ok last alein question for sure now. do you think if they came into contact with us, do you think they would enslave us and hurt us as we do others, take columbus, or help us on our under developed planet, relative to the foreign species that is.
I think they would take Columbus. I hear it's relatively unprepared for an alien invasion.
I'm of the school that we should hope we are never actually visited. I wouldn't say it's so much about enslavement or wanting to hurt us necessarily, but the more likely possibility is that we'd be so far below them that we're basically inconsequential. Imagine us discovering a new world and being greeted by a handful of chimpanzees. We wouldn't be interested in giving them our technology. If we were searching for places to live, we wouldn't dismiss that land as "taken" and move on. It seems pretty unlikely to me that it would end up well for the chimps.
