Profile: UK_Gazza

Personal background
My name is Gary Scott, I'm 32 years old and I'm from Derby in the UK. I work in IT and graduated from university in 1999 with a degree in Computer Studies.
I'm a big Derby county fan. For those who live outside the UK, thats our local football team (or soccer for you Americans out there). We are nicknamed 'The Rams' and play at Pride Park. We're not doing too well at the moment though.
My interests are very varied. I don't have one particular hobby as such. I love swimming, I read a lot and I started playing the guitar at the start of the year. I also love to learn. I don't mind what it is really as long as I feel that I'm expanding my mind.
I have a few pet hates too which include spiders, driving/drivers and people who think they know what they're talking about but don't.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
When I heard about Seti, I thought it was great. That I could actually be a part of something that could change the world. I don't think we will find anything out there though, at least not in my lifetime anyway. That doesn't mean I don't think there is intelligent life out there, I do. It's just that if I were an advanced alien looking at the earth, I would see a race of creatures hell bent upon destroying their environment, the other creatures they share their planet with and themselves.
As for the theory that we may be putting ourselves in danger by sending out information about us and where we can be found in the universe, I can't help thinking that any peace loving aliens that arrive here are the ones that are putting themselves at risk.
I honestly don't think the human race is ready to make contact with ET. If we can't live together without fighting amongst ourselves, then what chance does an alien stand?
