That we haven't yet been carted off by slave traders, and also haven't been exterminated for our resources and/or planet, admittedly makes me feel more safe in regards to the galaxy.

Wasn't it Sitchin who claims that he translated some tablets and that we, The Adama, are nothing more than the product of some tweaked DNA in order to produce a race of slave labor for some lazy celestial overlords? I have to admit that it's more fun than being the product of some inferior deity who created us for nothing other than to have something to kneel and bow to their celestial radiance. (Has anybody else ever seen those alleged tablets of Sitchin?) IOW, We are The Cylons!

I never heard of him or that, nor do i think it likely. What such a race would be waiting on is unknown to m, but I should hope it never happens if such is the case

While I don't know if ETs have ever landed or would land I'm going to stay in the gray of the idea, but who is to say that ETs would not be interested in something other than humans in terms of an interest in this planet? Just as I won't inflate our "importance" neither will I inflate the old depreciate humanity in terms of holding interest for other possible life. To support one thought over the other makes no sense as we have no concept of how other species would think, what their priorities would be, nor what their needs would be.

True, my mind focuses on the negative possibilities more than it does the positive variety. See, I'd much rather be prepared for something bad and unprepared for something good than ready for the good and being stricken with the bad

Frankly, I like the "wondering" of it all aspect!

As do I ^_^

Earth is suited to most life you know simply because those life for which earth is not suited would either be extinct or never evolved.

This is true, and much of the life on earth has died out. :S

Aliens probably never had anything to do with the earths, so no need to suppose we or our planet suit them. While being slaves to aliens might be titillating to us, it may not be titillating to them, we eat a lot, shit a lot, talk a lot, need lots of water and air to stop from dropping dead and making a stinking mess . We can barely carry our own body weight, we lie around doing nothing like sacks of potatos for a third of each day, we can't crawl up walls, we can't breath water, we not good at thinking straight, we are fractious.

Some of the bucks among us are powerful specimens when compared to other species of Earth, a third of a day still means 66% uptime, meaning you can make do with 2 for a full day job, humans have climbed up cliffs and castles alike, airtanks exist and we do use them when under water (so there should be little trouble adapting us to a largely liquid environment), we think quite well when compared to other species on our planet (and even if we aren't nearly as intelligent as an alien specie: perhaps we'd make good dogs. I sure make a good dog ), a fair number of us have decent temperaments (and you know, as a slave class it doesn't really matter past that, and they likely have all the power they need to stop the bitchy variety of us from being so).

I imagine the larger aliens (that would likely be used for physical labour) eat a hell of a lot more, shit a hell of a lot more, and need lots more air and liquid than we do.

If their body plan isn't like ours, which it almost certainly isn't, then they can't even use us for sex in a pinch, gay or straight. So We are generally not good for anything, and smart aliens with space travel technology can do better with gadgets.

There's a lot more attractions than 'gay' and 'straight', and if they are anything like me (psychologically): there is certainly room for us sexually v_v

And i rather hope the bold to be true should the situation arise
