treat us as somewhat comparable intelligent beings

hahahahah, we're bright apes, with barely enough intelligence to tell the difference at the lower end of our range. Given the range of intelligence that is possible, it'd be pretty unlikely the ET would be at the bottom range necessary also. We may not qualify as pets, be like having a pet rock.

Don't you think they'd be just as dumb as us.... maybe just a little less dumb. We're talking about traveling (min) hundreds of light years to see us!!! us!!!! and. BTW the fact that ET has lasted this long, to me at least, indicates that he's probably not as birght... I think there comes a point where intelligence of a group becomes negatively correlated with survival rates (I may or may not be serious).
And as far as exploiting, I think the main resource this planet would have that ET might want, that it couldn't get closer to its orgin, is the planet itself, gravity, atmostphere, ocean, medium sun near by.... think we'd be looking for a new place to live.
