I'm watching some specialist videos
Aren't 2 legged herbivores better known as vegetarians?
I always thought that there was something strange about them - now I know. They are the advance scouts for an alien race. :eek:
I think I've seen these movies before. Battlefield Earth and Independence Day. Also Mars Attack and E.T., yes, yes I did say E.T. was a dangerous alien life form!
Besides I've played enough video games with hostile aliens to know what to do to eradicate them. As well as there is always the possibility of stocking up on water guns and squirting them with water to kill them.
He needs to modify his wheelchair as he done in the simpsons otherwise he's got no chance against the aliens, I think that's what worries him the most

Unless the aliens are like the Reapers from Mass Effect. I kinda doubt water guns would do much damage against space-ship sized robot aliens that wipe out all organic existence every now and then.
The first 2 instincts living things we understand have are to survive then thrive. Assuming a life form was sophisticated enough to deliberately make contact with us you'd have to assume their instincts would be the same.
The usual order of relationships between living things is either predator, prey, host or companion.
I wouldn't think it useful for a sophisticated species to be naturally hostile to earthlings. Unless we represented a threat to their survival or were essential to their ability to thrive. Looking at intelligent human life forms (for example) as a food source isn't really logical IMO.
Just because one being is superior to another (which would most likely be the case in where aliens made contact with us) doesn't automatically mean you become their prey. Just because we would likely be inferior doesn't foreclose the likelihood that we would be far more useful to them as companions. We are superior in most useful ways to dogs or cats and they're not our prey. Their companion existence enriches our lives in many cases. Also it is the rare exception that even dumb animals raid their resources to depletion. Besides if their taste preference or need is organic flesh or bone there a many other earthlings that fit that bill and probably taste better to them (I mean really, Rosie O'Donnell's snatch or a porter house? Any "intelligent" life form can make that decision :o).
If we assume they would be superior intellectually, why wouldn't we assume they would act accordingly and consistently? We could assume their calculus is different from the way our cycles of logic or instinct generally operate and that would be the only real caveat in making contact.
BTW, I was abducted by aliens once. Just kidding....hmmm or am I?
Your assuming they would operate on some basis that makes biological sense for us. Your assuming they would operate on some basis that makes logical sense at all. Your also assuming they don't have any emotional tendencies at all. Maybe they are just jerks. Maybe they are amoral and we would just be a quick easy speedbump they have to get over for them to utilize and discard us. Maybe they will have some strange religion that calls for our enslavement or extermination. Maybe they will just be evil.
Even if that chance is slim, even if contact only had a 20%, 10%, or even a 5% chance of making humanity get exterminated it wouldn't a chance I would take.
It's a negative nancy like yourself that will end up getting half the country killed! Now turn that pessimism upside down and get optimistic!
We will fight these aliens and show them exactly what Earth is made of!
All we have to do is elect Bill Pullman as President!
WHAT!?! The man obviously sleeps with children that's well documented in this particular documentary and he watches Letterman!!! Now, if this is the man you want leading your nation then fine, be my guest. But don't come crying to me when the communists rape your mother because I'll do nothing more than laugh in your face!

Let us not forget that it was Jeff Goldblum who penetrated the mothership and inseminated it with his hot virus.

Yeah...after I explained the logical points associated with our understanding..I accounted for what you say.

O-Qua Tangin Wann and the Biaviians are friendly. But we gotta be careful around the Targzissians and Skreed, you see.

i see alien contact with us, or lack thereof, going one of three ways 1)we are so inferior they don't consider us worth their time, 2)we are considered a possible threat and exterminated, 3)we have something they need (some element or whatnot) and they take it. as for the possibility of companionship and a mutual evolution...we can't even deal with our own species with civility, for this reason i doubt any aliens would consider us as possibly being a worthy companion.
If a spaceship landed in front of me, I'm not making any contact with it.

If there is one thing Star Trek has taught me, it's that the best way to respond to first contact is with lead that travels at high speeds.
I vote we send Earth Ambassador Jayden Jaymes to simply walk up, turn around and bend over. Instant interstellar peace.

How do you know they won't just kidnap her? If old B movies with space aliens has taught me anything it's that they like to take beautiful women. We would be doubly hurt then because they would get what they want and we would be left without her.
