    Humans kill one another so often, for all reasons including none, I wonder how we'd treat a peaceful alien who visited Earth.

        @neiltyson I think any intelligent life that has the technology to travel here also has enough sense to know they better stay away.

        @1Dad1Kid @neiltyson For their sake, I hope they do keep distance. Humans don't have a good track record treating those that are different.

        @neiltyson Humans vs insects&animals. The latter two are intelligent enough not to exterminate the very food stock they depend on~yet we do.

        @neiltyson We call anyone not of our nationality an "alien" and you see how well we treat them. A real alien wouldn't stand a chance.

        @neiltyson We'd feed him Reese's Pieces until he got diabetes then force him to sign an overpriced phone plan he simply doesn't need.

        @neiltyson actually if they have the ability to visit, they would already know this about the human race, our weapons would also be useless
