Why would you waste your intelligence dwelling on the negative?
An advanced alien race would most likely have the same experiences we've had. Why assume they would be paragons of virture to our vice? Also, why assume their technology would be so far advanced over ours? Sure it's possible but is ite really likely considering the time it took for live to advance to our level here, why would it take less time elsewhere?

You're right, I don't have a lot of regard to the human race, but I don't dwell on it, I just call it like I see it that's all.
As for virtue and vice, since WE can't seem to come to terms with our own man-made definitions, I can't begin to speculate to what an ailen race might define these terms as.
I have to assume they would be advanced far beyond us, at least technologically. If they would come here at ALL, they would probably crossed billions of miles to get here, and given our inability to do this ourselves I would have to assume, for better or worse that they would have chronologically surpassed the point where we are now by a mile. Ignorantly assuming of course that the two races would have anything in common, such as rate of development over time, capacity to advance along any recognizable lines, and the definitions ot the nature of time itself.
It's all blind guesswork of course, but I like my guesses...ha ha ha !
