Should Aliens have the right to kill us?

[NextGenNinja]

Since we kill livestock? This is all hypothetically ofc.
I got into an interesting argument about this today and wanted to hear what ya'll have to say.

The right to kill us?Lmao, who's gonna give em the right?

That's only if you have an inferiority complex, and view E.Ts as a superior to humans. If they're here, treating us like livestock, they're not "superior" or even "intelligent"...they're losers.

 

[davidou]

Noone is going to give them the right to do so, they just will do it if they can.
Has a lion the right to eat a gazelle?

Losers like us?
We also treat animals as livestocks.

Its not matter of "right" but ability and will. Nothing or anyone has the "right" to take a life. You take it cause you can.

My words exactly. And If by 'right' you mean would it be fair/karma if they did since we do the same to countless species then I agree with you, they do have the right in that respect. So does an artificial general intelligence if we ever develop it.

According to us and our emotions/desires it'll be wrong and amoral, we will detest and resist it despite the fact that cows, chickens, ducks, goats, fish, and all others feel the same way about how we treat them; and about us as a species. I will have a few curse words about being included in their genocide of our species but i wouldn't blame them if they used our own treatment of other species (and even our own species; racism anyone?).

See I told you OP everyone else agrees

You asked what is wrong with aliens being genocidal, pls go away.

Yea but good luck have you seen Independence day or Mars Attacks?

Yes, yes it does.

It seems you underestimate the intelligence of every animal.
Chimpanzé are somewhat smart, some scientists teached some chimp some of our words and those monkeys can dialogue with humans using draws, elephants are smart, sharks are smart, even cows are smart.
You know chimp have more than 99% of common genes with humans?
What is your standard to consider an animal "intelligent"?
Imagine the aliens have the same standards as you do, they will say that everyspecies that is less intelligent that them deserve to be in their plates, and if humans are less intelligent than them, as it should be if they come to Earth, we'll be their livestock...

It's all about survival. It has nothing to do with right and wrong. Sure. We polluted this blue planet, but we can set things the right way.

You say that, as if that's a reason for intelligent life to treat intelligent life as "livestock". Then, who compares animals to humans?You're not thinking straight, and that was just a your poor excuse.

"We also treat animals as livestocks"...that's so manipulative, and not an impactful enough of a statement, to actual mean anything.

Okay, too many sci-fi movies. Come back to planet earth!

Aww, animals treated as social experiments, not the self-taught ones. A "pet", to be exact.

That's not significantly intelligent. That's like, "1-2 year old human" mental development, at max. Not significant, and you're giving these monkeys entirely too much credit, which seems to be done a lot in human culture. I'm so sick of the exaggerations.

Being pressured by humans to be able to put a cup over your head, is not intelligent, it's overestimating animals, and beyond infantile.

please stop trying to make something special out of animals, with low mental capacities. It's desperate.

This statement, makes you a gossiping sell out.

I'm displeased with this thread, now.

I wuden't say they have the "right" to do anything, because "rights" are granted by society/goverments/empires etc.

But if they can travel here they surely would have suporior technology to us and they might deside it would simply be better to just exterminate us and take over the planet and it's resurces instead than try and broken some kind of peace, it's not like we are a very social or peaceful species... We can't even stop murdering each other over resources, so why some other types of life care about our lives when we don't?

 

[davidou]

You say that, as if that's a reason for intelligent life to treat intelligent life as "livestock".

You have to realise that' s what meat eaters animals do, and we are a part of those animals.

Then, who compares animals to humans?You're not thinking straight, and that was just a your poor excuse.

Humans are animals.

"We also treat animals as livestocks"...that's so manipulative, and not an impactful enough of a statement, to actual mean anything.

It means we can enslave intelligent beings to live more confortably.

Aww, animals treated as social experiments, not the self-taught ones. A "pet", to be exact.

Pets are an exemple of the intelligence animals have.

That's not significantly intelligent. That's like, "1-2 year old human" mental development, at max.

What' s significantly intelligent for you?
Are you implying you would let the aliens eat 1-2 years old human babies because they are not intelligent enough?

=D
You clearly don' t know what you are talking about, and seem not to want to.So be it.

You would proudly eat everything intelligent or not since you don't care about the intelligence of non humans animals, I have no problems with that.
Where I have a problem is when you say you would be shocked if aliens eat us, although you do the exact same thing.

 

[Fountain]

I've thought about this before. Not wether they have the right to kill us but wether we're like farm animals to them and they're feeding on our energy or something without our notice. Just a thought.

Yeah, something's really wrong with you...

I'm disappointed.

Victim mentality, arrogance, and that famous human inferiority complex.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Depends on their "moral" or their "thinking structure". But if Alien like Predator exist and true to Movie's portrayal Human will be wipe out. Cus they doesn't care.

The arrogance of humanity.

Who wants to invade you?What do you have that would make technologically advanced beings want to evade YOU ALL? Please stop flattering yourselves.Humans are so paranoid.

You people have nothing.
