MW Extraterrestrial life Act (Failed)

How do you know that the aliens won't be dangerous?

Oups sorry. Where is the problem? If a human is dangerous, he's arrested, isn't he?

I mean if their goal as a species is to invade us. I can understand no torture, but there is no way we can possibly estimate how they will fit into our society as a species. If they think as a collective and try to invade us, why would we give them all a separate trial for example? I just think this is too speculative without possibly knowing what they are going to be like.

Good to see the Midwest is dealing with the important issues.

It's an important issue Oakvale! I guess no one will trust me, but I'm not trolling!

Just one word: Guantanamo.

The biology of an alien is not the same as the biology of a human. There are just so many unknown variables here that you cannot possibly legislate this reliably when you don't know what you are even dealing with.

Could you explain please? I don't understand what you want to say!

What I'm saying is that there could be alien life that we cannot even comprehend. How are they supposed to be subject to the same laws as humans? For example, a species that thinks as a collective, all with the intent of invading us. Are we going to put them all on trial even though each one thinks the same thing?

Once again, if they try to invade us, there would be no problem to stop them. If North Korea invades the USA, there would no problem to nuke them, right?

No, I would have significant moral qualms with nuking North Korea. But that's just one example, and there is probably other extraterrestrial life that we can't even begin to comprehend, so I don't think we should legislate on something we don't know exists or can't even begin to comprehend until we see what we are dealing with.
