What if the first aliens we meet are exactly like us

[bloodknight13]

How would you feel if the first contact we had we aliens was with a race that was exactly like humans, same colors, religions, countries, and issues.

 

[Venatio]

Then it wont be as interesting to have sex with them. Sorry to sound juvenile, but thats it.

 

[Marter]

I would be incredibly shocked, but ultimately wouldn't care all that much.

 

[Hazy]

Something tells me that humanity will still screw it up and end up waging war.

Personally? That would make relating to them even easier. (Referring to them sharing the same traits as us , unrelated to the "waging war" statement.)

 

[Gigaguy64]

Indifferent.

Though i would ask if they had TvC and if they did id want their Friend Codes.

 

[gonzo20]

then it would be a major mindfuck to know were not unique and everything is kinda the same

 

[SendMeNoodz84]

I'd start scoping out some alien chicks.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

How do you know we haven't already?

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

They'll be boring as hell and will exiled immediately.

 

[rabidmidget]

I would call bullshit, the chances of that happening are near impossible

 

[starhaven]

i would likely be terrefied that their really is no smart life forms in the galaxy

 

[Insanum]

I'd ask them if they'd just lost the game.

 

[Free Thinker]

Welcome to Earth...
*Look around*
I am the king of all you see and more!
Now come, let us show you our greatest achievement...we call them "video games"
Now about your women...

(sort of)Joke answer: I'm with you two.

Serious answer: It would make it easier to understand them and make peace.

Or, like any new contact, could lead to animosity and conflict.

I think I'd be really interested to find out how the heck that happened. Oooo... getting brilliant thoughts about time travel explinations and quotations for the Hitch-hiker's giude to the galaxy.
In all seriousness though, if they were exactly like us how did they invent space travel when we haven't (or visa vera if we go to them). It stands to reason that something's going to be different. I think that would be the most interesting thing, to find out that conclusively.

 

[fix-the-spade]

If that was the case.

There would be on hell of a war.

 

[GBlair88]

Yeh, I was thinking that.

 

[ARatherHandsomeGent]

It would be very very disappointing.

 

[ARatherHandsomeGent]

I'd ask them if they'd just lost the game.

I did

 

[Toxilium]

I'd call up the producers and writers of Battlestar Galactica to ask for advice...oh wait what.
