    No. We'd have, goodbye you're dead.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

        Do we have a cure for the Andromeda Strain?

          Who knows? It seems much more likely that the aliens wouldn't be competing with us on the resources we find valuable and would just ignore us.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            We tend to ignore other species when we take resources. Often those species lose their habitat.

              Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll be eco friendly aliens.

                Then they'd have to get rid of us.

                  We could end up like rats, pidgeons and cockroaches. Our visitors from the stars may usher in an unintentional golden age.

                    Yep, don't use nukes
                    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                        I suspect the resources valuable to any race that regularly engages in interstellar starflight substantially overlap with the resources valuable to our civilization.

                          Give us a few hundred years and we'll be using mostly different resources ourselves.

                            Can you support this with any evidence or at least reason?

                              I hate human beings anyway.
                              A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                                It's stories like these that lead me to hate human beings.
