Jeremiah25 has it right, we are rather close minded when we think of an invasion, I highly doubt they would be. As bad of a comparison as it may seem, I think they said it quite well in the movie The Faculty. That movie was about a high school in some quiet town that was taken over by an alien through planting small parasites in your ear. The line I was getting at was something about if you were an alien race, would you attack the planet by landing on the white house lawn, or would you slip in through the back door where no one is looking and have little or no fight. If anyone else has seen this, please clarify for me. I think that kid had it right on.
The war of the worlds movie portrayed the aliens killing us one by one. It's rather funny, if you wanted to destroy an ant colony, would you shoot each ant individually while allowing all the other ends time to run? Or would you just spray the colony with "insecticide" or something similar and simply annihilate it in seconds?
Or, what if they need us for something, what better way than to establish a system of control that's designed to keep us asleep and unaware and oblivious to the reality of our predicament, and this system would be designed to generate exactly what the aliens want from us without us even realising it? So we would be like a cow herd, we'd not even realise what is our purpose and what our entire life is really designed for. In the case of cows, it's just food. Maybe this is not so different either?
What's interesting is, when you think about the food chain, predator and prey, when you start moving up to humans, who are the top of the food chain on this planet (as far as we know), our way to kill animals is not the natural "predator and prey" scenario. Because we have brains, we can make animals think they're not prey at all, and kill them in such a way that they don't know it's coming, and the rest of them have no idea that they are being grown and exterminated for our needs. So while generally in the animal world the prey are aware of the existance of predators, when it comes to humans, animals tend to have absolutely no idea, we do it intelligently, we control their entire existance and then take them out one by one when we need them, and they are completely unaware of what's going on, they don't even know that we ARE predators or a threat at all, which is exactly the way we like to keep it.
The same could very well be true if you continue the food chain to a level above us. This whole planet could be just a giant chicken farm, and we'd not know it. We could be simply a "resource" to be grown and cultivated, and we'd have absolutely no idea about it, just like our chickens and our cows are oblivious to the reality of their predicament. And in order to help maintain the system, we're given things like religions and other lies to keep us believing in illusions and therefore unaware of the reality. So while we're busy making assumptions and generally are kept constantly busy with our every day lives, our greater existance could very well be simply a one of a crop that is cultivated and collected when needed.
In fact, I think this is exactly what is happening..

WOW, that really inspired me, I had many opinions, but this one got me really thinking, the way you explain it makes it all so clear, it could be happening right now without us even be aware of it, but one thing I must say, we grow cows for our own needs, but they don't have a culture and the intelligence humans do, they probably aren't aware that they or grown to be eaten, they don't have weapons or anything like that, but on the hand, our weapons and all our knowledge could be useless againt a high form on the food chain, I'm glad i read your reply, the best I read till now on ATS

I do not know if anything will happen in 2012. I really doubt it, but I am confident that Earth will never see an alien invasion of the type popularised through Hollywood. It simply does not make much sense when you sit and think about it, at least in my opinion. What do you guys think?

I'm tempted to go with Jeremiah25's take on this. I would add......
It is said that any other civilisation with the ability to travel to another civilisation is far more technologically advanced than us by default.
Couple this to the probability that given the state of play peace/conflict-wise on the Earth with OUR current tech', they would likely be more spiritually evolved than us as well (- not that difficult, eh?).
Otherwise they would have destroyed themselves.
So they would have transcended any NEED to conquer other worlds, since they understand that we All are One.
I wager that it will never happen - either we destroy ourselves, wake up (we'd better hurry!!!), or pray to be RESCUED from ourselves by aliens! - are there any more options?........

With all the talk surrounding this particular date, and it's meaning, i have read that this is the year, 22 december 2012, apparently that the final alien invasion will occur on earth.
I say "final" because, we are, or, have been supposedly, already been invaded already!
Does anyone have more info on this particular date, and the alien invasion, and has anybody heard THIS before?

If the introduction will be in 2012 or not I couldn’t say, but I bet we’ll get quite a few hinters before the big day. When the time comes I just hope humanity is mature enough to take care of our long way visitors in a proper and respectable manner. I have my doubts though…

Simply put the Chinese and (I belive) Mayan Calendars don't go beyond the year 2012.
No one knows why those calanders stop at 2012. Still kind of freaky cooincidence.

I think its important for Humans to solve Human problems, I don't think that Aliens have the right or the obligation to save us from ourselves. To me that doesn't make sense.

They do have that obligation if we are just a simple experiment of theirs.
If we do experiments on mice or other animals, and they develop into beings that can cause trouble for us humans, maybe they carry a dangerous virus that can be picked up by humans, maybe they become intelligent and act in a way they can harm humans..what do we humans do then? we destroy them.. its our obligation to other humans..
So...if we are an experiment, we became intelligent and we can form a danger to them who created us, why wouldnt they destroy us?
We place weapons in space, we can blow up our planet with nukes and that will affect at least our milky way and maybe even further into the universe they would suffer effects of it...
Then they MUST destroy us, it is their obligation to their people to keep them safe and take action if the experiment goes wrong and gets outta hand...
and right now, it is really getting out of hand, i dont know if we are an experiment, but what i do know is that we impose danger to other planets and thats prolly why they come to Earth.
But the question is then that if we are an experiment, and we evolved into creatures with intelligence and feelings etc etc, would their government or whatever leads them, give them permission to destroy the experiment or would they try to help us live in peace and stop being a threat to others?
Also note the UFO activity raised through the roof since we invented Nuke's
