It says they've received orders from headquarters to remove content I'm not supposed to see, so I can't read it, not that I'm in contact with aliens, but I was wondering what I should do if they contact me.

Anyone in contact with aliens really needs to read this post

I am of the opinion that an ET race, at least one capable of interstellar space travel, could not possibly be evil or negative.
My reason is simple. I believe that there is no way that an evil race or civlization would be able to come together and work together towards a goal. Say for instance, getting off a planet. You know, kind of like what us humans are doing right now? We are never going to get off this planet without DRASTIC changes because everyone is selfish and for themselves, especially the people in control of our race. We gave up on space travel and working towards a common goal long ago for quick profits. For this reason I believe that generally humans are an evil race, not all, but most of them.
This is how I picture an evil alien race.
The problem is when the anal probing involves more than a prostate exam, and they leave something behind like they did in the South Park episode "Cartman gets an Anal Probe":

if giving someone a free prostate exam against their will is not peaceful, i don't know what is.
anal probing.

Well IF ET's do exist, then a universal law is also known that for every action their is an equal an opposite reaction. Which means that evil and good must co-exist to survive. The Ying and the Yang.
kronos11Starting with my intimate knowledge of them I can confidently say that ETs CAN NOT be evil by the rules of universal law.

Like how both the U.S, and the Germans were both working towards producing a nuclear bomb in WW2 - both of these countries have been called evil, but at that time, the Germans would be called 'evil' a lot more than the U.S. The Germans nearly produced the bomb, working together quite efficiently, and how many people think the Nazi's benign? The Germans were stopped, by a daring raid on the facility producing heavy water, in which they (I think it was British soldiers in Norway but not certain) bombed the facility, but the Germans were not far away from a working bomb.
The Spanish sailed to the 'New World', and eradicated the culture of quite advanced people. Were the actions of the Spanish good, or could what they did be termed evil?
I feel your argument does not take into account the fact that humans are quite effective at plannng and delivering evil actions. Was the final solution a good thing? Pol Pot and the Cambodian genocide, and successive fascist coups in South America.
Do you thnk if humans become capable of interstellar or intergalactic travel, to a similar degree like inter-continental travel 400-500 years ago, they would not repeat the same colonialist behaviour of their predecessors? We, as a species are quite good at planning and delivering evil actions - if we become able to travel to the stars, then we will possibly be evil ETs, particularly in the eyes of any alien race being subjugated.
What makes you think an alien civilisation would not be capable of these behaviours?edit on 17-10-2013 by cuckooold because: (no reason given)

Thankfully, at Armageddon . . . ALL the remaining evil doers WILL be wiped off the planet . . . along with evidence of their existence.
