Aliens, aliens, aliens....strange little creatures. Could they exist? Why would they exist? What exactly is an alien, and to who is the alien? Are we the aliens in this world? Imagine the Earth WITH "aliens." Aliens are simply outsiders, or something different. Deer could be aliens, buffalo could be aliens, molecules could be aliens. They're all different, but they all have one thing in common: they aren't intellgent. And it is what it is. Not that they are stupid, just not.....smart. What if aliens visited Earth? What would you think of them. Even so, perhaps cats could be intelligent creatures. (makes me think of Thundercats, eh?)
Life with cats. Just think of it. A strange univers this would be. "Honey, you forgot to clean your litterbox!" It scars me a little, actually. Cats going to school, running for president, working, or perhaps typing this right now. Maybe to cats, WE'RE cats. Maybe they DON'T accept us, but because they aren't intelligent, they can't show, say, or act what they are trying to get to.
Now, the main point of this thread. Adapting aliens into our world would be an interesting....and distrubing experience. Many people thought of African Americans as "aliens" during segregation times. Maybe cute little green men would be aliens. Maybe at school, your best friend is an alien, or maybe at work, your co-worker is an alien. I would accept them, but it would take time. However, time is something the human race doesn't have. In a matter of time we won't be here anymore. However, only time will tell what shall happen.
Now, how would you react to aliens coming to Earth. Would you accept them?
[...]if they are peaceful for once in real life the general population probably wouldn't like them because they don't even like themselves with racism, sexism, and very little tolerence in the world.
I doubt that anyone in the world would argue about accepting beings which are developed enough to be able to travel all the way to the Sol system, don't you think?

If anything, I think the presence of aliens would help unite us and make us more aware of the fact that we are all essentially human beings....
