So much discussion of aliens involves invasion, abductions, government cover ups, but what if you met a genuine ET and he was a good person. Would you be friends with him? Could you mentally handle being friends with a being from another planet?
Would you be a genuine friend or secretly wish to expose him for your own gains?
I suppose some people would be scared, but if he was genuine and didn’t want my brain for experiments, I would give a whirl. Would you?

Man, you guys are sooo gullible. All those nasty smelly aliens have to do is stay out of sight and tell the news chic not to say anything, and as if by magic you suckers are begging for the butt ugly aliens to wisk you away in their spaceship and take you to some very far away place that you know nothing about.
Oh, yeah.. and the reason life on this planet is so crappy is because of those space aliens you want to be friends with so badly. And just so you know, they're going to have us nuke everything and half the population, just to make life even worse so that you want the nasty space aliens even more!
Too bad you guys don't know anything about the aliens. If you did, you wouldn't be eating that Thanksgiving turkey (I wanted to get a turkey, but there's this problem with the aliens and stuff that you'd have to see for yourself). I'd love to tell you more, but you wouldn't listen so it would be a waste of my energy anyway. I'll just have to hope you find out for yourself.

If this Alien had mastered inter-stellar travel and all that goes along with it then i think there would be a pretty large intelligence gap, I think i'd have to buy the Alien a "I'm with stupid" tee-shirt
