Until they invade, at which point humanity unites and royally kicks their rear ends.
That's how it always works in the movies, right? Well, except Skyline, but that one was stupid.
Then again, they may be terrified of us, since we're so warlike that we're perfectly willing to detonate nuclear weapons in our sole biosphere. Can you imagine what would happen in REAL life if a giant alien ship descended over Earth? It'd get every nuke in the arsenal sent towards it. There's actually a book series that deals with aliens invading Earth - aliens that have never met any species that can fight back. They find Earth... rather unpleasant.
If aliens were real and were totally unified and never fought each other, odds are good that human weapons would be way superior - after all, warfare is what drives weapons development.
BTW, I don't think aliens exist - this post is just for fun. Although the subject is fascinating to hypothesize about.

Good point. We certainly are a bloodthirsty and violent species, so maybe we'd be able to hold our own against some of the smarter and more peaceful aliens.

To be honest, I'm still not really convinced there's anything else out there
Oh, and Kooshie... something I've been meaning to ask you. The other day on TV there was this weird, space-y smovie with some strange dude called Data in it - what would that be? I never caught the title.
There are too many stars and planets for there to not be anyone else out there, I think. We may never meet them, but the odds that there are aliens are pretty good.
Was Data pale skinned and yellowish eyed, and did he have brown hair? If so, that was probably Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's a great TV series.
Still, untill we get definite proof and not just some grainy photos from some shuttle sent to Mars that could just be bits of rock... I'm an unbeliever
Yes, Data had very pale skin, brown hair and looked slightly un-human.

Understandable.
Probability may say that it's pretty likely, but we can't know for sure until alien life forms are found.
He's cool. I used to use a picture of him as my avatar.

Have you read a book called Deception Point? It proves what people with power get up to behind our backs. I guess it has SOMETHING to do with space, although not a lot
What does he do? I caught a line where this other dude told him he was 'speaking like a human'.
