Couldn't say it better myself but i might've been a little less salty towards any race bearing long distance space travel technology.AbundantRedundancy said:

Easy. Humans are highly advanced organic molecular machines, capable of persistently furthering Science, Research, and Development. And will continue to be able to do so if allowed to.
We are open to Negociation, and in the long term, as two species, can benefit each other.

"The Majority of the Human Race are Sheep, pretending to be Important. We are Important - Very Important. And Intelligent. Or, at least, those of us who arent pretending to be Important where it doesnt count. They dont count. They are Commoners, Pedestrians, Employees, and Degenerates. All of whom keep life interesting, whilst everyone else achieves Productivity; Or who harvest the crops to feed those vastly more Important than themselves. We are all essential. Even the drunk idiot who picks fights with passers by. It keeps the Victims life interesting. And if the Victim is defenceless, then the Victim will make good reading material for a couple of days. And if the Victim can defend themself, then all the better to Him." -Me, a few years ago, in a Story i threw together while i was sick.

Yeah pretty much,there's only so many people worth saving that is isn't worth the time NOT destroying everyone,though a "Being Saved From Aliens Destroying Us" audition may help us find the right people.Byere said:
As able to be redeemed as I think a great many of us are, I still think the day the world stood still ended improperly. An alien race comes down to save a rare life-giving planet from a self-destructive population of humans and they just change their mind?
I personally don't see how great swaths of population can't be bothered to give a shit, but there are billions of self-centered NIMBYs on this planet we could do without. I mean why should someone need to come along with a big stick to get people to do the right thing? Why can't people just do it because it's the right thing to do?
I can't say I would embrace a culling, but can anyone really say they didn't see it coming?

I would tell that that as it stands, humanity as a whole is not worth saving.
HOWEVER!!!
There are many individuals worth saving, and if the whole system could be shook up enough and we could get a fresh start with the right kind of people in charge everywhere...Then humanity might become worth saving.

This is the best answer I could imagine, if bacon can't save our....bacon, nothing willKingPiccolOwned said:
I would retort by asking them why they are worth saving. If they could not satisfy me with a good answer I would sneeze on them and infect them, War of the worlds style. Bye bye Aliens you condecending, self important, bad immune system bunch of galaxy police. Meet the human race!
