New Mars Forums

You know what bugs me? All those weird books and movies where intelligent aliens try taking over the earth. They take one look at Earth then try to kill everything on it. I find that stupid, especially if the alien is intelligent and sentient. If you've seen War of the Worlds,  read the book, the aliens come out of the blue and attack. No reason, no signal, no anything, just attack.

If you think about it, lets say, we were really advanced. We go to a planet far away in a diffrent planetary system. We suddenly find this blue/green jewel planet, much like the Earth. We go and explore it, and see that there are weird creatures, but are intelligent and sentient. They have the technology of us right now. Since we are more advanced we are stronger. Would we really just go in and blow up stuff for no reason? Any sentient being would observe and reaserch, maybe even interact a tiny bit. no one would want to kill a speicies for no reason. Think about it.

Oh, and this is my first post on the forum.   Its a cool place.
