If there are aliens why wouldn't they be peaceful? And to watch us destroy our planet and waste this massive natural resource would be detremental to them whether they are aggressive or not!
I still maintain whether Ahstar tales are to be believed or not the aliens out there are waiting for the right time as to not do more damage than good during first conatct.

By this I mean, if they are the high beings and they see humanity tearing itself apart, why would they not reveal themselves and help humanity. So far God and religion hasn't helped humanity. The gov'ts of the world haven't helped any and Now these craft and beings that people have seen leave no impact, .......what gives?

Wat i think is that if they have teheechnology to travel to this planet then they are obviously very intelligent and know that them announcing themselves to the whole plannet would throw it into chaos. Imagine for a moment what would happen if it was suddenly proven that aliens were here, it would really freak alot of people out.
Or they simply don't want to get involved with such a primitive race, we would probably try and nuke them or something.

One night I was talking with some friends about Aliens. I commented that if Aliens really have been visiting Earth that they are probably benevolent or "nice" since they haven't tried to exterminate us yet.

The chances that an alien race will be benevolent are probably the same as are the chances that an alien culture are malevolent and bent upon the destruction or enslavement of our people and planet.

In my mind, it is just as likely that an alien culture would be so far above humankind -- intellectually and on an evolutionary scale -- that they might not regard humanity as anything more than a troublesome bacteriological life form.

Benevolence or malevolence might not even be a philosophical issue for an alien viewing Earth. As far as they might be concerned, Earth might be viewed as lacking any intelligent life.

It is true that there are hostile extraterrestrials. But there are far less hostile extraterrestrials than there are hostile humans. By far less... regardlessly. Look up regardlessly to understand what I am saying... do so anyways....

Take a course in neurology my friend. Also take a course in human behavior. You'll learn a thing or two about why benevolence is far more common in more intelligent beings.

Please don't exaggerate your own intellect and display other people in the same regards as yourself. No is you except for you. What you are saying is that you don't know the intentions of human beings and because you don't know, no one else should know as well. But that would belittling the intelligence of other people and that can be called "discrimination." The discrimination upon the behalf of everyone except yourself within the regards of knowledge.
So I highly suggest you take a course in neurology and human behavior. It'll make you realize how wrong you seriously are.
You can also study human history, but some of it can easily just be changed to befit anyone in particular. Take the difference in Russian and French understanding on the history of the Principality of Andorra.

True, but they have been here for a very long time and have had an enormous length of time that they could easily wipe out humanity.
Why haven't they done such a thing?
Because if you read the bible, it says "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
www.biblestudy.org...
It is refering to the extraterrestrials... namely the Annunaki, which are refered to as the angels in the bible.
They cared about us alot, protected are weak species many times from the calamity of extinction, gave us religion and philosophy to better ourselves and in an attempt keep us away from declaring war on each other, and they have even grow so fond of our species (some extraterrestrial) that they even mate and marry humans.
Now how could you say such people were evil?
Humans oftenly depict something as evil, because they cannot understand them or they has always been an evil place onto such things. Like wolves... wolves are oftenly depicted as the helpers of Satan, but they are actually very different from such.
And in America, communists and muslims are oftenly depicted as agents of the anti-christ and thus should be feared and not allowed to participate with society.
Can you not understand what paranoia is?

Philosophy came from extraterrestrials. The understanding of right and wrong, came from extraterrestrials. They are more than our friends, they are our saviors.

From my experiences with the Grey's I will say there are good beings and bad beings just as we humans are good and bad so we do have to be careful.
