Poll: Human superiority ideology vs Aliens

[cleverlymadeup]

ok they have mastered intergalatic travel, which means faster than light drives or some sort of wormhole type thing

our icbm's wouldn't pose much of a threat and neither would some crappy guerrilla tactics. tho i do think it would be funny to see America using Che's tactics

tho only thing i have to say is i hope their video games are better than pong

If the aliens truly are our superiors, we'll have no choice but to do what they demand. Otherwise, we'll probably hunt them to extinction. Like the Neanderthals. We don't like competitors.

I for one hope they are superpredators that eat us. Give us a sense of perspective around here.

Dead people have no sense of perspective because they're dead.

Profound insight. I was referring to the small band of stalwart survivors holed up in some mountain cave, of course.

They certainly will have some sense of some perspective.

They will also no doubt become extinct very swiftly.

Wow. You're more cynical than I am. In the short story I wrote, they decided to make a deal with the Stardogs to become their willing food stock so they'd be officially allowed to survive. And then they were kept as personal hunting animals for about 200 years until another alien race "liberated" them.

But only because they were sick of the Dogs bogarting all the sweet human steak. OH. SNAP.

Sounds like those aliens are just as in need of some perspective building as we are. Maybe more so.

Perhaps. But when something is 400 lbs of teeth and claws and is capable of intergalactic space travel, it's hard to find it a babysitter.

 

[lizards]

i would be a rebel (half life joke)

no really i would fight

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

I, for one would send someone as an ambassador for myself. Meanwhile, I would gather as many people as I could and get somewhere remote, if the ambassador came out alive (Not to where I would be hiding, I wouldn't want them probing his brain for that) and his eyes weren't glazed over then my small group would simply observe. If he didn't have an alien bay and acted exactly like himself, I would hail the new overlords. If not: shotgun.

 

[Agayek]

If the aliens come, we'd have the typical war for freedom/continued existence featured in almost every Sci-Fi game/book/movie in the last 200 years. Either we win, they run off, and we further cement the belief in our own superiority in the collective consciousness, or we lose and our new lords and masters either wipe us out of existence (most likely) or enslave us all.

Then there's the slim chance that there won't be a hostile misunderstanding at the first meeting and we'd establish peaceful, supportive relations with each other, catapulting human technology forward decades, if not centuries. However, given human history, I find this outcome to be highly unlikely.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

If they came here simply to find other life in the universe, I say we find some way to communicate (if possible :S ) and share technology. Just as we'd be interested in how they managed to travel such a vast distance to find us, they might be interested in our tools of destruction. Or perhaps, even some of our different types of power plants?

But since that's not what you're asking (by your use of the word "invade"), and asking about what I'd do in such an aggressive circumstance... I'd say fight back. Again, while they might have incredibly advanced methods of transportation to find us, and while it's highly probable that they might also have advanced weaponry, the latter isn't guaranteed.
I say, if they wanna fight, let's give them a fight.
At least... Until we know for sure whether or not they have more advanced weaponry compared to us

If this situation does occur, I'd hope we'd find some way to form a ceasefire with each other, before either of us are completely blown away... if that's possible

No, we already have something worse, not necessarily capable of intergalactic travel, but far, far worse.

 

[Sergeant M. Fudgey]

Shouldn't we all be worried about the worst possible outcome of this potential (not so beneficial after all) gathering with aliens?
ZERG RUSH! KEKEKE!

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

no anal probing please.

I've never understood why people think that an alien race would travel thousands of light years just to stick things in peoples' butts.

 

[Evilbunny]

I for one will fight to the last defending our planet. Like hell I'm gonna bow to any alien overlords. I'd actually prefer we blow up Earth with Nuclear weapons than submitting to them.

 

[TheBluesader]

No, we already have something worse, not necessarily capable of intergalactic travel, but far, far worse.

Corporate lawyers? PR reps? Directors of Human Resources?

Or do you mean more violent but slightly less annoying evil, like Nazis and the Mongol Hordes?

 

[Matronadena]

at least it wont be dull......

Ditto.

There's always the possibility though, that we'd make contact with a more peaceful race like the vulcans. What then?

Even worse. We have Rosie O'Donnell.

 

[Nova Tendril]

I'd get down in my knees and beg for my life.

Seriously, they're a super advanced race capable of supreme space travel. Meanwhile we can't even get to Mars. They would kick our ass without even trying.

 

[Flying-Emu]

I for one welcome our new Alien Overlords.

I was waiting for it.

Personally, I think that if an alien species did waste their time coming to this backwater sham of a planet, we would be intelligent enough to not invoke their wrath, especially if they have superior technology to us.

Maybe the aliens would kill those people, seeing them as useless additions to the human race and use the rest of us as slave labour.
