I would just start laughing, then laugh some more and finally... show the alien a hentai website, followed by German porn and top off the tour with the tale of human history a bonfire and some drinks ! Then while the earth is being destroyed, spam and overload their nav computers with 4chan and more porn! Laughing all the way, hohoho !

Greetings, oh alien visitors. Well, you want to know if my race is worth saving? Since I have no idea what your moral code is based on, or by what criteria this will be decided, how about I just come completely clean and suggest you visit the chan boards. Have a peek into what unfiltered raw human thinking really is.

Go ahead... I'll wait here while you look. Oh! Be sure to pay especially close attention to /b/, they're pretty much the apex of our species thanks to anonymity and no filters whatsoever.

So, how will we be going then. Disintegration?

An excellent response. If some species thinks they're in a position to judge though well we're in trouble. They already consider themselves our superiors. What can you say to sway someone who thinks himself to be better than you are? Not a lot.

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.
Trying to find out what they respect or want and offering that seems to be the best idea. In the very least we can make servants and foot soldiers for their glorious campaigns.

Lets compare scientific theories. See if we can help each other out. We have lately been working on something we like to call string theory.

If they are aggressive, just tell em Mars has more natural resources and is easier to launch spacecraft from.

Personally, I do not think humanity was going to do anything good any time soon. But since I could not bare killing so many people I would show the miracle of life and art and music.

Take them to the infant ward of a hospital and ask "Why are these children undeserving of life? Lifes that committed nothing but being here. They are the future and one of them could change humanity forever.

Oh, you sly fox!


I guess without knowing much about the alien/race I would have to guess the right answer, I would probably refer to our art, music and maybe food (maybe they like "foreign" food^^), since they didn't nuke us on the spot, which suggest that they have, which suggest that they have a basic interest in other cultures. But I would conceal some of our modern "accomplishments"..(you know.. like barf on a canvas or some specific pop titles)

I'll look at the aliens, then I'll gaze upon humanity.

I'll look at the whores, crooks, and liars in charge. I'll look at the companies who decided that giving those in charge huge piles of money to oppress people by stagnating wages as if it were a good thing, I'll look at the police who decide that being paramilitary to fight a war they know they can't win, and I'll look at those to decided that a 2000 year old book that doesn't relate to modern life is the ultimate answer for everything, then I'll look back at the aliens, and I'll tell them "No"

I'd show them a sun set, a new born child, Mozart's piano concertos, a random act of kindness being preformed and a pair of lovers first kiss.

And if that didn't work, I'd give them a cup of tea. Because tea solves everything.

Tell them to go put people in a situation where they have to choose the "good" or "bad" paths. People usually will choose the good path.

You can pick up an assault rifle and blow those judgmental and presumptuous creatures to kingdom come. That'll change their minds real quick.
