There was a book and then a movie about aliens enslaving humans who rebelled but I can't remember its name.
Battlefield Earth?
Watch the movie if you want a great laugh.
Yes that is the name.. Read the book and watched the movie. The book is much better.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.
I do like the Ancient Alien theory that people were genetically engineered to be slaves to Space Alien Overlords but quickly turned the tables on them and so they left. That would make us the assh*le species of the Universe, and that appeals to me on so many levels.
Any reasonable attempt to genetically engineer a population for enslaved labor would result in a kill switch being implemented in said genetic code.
So, if this is the case--say they are doing this now, there's nothing we may be able to do once they decide to put us to work. I wager that a civilization intelligent and crafty enough to pull this off would embed a switch in our genome that could not only kill, but potentially work to override our free will in our nervous system, placing us in a catatonic acquiescent trance.
The brain is a series of synapses, after all, and if they could engineer a protein(that could pass the blood-brain barrier) shaped to interfere with the right junctions, assuming they did their research, which I'm sure they would, I don't see this as implausible. Assuming the brain would not short-circuit and go haywire.

One of my favorite "Star Trek Enterprise" episodes, "North Star", covers that also.

...and the ST:TNG episode "The Game" covers this. Seeing all the people walking around staring at their phones seems to indicate we're well on the way. Obviously not one of my favourite episodes as it's Wesley Crusher-centric.
"A theory is not science it is a theory." You completely misunderstand the way the Science community uses the word "Theory." Most people like yourself use this reasoning because they don't understand. I'm sure you believe in gravity, right? Then again, considering your mindset, maybe you don't. But, even though you aren't floating off into space, gravity is considered a theory. Subs, please don't attempt to teach us science. You are not qualified.
How would you know my qualifications? You know absolutely nothing about me.

Admittedly, I'm guilty of having stepped over the line. The post went into an area that drives me nuts. I'm gonna bow out of the discussion since I don't believe it's going to head back onto it's original tracks. Apologies.
I do NOT apologize. If this is now "BibleHq" I'm done.
So you're the mirror image of Subs then. Right?
The ignore function works. I just added Subs and I'm a Bible believing Christian (and my Bible doesn’t contain any of the nonsense Subs is spewing so your blaming religion is off base. Subs is just "wrong" to put it in words I can use within the rules of the forum)
The reason why I mentioned Heaven is because some spaceships are actually from there including Tic Tac. Sentient Alien races do not possess that sort of technology, theirs is comparable to Earths fore they have a similar tech tree.

Tic Tac? What do breath mints have to do with this thread topic?
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
Carry on gentlemen, this has been a fun thread to read.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
While all of you gents argue contentiously over aliens, Fallen Angels, breakaway civilizations and interdimensional travellers, I think the origin of these craft is obvious;
Florida Man!
I mean he's clearly capable of violating the laws of physics and probability, sometimes appearing in several places at once, perhaps this "tic tac" is one of his myriad means of travel?
Too bad she’s batshit crazy because she’s pretty darn hot!

Thanks for the tip - been around here since 2002 and never used it before. Will use now.
