My theory: Aliens would have to be stupid to contact us. We're far too moronic as a whole to be worthy of contacting another race. Likely we'd be stupid and try to wipe them out.

As someone who on a number of occasions has explained my attitude towards aliens (to clarify I am a Xenophobe, with an emphasis on Xeno meaning space aliens) I won't take your comment to heart . I agree however that making a snap judgement is dangerous, better to wait a few hundred years till our technology is superior then exterminate them.

Lol, no offense was intended

I wasn't really referring to people who genuinely think aliens were meant to be wiped out (xenophobes), I was mostly referring to the people who, through ignorance not rational thought, freaked out and went on a killing spree. But seriously, think of how people deal with people of other races than their own. Genocide. Would we, as a whole, do any different if an entirely separate species came into contact with us?? I think not.
