Replying to The human race is awesome...

while many people tend to focus on the horrific and tragic moments of human history (some wars, sprinkled in with some genocide, and other moral attrocities), they seem to forget how FUCKING AWESOME the human race is. While many inferior races specialize in certain aspects of awesomeness (bears are awesome because they are beasts, whales are the pimps of the ocean, kangaroos can jump high, cheetas are fast, etc...). Humans on the other hand kick ass every category of awesomeness. Here are some examples of why we are so fucking awesome:

-athletic prowess: the olympics is a great example of individual acheivements, the sport of football pits 2 teams of armored gladiators against one-another in combat, soccer requires incredible skill and coordination, golf is intense, etc....

-scientific skills: we put a fucking man on the moon, we're in space right now, we know a lot of shit about a lot of shit, we can design, engineer and build incredibly elaborate machines, structures, electronics, etc....

-artistic ability: this category isn't too important to me personally, but it definately helps lighten the mood in times of distress.

These poorly structured reasons lead me to believe that if we as a race is to ever face an ELE (extinction level event, for those who dont listen to busta rhymes), we'll figure it out. Heck, Billy Gates already has the ball rolling in attempts to fix climate change.

And when the aliens do come and start causing beef, we can equip some NFL players with space marine-esque power armor and weapons and we will dominate.
