"To put it country simple, the Earth has a lot of things that other people might want. Like, the whole planet. Of course, they'd want a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and room for their way of life."

Easy...tacky souveniers, amazingly uniform tourist traps, with oddly hostile appetizers hanging around the entire planet with no main course in sight.

Maybe the man's right. Maybe Earth IS like the back-ass Alabama/Ozarks of the universe. Maybe they mention us & immediately think of the opening bars of "Dueling Banjos"---or the alien equivalent.

I think, if they turn the telescopes in the right direction, they'll see that aliens have already put up large warning signs at the edge of the solar system: Enter at Your Own Risk...

Well, if they had the technology to visit us, they'd probably think we're a bunch of backwards barbarians.

On a more serious note, aliens would probably be as fascinated by us as we are by them. Not that this fascination would necessarily help us avoid the killing and the death rays and cultural destruction and the hey, oh, it hurts me, wa-oy!

You know...I think aliens that had the technology to visit us would more than likely be benign. In order to develop the technology to visit us from even a nearby solar system, they would have had to put aside whatever differences in their society which may have plagued them and cocnentrate on technological advancement. This in itself would imply that they are at least somewhat peaceful.
However, they could also logically be a carnivorous race that ran out of meat on their world, so they chose to come to earth and use us as food. *shrug*

If aliens landed here today, they wouldn't have much time to think anything, because people would shoot them the moment they step out of the ship...

Oh, I can't imagine that a species smart enough to get here wouldn't take that under consideration.
"Hmm, from these 'television' programs, it would appear the dominant species of the planet is predatory in nature. Best take appropriate precautions."
Then we just hope that "appropriate precautions" means announcing their arrival and the use of defensive forcefields, rather than eliminating potential threats.
