Can you murder Aliens? LiptonCambell: Lets say an alien lands in your backyard- you shoot them, kill them, chop them up, and serve them to your family as burgers; Was that murder, or hunting? Aliens do not have any legal status- we have human rights, and animal rights, but extraterrestrial rights do not exist. Is it even possible, then, to murder aliens?  lori100: Aliens do exist , yes it would be murder. -------------About an airship sighting in Aurora, Texas in 1897 , the ship crashed into a tower. From "Confrontations"----"-the pilot of the ship, who 'was not an inhabitant of this world, ' had died in the accident. " Papers were found on his person written in unknown hieroglyphics. A piece of the ship was analyzed in the 1970's by the McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company. They found the combination of aluminum alloys did not exist before 1908. ----------------------------------------------------The small sized alien was buried in the Aurora Cemetary, but yrs later it seemed the body was stolen. LiptonCambell: Your opinions on the subject of the existence of aliens are noted Lori, but it is irrelevant to the discussion. Aliens aren't acknowledged as people in any legal documents, are they? If Aliens are not people, clearly that means killing them is akin to hunting, not murder  Corwin: I don't think that there are any Xenocide laws in the books, nor are there any hunting regulations as to seasons, slot-size requirements, or hunting licenses being issued... so it looks like it's open-season on the space-aliens. But the nutritional value of an actual space-alien made into burgers might be in question... their alien physiology may involve bizarre proteins unlike our own terrestrial DNA which may be undigestable or even poisonous to us. Best feed some to the cat first, just to be safe. ----------- Oh... and Lori.... how the hell was your post at all relevant to the topic of this thread?? lori100: Aliens deserve the same protection sasquatch does-----------Skamania County in Washington state has had an ordinance against killing Sasquatch since 1969, and Whatcom County, also in Washington state, passed a resolution against killing Sasquatch in 1992. lori100: As I am not vulgar like you .......how is your talk of burgers relevant to this thread?????
Corwin: Well... Lipton's O.P. states ---- " Lets say an alien lands in your backyard- you shoot them, kill them, chop them up, and serve them to your family as BURGERS." I think I'm right-on-topic here.  This is Lipton's thread.... RESPECT the thread!! ----------- And Lipton never asked whether the hunting of Sasquatch is open-season... he was inquiring about the legalities regarding the killing and possible feasting upon of "space-aliens"... if you can cite regulations that are relevant to this discussion, we would like to hear them. (but please provide links... if we can obtain proper hunting licenses for this sort of thing, Lipton and I would both be glad to pay the required fee, and keep it all legal-like.) You really can't stay on-topic, can you?? It's all about YOU... and your "agenda". The "pot calling the kettle black" of topic on-ness.... ..... well I need a ruling on this.... Hey Lipton!..... Who's on-topic here?  lori100: Since when have you ever respected ANY thread of mine??? Ok, I didn't see his burger post....alien burgers would not be acceptable. There...I mentioned them.....happy? People don't believe aliens exist and don't believe sasquatches exist......both need protection...  ghostgeek: Technically, killing an alien may not be murder because that involves killing a human but it could well be inadvisable. They may not take kindly to being killed and eaten.  Wild__: In the state of California, killing aliens IS murder! But hey... dead or alive, they make great taco's.  Wild__: If having pacifism mandated on the general populace while giving lenient sentences to violent criminals is commendable, then yea, California is a great place to be a gang member.  atavic: well perhaps if it is the very first unfortunate alien to set foot on the planet, you might get away with murdering one, citing ignorance of interplanetary law, however once a dialogue is established killing aliens on sight might not be a good idea. Corwin: Unless they're evil aliens bent on taking over the world and enslaving Mankind to work in their Dilithium mines on Rigel 7...... then killing them on sight would be a good thing. For the time being, I'm just going to assume this is the case... and keep my grill on standby. (Edited by Corwin) Wild__: I don't know about that Corvin. I'm waiting until the first few specimens have been thoroughly tested and the ensuing recipe book has been established. Corwin: Good point... best to allow the more experienced chefs have a go at it first, and let us know which blend of herbs and spices best complements grey meat. Hmmm... which makes me wonder... you serve white wine with chicken and fish, and red wine with beef..... what beverage would you serve with grey alien? Wild__: Should we make an alien burger? Or is their meat best filleted and sautéed in butter, lemon juice, and garlic... like a choice cut of salmon?  We just don't know yet.  smaccaroni: It would depend on if the alien was documented or un-documented.....OOPPS, wrong aliens..LOL. angellinegirl: look for Phil Schneider on youtube - he says he killed one.... I don't support his claims... but i found it interesting to watch the clip |
