First Contact? Don't think I will be first in line.

First contact with extraterrestrials may not be in our best interests. Everyone knows what happened when Europeans made contact with Native Americans, small pox spread throughout the tribes.

I just finished watching Alien Hunter (2003) and it got me thinking. I sure don't want to be first in line to shake their hand if they do land on Earth.

They may bring viruses and diseases that could wipe out mankind. Maybe that is why they haven't made contact. Or maybe we could infect them like in War of the Worlds (2005).

Does make you think though, right?

Personally, "To Serve Man! Its a cookbook!!!!!" comes to my mind. Dont think I will be first in line either.

i dont think using a space suit we could get any kind of disease

No!... no, you're reading it wrong, it'll be great when they come here.
Me, I'll be the hero in this movie, okay? you can be my side-kicks
who enjoy abit of humor at my expense okay?

I'll be good-looking, but serious, that way the chicks that don't wear
spectacles at the cinema will like me and....

Why oh why does this continue, "I saw a fictional movie and now
I can't tell what's real and what isn't!"
Aliens aint gonna come here, listen to your fellow ATSers, we're either:
A. Banned out of the Federation and therefore we have no evidence
they exist.
B. Are still in the juvenile stages of 'becoming' and therefore they
watch from 'cloaked' areas (just like Star Trek... weird nuh?) and
so we have no evidence.
C. Living among us (just like They Live... seeing a pattern yet?)
and they hold powerful jobs so they can 'sweep' up any evidence.
D. Our lives are so mundane that we yearn for someone from above
to come down make it better... or land on the White House lawn and
ask for me... yeah me, cos' I'm the hero in the movie.

They don't exist, no bright light, just a small garden trowel to shovel
this
