As an alien would you visit Earth?

Pretend to be an alien of your choice. You can go to Earth within a blink, would you visit Earth or would you be aware of those humans and avoid Earth like you would avoid a bear in the forest? (or you would just nuke the planet)
In case you choose to land, what would you do? You know, kidnapping people, brainwash, control governments or other things.

Personally I would just nuke the planet.
 
Either of the Poles for me. Seems like the simplest, safest and quietest option

Of course if I crash-landed and was buried under ice and subsequently dug up by a Norwegian science team after 100,000 years, I may feel slightly aggrieved.
 
You need to ask? I'm here, aren't I, and haven't bombed, vivisected, exterminated or otherwise annoyed any of the inhabitants yet. Certainly you're a touch primitive, and lack some empathy with other neighbouring species, but that's par for those few biotopes that generate sentient races - nobody can get ahead without a good dose of agressivity, and unless you destroy yourselves and your environment - unfortunately, quite a high probability - you're a fascinating study in contradictions.
 
No reason not to visit, unless there are many more interesting planets to visit instead.

What about a planet made of spaghetti, or a planet with rivers and seas of coffee, or maybe a planet made of dreams.

Or a planet with free Netflix.

Like Chrispy I'm here and have only caused moderate chaos. Although I'm from an alternate reality not another planet. ;);)

I smell some interdimensional alien conspiracy here.... You won't have my brain(there isn't that much either)!!!
 
I think I'd visit, but I'd definitely want to stay away from humans and their major settlements. There's so much beauty in the lands, seas and wildlife here that I'd just want to look at it all, like an alien David Attenborough.:)
 
Funny how people focus on the bad in humans. Imagine we discovered an inhabited planet what would interest us the most? The beautiful pastoral scenes, the fascinating grazing herds of animals, the even more fascinating animals preying on them or the rather destructive but sentient dominant species. Of course we'd want to see it all but I guarantee study of the dominant sentient creatures would get the most funding, earn the most scientific awards and attract the most researchers.

It would be no contest, the aliens would want to study us; everything else as well, but us as the dominant sentient species would be the biggest draw.
 
We checked on the electoral register, before we bought the house.
There are no cylons for at least a hundred parsecs.

I watched a couple of episodes of battlesta4 galactica, I really enjoyed ships' designs, but the overall plot didn't caught me very much.
 
Of course not!

I would never visit for the sole purpose to recon the planet for invasion, thus adding this tiny blue planet to our Galactic Empire!

I mean.... Um.... maybe.

Gods of Nibiru, sentient beings creators of mankind, I please you as one of the few believers of the Nibiru Precursors order.
I'm here to speak at you as one of your child, that believes only in the truth.
We, humans, your product, your sons, we failed, we didn't respected your willing, we are ready to be punished for our sins.

But I pray you to save those few people that seek the truth in your superior mind.
