text always works better with an additional mode of communication.

I used to write a 15 second song or jingle to go with each post, but it got a little time-consuming.

But this is why threads here really never progress, because each individual doesn't seem to be willing to give flexibility to ponder another viewpoint. People are too quick to try and defend their egotistical bubble, when often the bubble is not even being attacked.
I don't think it's a matter of defending our bubbles. I ponder the questions asked and if they don't fit into logical constructs then I'll argue why I think they're fallacious; if there's a problem with the proposition then there's no point in progressing with it until it's fixed. Part of being flexible is being able to disagree with a proposition.
I'm here to learn - sometimes I do but not as often as I'd like too without these obstructions. Truly ask yourself - why are you here?
I'm here because I enjoy philosophy and more specifically, the more obscure philosophies this community offers up, but not necessarily to agree with them.
The reality bubble comment struck me as incredibly comical coming from you. Should I make the same cynical metaphors about your beliefs in aliens? It's never about protecting egos in philosophy, but examining each postulate to guarantee the most precise answer we can know.

I think some people like to debate over philosophy. They like to try and prove if something is real or if it makes sense and so on. I think other people just like to hear peoples thoughts and explore them for the fun of it and dont like the idea of challenging someone else's beliefs. I think both groups may have a hard time understanding each other and probably sometimes even offend each other. There are people here who communicate in a different way to me, and I don’t always agree with the way they do it, just like im sure they don’t always (or possibly ever ) agree with the way I communicate. But in the short time ive been reading these posts they have helped me to realize some important things and I have actually changed a fairly fundamental view point of mine. So to me, these discussions are preety cool!

I'm afraid you have made assumptions. I don't believe in aliens because I don't believe anything.
I just state what I and millions of others have seen - which is that I have seen a highly advanced craft landing that I don't think is likely to be human technology.
This could be assumed a reality bubble, but it is actually an observation. Its the same as me saying that a flame is hot. Most that have touched the flame would agree although you can debate forever about what the flame is, what the hot feeling is etc Clearly nothing can be proved 100%
That why the statement "I think therefore I am" was made. Its the root point of truth - anything else is best guessing.

The statement "I think therefore I am" is fake and doesn't make any sense. It has no logic. It's a biased assumption. Tell me, how does thinking can prove one's existence?

Good question, BUT Its the only solid root. Every indivdual KNOWS that they are THINKING. What else is there that is solid and not debatable?
Now you try to debate the fact that you are thinking...
Tell me, are you thinking or are you not thinking!!!??

The issue here is not about the existence of thinking, there are means through which we determine the existence of it, machines which measure our brain activity and so on. HOWEVER. "I think therefore I am" is trying prove that we exist by solely the fact that we think. And my question addressed to you was not whether or not we think, but how does the fact that we think is a prove for our existence?

If you are thinking then you must be something.
It proves your existance because you yourself know that you are thinking/exerience.
You don't know that anybody else is, so that can't be proved.
The machine cannot prove we are real because whats to say this is the true reality!?
Do you think that thinking is not prove of reality?
'I think therefore I am' is saying that the only true fact is that you yourself know you are thinking/experiencing.

I personally stopped because I found the one I love.
If that's true then that would have been your main reason to begin posting here. Of course once one finds "true love" then all physiological and spiritual questions are answered for all time. That's just how life works.

OK.

That is not what millions of others have seen. That is a personal judgement (a chasm jump) based upon minimal information. One cannot look at a hull and tell point of origin.
And of course, of these millions of people that have seen these craft up close, not one has a decent camera that can take a clear picture...

That's only because Hyper Spatial Elves leave no marks, I thought it was a well known fact.

That is a good metric for 'true love'. 
When I meet my next soulmate and I still do not undertand the Universe, I can call off the wedding with no regrets.
