117. The Universe is vast, far beyond our understanding inspite of all our technological advances.
Fri Dec 13, 2024, 06:22 PM
Dec 2024

I don't know much about UFOs, but I also believe that it is within the realm of possibility that people from other worlds have made contact. Who am I to tell someone else that what they believe occurred did not happen? Your questions in your post, “What's it to you? Why are you so angry? Why do you censor this freedom we have to express our thoughts?" are questions that should be asked of all those who seek to hurt others, no matter what the topic is. In my opinion that is one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in, many people in our country are not willing to listen to differing viewpoints and respect others. We don't have to always agree. The caveat, of course, is as long as that viewpoint doesn't harm or disrespect others what does it hurt to listen without judgment? Thank you for speaking up for others, PCIntern. You take care.
