People aren't. So to say it's wrong for aliens to come kill me isn't contradictory to what I've said as it fits nicely into the realm of:
Killing cows = okay
Killing People = not okay
I've stated my position, and I'm sticking to it. Why I draw that line. Is irrelevant.
Why you CLAIM all live is equal isn't the bone of contention, and so is also not relevant.
What I'm contending is that even though you Claim all life is EQUAL, you have clearly given several contrdictions that show you do not think that.
Joe construction worker vs Rats
My belifes it's an easy choice as the value of Joe construction worker is always higher than rats.
You claim 1 rat = 1 Joe
Therefore shouldn't it be true that
100 rats > 1 Joe?
Yet you chose Joe to live.
My statements have been completely compaitble with my stated belifes that people are superior to animals and are above the threshold of being okay to kill be it by people or aliens.
you've clrealy contradicted your statement that all beings are equal.

You must have missed my post, Joe baught the farm actually. Your answer to the alien question is a total copout! The aliens won't be able to talk to you nor do they want to. You can talk to your fellow humans, big deal, cows can communicate with eachother as well. Saying this is where I draw the line is you basically saying it is different because I am a human and therefore no matter what only I as a human count. I gave you a perfect example of your view toward animals being used by putting you in the same situation they are and you dropped the ball with that answer because that answer contradicts your own argument. We can use the animals because we are superior to them as humans but if a superior race came and put us in that same position they would be in the wrong? How so? You can't have it both ways.
