Maybe this doesn't belong in Politics, but between the threads about hating black people and the threads about hating pedos, I don't think anyone will really mind.
Anyway,
For some reason, when people thing about the possiblity of encountering extra-terestrials they have a fear of them being hostile or violent toward humans. But when you think about it, humans may very well be the most violent creatures in the universe. Certainly other organisms fight, kill, and eat one another, but humans are really they only things that obsecess about killing and violence, and many of them find pleasure in it.
Despite every culture in the world (except Islam har har) denouncing violence humans still find ways to become more violent. Inventing techniques to cause more pain, kill faster, kill more, etc. etc....
So, really, I'd have to say, even if we lack the technology to travel space and time, humans are probably the most blood thirsty creatures to ever exist.
