Why does everyone always assume that an alien race could wipe us out with ease just because they have mastered space travel? I know, I know if they
are advanced enough to overcome the vast distances needed to get here, then their technology is obviously superior to our silly kinetic weapons, and
high powered lasers that punch holes through millimeters of latex in under a minute right?
What if space travel is their most advanced technology? What if they invade us with flintlocks, and cannonballs? lol, I know thats a bit out there,
but I really wouldn't throw in the towel that quickly, you forget just how "excuse my slang"
ingenuitive us primates can be when backed into
a corner, just because we have not yet mastered space travel does not mean that we do not stand a chance of thwarting an invasion from a hostile space
race, keep in mind that we could have been colonizing our own star system back in the 80's if we chose to do so, of course that is nothing compared
to interstellar travel I will give you that one, but it's still impressive nonetheless to make a leap like that in a 30yr. or so time span... You
must also remember that while we have not yet taken our "
in my eyes" inevitable leap beyond this rock as serious as others may have, the one
thing that we have perfected did not require us leaving home to do so, you can always count on us for good fight "
warfare"...
For God sake we have turned killing into an art form, we write books on "
The Art of War" I mean seriously we create weapons that destroy the
weapons we created to destroy, we teach our children how to mercilessly kill with just a few touches "
and do it gracefully at that" it's
like watching "
The Lion King" on Broadway, were good at this *ish*... Seriously, do you truly believe that we would just duck, and cover,
while a bunch of malnourished grey midgets in flying dinnerware, and bipedal iguana's fondled our planet? Highly unlikely, truth is I believe we
would fight, and we would fight with everything we have, we are very resourceful, highly intelligent, battle hardened apes, with balls like a blue
whale, survival is in our DNA, out of our darkest hours have come some of our greatest victories, and we have yet to figure out the meaning of
quit.
I could guarantee that new technologies would be popping out of nowhere capable of wiping out whatever threat we were up against, we are not this
timid, helpless race of accidental waste as many would have you believe, and the sooner we realize this, the better off we will be... lol, gotta love
us savage cave people... Anyways I'm rambling on, the point is I just don't see a hostile force being able to come here, and take this God forsaken
place from us before we have our chance at destroying it, "
it's our birth right dammit"...
