   With all due respect, speaking to a human is like trying to speak to a brick   
   wall. It is also similar to having a cracked record playing in the   
   background.

   What makes you think I am ignorant of the appearance of aliens? What also   
   makes you assume I am human or altogether human? You make a lot of   
   assumptions and a lot of noise, but back those assumptions up with no real   
   facts and fail to go along another track away from the scratched part of   
   the record.
