If they don't kill us all... I guess... we could probably become an expendable solider race? Aside from that, at the moment all we could offer is music. And I think most of us would agree, if that's true, we're done for.

I'd look them straight in the eye... or... whatever they have and tell them to prove that their species is worth keeping alive. Because if there's something we humans know how to do, it's kill stuff.

But If I had to answer the question properly, I'd probably tell them to speak to somebody else, because I am a pessimist and that is a hard question for me to answer.

"It's not, please take me with you, save me!!"
Fine, so I'm pessimistic. What's it to you?
If I absolutely have to be optimistic, then love is pretty nice. There, happy now??

Ask, "What do you gain by destroying us?"
If they have a good reason, hope they're gullible and ask what their weakness is.

Show them all the movies and games and books, etc, about aliens invading and say: We have got a plan to counter any possible attack you could make just from entertainment. Imagine what a military force with the firepower to destroy the world has come up with.

Kinda like this

I would sit down and show them a "documentary" called Doctor Who. The wait for them to pee their pants and leave. ;)

There mightn't even be a debate. This thread is going on the assumption that this Alien has seen and interacted with other alien races enough to take this kind of contact for granted. We could be their first sophisticated extra-terrestrial species. The real question is whether we are a good example of other civilized life forms, etc.

Why are you asking my opinion? The very act of doing so means that it has value to you. And I can assure you the Earth has produced and will produce, greater thinkers then I.

If I was humanity's only hope we're pretty screwed. I can't think of any compelling reason to preserve our existence.

"Yeah we've killed off prety much anything on this planet but don't knock it till you try it bro"

That doesn't really help us does it?

The only reason to not obliterate mankind as a whole could surface if someone tried.

If we can manage to put aside petty difference and stand united then we may deserve a second chance as a species. But most likely we'd all just stay segregated and let greed, arrogance and fear prevent us from ever mounting a useful defence.

If I was that alien there would not exist an argument capable of convincing me. Humanity is a disgusting tumour on the planet and nothing of any worth would be lost if we were all wiped out.

We are not worth saving. Wipe us out of this fucking galaxy.
your quote reminded me exactly of this



not the EXACT same wording but malak gets across the same message...


OT:

Well i would....

fuck we have too many annoying things out there, just one look around our planet and they would be annoyed as fuck by so many things, 4chan would probably make their heads explode like on mars attacks
