Basically. If it wasn't in human nature to hoax and lie, we would be much farther along with this. I always hear, "Well why don't aliens just show themselves?" Maybe they have.

well, i think that even if they have come to earth they may have just not bothered showing themselves because of we cant even seem to treat our own planet with the respect it deserves, so they may think that we would probably do the same to them, and use them for our own benefit.

As one would expect, respectable visitor would contact our government leaders first. They are the ones to blame.

yeah but if they did study the behaviour of our governments to see how they rule the earth and to see if they were worthy rulers, then they'd have seen what damage they have done, and also what little they've done to amend for their faults.

I don't think it is so much a quality of mankind so much as a bad habit. But your right. It is hard to hold respect up to a person that plays around with the truth so much. It can hard to like someone like this at times.

Aliens did walk around announcing their existence. Why must they stay here constantly refreshing our memory of them? As if it's some kind of requirement that they stay here and make up for our inability keep the facts straight. The idea that aliens are not real, or even questionable is absurd. So what if they are not making public landings like they used to.

They are riddled all through our history, recorded by people in whatever means they had including hand-me-down fables, writing, paintings, buildings, memories and so on. They are preserved in nearly every possible way and yet man has some how managed to "forget" them anyway. Oops. This streak of amnesia has even gone so far as to claim in recent years that the universe likely has no other intelligent life forms then ourselves and that the idea of aliens is crazy.

And all because a lie was an easier thing to live with then the truth. One little lie or alteration after another until modern man arose as he is today. We have slipped a long long long way.... It seams that a super simple yet watered down truth, like that aliens are real, is an outrages thing to claim these days.

It's required to have scientific proof. But that's the problem: the aliens would be science-proof. They'd have the ability to bend our scientific 'laws'.

You forget though not all natures are the same so to say its in "human nature" is insulting yourself and me.
