........so a peaceful race of body snatchers....okay, well then they probably had never met another sentient species and had continually lived off of the energy of other organisms therefore never having to argue about supplies or space, ultimately leading to a warless world simply for the fact that they stole the lives from others. however when you deal with sentients, especially humans, we have a problem with anything stealing our freewill, that along with an innate want to disect whatever we come across and analyze it, and no don't say we don't I don't no how many times I wanted to rip apart toys and appliances to see how they ticked when I was a kid.

Our ability to resist impulses and make choices aside from pure instinct is what separates us from the animals.

Very polarizing exceptions...

On the one end of the spectrum, you have the mentally incompetent, because they're harmless and cannot really even conceive the notion of impulse, impulse control or instinct. On the other end you have Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Michael Myers, and Jason Voorhees whose instincts overtook them and made them into the human equivalent of Boogeymen.

"Peaceful" in their own way.
They have no qualms about taking over other beings. One species didn't even mind them doing it, The "Spiders". Think superintelligent silicon lifeforms that looks like an arachnid. They welcomed the Souls(What humans call the body snatchers) because they offered direction for the spiders. The Souls (I think that's what they were called), looked like luminous silvery ribbon things with branching legs. They are more or less sexless, except for a few who have the potential to become mothers. Like bees with a queen. Collectively, they are given to being altruistic to their own kind. The "Queens" give birth by separating into hundreds of young Souls, each with a part of their mothers memory. The mother doesn't survive this.. They are kind of helpless outside of their hosts, but their legs/arms/tentacles are razor sharp and can cause lots of nasty cuts. But they don't leech energy from beings. They only need hosts to survive outside of their home world.

Well, that's an interesting implication...

honestly I would have preferred it if we had settled for a small agreement. such as them taking over other animals, or us manufacturing human clone shells that they could dwell in if they were dead set on looking like us.

You mentioned...that which must not be named...GRRRR...STUPID TWILIGHT There are SO MANY REASON I HATE THIS SERIES!!! 1) Vampires DO NOT sparkle. Ever. Not kinda. Not a little bit. I've heard of surviving in sunlight, but that's plain ridiculous. 2) Vampires that don't eat meat or suck blood are not called vampires. They're called goths. Or vegans. 3) Shapeshifter is the obvious choice between those two. HELLO! He can TURN INTO EDWARD! 4) Stephen King doesn't like Stephenie Meyer; Stephen King is the business when it comes to writing novels. Ergo, Stephenie Meyer can kick rocks, gargle bleach, pass away and die. And take her legion of sparkly vampires, uncreative shapeshifters and undeservingly-popular emo-mopey girls with her.

and yes this would rise several "But mindless clones have a right too, or THIS IS PLAYING GOD." but I dissagree, it would benefit both of us in the long run ,and no one really get's hurt, or mind controlled....or better yet, have them only take over the minds of aetheists and peta members.not all aetheists just the annoyign ones that try to call all religions food for idiots. speaking of which did they have a religion.

That last suggestion would take FOREVER without a cloning machine, which would have to be the equivalent of a copying machine designed for genetic material...

Darn.. I had this funny picture about that, but I can't find it.. I'll settle for this one then..
