Wonder where we stand on the galactic food chain.

Probably about the level that cattle are at right now.

Too little meat on us for that probably.
More like dogs.

What about fat people? Would that mean that americans get eaten while rest of the world get treated as pets :p?

no man, americans, and bhuddist monks would rule the planet

Right or wrong in our eyes, what's it matter? If a species is able to kill us then the question is for them, not us.

I do believe this isn't going to happen for a while though.

Kudos to you if you know where this questions comes from. :)

Stronger in terms of overall intelligence and physical capabilities.

Isn't this is what vampires are supposed to be? Stronger, faster, and smarter carnivores who feed on humans.

preach that to the evil aliens when they point their death rays at us.

Man has no predator, the population does not maintain equilibrium. Human overgrowth, capacity overload....danger danger warning.

I've killed countless ants and spiders within recent weeks. The same idea that makes me better than them would apply for a "stronger" species to kill us all.

Alright for who?

Does it matter if it's morally right to you or not?

Nope.

If a stronger species is bent on offing humans, all the morality discussions in the world among humans is pointless. It would be like mice discussing the morality of being catfood.

The question is most likely from Blade, or one of the few million other vampire movies.
