Psychology NOT religion

[Kamog]

OK, I say that humans are for the most part NOT xenophobic.

...what is this can of worms you mentioned?

I'm gonna let that one slide for now, put the ole can back on the shelf so to speak. Let's kill this topic my friends.

And I thought it was about philosophy. Geez!

Ok, lets open this can up. Part one:

Are humans: Mostly zenophobic or not?

I say we are. Look at the way we portray them in our movies, etc.

Better, look at how we react to wierd earthly critters!

Kids can find something wierd under a rock, then laugh and play with it. Adults will generally recoil in disgust.

I imagine the same sort of thing could happen with non-toxic aliens.

Now that IS a good point SJ. Any other thoughts before I break the main point out in the open?

I have a lot of thoughts. But my mommy told me to wait until I know the whole story. Before I voice my opinion.

Not that I really ever listen to her, when I was much much younger! The older I get. The smarter she becomes!

SJ, excelleent points! By the way.
