Ok , If I'd met an alien and if he /she / it? was friendly enough to give me technology, I'd ask for anitgravity, and a safe renewable energy source, I personally wouldn't ask for weapons, but some thing along the lines of free sustainable small power unit and and antigrav. So i could make a flying car that doesn't pollute.
I'd fly from home to work , and I'd do it everyday, I'd also wait for the media to come to me, I wouldn't go to them and then say to them all, get together at my work and I'll show you my flying car.
I'd then give them the schpiel about free nonpluting power, etc , and say we don't have to rely on fossil fuels anymore.
Yes I know the economy would suffer but only for a little while, the world wold get itself back into shapel.
the loudest voice would be from the Governments becasue they wouldn't be getting fat off the taxes they charge for fuel duty. The arabs wouldn't be making anymore money but they have enough already to last them a lifetime. And if the government tried to off me then it would show the world exactly what theyre capable off , and the people wouldn't stand for it.
We all too ready to have and want technolgy to kill each other, why let the aliens do it when we can do it ourselves, that way the aliens wont have to waste resources and their troops lives eh?. better to let infighting weaken an nme before taking the fight dont you think?

The aliens, in my opinion, shouldnt meddle with our planet.
But in my opinion we humans are not meant to have such high technology yet.
We have still lots of wars and conflicts and if even one person got this technology, he could do lots of destruction.
The technology is not meant for aggressive beings because it is so high that it could clean the beings out of their planet.
If we assume that U.S. government is hiding aliens.. If they said that "Hello, people of Earth. The U.S. Government has met alien visitors"
That would automatically mean that the aliens had advanced technology. Some countries would send spies to steal this technology and it might end up to terrorists. In a way U.S. government would be wise to hide the existence of aliens, but we dont know if they have plans to destroy lots of people or if the aliens have some plans.
But personally I believe that if aliens were here, they wouldnt be like humans; selfish, aggressive..
Because if they were, with such high technology they would have destroyed themselves or they would have already attacked the planet when they supposedly came.
Just theorizing. Do you think it is kinda good thing to hide the aliens? In a way it isnt, in my opinion, but all Im saying is that humans are not ready for such technology, we did not make it. Our motives are usually selfish or aggressive. What we fear, we usually hate too.
This is my first post and can I speculate here?

Not to be rude, but your opinion is irrelevant to the fact that they have been meddling for thousands of years. Tens of thousands, at least. (Read The Terra Papers linked in my sig.)

Meant to by whom...? Who defines when we are "meant" to have anything? Things progress as things progress. And yes... Some here have technology that most would never entertain the possibility that we could have it.

Oh yeah. I have heard that they might have customized our evolution too.
The point is that we are not evolved enough to make such technology. So in a way we are "not meant" to have it. Im not talking about any fateful decisions, but I cant find better term to describe it. To evolve in a point having such technology, we should survive our wars & crisis´ first.
I swear from the point the technology is known to exist world-wide, it will eventually leak by traitors and spies.. No matter what. And once it have leaked, more people have it meaning that the chances of human-extinction is much bigger. Imagine Al-Qaida having alien technology. Their so called holy war would become much bigger.
I agree that the "meant" is maybe the wrong word there. It is just not safe when aliens meddle with our world.
If U.S. government has alien technology, they maybe should announce it, but I then dont know. It is easy to trade your country for money.
This reason(tech leak) can be confirmed more with war of Iraq. The tech is too valuable to use there. One mistake and it could end up in wrong hands.
Btw, I think aliens are on Scientific Journey rather than a Conquering of Planets..
FYI... Humans are not warlike as a rule. But they have been led to war through religion, mainly, by some of the aliens.

I have to disagree. I have seen true nature of humans from kindergarden to war for oil.
Even if you have 2 kids, they will eventually fight to prove themselves or attain higher respect. Humans nature..
