This evening I was in a heated discussion with Americans over who runs their country. The President or the Space Aliens pulling the strings. This one chap was convinced that Space Aliens were real and above the US Government and President. And they called all the shots...
Do Space Aliens really exist?

What is it with all these new members starting these inane threads?
It's a silly idea. Why would they bother?
In any case, there's no evidence for it. A person might as well believe that dragons disguised as squirrels secretly rule the world. There's no less evidence for that.
There might or might not be people of other species elsewhere in the universe. We've no evidence of it, but it is a possibility. We know that the possibility of people existing is not zero and we know that the universe is a very big place. It might, for example, contain dragons that could disguise themselves as squirrels.
It's possible, though far less likely because of the size of the universe, that one or more species of people from elsewhere (if there are any) are aware of the existence of humanity.
But if they had such spectacularly advanced technology that they could come here, why would they be ruling from behind the curtain in a way indistinguishable from them doing nothing at all?
Besides, everyone knows that the world is run by the council of faeries and werewolves.

If anything I'd have said Clinton was the alien. With all the bizarre looking fake smiles, weird waving to people she pretends to know in the audience and the way she has to be helped away to 'recharge' I'd say she's a prime candidate to have a little Arquillian inside her head.
Nah it's obviously Trump, the give away is the complete lack of filter between his brain & his mouth, clearly the Arquillians translator is on the blink.

Was this "heated discussion" over the internet by any chance?

Sorry, wrong meme

What do you mean there is no evidence, my D&D Monster Manual clearly says Dragons have access to the polymorph spell and everyone knows Dragons polymorph into small animals to bland it.
the bigger question is whether we are all part of a larger computer simulation, top scientists and philosophers from around the world believe there is a 50% chance we are all part of a larger simulation
the next logical question would be who or what is running the simulation?
