You wanna know why there should be an Alien attack?

Cause in my opinion thats the only way for us to stop fighthing each other. IMO any of these wars and conflicts would stop making any sense. Cause maybe we should look at each others in other way, we would look at earth as our home, and that the only one we have. And we all live in this home, so that maybe makes all of us a family.

I think it would be a good start, but its ironic that it would be war to end war. But at least fighting aliens is way more badass.

If aliens had the tech to get here, the world wouldn't stand a chance so I disagree with your theory.

Yeah, there should. And when we kill them all, we can simply solve our problems by flashing our Plasma Rifles.

We would kick the aliens ass.....Then we would get back to fighting each other. So no, there should not be an alien attack. We would kill off the aliens only to take their weapons and use them against each other.GrandJury

I think the aliens should enslave us.

give us a nice history lesson...

i think we shouldnt have one cuz I think the aliens would kill us all and yea we would have to come together but after we get our asses handed to use we will start pointing fingers and thats another war rite there

Either the aliens would kill us all off or we would kill them. If we manage to succeed it might be quiet for awhile but we are human. Something will turn up to make us start another war against each other. So no alien attacks.GrandJury

An exrtraterrestial invasion would no doubt unite the world.

But after wiping out the alien scum we will just go back to killing one another. It may not happen the next day. or year or 10 years but it will go back again.

I would like to cite Independence Day as evidence that we can band together.

Especially when a charismatic, veteran fighter pilot Presidentgives a speech via telegraph

1. Like someone else said, I doubt we could beat actual aliens (unless the rumors of Area 51 are true...).

2. Humans will always fight each other. We'd unite for a short time only.

3. You've recently read / seen Watchmen, haven't you?

Watchemen has nothing to do with this. I didnt got this idea from there. And iv seen it 2 months ago.

I'm just saying.

Also, in Watchmen, it's said that it won't last forever. So no, humanity will not unite. It might if we became a galactic group, owning different planets. But even them, I still see war existing.

Theres no aliens silly, only God. Jeez, you'd think there'd be smarter people on the Internet.RushMetallica

How would there be peace if were fighting aliens?

Peace itself doesn't exist.. it's a concept.. an ideal.. it's not reality. Violence is apart of nature.

EMOEVOLUTION

i said peace among humans.

I was saying that the other day but a guy said that some people would join the aliens and then I started doubting if we would actually fight opgether with aliens or not

Reminds me of that speech from Independence Day. Eew...

lol terrorist attacking aliens thats suicide

Considering the aliens could just bomb our cities into oblivion from orbit and any defense we have for that would probably prove ineffective against them, I think they'd win.

That's already the plan, Project Bluebeam. Obama has promised E.T disclosure by December. Also, the 2012 Olympics.

Pirate700

This. Anyone who thinks we would have a chance against an alien race (that could make it to Earth) is kidding themselves...

Well, yes, I guess extinction would get us to stop fighting. :roll:

i didnt said when the attack would happen, and neither who would invade who. It could be in a time that we are very developed already.Drakes_Fortune

Yes you did. You specifically said "Alien attack." That implys that we are being attacked by aliens. And if we were doing the attacking... how exactly would that unite us?

i dont want to get into the whole 2012 thing, but "apocolypse" means "lifting the veil";) maybe well "find the truth" in 2012 without any wars or alien attacks... or destruction like that dumb new movie lol

Ok. In this case, humans are the aggressor. Why would we unite? If it's a situation where humans are being attacked and we must unite, then it's possible for a temporary alliance. If we attacked and they retaliated, there would be no reason to unite. If we are capable of traveling to an alien world, then we can certainly hold our own to say the least.

In my opinion, it's like this:

If we attacked, we'd still be at odds with each other.

If we were attacked, unless the human population got brought down from 6 billion to a few thousand or a million, it would only be a temporary alliance.

Yes, because we all know how happy la la it was in China post 1945. Even if we manage to defeat the aliens, we'll turn on each other again.

An alien attack wouldn't do squat. Consider an extreme "ID4" scenario in which aliens totally ruin our **** before we finally defeat them. Imagine that the world did actually come together as one. The problem is that that only last as long as the aliens are vaporizing us and blowing up our cities.

Think about it, dude. We're talking about uniting everyone by having a REALLY bad enemy that takes up everone's attention. We're talking about everyone on earth being allowed to indulge in their violent tendencies, as long as those tendencies are directed against aliens. The problem is that that doesn't get rid of the violent tendencies. It's merely directing that violence and hatred at a globally accepted target.

Now...what happens when we win? What happens when the aliens go away? Do you think that all these people who have spent the last 5 years in the Alien Wars learning to ENJOY killing are going to suddenly start hugging trees and picking flowers? Do you think that the huge number of weapons being circulated worldwide to help humanity fight the aliens aren't going to end up in the hands of people who really don't give a **** about ANYONE? Look at it this way. Pretend you're part of a violent gang. The aliens attack. You pledge allegiance to hunanity in order to fight the aliens. Humanity has now beaten the aliens. But you still have your guns. Are you going to suddewnly be all about peace? Or will you say to yourself, "wow. I'm glad those aliens are gone. But...WOW. I have a ****load of guns. I think these guns may come in handy."

You're talking about a potentially huge power vaccuum. Nations and governments being annihilated. Don't you think that some of the people (who have been heavily armed in order to fight the aliens) might want to KEEP their guns as a way of strengthing their attempts to fill the power vaccuums that will be left after an alien invasion? Suppose that people ignore their differences in order to fight a common threat. What makes you think that those EXACT same differences won't return as soon as the aliens get defeated?
