Yes, but the point is that there is this thing we like to call "hope".
I choose optimism in this case.
A smaller planet(an "Earth-like" one) is far more likely to harbor life-supporting conditions than ones the size of Jupiter! I don't care what anyone says, its still an exciting thing to know about. One discovery of many we still have to make, but who cares? It's a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Yes, i get your point.... but why not? I think even 'aliens' could be curious....

But why would they visit over and over again? Or what about cattle mutilation. And what's with anal probing?

These are all stupid things you see in TV. Do you research ET's? They don't walk around probe people and take cows away. They are much more deeper then that.

Ya exactly..... if they exist and if they visit, it's not to sit down and talk and play cards with the local gossipers.......

Thanks for that reply.
