Maybe this is why they find us so interesting. They want these emotions back and are slicing our DNA into their creating a hydrid. (your quote)
Really? Do you think they would want them back? It seems to me that emotions (and emotional responses) are responsible for a lot of pain for human beings.
Considering the present state of our world, I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to devise a way to REMOVE emotions from us (would that be DNA?). This would make us easier to control.....kind of like a global lobotomy....
I guess then we would either have peace......or we just wouldn't care?

Your very first line.
I'd lay odds the drake equation is far to low, that there are millions of self aware beings here in our own galaxy.

A lack of benevolence does not imply malevolence
Perhaps for the most part they would be neutral viewing the Earth as just one relatively minor point of interest

What is with these audacious sweeping claims that people come up with, especially something like this which is so subjective and hypothetical. I guess it's just an attempt at getting a rise out of folks.
The fallacy here is that your assumption is based on the behavior of a species (US) who not only still burns fossils for fuel and behaves with very little collective regard for the future but pardon my language, hasn't learned to wipe it's ass correctly. I don't think it's possible to equate our model of destruction and discovery with the success of an intergalactic species.
In any event, I am 100% percent certain that you are incorrect because I know someone who I trust implicitly that has had encounters and his only side effect from the experience was improved health and rediscovered love for himself and humanity.

Is it too hard for you to stay on topic? I mean, really. This is why I generally don't post here and stay away from this forum.

Are not aliens the topic and their existence or do I need to work on reading comprehension?
It's no wonder you do not like posting being so sarcastic to those who reply.
The topic is at the very top of the page you #ing twit.

Almost each one of your paragraphs began denying the possibility. It seems clear to me you were denying advance benevolent beings existence. At every turn you shot that possibility down or said they'd never show themselves.
There is no need to be rude or snotty implying my reading skills need improvement because I posted.

What makes you think highly spiritual aliens unlike me, the evil, so horrible person, would not really do the same to humans, i.e not harm them?
It is possible, there is no reason to think they are necessarily that hostile, they could be neutral as well.
And yet again I would point out the obvious that we are space-faring creatures ourselves, so we can at least entertain some sort of ideas on what intelligent ET may be like, based on ourselves.

seeing as we have never encountered any ETs we cannot determine if they would be benevolent or not

In the poster's defense i, too, thought you didnt really "get" it. The poster never denied the existence of ETs, just of benevolent intelligent ETs, benevolent meaning non violent and loving, a species with the purest intention of love and peace towards other species of the universe. Idk maybe im not getting something here either but there is no evidence in the topic post that the poster denies the existence of ETs.
