• Poll #33 Response, The would entirely depend upon how they treated us/ me. If they were friendly, I would friendly, If they were not, I would load the shotgun.

  • judging by the way some humans treat each other, it would be a very stupid alien that would bother with us.

  • i would treat them with more moral standards than i would human being , they probably created us and are effectively our gods .

• Certainly, if they come in peace.. as previously stated, I would be on my guard as some have definitely treated humans as if we are a science experiment.<br />I don&#39;t think we should shoot first and ask questions later as I am sure many people will.

• Thanks for the pole.There should be a little forethought here.We should realize that if these possibly higher entities just may have mastered telepathy, telekinesis, faster than the speed of light travel, horticulturist and hopefully humanitarianism. Their operations would be bloodless non-evasive.Their craft would be non-evasive ,also. They wuold want to study families and friends for

• I think they messed up their start and end dates for that poll.

• I believe that God has made everything and everyone; rational man and instinctual animals. I don&#39;t believe that he created transformes or robots etc. I believe that there is a strong possibility of humans on other planets but they make look different from us; no different from white, blacks, bwowns, reds, and yellows on planet earth. With the high probability of UFOs existing and with their

• id treat them with respect,but how would everyone else treat them, the human race cant even treat each other with respect<br />let alone an alien from a diff world,

• I agree, all are creations in the vast cosmos. All are accorded as such, respect, or &quot;do unto others&quot;, the Golden Rule. Remember, he didn&#39;t say, &quot;do unto others, unless they are alien to you&quot; did he?<br />:)
