I agree. I would be very surprised if the observable universe contained no advanced life, and probably roughly as surprised if any advanced life was found elsewhere in our galaxy.
There's at least one planet and a dust belt around proxima centauri, which is literally the closest star to us. That'd probably be a good initial target. Probably won't happen, because we're a pathetic excuse for an advanced species and are too busy cutting bits of our genitals off.
You could argue that life on earth was 'primitive' (e.g. the literal meaning of the word, being similar to ancestors) up until maybe 600 million years ago or so. The explosion of multicellular life after the Cambrian resulted in life that is definitely not primitive.
Any advanced civilisation worth its salt would be extremely interested in Earth's biosphere.
My own opinion is that if advanced civilisations are up there, they are very far away indeed. Probably not even in our galaxy. And maybe we should be thankful for that.
It has always amazed me that morons like you believe that a more advanced civilization needs for us to broadcast our presence in order for them to find us.
Any civilization that is a threat to us will know that we're here without our help. If we do find an intelligent exoplanet civilization in the local neighborhood (let's say, within 5000 ly), we'll likely know about them well before we're technologically able to leave our own solar system.
You're petty easily amazed. So how exactly do they find us then? Telepathy? The Yellow fucking Pages?
It's 'pretty decent' for us, because we are adapted to these conditions. Life from another planet would probably find Earth to be at least partially uninhabitable. They are very unlikely to be able to breath out mix of atmospheric gases.
Detecting our signals would be very, very difficult and would require a gigantic receiver. Don't see it happening tbh.
One guy. Christopher Steele. He has credibility. People take him seriously. He has produced solid results in the past and has a huge network of credible contacts.
You, on the other hand, don't have credibility, because you're the type of stupid cunt who believes Donald fucking Trump.
Yeah. China's leadership boils down to tyranny/totalitarianism but you cannot deny they seem to actually know what they're doing. The US, on the other hand, elects a fucking babbling manchild. The UK votes to leave the EU. Both horrific self-inflicted injuries that the Chinese are laughing their asses off at.
Nothing like that is needed. Simply fine an appreciable percentage of revenue. 10% for first offence would be a good level. Go up in increments of 10% after that.
Won't happen, because 'lobbying' as a fig leaf for endemic corruption is completely acceptable.
Of course, this would all come unstuck if the people started voting for people who might change all this, but that won't happen either.

Shoes, maybe? Perhaps they'll invent things you can put on your head if it's cold, or something.
I reckon for the foreseeable future we can file 'change planetary orbits' under 'non-trivial problems'.

I'm all alone....
Well (1) it isn't actually tidally locked, and (2) it doesn't have an atmosphere to speak of, so what would the 'wind' be made of?
I looked it up, but it just says you're a dickhead.
It's a bit early to get excited about it.

There are no resources on our planet that would not be available much closer to them. Yawn, boring
A billion miles? It's 6.466e+13 miles. A lot more than a fucking billion. Saturn is roughly a billion miles from the sun.
Every extrasolar planet ever seen is 'too far' you mong. Distance is fucking relative.

You think Africa is a country do you?
Holy shit, you're stupid.
That's the most painfully obvious troll I've seen in ages. Try fucking harder.
I think he's annoyed that the US has been sold off to rich, rent-seeking dickheads. I can see his point to be honest.

I'm planning on marrying a supermodel. Think it will work?
If you're sufficiently rich, of course.
Nothing like that is needed. Simply fine an appreciable percentage of revenue. 10% for first offence would be a good level. Go up in increments of 10% after that.

Two bald men fighting over a fucking comb.
Trump knows all about computers. You betcha. Chinese computers are a hoax.
Do you also address real arguments, or mainly just stick to this pathetic strawman shit? It's a bit sad, to be honest.
We are talking Nigeria here. I think there might be some corrupt taxi drivers.
Lead by example then mate.
