Two of my children and I are lifelong abductees and in speaking from this view point it is hard to disagree with you more. What makes you believe they are a peaceful bunch of entities simply searching the cosmos? These bastards torture, test, and manipulate you into whatever their agenda is.
Thinking they are only a peaceful group of entities is extremely dangerous and will lead you into a life of slavery.

I personally believe in aliens, but I believe that they do not come in contact with us due to our primitiveness.
Let us consider a situation :
A peaceful alien race tries to come into contact with humankind.
What would happen?
I am 100% sure that we would not be peaceful. The fear of something so outside our views, would make governments start a war or try to destroy them. Our minds are conditioned to believe that everybody wants something, especially materialistically. I believe a good example would be Joker from the Dark Knight. Whatever were his motives, it was too outside the box thinking for everybody that he does not want money. The fact that someone does something just to do it without any materialistic motives behind is considered crazy by most people and outside our understanding.
If aliens were peaceful we would be too sceptical against them and rather destroy them than try to co-operate with them, even if they were more advanced technologically and everything because of pure fear.
That is the reason behind my theory.
Even if they existed, they would rather watch us (that means some of the theories about found or seen UFOs might be true), but the contact is not even in question, at least for now.edit on 8-3-2013 by Cabin because: (no reason given)edit on 8-3-2013 by Cabin because: (no reason given)

That is unlikely for a race of aliens who are traversing the universe into our neck of the woods. The only reason a race of beings capable of travelling the vast distances of space to get to us, would do so, would be, in my opinion, to extract resources.
This clearly is not the case.
So either they have indeed reached self sufficiency to the point that they can simply observe us without interference, or they're not here.
If we ever do make contact, you can most likely be guaranteed that they will consider us as natives and the resources we have as theirs for the taking... possibly even us included.

Bollocks. What proves there are no aliens, is that if they existed they WOULD contact us just like we cannot resist contacting remote tribes now.
The ONLY reason the Sentinelese are still alive and healthy is they would kill anyone who came ashore. Millions of natives around the world have died because of contact by explorers. We humans are too curious.
It proves Aliens don't exist because if they came here they could NOT resist contact otherwise why come here.
Thanks for proving aliens do not exist. You gave me the perfect argument. Well done as I had not thought of it like that before.
