In The Day the Earth Stood Still (yes I know it was terrible, but go with it), that's the argument John Cleese used to convince Keanu Reaves to stop the destruction of human life on earth.ZippyDSMlee said:

i dont think i can defend a world with cartoons as horible as planet sketch i suppose i will talk about art or somhting and if that fails i ask them why they need this worthless planet.
Tell them if they descide to destroy us then they better do if fast before we destroy them!
When we have their attention, tell them, yeah some people are flawwed, hell everyone is, but it's our spirit and want to help everyone around us that makes us great.
then show them technology, art, music, and other stuff that shows the powers of the human spirit.
If all that fails, we repeatedly nuke them till they go away.
No point begging them to save us, that alone will be reason for them to want to destory us.

"Offer not salvation, for thou shan't receive it in return."
i.e. "F*ck the f*ck off, right the f*ck now, or we will BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN WITH THE LEMONS!"
The momentary confusion that follows should give us a slight advantage... Unless they've already played Portal 2... In which we're as good as saved anyway!

I've got it! We get a bunch of poorly dressed mutha'fuckas to have a great big apocalyptic punch up until only one survies and then when the aliens invade he'll go back in time (not sure how) and bring a warning to two rodeo clowns and a prostitute. And then he'll do a weird thing that bestows super powers to random towns around the world. His will likely be that if the entire world consists of poorly dressed mutha'fuckas have a punch up will freak the aliens out and they'll just quietly leave.
I'm not sure it's possible. Humanity has achieved some great and uplifting accomplishments, but I don't think they come anywhere close to outweighing all the fuck-ups.
I guess the best I could do would be to explain to them that we'll be destroying ourselves before too long, anyway, so why waste their efforts?

I'd point them to Farmville.
Then they just might end our planet slightly faster than we're doing.

If they have the tecnology to fly over here and to blow an entire planet, wouldn´t that be a bit pointless?.Xaio30 said:

Just because I lost faith in humanity so long ago I made you lose faith? Damn I'm good!SirBryghtside said:
More seriously, In all honesty, there are a lot of good things in the world. Don't get me wrong about what I said before, I know that there are things that humanity has done that is worth recording in the annuls of history, even by an alien race. Not specifically the art that we've created or the technological advancements we've made, but certain events that have happened and milestones that we've accomplished as a race. From the first flying machines to our first steps into space and on the moon. From things like abolishing slavery to equal rights (though we're still not totally there yet). Humanity, at the moment, isn't worth saving. Taking the correct steps, whatever they are, and bringing everyone into harmony so we can all work together for a single future for all... only then would our race be worth saving.
shoot it in the head, laugh and say "Ya didn't think it would be easy to kill ya did you?" at its dead alien corps... and then shoot all the other aliens there as well... as they are not human and thus ok to kill
"No they really aren't," *shrug* "Might as well blow us up Alderaan style so we don't feel it. At least then the stupid invasion and hangover movies will stop."

I'd assumed that the aliens could save us from some inevitable cosmic catastophy but it would cost them a great deal of time and effort, meaning that we would have to prove ourselves worthy.
I'd have to appeal to them from a purely conservative standpoint. If our planet dies you can't exploit it in the future.
