Do you enjoy living on planet Earth?
 

Another earth movie and end-time videos inspires us to discuss possibility of either replacement of Earth or getting extra planet to expand our options and living space where we could also evolve further or fixing current planet to 'get rid of bugs and errors'(so to speak). Also related question to movie is what would your reaction be if in one average day in your life you would receive info about another planet like ours just next to us? Would you be happy that we would have another place to live and travel to|from or extra happy because you wanted to live there long time ago leaving this mess behind or sad because that would probably won't help fix current planet? There are a lot of discussions about negative side of this story(disasters, alien invasion, punishment of God(s) etc.) already so why not speak about positive side of this story instead?

NO
I want to be on Magrathea , but WITH my digital watch and a bunch of little green pieces of paper .

The poll is too limited for me. Good links tho makes me think of Fringe and Portal 2 plus the fact that fiction comes from life also all things die so enjoy (sounds sadistic but that's all we get until that upload part?) ;)

:Edit.

The Earth would be a great place, if nobody were living on it.

no, but with the pre WWII population of about 1.5 to 2 Billion , it would be livable .

Right now I'd enjoy living Colorado.

Who built the Sheep you dream of?..
 

No, improve what we've got right here right now.

I saw the movie about 6 month ago. It is really unique.

One hundred "Another Earth" will be not enough to find in one of them a carefree and happy myself. So I remain on this :)

I would worry that its gravitational forces would kill everyone on Earth.

Its ok, but I wouldn't mind moving away - maybe to Falayalaralfali

This one? Looks fun but it took them 7 and half million years to calculate "42"! :D
That is why i put 'other' option as answer..
If nobody were living on it you wont be social and intelligent person that uses other people provided services. Pretty much jungle be out there without order. You think its great?
Maybe that is why they prepare for WWIII?
Europe is fine too atm.
I'm sorry to say this but we can't improve it anymore - we can only fix bugs and get rid of errors but we can't do much new improvements(unless we get rid of some private properties and government fields). Unless we make some disaster at cost of tragedy to make room for something new.
Heck Yea!
There is rumor going on that in past Mars was usable by humans and next planet after Earth that fits for us(for future needs) is Venus.
Why not live on some Earth island instead?

You'd better have voted for Ur Quan Masters in the current "Open Source Game of the Year" poll!

I missed the poll :redface:

--edit

No wait, poll is open.. phew... I just voted for the Ur Quan Masters :)

Moot question since there is no option. Enjoy the ride. Don't piss in the water supply.

Well it is much easier question to solve answer than Sun problem that's for sure. ;)

No, but I was sent here from the planet Xzsrewxsweiurkzx 4000 earth years ago, and my tour of duty lasts another 2000 years, so I have no choice. :cry:

this world can't be better than it is right now
no rose colored glasses here this world stinks from the stink of man kind
there is no evolution for man kind on the whole
people will never get any better than they are
there is only evolution for a few but only if they work on self evolution
for these few by changing themselves become bothered less and less by the machines called people

the next better place to live would be the sun good luck at pulling that one off

To infinity and beyond!

I beg to differ! World can be better we just need to wish and do something to achive improvements. One thing that needs fix is current system.

Hate to break it to you, but if there was nobody living on planet earth you wouldn't be alive to enjoy it.

For myself, I think that we need to stop building up big cities and instead spread out into smaller hamlets and villages. Major cities are part of the problem in our planet. In short, we need to decentralize and move back to the farm.

Not that I am saying that we should all be farmers, there will still be place for factories, stores, military, and yes, even computer geeks like us. ;)

If lucky we get to enjoy being the plague :cry: optimistically the cure? :scratch:

No and been wanting to leave for a long time. No joke

Yes, but I won't regret leaving. I'm only afraid I'll be back soon.

Earth is dirt and pollution. Full of.

I forgot... corruption too.

Happy Earth day reminder! Try not to be like this guy >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMj21OXBaCg <<

I truly hope that the human race never gets to screw up another planet!!

As a human you do mean Universe, right? :D

Well, I'd prefer to be back on Zeebob, but I lost my interstellar transport ticket. Damm...

I can't say I enjoy it -- I ought to since I'm well fed, had a good free education and live in a relatively safe country with moderately good services.
However, I am both intellectually aware of the hate and hopelessness that fills this planet and emotionally aware of having not much in common with most people -- neither of which I believe can be solved without my removal (still leaving the main issue:-P).

About the age of 10 or 11 I saw a sci-fi movie at the neighborhood theater that I do not remember the name of. The plot entailed aliens placing lots of satellites around our planet. The hero, a scientist, had to figure out the right code to send to the satellites within a week to stop them from wiping out the whole entire human race. At the end of the movie, in the nick of time, the scientist discovered a code. It was not the code to shut down the satellites; it was the satellite code that caused all the earth's evil people to fall down and die.

I finally decided to put in my vote, the only obvious choose is optimism so yes (minus the "i enjoy it as it is." should have picked "other opinion" oh well :)) But, I could see how less-lucky or younger minds may differ and some (like myself) could despise a few marketers for drinking (or locking up) the half full\empty vats of water.

But in reality it is both(half empty and half full) at same time or third option cause matter of perception. But i dunno yet how can we help planet reach cinema like society life..apart from going through dystopian or similar experience to reach utopia. But the problem is most people either don't want change or do not have opportunity to help.

People, let me tell you 'bout a place I know, to get in it don't take much dough
Where you can really do your thing
It's got a neon sign outside that says
Come in and take a look at your mind
You'll be surprised what you might find
Strobe lights flashing from sun up to sun down
People gather there from all parts of town
Right around the corner, you know it's just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

OK Shel Silverstein :D

I heard a girl in a dress
Say her face was a mess
I heard there's no reason why
I heard that now's the time to buy

On planet earth
I'll probably stay
On planet earth
It's a place to live your life

Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it won't rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well I lived all my life on planet earth

I have to agree with John VV, NO, I don't.

i would love it more if the government was not an iron fist in a velvet glove, and religion started losing followers because they woke up to what a load of bullshit it was

politics is treachery
religion is bullshit
