why is it that whenever someone is abducted by aliens they just happen to be stupid, ugly rednecks who have no friends?

don't think a single person with money or friends has ever been abducted hmm...

Well, an obvious one that comes to mind is Whitley Streiber- well to do with a wife & child and plenty of friends. One might want to debate Streiber's honesty, though...

Then there's the Betty & Barney Hill case. The original abductees who set the pattern for nearly every case that came after. They were an intelligent, well to do couple with strong ties to family and friends.

I'm not arguing for the reality of this phenomina, just against your poorly researched stereotype.

some say 'abductions'

some say 'dating service'

oh sorry, I'll get right on researching this topic so I can have a more informed opinion. I'll also do some research on the easter bunny and santa claus.

LOL....You funny, Dolly!!!

Hahaha... so you're defending being ill-informed?

I'm saying researching this topic would be pointless.

If you want to think aliens go around in their super advanced space crafts giving rednecks anal probes, go ahead.

Well, as I said, I wasn't arguing for the validity of the topic- just that your statement was basically... well... wrong.

yeah - he is a writer who specializes in blurring the lines between reality and fiction. i dont believe a word of it.

as far as the redneck thing ... the UFO sightings/abductions were far more commonly being reported in rual areas .. which makes sense because in an urban setting there would be too many people present to deny your claims.

the arguement would be that aliens would avoid cities - and i think certain folks have taken that ball and ran with it.

i know that not all rural folks are 'rednecks' (and i admit to being one to use that term more liberally than i should - because of personal experience) but from my point of view when you combine 'rural' .. with 'crazy enough to try to convince people you're an abductee' the image of an inbred hillbilly does come to mind.

actually i wouldnt mind the conversation changing focus to 'what makes a person a redneck' because thats more interesting to me than phony aliens ... and something i've though a lot about.
