These guys don't.

After reading that... It makes sense, actually. Aliens probably won't be friendly little green men willing to give us technology, they'll be soldiers hardened from thousands of years of war. Take us as an example, we can kill each other fairly easily. Look at how many wars we fight. The terrorists. The Conquistadors. If we can kill each other freely, what stops an advanced alien species from running us over without the tiniest thought of it doing wrong?

Also, we probably don't have a language to communicate with them in.

I am a firm believer that aliens know about us, but just avoid us.

The white people of space.

The surest sign that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy is that none of it has tried to contact us.

We gun get raped by tiny green people.

we do

Depends on what kind of aliens. If they are bent on conquering stuff, they will not be friendly. If they are in a pursuit of knowledge they will be friendly.

I don't have to read this. The answer is no.
Just look back at the age of exploration. The european explorers such as Columbus were harsh. They made native americans slaves, took all their land, and made them live under devastating conditions. Well that's an example of greed.

The missionaries. Oh god. They tried to convert native americans and african americans to whatever religion they were. Some forced them to convert and made them do chores so their god can forgive their sins. Example of power and also greed.

I don't expect the aliens to be nice unless their religion is based on serenity and comprehension. Yea we should have a religion like that. No gods, no angels, no after life. Just be kind to your neighbor. Do not practice greed- anyway, just look at us. Not only did the european explorers did that, some other cultures did as well. I'm not going to extrapolate but when the more powerful side wants something, they'll do anything to crush their opponent.



Look at colonial history.

People are trying to compare life that may be thousands of light years away to Earthen life, and that makes no sense.

Exactly. They may not even use the same system of coherent thought, but still be intelligent.
