Allow me to weigh in on just a little part of your comment. Seeing as how I work in food/agriculture, I can say that there is in fact plenty of food resources for everyone, it would take a serious shitstorm for there not to be enough food. Now granted, the food is not evenly distributed across the globe so there are areas that need more, but in general there is plenty. If there was a shortage then farmers would be absolutely rolling in the dough. But alas, certain crops are standing to lose money this year, simply because there is too much supply compared to the demand.

The Earth could go tits-up for any number of reasons. But as of now, a food shortage is a stretch.

If history serves me correctly, all it takes is a Randy Quaid crashing into a spaceship.

Those are good documentaries, but my favorite documentary on this issue is GalaxyQuest.

conversely the assumption is made that they don't think like us. I'm just saying the possibility is there should those with the capability do something. hell for all we know a planet just like ours with people just like us fired off a probe a billion years ago and it's come wizzing by any day now. I think there is more out there we don't know than we do know by looking from the inside through a telescope.

With a highly advanced and non-empathetic alien civilization arriving with the intention of colonizing Earth, we would be swept before them like so much dust.
indeed. hell they could be benevolent and wipe us out on accident with some alien virus that to them keeps their ears clean but is deadly to us. ie small pox to the injuins but not really.

don't forget Signs. maybe aliens to which water is deadly will try and take over a planet that's over 70% water on foot without weapons poisoning us one by one with farts from their wrists.

The whole aliens point is moot since they are already among us.
How else can anybody explain this:

i don't have this problem to much unless i'm trying to pass on a 2 lane road. but they don't hear me until i'm blowing past them at wot at 6k rpm SCREAMING down the road.

Whales are an exception for an obvious reason, they are suspended in a liquid; even there, food resources are a key issue. Now if you eat krill, then generally it will not be a problem getting enough food. But whales and dolphins do not make tools in the conventional sense, so it's hard to see how an alien race of whales could be much of a threat if they are like whales on Earth.
what if they're whales in space, require no oxygen and can live in zero gravity moving along.
