Exact words aliens would say when they land on this planet.

If I were an alien I'd just kill everyone who wasn't a hippy and continue my intergalactic space kegger by turning the earth into the most fun paradise in the galaxy. Only reason earth sucks right now is because of our beliefs .

EDIT: you guys are all autistic and have taken this post made in jest way too fucking literally

Maybe its because I've been forced to read Ponting for a class, but some would argue that the earth sucks because we decided that being hunter gatherers wasn't the cool thing to do anymore. The development of agriculture, which lead into urban states, then culminated into the concept of power. The conception of power really fucked us up. After you wipe things out as an alien, I'll happily stick around and try out this foraging thing and kick it with your alien bros. Credit sucks anyway.

hahah fair enough, perhaps it was a faulty assumption. My main point was that his or her quality of life would clearly drop off a cliff without the benefits of modern medicine, easy access to food, shelter, etc.

I'm just salty there's no where left to go to live out my hunter gatherer fantasies without first buying property for a few million in cash

When one caveman made a stone axe, he had power over the other cavemen. We didn't invent it, it's a natural consequence of moving beyond caves. Dumb comment.

You'd be surprised how many hippys have fucked up beliefs.

Actually the only reason earth sucks right now is because of humans. Any truly benevolent alien race would exterminate us like the parasite we are.

(this comment in reference to you thinking that I might be 18)

Deleted the original comment because I thought it was a bit rude. It's funny, I knew someone would bring that up one day. It's just the number that one of my favorite hockey players wears.

That being said, if I was born in 97, I'd be at least 21 (22 if born on or before Feb. 12, 1997), not 18.

But seriously, I hope you find peace. There are undoubtedly good people in this world. Don't throw the (literal) baby out with the bath water.
