Show them the Escapist or Halolz. and if neither of them work we could show them what TF2 was like before it went F2P.
Depends on the alien psychology.
(1) We're not worth the ammunition.
(2) All species in the universe like humans as sex partners, right? Hey, we're open, we even like tentacles!
(3) We can dance! Dance, monkeys, dance! See how laughable we are?
(4) Saving us is spitting in the face of Death, which is the nature and glory of Life.
(5) We'd make great additions to your zoos, where your children can throw peanuts at us.
Honestly, no alien species considering destroying us would be swayed by Shakespeare or Beethoven or Confucius, or anything else "great" we've done or produced - let alone "Humans have the capacity to luuurve!". Best to try to appeal to their base natures, whatever those might be.

As of right now? I'd probably show them the immense and immediate support the community showed for Allison from EC. $70 grand in 3 days for a perfect stranger shows that there is good in humanity.

Argghh here comes the onslaught of people with "HERP DERP HUMANITY IS TEH SUXXORS!".
There are so many different stories that you could bring up which show humanity in good light, but apparently the people of this website love to be pessimistic, and only think of the bad ones. Only problem is that the feel good stories get much less coverage. They are out there though, and humanity as a whole is bigger and better than the negatives we see in the news.

Then kick him in his alien balls.AbundantRedundancy said:
Seriously through, you would really expect better from an "advanced" species. What kind of culture just goes around wiping out those that don't conform to their cultural standards. Especially when the ones that don't conform are locked onto a small little planet tucked away in another corner of the universe without a means to interact with them on any terms but their own.
Did I just inadvertently imply that people can't stop sticking there noses where they don't belong, and we would all be better off if they did stop? I think I did.
I would hold my hands up and say "Alright, you got me, we're not worth saving, but just so we're even, prove that Aliens are worth keeping around." It would give them enough time to think while we blow up their planet, and take them hostage, because we're humans.
Outside of Star Wars, how often do you see aliens and music together? It almost never happens, so they need us to bring it to them.gCrusher said:
Tell them to live on Earth for a year and pay attention to the small people, the details. If you look at people in power, governments, or corporations, then we're toast. If you look at the stranger who dives into a flaming car to save a child, at the townspeople who donated thousands of dollars to pay for a stranger's life-saving operation because he couldn't afford it (or the same thing that happened on this website), or the volunteers who run animal shelters, then we may stand a chance.
After a year, they should be able to answer their own question. What that answer is, I can't say.
