LOL, now they are making a horror movie based on the moon. Curious how the video-tapes made it back to Earth. Via a life-pod that crashed landed at a farm owned by a Mr Kent?

Hi,All
Always I see movie makers portraiting ALIEN as creatures trying to take over the earth,ruthlessly killing humans;and perhaps trying to be 'masters of the universe'and killing those it come into contact with.
However,if you had been abroad and come across the UFO journal--a journal highlighting ACTUAL investigation of UFO sighting;you will find that in almost ALL instantances they come in peace and are beings that places a high value on life.Those unjustified concept about them actual come from our own actions on one another human beings.I should point out the followings:
1)Life is short.If say you live till 100 years old--v good already--you live only 365x100 or36500 days only.Want to be masters of the UNIVERSE--our galaxy consist of (at least)more than 2 million stars and there are at lease thousands of galaxy more.Why bother?
2)If they are not limited to their own planet,resourse will be limitless and there is no incentive to fight/kill for resourses.
3)Our nearest star is 4.5 LIGHT YEARS away.If they have the technology to come here,they had already overcome death and definitely dont want our GERM POLLUTED PLANET.
Any opinion.Thanks.

I'm sure Aliens won't want a dying planet. Ever since humans acquired technology, the earth is slowly dying, running out of resources. Can our earth last for another 500 years? lol
Not that i am not guilty, I am also very much dependent on technology now. smart phones, laptops, internet, cars, bikes, aeroplanes...
Can't imagine one day if end of the world hits us again.
Will we survive. lol
then again, at the rate humans are trashing each other because of stupid island rights, and idiots who ignite the fire by crashing planes to other people's buildings. And see what happens when revenge happens. More people die from both side. Can it be settled without revenge, dun think so. cos this is humans.

Maybe these alien invasion movies are the government's way of distracting people's attention away from the economy depression? ("Oh, being jobless and poor is not so bad, compared to being torn apart and eaten by aliens!")

Yes,agree and look at the world today--cut spending in ALL science .space project and ever increase funding in military project and buying of weapons.People cant tolerate one another;wants to superimpost his tought on others by way of killing.If the ALIEN look at this,will they ever contact us?or think its pointless;like we look at the ants and think that their mutual killing as similar--a sure sign of stupidity and uncivilized behaviour.BEINGS that can come to our solar system after transversing hundreds of light years from another star system MUST have solve those fundamental food problems and definitely not interested having us as FOOD.Go to the moon and get eaten by alien--Joke of the universe!!
