(Puff......puff....pass)
So the day comes when an intelligent species from another solar system / galaxy reveal themselves to our dumb asses here on our little rock.
What do you think happens from there?
I'm thinking each government will try to brown nose the shit out of said visitors in order to gain technological / information advantages, and a potential ally against their Earth bound foes. This, in turn, will create strife, conflict, and war as the fucking morons we elect to "lead" each nation will insist on attacking each other to prevent the acquisition of said technologies. Eventually, SOME dumb ass will insist on attacking said visitors should they refuse to offer technological / information assistance, or to gain more of the same.
Meanwhile, there will be a LOT of citizens that realize we need to chill the fuck out, and they will demand their governments do the same. This in turn will be met with martial law, and the creation of a police state that makes the Orwell vision look like a pic-nic in the park. Eventually, space herpes takes on epidemic proportions, and whittles down the human race to levels unseen since the ancient Egyptians.
Eventually, we piss off the visitors so much they say "fuck it", leave, and establish a quarantine of our solar system to keep us trapped here until we un-fuck ourselves, or go the way of the dino's.
