Aliens May Consider Earthlings To Be Pretty Good People Compared To Others They've Met

I hear again and again...If aliens are smart enough for interstellar travel then they're smart enough to steer clear of we war mongering humans. But it may be that in the grand scheme of things we humans aren't such a bad bunch.
After all the vast majority of us are not waging war or commiting acts of violence. And for the most part we're an empathetic, caring bunch. Most of us exist peacefully with our neighbors and coworkers. We love our families and cherish our friends. And we are capable of unexpected heroism when the need arises. So maybe the aliens, who presumably know more about other planetary civilizations than we do, know that we are a promising group, worthy of their time and effort. And perhaps as with us they have their own bad apples as well and understand that doesn't negate the goodness of the majority.

That could be the case.

Or maybe we taste better than others they have meet.

I read the OP, wrote a reply, deleted it because I didn't want to go there and here you are posting that so let's go with my original reply...

Bad Taste is about a four-man government department unit, the Astro Investigation and Defense Service (AIDS), facing off against a whole town's worth of aliens, who invaded the fictional New Zealand town of Kaihoro and plan to harvest humans for their intergalactic food franchise. However, one of the men begins to go insane.

Directed, written, produced, photographed, co-edited by and co-starring Peter Jackson.

Yea.. the guy who would later go on to direct little things like Lord Of The Rings.

And then there's that.
And if any aliens are reading this... I'm way too spicy... wouldn't agree with you.

Your avatar looks pretty appetizing.

Is it summer again?

This is a good point IMO - and I agree.

The long-held narrative that ET wouldnt find us interesting could just be more garbage to hold us down. No scaling us against the cosmos - just “us” and “them”. We could actually be really good relative to a lot of the “them” out there.

This also suggests that the narrative that “they” would find us uninteresting is just trickery to align with the “we haven’t found life outside of this planet” narrative. Make us primitive relative to “them” and say they would never come see us on that basis - one more reason they’ve never been here or seen them officially. All in support of the cover up.

And people play right into it for some reason. People are wondrous. Accept it.Take me, for example. (Sorry. Couldn't help myself)

Makes sense.

I was just thinking this:



"Mr. Chambers, don't get on that ship!"

I think the extraterrestrials are really into our casinos and gambling. I think they are just here to observer us.

My thinking is there are several civilizations taking in all the data, calculating odds, and betting on whether or not the human race destroys itself and by which method.

We are not food. We are reality TV or entertainment for the technologically advanced species.

And we're funny (Ha Ha funny). The UFOs our Navy pilots observed seemed to be behaving in a playful manner...following the planes...showing off...zooming up and down...and maybe our humor and playfulness is something 'they' value and appreciate.
Perhaps the ability to experience humor and enjoy play is something that sets some species apart from other...and it's a marker specifically sought out by our visitors.

Ok, we can agree that most people just want to live in peace. But who controls our nations, laws and what to do if aliens show up?? Is it peacefull people or warmongers? Who keeps voting these warmongers in, and who does NOTHING to stop the madness (other than keep voting every 4 years).

Yes, most are peacefull people, but they keep election warmongers to represent them. Those are the same people who are gonna represent us, if we make alien contact, ...the warmongers... ...a choise made by the "peace" lovers...

in the grand scheme of things, we might not be so bad yet, but only because we still are stock on this planet. So we can only look at how we behave towards other species here on earth. So what do we do to other species on this planet?
We kill and destroy them! Make them go extinct! So how peacefull are we really?

We would be so far behind any species that is capable of interstellar travel, that communication with them properly would be hard, would we be able to understand them, from their point of view?

What if those aliens have sex with their children? Or does some other stuff that is normal to their culture, something that we dont accept in ours? We dont even like our own human culture, and kill each other over it ALL THE TIME!!!

I may be wrong, but i sincerly doubt that any intelligent species out there, would want to have anything to do with us, until we have evolved further, and learned to live in peace with our own neighboors, here on this planet.
Everyday this planet becomes more and more divided, you would properly spend your time much better, worrying about who youre gonna be at war with next, and how much more innocent life that is gonna be destroyed because of that - that is, if youre one of those peaceloving people you talk about, else nvm.

I think two things brought them here.... our Flat earth which was easier to land on, and PEZ...... since we are the only planet in the universe that has them..... oh and bacon, there's that.....

Can you please provide some links or qoutes from people, to show that "long-held narrative that ET wouldnt find us interesting"? I have NEVER heard about that, and i find this subject very interesting myself, so would like to read about that.

I dont think many people believe that though, I personally think they would find us very interesting. Just dont believe they would contact us yet, for as long as they can avoid it - other than to maybe say "stay out of space".
And again i dont believe they would make themself known to the janitor, no matter how much of a nice guy he is. They would go to our queen/ruler, whomever that might be. And we all know that the rulers dont like to keep secrets, and they tell us everything, so we can make an informed decision when we vote, right? Else it would be to easy for 200 russian trolls to convince the entire USA to make trump president, based on fake news...
People are stupid, and iam not talking about dems or reps or any other group, iam talking about all of us, as in HUMAN BEINGS ARE EFFING STUPID! If i was them, i would much rather go talk to a dolphin or a dog, or almost any other animals than human beings...

There are reports around that some of these aliens look just like humans. When it comes to dealing with some of these more negative alien influences their is some indications of support around. Having a civil social structure for the most part helps establish trust and something work fight for.

Ok, that movie was amazing. Thank you for bringing it into my life.

The sheep bit towards the end was absolutely wonderful.

If you're a Monty python, Rambo and 80s zombie film fan, then this movie is for you.

Apparently, the U.S. Government knows about the aliens visiting Earth, and isn't worried about them. Certain U.S. Senators and President Trump have received a highly classified briefing on the subject.

How highly classified is it, if you know about it?
