Why do aliens hate us?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Taku:
They don't hate us per se they loved us, at least as long as we were polluting the world, it turned the place into the perfect holiday spot for them. You know acid rain, sulfur high atmosphere all that stuff and all this. They have already started to build some hotels in some nice (highly polluted) places.

And then the environmentalists came...

They really hate them, now they hunt them and torture them and well do all to make sure no environment protection takes place.

LordHavoc:
I think the most desirable thing about Earth to them would be that it is habitable to lifeforms like themselves, unfortunately it has seemingly-hostile primitive inhabitants already that are in the way, so with their meager forces they secretly begin building underground and underwater alien bases on the planet, cloning troops and building equipment, and we only notice their scout forces initially, while their later waves of troops are still maturing in cloning tubes.

Consequently, destroying each base puts an end to a lot of unmature aliens, and we can study their cloning technology once a base is captured...  Not using it to clone humans but to modify humans to become supersoldiers, which will be absolutely necessary to fight the later waves of aliens.

Sound good?

Of course this can have a 'happy ending', where some alien colonies surrender once their commanders have mostly been defeated, and become peaceful members of earth's population.

hajma:
They do not hate us. They use earth as a test environment for their weapons industry. Also because humans are very similar to them and some of their enemies. So basically, they do not want to destroy earth/humans immediately, but when the day comes and they will need to test _the_ultimate_weapon_ ...

jhcook1999:
Now, I thought of alot of this before I read these messages, however after reading some of them, I merged it a bit.

The human race can be seen as both an oddity, and a threat to the alien species.  For instance, within the last couple of hundred or so years we've gone from flapping our arms and pretending to fly, to using machines to take us off of the ground, and out of the atmosphere.  Our thirst for our own destruction, and the destruction of others has given the alien race cause to kill all/most humans.  Fearing that we will soon unlock the secrets of the universe the aliens have come and destroy our civilizations once again, which explains why there are so many ruins of ancient civilizations, but no remains of the ancients (ie, why many ancient races disappeared without a trace).  The aliens both use us for experiments, and food using horrific methods and displaying them to as many as possible in an attempt to make us so afraid that we will not put up a fight.  Also by doing reasearch on us, they can discover why we learn things so much faster than they do .  As luck would have it, this time they have underestimated our abilities to adapt, learn and regrow, and have only sent small numbers to Earth giving us the opportunity to rise to the challenge and defeat the aliens.  A slim chance, but it's better than a horrific annilation.

I would like to help with making the UFOpedia work properly, I found it really disapointing to open it up and everything was blank.  And after looking at what I wrote again, it's timeline is all screwed up, but it's just my two cents.

xarvh:
Borrowed from Asimov (i'm not that smart):

Humans are, without even knowing, host for the immature stage of a race of incorporeal interplanetary parasite, which is killing a fair amount of population of the sentient races around the galaxy/universe.
Kill the humans, the parasites won't be able to reproduce anymore.
This justifies different alien races and research on humans.

Variations are easy.
