Alien asks you to prove humanity is worth saving

[Mailman]

"You can't blow up the world. That's where I keep all my stuff. But before you destroy us, look at a few episodes of MLP:FiM. Can a species that came up with Fluttershy be that bad?"

 

[Conn1496]

Screw it. Accept our fate as prostitutes on the planet "MAOSJIFNUnceuiIOBAEC_IV6". :L

 

[SammiYin]

The aliens would have a harder time convincing me.

 

[dillinger88]

Point them in the direction of Stephen Fry. No one can genuinely hate that guy.

 

[mGoLos]

I'd ask, "Who the fuck are you to judge?"

"We're the guys in the spaceship sporting the super-civilization. We move the stars dipshit. While your race is mostly a semi-illiterate oil-dependent monkey who can't even take care of one planet. Enjoy your fiber-optics, hahaha" *flies off to live and prosper*

What ... too dark?

 

[Arina Love]

i would show them loli hentai manga =) that will do it.

Send them a care package including a copy of the New Testamet and the Koran, two live baby rabbits, two teenagers in love, a green chicken egg weighing 2 grams, a picture of the Eiffel tower, and a bit of asorted bric-a-brac. Either they get it or they don't.

Didn't get it myself, but sending them the Quran and the New Testament to have them fighting amongst themselves sounds like a great idea.

Pretty words, other pretty words, something adorable (which is unique to Earth), something passionate [albeit stupid], something strange and wonderful (unique to earth), a kickass building (unique to Earth), and whatever else is nice that's unique to Earth. The message being "Here's some really cool stuff we did, don't blow us up. Or at least take all that stuff with you."

 

[DrOswald]

My first question is by what basis they judge us worthy of destruction.

I then answer based on their answer. It will most likely have to do with the moral advancement of the human race over the last century.

 

[ntw3001]

I take off my shirt.

 

[Suijen]

"We're here and doing reasonably well for ourselves, what more can you ask for?"

 

[PissOffRoth]

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.

Yeah, I don't think any species could possibly be as inquisitive and warmongering as humans are. This discussion is probably pointless because, if anything, an alien species would want our planet for its ability to sustain life. And unless they show up tomorrow, our planet is going to be hopelessly, irreparably damaged by then, making it absolutely useless to them. Chances are that if any aliens have found us, they are watching and studying from afar to observe first hand the slow suicide of a species.

I would ask them to watch this and let them make up their own mind. It explains our nature perfectly, yet it would make them question their own motives in destroying us.

And I wouldn't let them get anywhere near a Bible.

 

[Ponce Master-General]

"If you're thinking that you have the authority to decide whether another race should exist or not, then you should take a good hard look at your own race.

...************."

Okay, I wouldn't really say ************, that was just added for dramatic effect.

 

[pretentiousname01]

I'd ask them to let me pick and choose who is worth saving.

We need a good pruning of our society

 

[babinro]

We're not...plain and simple. We change the world around us and destroy the lives of other living beings both human and animal for our convenience and greed.

I live a great life because I was lucky enough to be born in a 'better' region of the world...but even so, humanity as it is today is not worth preserving.

Of course in the interest of self preservation, I could just do a lot of lying and leave out the reality of the world focusing only on the positive changes we strive for.

 

[guntotingtomcat]

I'd make them watch star trek tng and try to pass it of as a documentary.

Not much else that could be done, as far as I can see.

 

[death525]

3 words: Shadow of the Collosus

 

[Rainboq]

That humanity has come very far in its understanding of itself, and that it is shaking its bad habits.

 

[Raregolddragon]

Give them my box set of Fire Fly and if that dose not work have the watch Episodes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.

Yea TV saved the day!

All the music, art and all the great people who have rallied the people for righteous causes. Gandhi, Martin Luthor King, Mother Theresa just to name a few. These people are the standout few who have brought out the best in all of us. While there might be great evil, there is also equal amounts of the polar opposite.
