In Response To: Is killing aliens in video games really OK? (MovieMaker5087)

: I was reading Frankie's latest Halo 2 weekly update (the one wear he goes to
: Europe) and I found the part interesting when the two Brits were OK about
: killing off a thousand Covenant soldiers, with all the blood and gore and
: such, as long as they weren't humen. Well, has anyone ever thought of this
: before? First, let me say that my mother and sister-in-law appose violence
: in video games, but they say that "killing aliens is OK". Well,
: what if, somewhere out in the far regions of space, some advance speices
: of aliens (say like the Covenant) somehow manage to see a demo of Halo,
: and take notice that we're killing them off. What if they got angry and
: came and rose hell of Earth cuz of it? Or what if aliens decided to live
: on Earth? Then how would we get away with it?

: "In your video game, do you kill any species belonging to the Zorgon
: race?"

: "Why, yes! You can destroy thousands of them in one shot and splatter
: blood and such everywhere!"

: "Well, we're gonna have to ban your game due to the fact some things...
: I mean people might get a tad offended by the mass alien carnage..."

: I could hear my mom and sis-in-law now: "Turn that game off! It's far
: too violent! You know your cousin Aafwearojfd is from Zorgon and he would
: find that very offensive! But it's OK as long as your killing something
: other than that..."

: Has anyone else ever thought of such a thing before? What do you guys think
: about this? I mean, you never know...

No. Just, no. I am opposed to other life that will ever contact us.
And if Vogon poetry is any sign, I hope for my insanities sake I'm right. :)

And personally I ardmire the "Who cares if it ain't human" attitude. I think the british sensors have thier priorities in line.
