We'd embarrass ourselves wouldn't we?

I'm thinking more along the lines of War of the Worlds. Why should people assume aliens are automatically going to be nice, friendly beings :rolleyes:

Maybe they'd be expecting a polite welcome, instead they land near Wayne in Grimsby and get beaten up for being an immigrant.

Wayne's probably doing us a favour. I'd lead the crowdfunding to build a statue, though I don't know how long it'd last in Grimsby before disappearing in the dark of the night and ending up in a Romanian salvage yard.

If you look at human history you soon realise 90% of history is humans being really, really, really mean and nasty to each other. Why would aliens be any different?

What if the aliens aren't human?
What if the aliens are just other humans from another Earth like planet but hadn't been through the civilizations of total *****? What if they lived pleasantly and successfully? What if they'd never invented religion? What if like in the film, they hadn't invented lying for example? What if they were just super cool, beer drinking legends who want to have a bit of fun at nobody else's expense and relax, enjoying life?

What then?

**** it, let Wayne beat them up, we'd only **** it up later.

What if your friendly aliens carried a virus that didn't harm them and they unknowingly passed it on the humans through a simple handshake and wiped out humanity within a few weeks?

You ask too many questions.

Better safe than sorry.
