Aliens (the ones from space)

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.

   actually there is little to say that we humans are really proportionally more violent than other creatures.  our minds are more complex so we are able to view the effects of violence in a different light than other species and that makes us different.  however we are carniverous(obniverous, but we still have instict to eat meat) in nature, and carniverous nature can only be achieved though violence or scavanging(usually a combination)  However in other intelligent primates such as chimps(also eat meat and can have very violent societies) mental states simular to sadism.  we are simply violent animals with more brain power so that we know that we are violent animals, and can seek other forms of violence.  I guess if you like the idea of aliens  you have be aware of wheter a particular alien race is carniverous or herbarover.  a carniverous race might wipe us out to stop competion before it becomes a risk. where herbavores may wipe us out to prevent our violence.  Violence is just our nature. and likely the nature of any alien as well as i doubt a non carniverous species could advance far enough without wiping out all their predators first, and that requires violence as well.  you are assuming that aliens are utopian gods, when they are just other intelligent animals from another planet
