"We know they're extremely advanced technologically, which suggests, very rightfully so, that they're peaceful."

So if life on earth included everything except humans, would you expect life here to locate other life outside earth?

Sounds like you came into this discussion looking for a fight rather than a rational debate. Sorry if the difference eludes you. Still looks like you are missing my point ... let the aliens tow the fright, how many times do I have to post this?

The answers are on the History Channel’s series on Ancient Aliens and in Erick V Danniken (sp?) books. Just buy the DVDs and a few copies of his books used

GOOD POINT, then there is Zacaria Sitchin and his book “The 12th. planet” and the other books he wrote on the subject
very interesting reading and should probably be part of high school coriculum

My point is, all life forms are likely not capable of interstellar travel and waiting for them to contact us might never occur. Sorry this point blew by you at light speed.

Perhaps I should clarify a bit more.

My point is, all life forms are likely not capable of interstellar travel or interstellar communication, and waiting for them to contact us might never occur.

This is not a difficult concept to understand.

No hair off my ass.

The aliens were probably getting annoyed with all that Led Zeppelin beamed up at them anyway.

Oh, you thought they were just listening? Uh-uh.

How do we know InterGalactic Life isn’t run by Star Nazis? Why the assumption that other life is wiser and superior? They might be a race of jerks.

the assumption that other life is wiser and superior = religion
