For all of you that believe that we might come in contact with ET's... this is one thing I've always pondered.
What if they are like us?
What if their governments or powers are as corrupted as ours? Would you trust them ?
Do they dance? Do they laugh?
Do they cry?
Do they get strung up over everyday life?
Do they drink?
Do they hate their 'job'?
Do they start wars to make 'money'?
Do they have a controlling force?
Some of us sit outside every night and stare at the stars, telling themselves that there will be something 'more' in years to come..
Imagine they looked exactly like us.. and that we are just an extension of their population. We are just as irate as them.. we kill each other for personal benefits/beliefs.
Do you really want ET contact?
Personally.. I do. But I always look at this perspective as a possibility. They could be exactly like us.
OUR human population right now isn't exactly anything I'd bring home to mother earth. What if every other ET acted like we did ?

I want the fact that the government has contact with these beings acknowledged.
I want the ET's to share their technology, to rid us of our governments, and to be under the 'Galactic Councils' rule.
I don't really want to live amongst these beings, they're creepy.
But I'd like it if we had relations with them.
Cheers

I guess your question can be answered differently depending on whether you see ETs as biological entities, inter dimensional entities or a mixture of two.

Then you have to take into consideration whether we possess some of their DNA or viceversa. I would assume the more primitive the extra terrestrial life form, the closest in similarity to human behavior: For example, assuming it's comparable in our biological ways, then they will surely have a need to physically survive. If they are, however super advanced (self-cloning, transfer of consciousness, perfect health, reparative therapy etc) or dare I say it, immortal, interdimensional, then they are probably MUCH different than us because their needs will be of superior intellectual, technological, or even spiritual nature.
