out that a new group who are all ex provos was responsible for that cop getting blown up and the two soldiers at masserene barracks shot - they have become disillusioned with the peace process (there is a small chance they could start the troubles up again) - the CIRA and RIRA have virtually no support |

Getting back on topic - why would a highly advanced civilisation release Drones or smaller piloted craft in such an obvious relatively primitive manner?.

Thats an unfair question but easy to answer and propose a few ideas, proving there could be tons of reasons. Easy, weve all got it and it's built in....curiousity.
Curiosity/agenda. Agenda may be goood or bad.
They also may like to reap some supplies, Food and a few cows for genetics ect.
Or maybe witness us purely as we may rats in a maze.
Try this...Why is it so unlikley that they don't exist and visit us? Why is our planet definatly not on the explantion list of ET's? |

I've never said 'they' don't exist. They do. The reason we've probably not yet been visited by ET is on the internet - it's to do with the size of the known Universe and the likelihood of intelligent life evolving to a stage on planets that are condusive to life where they master faster than light travel.
If you can't find it let me know and I'll post some links.

| D B Sweeney, there are billions of solar systems in billions of galaxies in the known universe, and possibly billions of universes in the multiverse - are extradimensional beings not a possibility? |
